meeting

could we meet up this weekend??

 

[Pauly S]

bit busy for me this weekend

i was wondering if any of you dudes fancied have a chin wag at the curry night coming up, me and dave deffo there.
we could go to the plough @eynsford one evening and thrash it out.
it needs to be soon, so as to book a ferry or two.
I could always take the laptop to the pub and we could book the ferries online, anyone got any discount codes?
keep you posted.

Italy

Hi Guys,
I did a solo ride down to Italy last year and stayed at a place near Lucca which is in Tuscany.The very helpful tourist information place in Lucca has printed a motorcycle guide listing great biking routes around Tuscany, giving distances, estimated ride times and places to eat/stay.
Distances vary from 46km to140km
If you are interested, someone send me a PM with an address I will get a copy done and post it.(Its in Italian but the map is easy to follow)
Have a great trip.

 

[Pauly S]

Thanks Gman

could you scan it and email for it for us please?
many thanks Paul

ps guys email sent.

 

[Pauly S]

its all pc

i now have the charging lead for the pc, so if Gs or bust can find his euro sim card were laughing.

 

[Pauly S]

well its like this

i'm nowhere near packed, routes made for a visit to verdun on the way to strasbourg, should be around 800 clicks on the first day.
Were leaving at 5am so we'll have a good head start on the day and a nice hotel waiting for us at the other end.
Davegs has acheived a milestone and learned how to text on a mobile phone,well done Dave.
Garth is up to his ears in wires and fuses,wobbo is busy cable tieing his luggage on,Cookie is nearly packed,Nigel is multi storying his luggage and fitting little red lights on top,to ward off airplanes.
Me and dave gs, well were just chilling and getting ready for the kick off.
I think most people have got the mandatory hawaiian shirts for the rome raid..
Nigel and Garth unconfirmed shirt holders at this time.
Dave and i are hoping Mr Steptoe can post our head guards out in time for fitting before we leave.
It should be good, watch this space.Pauly.
ps kin ell 6 days to blast off.
