It's me buffday next Saturday......and on the Sunday it's the Essex air ambulance run....so I thought a bit of a BBQ would be nice, plus get a few GSs together to do the run for a bloody good cause.

It leaves Ford Dunton in the morning (Basildon, 8.30am) and wends its merry way up to Harwich where there's a family fun type thing on...last year there were over 4500 bikes on the run so it's a biggy!

That World Champion Stunt Rider Craig Jones bloke will apparently be doing his thang at the start while brekky is served by a host of totally stark naked wenches, then it's off on the road.

(hmm, I may have made a little bit of that up :rolleyes:)

Anyway....I'm in Harwich, 30 secs away from where the bikes end up, I've got a big gas BBQ and parking for a few bikes.......plus if you want to stay the night you're more than welcome, have crash space for a dozen or so on the floor (bring your own mat and bag!)

Oh yes, bring something to slap on the Barbie as well......and whatever alcoholic beverage you'd like to tip down your neck :)

That's it really.....the forecast is looking good and it'd be nice to get a few GSs out on the road for the event :thumb2

Pre-registration and info on the ride is HERE and you might win a G6650X that Cannons have donated :thumb
(oi, quiet at the back there!! :nono)

I'll need to know how many may or may not turn up so I know what space is available, so let me know or post here and I'll cap it at a certain number or find some more floor space somewhere :)

:beerjug:

I'm free next Saturday, and will need to break in my new tyres. Subject to knackered alarm being removed successfully, and the weather being better than awful, I'll be up for it!

Saturday....Sunday....whatever....

:o

Still possible for the Sunday. If it's only me, I expect YOU to provide a couple of sausages. :D
 
Mmmm 634 mile round trip...bit far for a pish-up, even for me...

:(

(The bumping is good tho'..?)

:D
 
If you fancy the trip Chris, you're welcome to stop over the Saturday night as well so you can do the run...Must admit big group rides really aren't my thing but it gets to a stage where it must be pretty impressive I reckon....4500+ bikes on the road is going to be quite impressive :nenau

It's only 300 miles (each way, admittedly). And now we have Bill's agreement to provide bangers for one, you'll only be "one more" ...

Just dreaming: Back tyre is bald after "McBeer Hunters" and fuel pump still wired direct to battery... MOT due..and tax disc..

Sensible heed must prevail :tears
 
I think SWMBO is working next sunday and i've got the saucepan lids. If not i might just make it. It's a good cause:bounce1
 
Have just moved this to the East ANglia section from the bunker as it's more pertinent here.

I'll be on the 1150GSA with a pink haired pillion and massive black panniers, we should be easy enough to find and aim to arrive at DUnton at about 8.30 to get sorted out.

Any more GSs fancy a silly day out?? :)
 
Hi Fanum

I'm up for the sunday run out if the weather's ok. Haven't met any other members yet. Possible we could meet up on the Sundat morning for the the run to Dunton as i dont know it.

geordie
 
:D I can make it :D As yet haven't got a clue what time i'll get there. What time does it start?:rolleyes:
 
Essex Air Ambulance run

Yeah - what time it start?

As far as I can gather from their web-site gates open at 8.30 but does not say when the ride is expected to set out for Harwich.

Sir needs time to scoff his breakfast...
 
I think I saw somewhere on the E.A.A website that the ride actually leaves at 11-11.30 but I'll have another read up later, and I'll sort out a map or two for finding Dunton.

I'll have a think about how to arrange a meet up in Harwich as well in case people can't find eachother.......my place is hard to find but I've got an idea for that and will sort it today :)
