Weather permitting, I will be going along with irishness.
We are setting off around nine.
A few stops should be there for 11.30.
Tolerance will be our undoing.

Just arrived home from hols.

If the weather is OK tomorrow and nobody has nicked the bike from my garage while I've been away, I may well get over there myself.

That's the weather tucked then - Noah and multiple falcons....


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...

I have decided to leave this one and stay at home.
Need to get phils falco done so he can collect.
I really need to make some room in the garage.

Weather was great thanks.

Good to meet the squid of randomness again and squadron nero for the first time (plus a few others) - oh and Nooj who I've not seen for several years.

Brilliant to meet Scottyni after so many years of of forum chat - a major journey for you and your other half from N.I. !

I understand that Keith left before I got there - so still not seen the BM.
I also hear that Mart left before I turned up ... something about his colostomy bag getting a bit full

Excellent 'do' by Griiff and the various elves from AP

Twas a good day. Nice to meet Martin, Andy, Keith, Nooj and Darren. And good to see John and Brian again. Brian and I had a good ride home despite the lack of corners on the A5. We picked up a mille for the most part too. Not too sure who he was as it's hard to hear over 3 v-twins while stopped briefly in traffic.

First time I've been to Griff's. Won't be the last.

I'll post a few pics tomorrow.

Sorry I missed you Andy and a couple of the others mentioned but I had stuff to do back home while it was still warm. The BM attracted a fair bit of attention and performed really well on the journey. It wasn't ridiculously uncomfortable and I took a long route home. Mind you a couple of hours riding is about all my forearms can take. It was a very good turn out for a great day and I was able to catch up with a few familiar faces.
