[lumpyv]

yeah i wish he,d give a bit of warning.

(Reporter):
Hello, everyone, this is your action news reporter with all the news
that is news across the nation, on the scene at the supermarket. There
seems to have been some disturbance here. Pardon me, sir, did you see
what happened?

(Witness):
Yeah, I did. I's standin' overe there by the tomaters, and here he
come, running through the pole beans, through the fruits and vegetables,
nekkid as a jay bird. And I hollered over t' Ethel, I said, "Don't
look, Ethel!" But it's too late, she'd already been incensed.

(Chorus)
Here he comes, Boogity, Boogity
There he goes, Boogity, Boogity
And he ain't wearin' no clothes

Mate you are showing your age there!!!!!

Mac I chose to park my bike away from the others, didn't want any of the other colours cooties jumping onto my baby.
I have also instructed solicitors as I suffered bloody sunburn to my neck and I didn't receive any warning of the risk of such incident from the organiser and proprietor.
And I must say you were very nasty to the God squad, you may find you are under a curse from the Big Man (no not BSM you berk!). I think the curse is already working, look at the colour of your bike!!

Mate I suffered bloody sunburn to my neck

That was gritblasting from the wind.

I got something in my eye, turned out in the end it was my finger, poking out bits of Grain.

Didn't rain all day, though, so major result.

As I'd been working in my garage all week on Masterdave's bike, my rugby shirt had become a little soiled.
I chose to wear it to the ws day anyway, partly as a badge of honour, and partly because I couldn't be bothered putting on a nice clean fresh one then getting greasy and oily all day anyway.
Imagine my surprise when I caught someone (who can for the purposes of this report remain nameless) using it to clean their bike?

Actually, the best bit was the long drawn out pause while he waited for me to say "only joking", but then realised that I wasn't........a gift without price, those opportunities on't come along very often.
Even got offered a new top as a replacement, but it would only get oily and greasy anyway, like pretty much all of the other clothes I wear....actually I might even start cleaning my own bike by just rubbing my clothing on it- but upon consideration this may be misconstrued by onlookers.

[Kev L]

At least your clothing now matches your bike old chap!!!!

Kev, the judge will just laugh you out of court. When we show him transcripts from this here forum regarding the expertly performed anti rain dance by your good self. We the defence may in fact request a live performance in the court room.

I felt I handled the god squad quite fairly TBH. I simply pointed out that I didn't believe in god, I worship the Storm & this is my church. Then Tony raised the question of recycled paper & pointed out that trees were gods work to, Mr god squad then started to argue that he couldn't not believe in god & then say trees are gods work too.I then pointed out that Tony hadn't said he didn't believe in god that was me. At this point I walked away as I was laughing too much to get the words ''Feck off, your trespassing, get orff my land!'' out.

It was funny though.

Bit like your sunburn, must have made the journey home quicker,adding that little bit of Red to you.

Great day Mac, many thanks for the hospitality.

BTW, that yellow bike isn't mine, it's the right yellow though. I think that was, oh gawd, ummm, names have gone again! Thingy! It was thingy's!

My flying banana was delayed in Essex waiting for those red ones from Witham

[Kev L]

It belongs to Fireball XL5 I believe.

[tankslappa]

That's the chappy (I think). His bike avoided the spanners, but he got straight into it by helping me with my CCTs. Ripped the tank off before I could even say "Hang on, let me get y lid off and stop the engine first!".

[Kev L]

Here you go then, wear them with pride -



Thanks again Mac

Mac XXX's

[Kev L]

You know Mac I thought those would be the comments as I was sticking them on but they do look very nice on the screen.

[tankslappa]

Looks good there Marty, only one problem... That's where the pineapple was supposed to go!

Top day Mac, and great to meet so many fellow stormers, and put faces to names,

Cheers for all your help guys, you certainly know your stuff.

I now have nicley balanced carbs, a partly set up scottoiler ( need to get fitting kit), clean brake and clutch fluid and spot on front brakes now.

Sorry I missed the ride back with you all, but needed to get to the New Forest for pre booked meal.

Stickers were a nice touch too Mac

Hope to meet up with you all soon, as ride down was like rolling thunder with so many loud pipes

Can't wait till the next one
