[Virt]

So.. just been house shopping.

Yeah.. just paid my security deposit and there is no way I can make this. Absolutely gutted but sh1t happens and having somewhere to live is ever so slightly more important than a good weekend.

Have a good time everyone

Lol good luck with that. I can just see them all waking up and getting out on the road for that time....

[Jamoi]

Better bring me alarm clock then.

Really can't wait now, thanks for all your organising efforts Kev and team leaders.

Should be quite a turnout

hi guys as some of my know I’ve been testing/trying out back protectors of late and selling some of the spare ones on the forum, I've sold a few in the last few weeks and everyone seems happy with their purchases, I’m bringing a Dainese HPC back protector down for grumpyfrog, I’ll also be bringing with me a brand new Knox Aegis 8 plate protector and a nearly new (worn once) Knox Contour both are CE level 2 and both will be for sale, I’m looking for £50 for the Aegis ( that’s 1/2 price and it is brand new unworn) and £30 for the Contour (1/3 retail), as I said both are for sale but pleased note I’ll be wearing one or the other on the Sat ride out, so one will only be available from Sunday.

so if anyone coming down to Wales needs or is thinking of buying back protector bring some extra cash and buy one of mine,

Also I have a set of Tex-sport 1 piece leathers unfortunately they are Ducati branded and a bit on the small side, probably 38/40 chest so maybe not suitable for the VTR set but I’ll bring them anyway maybe they’d suit someones girl friend or younger sibling.

Looking for forward to a good do this weekend

Flatty - are you taking a kettle, will we have electric in the palace?

Will anyone else be bringing a camping stove or anything?

I will have the same kit I brought to Scotland, so single gas stove, kettle and small pots........... McQueen the boy scout

weather is looking good although its not clear blue skys and wall to wall sun, there will be no rain, so we should be up for a fun time.

my plan for the progressive ride will be to do the biggest version of the ride, which is 280miles, but we can decide at the lunch stop if we want to shorten it slightly by cutting off the top loop into Snowdonia.

the start point will be the Halt Petrol station / diner which is point B on this map http://goo.gl/maps/8yMxy, 4 miles south of the town on the B470 towards Builth Wells.
and we will fill up with fuel here and leave at 10am. As all the firestorms have only a 100 mile range, I need to have you all on the same fuel stop strategy as me, so we all brim our tanks here.
I will leave the campsite a bit after 9am so I can get breakfast there

Dry weather, great roads, shorten the route?

No, no, no.....

Yeh, I was liking the long route too!

I'll probably have one of these off you budd, been meaning to buy one for ages
