GRAINSTORM 2...May 9th 2015.
The Colchester Gang...
Colchester Gang...I have just had a look at the map & it is saying approx 1.30 hours to Grain...Obviously this is at the posted speed limits...
There were/are roadworks & speed limits on the A12, not 100% sure if they have finished the works yet but part of it was to install average speed cam's... You might want to consider the A130 route...A130 onto the A13 into Thurrock or onto the M25...
Doors open at mine at 08.00 hrs. Work due to start at 10.00...The grill is off at 09.30 unless you want to do it yourself...
Marty & the London Posse are planing at meeting at the services at Thurrock...http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic ... 14&t=36524

Meet at approx 09.00 leaving at 09.30...So liaise with them if you are planning to meet up on route so that they know to wait or not.
McD's Colch to Thurrock is about an hour...(Interestingly if you fancy walking give yourself 15 + hours... )
Anyway sort it out among yourselves re meets & times...

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Just looking at the numbers meeting in the south, this could be quite a loud group!
Leaving here 0800 so should arrive around 0930, looking forward to this.

Some hoodlums have been riding pit bikes in the local sand pits every weekend for years & the council have clamped down on noise after loads of complaints from all the NIMBY's.
As you come into the village you'll see a trumpet type thing on the fire station that's the noise meter doo dah thing.
Best keep it down to 2k revs max as you approach the village...
Sorry...

If a job is worth doing, its worth doing correctly.
