It will be massive!
Btw, @ Hans.
Is there a WD bike collective during the events? Do you all share a campsite? 65th I did not have a BSA yet so did not notice
We'll be @ Insigy Sur Mer with a group...mostly Jeeps

Well, quite a lot of the older generation prefers the "Reine Mathilde" camping at Etreham, a nice, quiet place until the bikes arrive
But I think you have to start your bookings NOW for 2014...

Are there any arrangements being made by, or for, members of the forum to attend, or is it all down to individuals and/or groups.
Maybe someone could put something together to give us new chaps an idea of what arrangements are being made and how we should approach this event? Any helpful suggestions would be welcome.
Oh, and I must try to get a bike sorted by then...

In 12 years I've only had a couple of wet D Day tours...and the 65th wasn't one of them...

No Problem Dave...Now you have a target to aim for. There will be regular updates on the forum as we get into next year....Ian

Hi Lee..As I always say when the question of M20 'performance' comes up..'Monday to Friday in 5 days, weekends in 2'.. ...How is the bike running now?..Have you had a chance to get out on it again?...Ian

Ian, can you reserve me a pitch ? Preferably next to someone who's always got the kettle on and a big tea-pot. I'll bring a mug !
Hi Rik..There should be sufficient space for everyone..it's just a matter of booking onto the tour when the list opens...Your main challenge is to harangue all the Norton owners and get a reasonable number there!....Ian

I'm trying to get the 16H put together but I keep being distracted I'll be there though, if it's not finished I'll put it in the van and take it to France. We'll have it put together before I leave

My mission at the moment is to get a certain Enfield owner there on a WD motorcycle but he keeps saying that he's too busy making M20 parts .
...How is the bike running now?..Have you had a chance to get out on it again?...Ian Hi Ian
Bike riding time has been pretty slim of late due to a friends wedding at the weekend and poor weather at all other times. Apart from that, it's benefitted from tweaks to the clutch and choke and, touch wood, all seems ok at this early stage. I'm hoping to get 500 miles under my belt between now and the Armour & Embarkation/Weymouth Veterans weekend. 480 to go!

Hi Rob..We will be in Normandy next year checking out routes/locations etc. etc...It strikes me this would also be a good rendevous for the run down to the 'Pegasus' end...I'll have to check out the route options back to Arromanches from there and the implications of keeping a large group tightly together over the greater distance..We might still have to stop at Asnelles or a similar location to 'reassemble' the group before going into Arromanches. Also we have to incorporate the measured 2k run, with filming etc. for the Guiness record and if it is like 65 for 65 we will have a narrow time window for entry into Arromanches...but it may be worth consideration..the longer run would be nice..Ian

Rik,
You will have to loose the black census number patch.
In 1944 that would have been a bit to conspicouos and the bike would have looked much more used.
The RE man certainly needs a nudge. There are plenty of M20's already so the emphasis should be on the other marks. 
Its definitly my intention to go. 65 for 65 was an experience never to be forgotten. Snaking through the Normandy countryside gave a very special feeling. Plonkers all around, marvellous. Must admit, the weather certainly helped.
To all Norton owners, get your lazy asses of the couch!
It was a disappointing experience to see so few of so many of them.
Cheers,
Rob

Lee,
When at Weymouth, come up and have a chat (always plenty of time at the car park Sunday morning) I will be with a Katy, and Ian, so looking forward to 2014,
Lee
K2Y it is, always torn between that and the M20 for Weymouth, we will be there on the Friday night, do you have far to go to get there

I live just the other side of Shaftesbury, so not far for me at all and that weekend will be my first of its kind.
My plan is to arrive at Maiden Newton on Friday, spend Saturday with Armour & Embarkation and then Weymouth on Sunday. Not having participated in anything like this before, it should prove entertaining!
