Ah, bugger. Looks like a good meet, sorry I missed it. Oasis was having a good weekend though - she was shlepping across the continent for the annual pilgrimmage to Le Mans :)

Great pics everyone. I'd love to lead a ride through North Yorks if anyone is up for it. Could meet at the Humber Bridge (then lead you through Beverly, Malton, across the moors to Castleton, Guisbourough to Stokesley then back over the famous Bilsdale run back to Helmesley.

Could then either go to York (A19) and split or Thirsk (A1) and split from there.

Let me know

Yep, probably be up for that Dave - other commitments permitting. There are some stunning roads up that way - if you can arrange for the sun shine you might get F9 out too

(ducks for the incoming....)

Sounds good to me Davshill, if i'm not at work count me in.
Love the Stokesley to Helmsley road, but only done it the other way around.

Ok looks like there's a few people . I'm away on hols 1st week in May then helping my lad move to Brighton the next couple of weekends. It's likely to be June or July but I'll start a thread nearer the time.

cheers.

That's fine with me Dave, as I'm off on hols from 4th of May and won't be back until the 19th.
Will probably be gardening the following weekend!

good lord, its great to see some faces to names .... I now realise its true! Jeans rub hairs off the back of blokes legs.... and obv helmets do the same.... ;)

Couple of eye catchers there though.... I'm going to be extra nice to you hunks... see if you notice... Sam! you don't count because I love you already (even though you weren't there)

ahhhh bikers *hicc*

and I'm going to regret this in the morning lolol

..'tis true about the helmets - they also prevent sunlight reaching the head which makes the hair lose it's natural colour and turn grey. No, really - it's a scientifically proved fact - I'm SURE I read it somewhere

Falken · #43 Post by **Falken** » Mon Apr 27, 2009 6:10 pm

It's not that the helmets have rubbed the hair off, it's because we are not that old and havn't got all our hair yet.

Or that i'm 5'9" and my hair is 5'4"

Ligloo - we look even better in the flesh - I swear I am not that bald or grey. Trust me I look in the mirror every day and I just don't see it. The camera must have been faulty or the light was bad

D-Rider · #45 Post by **D-Rider** » Mon Apr 27, 2009 6:49 pm

Well I'm old, fat, ugly and balding ..... at least, that's what the mrs tells me.

Having a policy of avoiding cameras and mirrors I'll have to trust her judgement.

At least it's a good excuse that I should be involved in an activity where it is required that I wear a helmet.
