Feck. i can't go either, i will be in Tunbridge Wells all week until Sunday with Work. I am on a FTA Managers Training scenario etc and wont get home till about 1630 Sunday. I may be able to go on the bike though and stay up there. Bit cheesed off though tbh. It was that or Macclesfield for Engine and Chassis Design. Work is cheesing me off at the moment as we are so busy.

I still need 4 x Fitters in 2 Workshops. Nobody seems to want to work on Dustcarts :x

My new ride is a bit of a Howler and I love to make her Squeal

Don't like you now, I only went slow near the end because of having a two wheel aquaplane on a sweeping bend at 70mph.

More like this one but from Portreath across to Callington I don't know at all, could be a mystery tour where we get lost a lot :lol: also has about 25 miles of the A38 boring !. I'll have a look later and check some mileages, see if I can come up with something.

Gotchya! :D
Didn't mean it sweatie. Only teasing.
We all could have done with a motorboat instead of a motorbike that morning :eek2
Lets pray for another dry devon :thumbup:

Not slow at all from what I've seen. Loads of torque and take off pretty well from what I saw when following Bazza in the dry before he got shitted up by floating his boat er bike. :P
Still we all made it in one piece which is the important thing and loads of fun along the way :cool2

Pete I am disappointed in you............ rule 1 of digging yourself a hole............ when you realise that you are digging a hole, don't stop, dig harder.......... only Girls [and blue bike owners] back down and try and repair the damage. :lol: :lol:

oh, hold on, you now have a blue bike... it all makes sense now

Right, enough man love, back to business.

Who's staying over Sunday night, and heading home after the alcohol wears off Monday?
Or does anyone have to be at work Monday morning?

I'm just thinking of the logistics for the ride back afterwards.

I'll be staying over, heading back Monday- it'll have stopped raining by then, probably.

If you're offering!

If I put the sleeping bag over my head it'll muffle the snores.
