GRAINSTORM 2...May 9th 2015.
Re: GRAINSTORM 2...May 9th 2015.
Thanks every one for turning up, it turned it less of a workshop day & more of a workless day...but still a good hoot.
Big thanks to Michaela for sterling work in the kitchen extending the 09.30 am bacon sarnie curfew, which cheered Marty up no end...
Check your oil Bananaman!

Looks like I missed the party! I arrived at P******l Rd about 17:15, didn't see any bikes and couldn't remember which house was Mac's - there was a Tranny Connect van (Royal Borough of Greenwich?) which I thought might be Macs but not sure enough to leave the Abba stand outside the house - so I drove an hour each way for nowt - doh!
Mac, I'll revisit during the week, what house number is it?

We had Banjo music & even had an Alter boy on hand...

Cheers Mac, good day out, just a bit worried about getting flashed by a camera coming into the Dartford tunnel on the way back following Marty (ironically, had I been going fast enough to keep up with him I would have been fine- he knows where they all are. But as I'd fallen behind I was trying to catch up & remembered a bit too late. Think it may have got me doing 45ish in a 30. Damn! / fingers crossed.
Re: GRAINSTORM 2...May 9th 2015.
Well done that Mac, the man makes a decent bacon sarnie
Also thanks to Duffy for the HP sauce.
There must be half a shop's worth of biscuits and chocolate, are they the Grain equivalent of Wurther's, Mac?
Oh, and Bazza; I've got about ten or a dozen sets of CCT's for you- don't really want them weighing down the rucksack up to Yorkshire so I think I'll drop them off to your house Friday morning and we can go from there.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Mac, just a tip, don't eat all the chocolate, it'll be useful for making some sets of alternator cover caps for Ebay.
Even though it didn't rain, I provided Puddles.
Cadbury's ones, as it turned out.
(no, the toilet floor ones weren't, me, I pissed in a corner of the garage when no-one was looking).
Clue: don't reuse the coolant in the lemonade bottle)

Re: GRAINSTORM 2...May 9th 2015.
I was made aware of a coolant leak on my bike...
I had a great tear up with a M3 on the way home, he was driving like a mad man, he still couldn't keep up...
mike was flashed on the way into the limehouse link tunnel, the same place carl got done in a few years ago....
another thanks to mac for the parts I purchased and was given for free....
oh and I should never lead a group.....
it was worth booking my flights so I could make it.......

HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!
Re: GRAINSTORM 2...May 9th 2015.
That camera is evil. Your typical revenue maker that one. Sneakily placed right after the speed limit is reduced by 10mph in a dark tunnel so not clearly seen (especially when it's raining and visor and specs are wet ) and on a slight bend with no obvious road safety reasons for it being there. Barstards....
Good to hear the day went OK for you all. Is it my imagination or does YMV look like a girl.
