Vin - I've had 26 expressions of interest. I've sent an email out recently to all 26 to confirm actual numbers. You were one of the early confirmations, so I have sent an email to you this even ing with more info.

Ronnie - the Classic Race Weekend is all weekend and our RD/RZ stand will be part of the VJMC show which is also all weekend. There will be an exhibitors track parade at approx 6pm on the Saturday evening. I only currently have confirmation of this track parade rather than specific RD500 parade laps but there will be 500 bikes at the VJMC show and if all of these parade it will be good.

Bye for now.

Is there any poster available that mentions the RD/RZ stand? Had a look but can't find anything.

Hi Ronnie,

Not as such but we will be part of the whole VJMC show held in the Exhibition Centre.

**Chaps and Chapesses** if you haven't confirmed your attendance already, please let me know at rd500lc-2014@hotmail.co.uk asap!

Many thanks.

Andy.

Hi all,

We have a large group of people and bikes attending the 30th anniversary next weekend but your attendance would only make the event bigger and better!

The VJMC part of the show will have approx. 500 bikes and we will be part of this on our own 3oth anniversary stand. On the Saturday evening, the VJMC and all exhibitors will be allowed on track for parade laps.

I've had it confirmed that the RD/RZ500 30th anniversary group will lead out the parade laps. This could be the largest amount of bikes on track at Donington all at once and we'll be leading it out!

Following this, the main contingent of the VJMC will be directed back to the exhibition hall but our group will be directed back down to the grid for a group photo opportunity.

There are still spaces available, so please double check your diaries to see if you can make what should be a memorable event.

There won't be a Stan Stephens that weekend but there will be a Kevin Schwantz at 12 o’clock on Saturday and 11 o’clock on Sunday.

In case of any last minute decisions on displaying your bike, I will have passes with me. The only caveat is that VJMC rules for the weekend are that your bike will need to be in the show by 10am on the Saturday and must remain there until 5pm on the Sunday.

If you want an exhibitor's pass, please email me at rd500lc-2014@hotmail.co.uk.

Look forward to seeing you there!

Andy.

I think forum members should have had t-shirts made with the group name and their own name printed on. :grin: We'll probably be standing next to each other looking at the 500's and not even know! :mrgreen:

Will try to get up there sat afternoon
Im hoping the VJMC will allow my 500 out on track even just for the pics
But I know that may be problematic
It depends on how quick BMRC are at brands getting through the program
but hoping to be there for 4pm

Yeah. They demand the 'whole weekend' for any display bikes. We'll just have to fight your corner. The Mistress deserves to be back on the circuit.

Here ya go Ronnie - try this and see if it works!! :shock:

Seriously.... I am in awe of the efforts you guys have put forth to make this happen. I only wish I could make the trip over the pond to attend. Health problems and shear travel distance make this outside of my envelope at this time... :-x

A major tip-of-the-helmet to Andy for grabbing this opportunity and running with it to make our beloved 500's shine in the 30th anniversary of its birth... OMG (as the kids would say :grin: )

I want you guys to ROCK this event for the rest of us around the world... and (of course), pics and videos from the event are required to be posted here, or you will be forever banned from the Owners Group... :twisted:

HAVE FUN AND REPRESENT US THE BEST YOU CAN !!!! :smt023 :smt023 :smt023
