Great day. Thanks very much Jamie, very well organised fella. Sorry about the stainage! :oops:
Thanks to your Mum & your Sis mate, lovely folk. Post up your sisters virgin giving site when you get a chance. :thumbup:
Thanks also to Lloydie for my 'special' gift! No sand in the lube.... The flywheel has made a notable difference to the pickup. Interesting and it will be explored further.
Nice to put faces to names, and to meet up with some old faces again...Mac, Duffy & Fireball (very old!!!!!)
Thanks again people, great forum, great day.

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

So where the rest of us. :biggrin

No CCT's done today 8O a bit of carb tinkering, braided clutch line, a couple of lightened flywheels I think, defo one! a bit of electrickery work and I think that's about it. A bit of banter, good company, good food and refreshments.

It was good to see Mr Mon have some time to tinker with his own bike for once. Not the norm on workshop days.

Great day! Big Thanks to Jamie and his mum for hosting us :D

Excellent turn out (and I do mean the number of bikes) Great to see some old faces again and put some new ones to names too.

Don't worry Virt. I managed a little over 400 miles today so my a$$ feels like you were at the moment :biggrin

Yes that was a great day. Of course it got off to a bad start with the rain but It wasn't too bad, then the ''Does any one know where were going ?'' on leaving the meet up point... :lol: I did but no one asked me...

Calamity of the day goes to Kev & the Exxon Valblue... :lol: :lol:

Image

Kudos to Lloydie, Al & Chris for making the effort to come down from The Mudlands...espc Lloydie on the snot rocket...All this time he's been pretending it was a Storm now we know the truth... :lol: :lol:


Image

As Kev said good to meet some new faces as well as seeing the very old ones, Kev, again...

I have to say I was a bit disappointed that Bananaman wasn't dressed in all Yellow but hey ho...

Big thumbs up to Steve for manning the kettle & bar-b-q...sterling work Sir we forgive you for having 4 cylinders...

The Jehovah's didn't turn up but I think Marty has pulled one of the neighbours...she was about 90 & blind but he gave it his best shot...

A good day Cheers Jamie... :thumbup:
