Will you be having a look round Rebbonk?

Sadly, no.

I'm currently suffering a nasty bout of gout to my left foot. I'm just about managing to hobble round walking the dog: a crowd and being on my feet for a couple of hours is a definite no, no. Shame though, it looks a decent offering. Maybe next year?

Hope your foot clears up soon Rebbonk. Fingers crossed the festival will be back next year.

Cheers Lex.

The attacks seem to be getting more frequent the older I get, but the intensity isn't usually as bad as this time. They do call gout the 'rich man's' disease don't they? ;)

Too much port & good living Rebbonk!

Sounds like a typical weekend in Cov!

I'm really not sure about racing on public roads. The roads aren't built for it and an accident could do a lot of expensive damage.

Here are the road closures for this year's Motofest: https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/coventry-motofest-road-closures-16303837

I find this incredibly ironic when we're being told that we're about to face clean air charges.
