Timolgra's Fault: Trail ride weekend in North Wales, December 29/30th 2007.

[forry]

Yes that sounds like a plan to me
If we find on day two the motorway would be too much after the previous day we can always miss it out and still have a full on day from Dolgellau..............please god

But I agree it would be great to do it all in two days...just depends if the likes of Forry are up to it

Don't worry about me I'll be fine
Smoke breaks will be taken if and when I feel the need

 

[snoopy]

OOooh new hardcore tyres still sitting around unused..... I might bring The Beast.

But bollox am I changing the gearing. If I'm going to do it, I'm doing it unprepared (as usual!).

Well you can pull out of all the bogs yourself then ,remember to bring a new clutch aswell.

Don't bother turning up if you and your bike are not fully prepared.

 

[snoopy]

I'm not going to, can't afford to destroy it now.

Tim you wouldn't want to miss out on this much fun would you

 

[Desert Rat]

I'll be down on the DR350 might treat it to a new/second hand front tyre

I up for this. just need to sort out what time off I've got over Xmas.

EXE 400 (all the gear with some idea how to use it)

I've not got these but these Tuggers look great for helping with the backend lifting. http://www.thetugger.com/

It must be Christmas! Deep Joy!

My 'ex' (god bless!) has granted me a reprieve for the Sunday ride on the 30th!

Aready started sorting the bike for the event - will even bring t-bags for when Timpo boils the smoker!

Shame I can't do both days but you have to count your blessings.......

Cheers, Happy Rick.

 

[Hew]

Good news Rick,
We might be able to provide the smoke for these quitters if not the nicotine.

Is anyone up for a pre christmas warm up ride?
I'm on holiday from the 17th on

 

[forry]

Excited already only 4 weeks to go
I'm gona bite the bullet and fit a new set of BF Goodrich Crossengo's especially think I'll need all the grip I can get

Glad your coming Rick

Great news mate, but how did you bribe youe ex to let come on the easy motorwayday

 

[RickA]

Well Tim, you could allways swop the days over, would love to have another crack at 'The Bitch'!

Leave it up to you...........

ps Anyone up for a 'practice' run out on the next weekend (Dec 8th - 9th), or a ride on the "big bikes" perhaps, somewhere in North Wales? Tim, Timpo, Hew, Earthmover and others, any interest?

Cheers, Rick.

We wanted to do Bitch y Groes on the first day while we still have energy and enthusiasm, then the Motorway...(see, I'm not afraid to say it out loud now) when we're a bit jaded...so you can keep up

I'm just tinkering with the Rallye bike as Earthmover wants to go out this weekend for a gentle one on the big bikes but that won't be untill sunday if all goes well.

I'll see what's happening the following weekend

I'm sure that this is the spirit that has led Snoopy to write in the Gser of the year award thread "Timolgra: the way I want to grow old! Splendid chap. Really helpful."

I'm sure that others on this thread will agree with me in saying that when I grow old I want to be like Tim

To be serious that is one hell of a compliment and the real reason I highlighted it. (not a piss take , honest) A toast to you Tim

WADDYA MEAN, FECKING OLD

btw, I did take Snoop's remark as a compliment, but then he's young and naive

Glad you took it the right way

I think I might join you on Sunday the 30th only if that is OK, think the Sat ride may be a little beyong me ability/experience, plus the other half is wanting some of my time!

Great I'm sure Timpo will post RV locations and times in due course.....he's good at that sort of thing

I've just been rerouting the carburetor breathers in anticipation.
