Soof, i only signed up very recently. Cant comment on what you've said, but only found out about it through visit to dealer, so its definitely on.
Fareboro, I got a couple of emails last week, did you? One from bmw saying bike would be collected from dealer on 2nd Oct, and another from FE with details of hotel, and the event (e.g. James Haydon, Steve Plater taking over from Neil Hodgson). Assume you have had these? I only found out flights when i had to call them about something, have not yet seen anything official...
