#1 Post by GeoffRZV500R » Thu Apr 10, 2014 12:21 pm

For those of you (like me) who missed it, Andy at VJMC is hoping to organise a parade on the following thread.

http://www.rzrd500.com/500phpBB3/viewto ... =2&t=11368" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

He has set up an email address to keep people up to date rd500lc-2014@hotmail.co.uk .Email him there and he will add you to the list.

20 have said they will go so far.

See you there

Geoff

Is this still going ahead and at the dates given? I need to plan the meets I'm attending this year and also holidays! There doesn't seem to be much information about it and no mention of an RD500 gathering on the Donington or the VJMC website. In fact, I don't see much interest at all! I'd also hoped there would've been some involvement from Yamaha UK, even if it's a minor involvement.

As well as the VJMC event on that weekend, which will hopefully include a 30 year celebration and parade lap of RD,RZ and RZV500's, there's a Classic Motorcycle Festival presented by XFX which includes a 40 year celebration of the RG500 with Kevin Schwantz in attendance and riding his GP bike.

It would be a shame if the 30 year anniversary of our beloved bikes went past with a whimper. I hope the interest and momentum picks up soon, and as many V4 500's as possible get along.
