Good evening

Bike magazine would like to invite an owner and NSR250 to a speed test session at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground, near Leicester, UK, next Friday Dec 2, 9.30am-1pm. The resulting article in the magazine will of course plug this excellent forum and its many useful products and services. I therefore hope this is a legal post.

We want to: photograph your bike professionally (you can have copies of the pics), talk to you about owning the bike, and invite you to have a razz down the two-mile runway. You don't have to ride but we've got a data logger which records speed accurately so it might be fun to bring your leathers.

In return you get: a slap-up breakfast in the WW2 canteen. The chance to ride your bike flat out. Some very nice pics.

The bike can be any NSR250 model as long as it's fairly standard. Please note that Bruntingthorpe has a noise limit: stock or equivalent pipes only. Being an old airfield it's also not a great place for corners. There are a couple, but really it's more of a straight line place.

(Incidentally if you have a Honda RC/NC30/45 or SP-1/2 we're after one of them too).

I'm Rupert Paul, a freelance writer for the magazine. If/when I get a rider I will put up a post saying the position is filled.

Thanks for reading.
