Thoughts On Next Ride Out

[Rev Chuck]

BoinGGGG.

I had a chat with Ronno today and we shall be at the Green Welly at 10:30 tomorrow on our way up to Oban if anyone else wants to meet with us there that would be fine.

Cheers
G C

Is that leaving at 10.30? Or leaving at 11.00?

 

[G.C.]

Be leaving the "Welly" about 11 Rev.
Hope to see you there.

G C

Shit Ride Oot For Ronno

Fkn disaster for me anyway! Got as far as Crieff and started having a bit of bother changing down...reached Lochearnhead and bike kept stalling in 1st and 2nd at the T juction. I knew summit was far wrong and pushed bike to a safe bit of road. I then phoned G.C and fk me...he'd broken down at Glencoe with a dodgy chain sprocket.

I phoned my man in Stanley (Dave Roberts ) who was busy but promised to be with me asap. While I was waiting, Robbo and Rev Chuck arrived on the scene and stayed with me for a while. Thanks lads. In the meantime, I'd phoned Grizzly and made him aware of my sitch.

Robbo and Co then headed for the green Welly. A couple of GS's and a GSA all passed me at different times and I was a bit dismayed that none of them stopped, seeing a fellow GSer, parked up in what would seem to me to be an obvious break down position. Cheers anyway whoever you were

2 x guys on Sports bikes did the decent thing...as did a couple of motorists.

Three hours later, Dave Roberts arrived with his trailer, took me to Stanley, dismantled my clutch and diagnosced the problem as being a broken master cylinder seal...

...Dave has kept my bike and will get the necessary part(s) on Monday. Hopefully, nothing major to worry about

I've since spoken to G.C., who also had to retire from today's run and Robbo, Grizzly and Alte Wolf. Thanks for your concerns boys

What a cnt of a day

Ronno

I was so looking forward to today as well

Ronno,

Miserable day for you mate and G.C. also, hope the bit arrives soon and you get it sorted for next weekend.

Cant' believe the other GSing Kameraden rode on past

[Den]

I dont think it was me Ronno. I came up the A84 from Callander, past the road end but never seen anyone parked.
A good day was had by all ........ well, nearly all.

Naw Den, I know your bike and would have shoved a stick through your spokes had I seen you My bike was parked about 20 yards east of the T junction facing back towards Comrie. The bikes passed me coming from the Comrie direction and heading northwards. One of the GSs was in tandem with a sports bike and actually passed me twice!

I'm feeling less pissed off now and my mate has phoned to drag me out for a sesh

Ronno

P.S. Glad you had a good run though....hope to see you soon

MSG For Robbo

Robbo, Don't you remeber this from your bible classes...


THOU SHALT NOT SWEAR IN FRONT OF A MAN OF THE CLOTH



Ronno

P.S. Chuck's Username was a bit of a clue for me

 

[The Stimulator]

Good to see you again everyone, sorry I had to rush off, but had said to Jane I was just popping out for fish and chips - 426 miles and 11 hours later I arrived back home.

Hope everyone made it home safely - Ronno, sorry to hear about the bike, and glad to say it wasn't Shineyface and me that rode past you.

Ronno,

Glad your man has been able to diagnose the problem on your steed, hopefully you'll be back on the road soon.

As for swearing in the presence of God, or at least one of his contractors, you have to remember that my Sunday School/Bible Class days were spent in the depths of Dundee where cussin' was the norm and accepted, sorry Rev Chuck if I offended you in any way, I'll say ten hail Mary's and kiss the Rosary beads, oops wrong side of the ark

Great day as per usual food at the Lord of the Isles was very good and worth another visit, the landlord is very biker friendly and has done quite a bit of biking himself and has a Pan if I remember correctly.

No apology necessary Robbo - you behaved yourself as one would expect from someone from darkest Dundee.
I was worried about you last night Robbo, thought that the house wasn't tidied and that you were struggling to get away to the pc.

 

[Den]

Ronno, This is the view you would have got oot the windae of the hotel. You could have phoned the breakdown man from the phone box.
