Alright to bring one of my bro's down Jamie? he his wanting to start on the road of motorbike and I'd like to give him a good insight into what you can get yourself in for

Of course dude

(Nothing quite like a baptism of fire)

[Ckennedy]

what better way to get him started, a trip to yours for a workshop/hang around day and then stay over at Lloyds with some of his mates and then off to a bike charity event

Bloody hell man learn to read a map !

Just head in the general direction & then follow the smell of bacon sandwiches & general B/S i.e. someone saying blue is fastest...

It's fairly easy to find, just head towards Colchester and there's only a couple of important turns to make.

You can always ring me if you get lost

Just make sure there are no massive trees blocking the roads this time

Oh yeah! Luckily there's no trees obstructing the roads, but there's still plenty of oap's to dodge

[robbie 131]

Tsk the yoth of today & their bloody technocrapology...

So with sat nav working you get to where your going by following the given instructions.

Without it you cant even read a bloody road sign...

Box hill to Sarfend at some point you have to cross the Thames, to get to Gillingham you'd of had to ride past Dartford...& the Dartford Crossing...Through the tunnel turn right follow the wiff of cockles & winkles (& that's just the women not the seafood...) & you at Sarf-end-on-Sea.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy me old china.

Argh Mac you crack me up. I got to admit when I read Garmin broke, I thought what about a map. Or just follow road signs. If one has a sense of direction it's impossible to get lost or veer off course too far, We're only a little island.

I shall re-phrase it for you robbie

is anyone swinging by milton keynes way or any where within 20 odd miles, that i could possibly meet up with for company along the way. It would be good if we could organise pickup points along the way and have a group ride down.

Nice to see some interest from newer members and it will be great to meet up and put faces to names. Can I ask that anyone that is coming along with intention of doing any work to their bike list what it is they intend on doing please.
