I will PM my mobile

knowing our ability to get moving in the morning we might not have left the camp site by 12!!!!!!!!..........but hopefully that wont be the case because I start to get grumpy when there is too much faffing about when we should be riding.

the other complication is that we dont have a run mapped out yet, so if Kev or one of the locals wont have one I will have a go my self.

Happy with that. Especially if you know most of it too :thumbup:

You've avoided Matlock Bath and some have expressed an interest in joining us from there?

it is about 50 miles to Matlock, so would expect to be there about 1.30 after we leave coalville depending on how well the group flows and copes with the "2nd man Drop off" method.

I would try and get us moving from the pub by 10am, but that could be a lottery depending on how drunk some of you lot get :lol:

if there are enough of us it might be that we have to split into 2 groups, but we can ride the same route in opposite directions and try and avoid a head-on collision

still in bits!
one day i'll get round to picking up the spare casings off seb then i can build up the engine proper.
got a set of je's ready to go but theyre .5 over, no point going to the extent of fitting them to the current motor cos the gearbox has a fault and the casing is bodged from when the chain snapped.

spending that much on fuel on the sp atm that i doubt very much it will be done before theres salt on the road! :thumbdown:
i really do miss it though - as well as putting too many miles on the sp - 13k so far since may! 8O
