Rally's/Runs

[Jockser]

Not a bad day out but chilly

Brought the camera but no battery

As there was 3 12's & an RT no pics is not a prob - think most of youse have seen similar bikes before & the scenery was mostly white so not very exciting

Good to meet ya Denis - you could do worse than that blue bike (it could be red )

Shame we missed drtod - shout earlier next time, there's a good lad

The most disappointing thing about today was that the tosser that started the thread didn't turn up Our revenge will be sweet BF He said it was too frosty but I think he was under the affluence of incahol

Guess that explains why they're all flat

I headed across to Naas, Kilcock & then Maynooth where I met Ron & his son Ben. We cruised up the N4 to Edgeworthstown where Denis was already waiting on a borrowed 12GS. There's a little hotel (Park House) where we had brekkie (2 sausages, 2 bacon, 2 pudding, egg, hash brown, tea & toast for €5 ). We had already ordered when Wizard turned up, mumbling about the condition of the roads but I think when the alarm went off he just rolled back onto the missus

After our feed & a chat we followed Denis down the N55 to Athlone where he went on towards home (Ennis) & we turned onto the R390 to Mullingar, then onto the N52 to Kells & then Ardee. We partook of more food & drink here before heading to the M1 where Wizard headed north & we went south. Home via the M50/M7/M9. Home by six having covered 250 (cold) miles - thank god for the heated jacket & grips

Generally the roads weren't too bad, except for a few dodgy r'abouts early in the day A lot of the roads, even where the sun hit, remained damp but the worst was a couple of dry straights leading into sharp damp right handers - Wizard inspected the soot on my can more than once but it woke the up

Now, are youse sorry youse didn't turn up ???

Top marks lads, for even heading out at all!!!

Woke at 8am checked the temp and it was -1.7C, then looked outside just to put my mind at ease that i would be better off in bed. Freezing fog which didnt clear till about 2pm.

Cheers for keeping me informed Jockser, hopefully next time.

And you can bloody well buy me a new seat...... there's a big sharp ridge in this one since yesterday

Took the "easy" way down...... Armagh, Monaghan, Cavan. Most of it was OK, but from Middletown down was a bit slippy, so I had to moderate (is that still a bad word around here?) my speed a bit. Took just shy of 2.5 hours to get down. Last time I listen to Jocksers estimates , and next time I'm doing a Trev!

 

[drtod]

Sorry I didn't make it either.Looked out and saw the white roads an thought too cold and too far to go from the North west here (checked with theaa.co.uk 138 miles to Edgeworthstown ) I wouldn't mind in the Spring/Autumn/Summer but not the slippy, salty depths of winter
