Open invite to all who want to attend.

I think it sounds like a good idea. Things have been mighty quiet here for a while but hopefully there will be some interest. I am up for meeting somewhere if I can get a pass out for the day.

Here's hoping for some of the usual suspects to show up too.

Thanks to Pete and Paul, really well organised and run at just the right pace in my opinion.
The bumps and the strong winds were fun
I'd not ridden my bike for a couple of months so it took me a while to get my head into it. Nice to see those I knew already and nice to meet some new people (Going Home, nice bloke).
I slipped away after lunch and got home safe and mostly in the dry. I hope everyone else got back ok.
See you again soon I hope.

Uka

Was well impressed that you travelled so far the the rideout,

Uka, was good to have you with us, loads of the guys were asking who you were, as you seemed to be a riding god fecking quick was one comment,

thanks to those that made it out, sorry i did not say hi,

by the way really liked your beemer dee tee,

 

[Dee Tee]

About 90 miles to Baldock.Glad i came rather than heading for Hunstanton on my own,which is what was likely after i got let down by a couple of Mates .


Oh,and I rather like the Beemer,too

 

[Wapping]

I think I may have seen you all at the Green Welly....

Oh God, now I am sounding like one of those "I saw a motorbike yesterday, was it you?" maniacs.

The older I get the quicker I was
I'd rather be a sex god
You didn't tell them who I was did you?

 

[g.s.john]

[going home]
