i was so busy at work yesterday (had to close the unit) that i didnt get time to sneak away and thank Dave and Val for such a fantastic weekend...even though i didnt win anything in the raffle

drinking far too much vodka than is decent
giving rev chuck a bloody great big cheque
being in the car when it was pi**ing down
meeting all these new girlies on their bikes (the posse is swelling)
dry warm bed with a loo next door....

low points........
getting 'chatted up' by rcc54:blckeye
being in the car when it was sunny
visiting TRAGO MILLS (don't even bother thinking about it):flush
my head spinning round in my dry warm bed and using the loo next door at 3a.m.
someone threatening to phone up Mr. Matron to tell him the state i was in.....

Thank you so much for a great weekend....Dave and Val now deserve a fortnight in the bahamas for a rest.....
And thank you for looking after me mate Jill... he had a fantastic time, which as some of you may know ...she was in need of
can't wait for next year...xxxx

Matron - Nice to meet you (and the rest, Phil/Dave/Whatton etc...) in Marlborough on Friday.

I rode home knowing I was heading in the wrong direction, wish I'd taken the room now

Glad to hear you all had a crackin weekend.

Until next time....

Re: Awesome weekend

Finally, I've managed to master the ability to post several images on the same post.........so here are a few of my memories.

The cheery sight from the bunkhouse on saturday morning.....

The Yarkshire posse having lunch with Jez's mum & waiting for our "steak on the rocks".....

The squadron, ready for the call to scramble.....

Shaun, you were such a star.....take a bow

Jim "Karaoke" McFlurry.....

& the best saved 'til last. Kylie, forgive me.....the voices made me do it.

Sorted (for now?). Not sure what happened, but the images are stored in a BT Yahoo album & all the codes changed on the photo's......

Please tell me you're kidding..... Bugger me, they've gone again.

Anyway, our ride out on Saturday took us on a visit to see Bananashark Racing who run an off-shore powerbaot racing team. During an hour or so guided tour of the boat & kit, I was amazed to find they run a 2.5litre or 3litre V6 2stroke engine. A fantastic time & really interesting to talk with.

Cheers for taking us round there, Jez. The lengths we go to, to get stickers for the panniers......

A few piccies......

You's lot waltz off t'de co'na' of de country on yo' flash wheels and nobody gives some toss about how poo' Donkey be goin' t'get dere.

If ya' wuzn’t all so's far down yo' own arses, ya' could gots plum sent me some little message t'say dat dere be a spare space on yo' chariot and ah' would gots been dere. Why, ah' could even gots gone t'dat Tosserman’s bustfast and made some waffles!

Dat Matron honky chick could gots picked me down in ha' car and snatchn me t'de party and ah' could gots seen all mah' cousins on de moo's.

But, damn it, ya' lot gots had yo' last chance. If ah' get missed out on any acshun in de future, dere’s goin' t'be big trouble cuz' Mrs Donkey be goin' t'come and dig ya' all!

Right on! Right on!

NO RAFFLE PRIZE FOR MATRON !

Matron -- I'm both appalled and somewhat abashed to learn that you failed to win a raffle prize - this because after many years of being a similar , sad , prizeless , ticket-clutcher , I won - TWICE !

And one of the prizes I opted for was a pot of , "Matron's Rampant Raspberry Jam" AND it is absolutely spot on and delicious to boot !!!

If Mr Matron ever fails to appreciate his excellent fortune in being wed to the creator of such cullinary excellence - tell him from me and all the Bryan brood that , "Johnny Boxer may think that he won the star prize but those of us in possession of a pot of Rampant Raspberry know different !"

Thanks for making a B.O.F.'s breakfast go with a zing !!!

All the best ,
James

Thanks everyone for another excellent GS event and for making a CS rider so welcome. By the way, why is it most bikes were covered in mud come Sunday morning but Colin's GS was pristine? Did he get up in the middle of the night with a bucket of soapy water? Surely not! See ya's next year....ride safe.

well.... blimey.. from a yorkshire man as well....
you would be amazed at my many talents......shame keeping upright on an 1100GS isn't one of them.....
thanks for the compliment...i'll whizz up another culinary experience for the next raffle

Re: Re: NO RAFFLE PRIZE FOR MATRON !

...i'll whizz up another culinary experience for the next raffle

1st prize - a pot of Matron's jam.
2nd prize - 2 pots of Matron's jam.

That should keep attendance down to manageable numbers

"Yorkshire man" -- NOT !

Matron -- You seem to have confused my missionary position with my lineage !

I'm here attempting to educate , civilise , save , the benighted English and have had only limited success .

In the mean time all our children (modesty prevents me from enumerating) , are Yorkshire born & bred - something which fills me with mixed feelings .
Still if they couldn't be born in Wales (Marilyn objected to my plans for pitching a tent in Dowlais when she was 10 centimeters dilated - still can't see why) , Yorkshire is the next best thing !

As to Mike's attempt at humour , I take it that the poor unfortuneate is known to you - or are we able to look forward to his fast approaching comeuppance ?

All the best ,
James

ps. - All jam now consumed , I'm already saving for a book of BOO BOO's best

Actually, he's missing his sausages & bacon - which he bought on the way to Princetown & left in my pannier when he sloped off home early with a cold................

They tasted lovely for breakfast this morning.
