GrainStorm X

Post by MacV2 »

MAY 17th 2025.

Yes time to start saving for the bacon. Due to ongoing financial constraints at my end, It's BYOB (Bring Your Own Bacon)

I will get some bread in & tea & coffee is on me, except the decaf shite Tony BYO!


So Saturday May 17th is the day to be in Grain in 2025 for the Tenth Edition of the award wining * workshopday.

* Forum awards winner...

2021's Partners in Grime... Frank... 38% of 13 votes

2018 Most Helpful Member. & the winner is. It's only bloody Frank !

2018's bestest multiple Storm owner over 7 Storms. That'll be me...

2019 Best weekend away with your Storming Chums. Another close vote & another draw...& the winner's are... The organisers of GrainStorm 2019 & OP Storm NI Take a bow.

As per normal my tools will be available for use, plenty of rags & fluids on hand...

Any work is down to you but normally someone will be on hand to give advice, help, point out what your doing right or wrong, take the pish or generally get in the way.

Come on down...

Well as Storm meets go GrainStorm X no qualifies for the Lowest number of attendees. Me, Tony & Duffy. Frank doesn't really count as he's fictional...

Bacon consumed, Tea & coffee, a few Jaffa cakes, One sale of some tools, one give away of a tin of chain lube, One rear tyre pressure checked & adjusted, one Storm worked on diagnosed as probably the Spark pack has an issue.

Duffy wanted to get away in time to see Crystal Palace get thrashed by Man City, Tony wanted to do a ride out but I didn't/couldn't be bothered...

Hmmm I still host one next year just for the crack...

Thanks for hosting again Mac, shame it was a low turnout, it will be better at Wembley though. ImageImageImageImage

And the rugby shirt remained on. So no bikes were cleaned.
Thanks for the 🥪 Mac!
Hope the sale goes through, Duffy, it's a fair price.

See you both at the usual Clacketts meet spot for the Devon Southern softies ride down?
