I got bloody soaked riding back. It was lovely and sunny all day and then when I left it pissed down. And I got double flashed by a camera in linmhouse link I will have to wait and see if anything comes through the post now.

Crap, I hope it was out of film.

Thanks to Jay for hosting the day and for coffee ect

Don't worry Carl your not the only one who got bloody soaked on the way home, did'nt help with all the 4 wheeled numptys thinking its fun to drive through all the flooded roads instead of round the flooding
Hope the camera was switched off and just flashed to scare the sh1t out of you good luck


PS What happened to all the fair weather mob ???

Cheers for the Coffee and Grub Jay, top man

Hope you get away with the camera Carl, I had a nice dry ride back via Tony Mons.

Was good to see a few of us turned up shame tod never made it

Storming, thanks for going to the effort of hosting, shame it turned into more of just a baldrocks talking day than a workshop day...

At least we covered a lot of topics...from bed bugs to Reliant's, tyre dump fires to stargazing & a few odd topics in between.

Just to let Carl & Fireball know it stayed dry on the way home for me, although the sky did look a bit black in me mirrors....

Funnily enough I saw a Yellow Robin Reliant in the queue for the tunnel as I came through the tolls, it was a bit beat up & it was on a trailer however.

Bummer re the double snap Carl, don't loose any sleep over it, I got snapped in the same tunnel over a year ago now in the works van & never got the dreaded plop on the mat.

Mac.

i got flashed twice by the same camera in the middle of that tunnel, going west, it was about 2 months ago and i ain't heard anything yet, also a group of my friends got flashed by the same camera last month, fingers crossed its still on the blink mate...
p.s its 35 degrees today and rather sunny.....SCORCHIO!!!!!!!!!!!!

I call this one ''TBDC'' ( Talking baldrocks Drinking Coffee )


A ''Thump'' of Storms glistening in the Purfleet sunshine, notice that the Teal one & the Harley are hiding at the back...

Now normally at this point we would expect to see a colour wars comment saying that there were more Yellows, Red's or Blacks however due to the two Yella's being compleatly different colours I think it's an honourable 1 all draw across the hue's range of those that turned up. Distinct lack of blue must be mentioned.


See there's Yellow & then there's Yellow.....

Black won the day with 1.5 Why is it that when there's a bit of rain all the drivers drive like knobs. Traffic was horrendous all the way back down the riverbank, It turned out to be a big accident just before Battersea bridge. I got back through my door just in time cause then there was a thunderstorm and flash floods

I wont be holding my breath on a speeding ticket, I wasn't even speeding by much, all I was doing was an overtake into the other lane and went slightly over. But with my visor and clocks covered in rain, the speedo was not so clear. I couldn't have been doing much more than 40, which is what I thought was the limit in there, but it's must be 30. Doh Bikes runs good now with the needles moved 1 clip in me carbs. No more coughs.

Thanks Jay it was a good effort. Hope the food didn't go to waste. Cocktail sausages for your dinner tonight.

Ah well, I worked today as I'd had a day off earlier in the week for an interview, and I'm off all next week in Belgium. So I need to earn every day i can.

Hope the bollox talked was of decent quality, e.g what exactly is a kitten's caboodle?

British weather eeh? glad you had a good day even with reduced numbers. as i mentioned earlier i had to work and by chance i was at felixstowe at lunch time. there was an eastern region national custom car club meet on the seafront. i felt dead sorry for all of them, about 250 custom cars with the rain coming down like monsoon season!!

Don't think there's another one on the go as yet. There have been three down South and one in the Midlands this year so far, must be due a Northern version soon to compare whippets and caps!!!!
