Lost you all on way home, I ended up stuck in traffic baking in me leathers with the fan going in Blackwell tunnel.
.. anyway good to see in person your ugly mugs after so much communication on the best bike owners forum in the world.
Big thanks to all for not ripping the piss of my mauve paint job too much, and to mac for hosting, for the carb synch tutorial, take off parts and caliper.. and crispy bacon sarnies of course, and to Kermit for the hugger and for going to check out my storm in Hexham last year before I purchased.
Fingers crossed I get no letter from the A13 average speed cam near thrurrock..
See you next year or before if I still have a license!.

Thanks Mac and well done for another successful Grain Workshop day :clap: :clap: :clap: mIssed the maturity of Kev's beard though :lol:

Great day out Mac
Another well planned and executed workshop, even if I did keep my fingers away from anything that looked like work
I can even claim I got a bacon sarny this year. So no more moaning from me in the future.
Fantastic to catch up with some old friends and even better to have some new ones enter the fold. I might have to give my long distance crown to Kermit though, he came all the way down from Hexam, even if it was the day before on his Tounotastic bit of machinery

Plus I got to do an oil change on the 2 and fit a ti drain plug, so it was even lighter on the way home.
Good to meet all the new owners, :wave: so now you know we aren't too scary or scarry I look forward to seeing some of you on this year's meetups.
Thanks for hosting, Mac, and the oil disposal.

Great turnout. Nice one on a well hosted grainstorm again. Things like that keep the storm circle alive

Just on a coincidental note Mac, I do know the original owner of you Smokin Joe! I messaged him yesterday and he replied today after he dug out some old paperwork. Jonesey will know him too, Rod Chapman..
