Quiet . .

It's quiet - too damned quiet. Send out a scouting party.

I wonder where everybody's gone?
It flies sideways through time
It's an electric line
To your zodiac sign
I've got a Black and Silver Machine!

It wasn't his snoring that was the problem, it was every time he turned over it sounded like he was sanding the wooden floor!

But still, a good time was had by all - well it was by me anyway!

Good to see some old familiar faces and meet some new ones - though some on the list must have been invisible!

Anyway, now I'm here in Seaford with my mate Fazer after a long ride, had a cuppa tea and waiting for the chili to cook! Left out one of the landmarks - the Essex one - cos it seemed like too much of a detour when I was really tired from all the buffeting I got on the A12. And the sun came out as I was eiding down through Ashdown Forest and made me smile!

Well Kwackerz gets my vote for the best sleeper! Even when we were all up and about and making noise he just opened one eye then turned over and went back to sleep!

I bet sleeping in Kandahar Airport does that for you ...

I took my tent so the barn-dwellers will never know.
Certainly, I never heard myself .... so as long as Keith doesn't post up, I might get away blame-free.

Well I'll post but since we are all human and prone to make various noises from a number of places, it will only be to thank our hosts for their hospitality.

Nice meeting you all and I had a great week end finished off by a pleasant ride home.

And Andy just pitch your tent a little farther away next time. :smt002

Bits tend to drop off and might land on your head. :smt003

was a blast, and nice to meet you folks :)


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...
