Hello to everyone - finally making my first post having been registered for over a year. Laptop died/new to all this thread business/lazy (select excuse from list...)

Had an interesting biking year last year - crashed my owned since new 10 year old M600 at a wet silverstone track day as part of ill advised attempt to shake off winter rustiness/stop being so slow ahead of doing a big tour of denmark, sweden, estonia, latvia and lithuenia. Sob. But silver lining was (a) amazingly I did not have a scratch on me (thank you Arai) and (b) as already got trip booked and could not get bike fixed in time had to get a new S2R 1000 (instead of new kitchen...) and just managed to get run in and serviced and documents through in time to go (thank you Ron Parkinson - great dealer). Was fab trip and sun shone. Anyway looking to get skills/confidence up and hoping to do some serious biking this year (gotta justify having 2 bikes!) - went back to commuting again (on M600 - now fixed tho' cosmetics still to do), signed up for UKMOC trackday (looking forward to meeting some of you there - and hopefully staying right way up this time...) and off to WDW. So should be a great year!

If anyone's been to previous WDW's and got any tips about where to stay let me know. I'm taking my time getting there as hoping to stop by a German biking mate on way out, but be good to hook up with fellow UKMOCers at the event itself. Any key places people stay/hang out? Got ticket already, but will look to sort accom/ferry in next few weeks (if laptop behaves...) so appreciate any advice....

Cheers
