[marlbororman]

not long to go now AND IM ON A BLOODY WALKING STICK, BLOODY BIKE rode it 2 miles to depot at dinner time, and think ive trapped a nerve while up shifting gears . was only wearing shoes and not me boots. thats all i can put it down to. wot a laugh getting it home. 2 miles in 2nd should be ok for the meet. gunna rest it up and bus it to work for a few days so wont be using it to drive at all. the buses are autos so shoe off all day in the cab to breath lol. Will put me boots on from now on lol, lesson learnt.

[benny hedges]

oh dear... i think you need to trade that bike in lol, its cursed!!!
im sure you'll be ok for the 20th m8, nearly a mth off yet.

almost dropped mine tonight in a moment of stupidity.
when i parked it up in the garage id half run over my extension lead with the sidestand... i was stood at the garage door coiling it up and felt it had got snagged so gave it a good tug, only to see my bike tip to the left...
dont think ive moved so fast in ages lol!!

[marlbororman]

lol, well it feels better already mate, had it up on the stool since 830pm. wont be missing the meet mate thats a defo. not when ive got all the days booked off if i can make the last one with cracked ribs and make a ride out with a hangover from hell , to boot, then this is just a tickle lol

[benny hedges]

lol, well it feels better already mate, had it up on the stool since 830pm.

like my mother used to say.... better to have your foot on a stool than a stool on your foot.

[marlbororman]

hahahahahaha , Benny, wheres your lot meeting up for the ride down? might ride over and meet up with ya for a cheeky brew before hand

[benny hedges]

dunno tbh mate, rather than go through north wales, was planning heading down the a49 way, mid friday pm, head down toward hereford way & turn right onto the a44, then it's a cracking 40 mile run all the way to the site.

we should put together a north west pre meet thread to organise it a bit.
im sure theres someone else heading over from your way (sorry im sh1t with names lol)

[marlbororman]

think im only one north east and need to go across country anyway so could meet up with you and then whoever else.... just dont arange to meet in a mcdonalds this time oh that was my idea, bloody sat navs

[benny hedges]

other guy was Budd from west yorks area... then theres cheeky kev the manc and young adam on pillion, unless hes riding the sp2 and kevs on the storm!

im sure there was a few others.
i'll see if i can persuade goody to come as well - and seb

[marlbororman]

[benny hedges]

when i got back tonight and rolled over the driveway they looked pebbledashed with all the stones stuck to them!

[whitedoggy]

Looks like I won't be there. Trashed me bike while ogling scantilly clad nubile half naked in the sun. Just serviced it and new chain and sprockets too

[AMCQ46]

Thats a bugger, I hope she was worth the oggle

You OK? what damage to the bike?

[whitedoggy]

She was a jaw dropper. Fairing,screen,headlight and the tank has an imprint of my tackle. Support bracket for fairing twisted. Front mudguard and forks twisted but seem not to bent. My injuries are severely bruised tackle. severe bruising to my pride and a broken heart

[AMCQ46]

but did she come over to help you? after all that pain you could still have got her phone number
