For future use, postcode of National Motorcycle Museum is B91 2TH. That should get you there next time..... :lol:


:sad1: ,,,they's witchcraft I tell yer,,,, so it's not B92 OEJ like it says on the website addy then ? :evil: (although we kinda figured that as we sailed into yet another bloody brummie cul-de-sac :roll: )


When I first Googled for the address the first option Google gave was the wrong one ....there was a link next to it that said check if this postcode is correct or something like that and if checked it said no :shock:
Further down the page was the official NMM website link and it did give the correct postcode.
Easist thing to remember when heading there is it is in the same area as the NEC just the other side of the massive roundabout type of section.

:hehe: sorry, all you sat-nav users, but that is genuinely funny. I love reading maps and using the old (and rapidly decaying) grey matter.

I never had a bike so white with salt spray but we've cleaned the Ulysses this morning and he's back to his usual immaculate state :P....

As you know Chris i am a Satnav user BUT i will agree that the only reliable way of navigating is with a map ;) ..........................well unless you've been sabo'd and somebody pinched a page :lol:

You'd have thought with all this technology around these days, someone could put all the details and maps from them sat navs down on paper and maybe ringbind it or something. One of them would be handy :yup:

Hmm... we should come up with a name for that. Mapnav? :lol:

This is probably the last thing you need to hear, GM, but this is really why peeps should not rely on satnav. M1, A42, M42 to jct 6, it doesn't really need electronic assistance.

You must have passed signs for the NMM to have got as far as Solihull, which is the next junction down.

,,never saw one Norm, and was looking for them, as I only use sat nav to get me somewhere close, or if, as was the case yesterday, to find somewhere in citys I don't know,,,passed the NEC signs three times and wondered, as a dim spark in the un-visited regions of my mind told me that was the way I should be going,,,



Phone bust ?? :?

Didn't get to meet all on account of talking to others :oooops: apologies Good to see everyone and good to see a new generation of Buellers maybe. Hope a bunch of chundering old bikers didn't put the young lads off.
Nice to nibble on Janes Titbits :shock:
Ride home was colder but clearer and no need to divert via a closed Jack's Hill cafe :evil: less twitchy moments on way home.
Have a good and safe New Year all.
Genic,were you in the blue Buell hoody? Buddy had the cool hat? Excuse my memory I get fuddled easy :oooops:


yep i was in the blue hoody and buddy was wearing the farmers cap. :D
