Some of you may remember Rockin Robin.. who was a frequent poster on here and also at some of the Reading meets.
My partner Neil bought his bike in 2008 ( I think) and it has been restored.... (gets it back tomorow) - think Kid in Candy shop !!!
neither of us have ridden much due to health issues,, (Neil had a heart attack!!)
I am going to try and post pictures for you.. once he has sorted them out.
ps I have sold my 500 its just to heavy for me now... I still have my EL 250 tho.
There are now two bike meets at TOMCC one is for classic and the other is open to any bike as before (more info will be posted on events for you) .
Watch this space.
Neil and Hilary

OMG Sorry i have just this seen this, I hope that Neil is ok after his attack... It will take time but I'm hoping all gets back to normal for you both
As for Reading count me in so add the detail to the group when it becomes available.
Best wishes to you both Swamps

Hi Hillary & Neil,
Great to hear from you and i hope Neil is well on the mend. I've bumped into him a few times at Woodley M&S!! and was only thinking the other day i hadn't seen him for a while!
Looks like you've been busy on Robin's 1100, stunning job it looks amazing, i remember it from the early Reading meets. I hope Robin maybe looks on the Zone and sees his old bike looking like new.
I'm going to put my Zephyr on the road come spring time, so please keep us posted on any meets it would be great to catch up with you both
All the best Neil (eddie)
