Guys,

You can pencil me and RaceTruck in for Tuesday at the moment. Needless to say, if the precipitation remains at current levels, I will most likely wimp out.

Andrew, are you bringing the HP2 again and do I need to sign my life away to get a spin on it? Pretty please?

 

[Jockser]

Errm, are we still going out on bikes on tuesday or are you two gonna be getting all glassy eye'd and hugging each other and going 'when I was a lad' etc etc ?

We're still going out on the bikes But, as Warlock says 'precipitation permitting'

Right, listen up you lot

The first meeting place is Old Bawn (as usual) in time to leave for 18.00.

The second meeting is in The Blue Gardenia in Brittas (as last time) in time to leave for 18.30.

And the weather looks like it might just hold up

 

[AR14]

See you at Old Bawn.

 

[TheWarlock]

And the weather looks like it might just hold up

When you say Ireland, you do mean that little island off the cost of mainland Europe don't you?

Although I would have to agree with the weather holding up if you mean continue raining.

 

[gchamp]

And the weather looks like it might just hold up

You just had to say it didn't you

anyway i'm not going to let a little rain keep me away

See you at old Bawn at 6pm

 

[Jockser]

You just had to say it didn't you

Yeah, sorry about that But as Warlock says, it is holding up - it's still raining But it does appear to be clearing a bit and sure it's only water

 

[w00kie]

Sorry Lads. Somethings come up and I can't make tonight.

Enjoy the run anyway.

 

[Padge]

Trying to attach this to the TourX at the moment.
See y'all at 6 bells..

[Dakar Gal]

Thanks to all for a great spin last night. Really enjoyed it!

Really looking forward to Achill now!

 

[TheWarlock]

Guys,

A huge thanks to Jockser, Padge, AR14 for making it look easy and everyone else who showed up and had to wait for me to finish the first green lane (mud lane more like). Special thanks to Gchamp for helping me pick up the GSA (I think I'd still be up there otherwise) and then baby-sitting me for the rest of the track. Also special thanks to RaceTruck for dropping it more than me and making me feel better .

Great evening. You just know you are among really nice guys when you are approaching the water and they are all gathered around to watch with the cameras out for when you fall in. Sorry to disappoint. Maybe next time.

See you all next time. Now where did I put that gym membership card?

 

[Jockser]

This morning I have battle scars on both me and the bike
pains where i did not know i could have pains

At least you gave (most) of it a go

where do i get lessons to do this properly

Dunno if there's still places left but the booking link is still working. Click on 'Events 2007' & then 'Off-road Skills' - http://www.bmw-motorrad.ie/

Enjoyable wee spin with not a drop of rain, despite the doomsayers . Thanks to Dermott for more lanes & tracks . Welcome to all the newbies - Dakar Gal, The Warlock, Racetruck & Flash's mate Aidan - and well done all of youse

Hoping to have a few pics shortly

Racetruck gettin' into a spot of bother. In fairness he held it upright until I could get to him :

Gotta go out again. The pics of the water splash will have to wait until later

Racetruck gettin' into a spot of bother. In fairness he held it upright until I could get to him :

Glad to see your priorities are clear. (1) Take one or more pictures. (2) Help pick up the bike.

 

[Snaggle]

Definitely - gym membership required for Warlock & Racetruck - would have thought their upper arms were strong enough - but obviously not!!
Looks like great craic though - boys and their toys!!!
