Don't worry Pete - the main meeting is on 16th May
This is a bit of a pre-amble for a few that can make it.
Once Sunday's run is out of the way, we'll start advertising the 16th May properly.

Yes Andy is right Pete. We said we'd go tomorrow just cos we're fairly close. main get together will be 16th May.

Ken/Howard - still hoping to be there but Jules has rushed off to hospital -her father had a stroke last night so not sure how things are going to pan out tomorrow.

If things have settled down I'll be there but don't hang around for me after 12noon.

Thanks for letting us know Dave.
Hope everything is OK with Jules' dad.
Don't worry about Newark mate, there are more important things, just make sure Jules and her dad are OK.

Another great day, and nice to meet some new faces, and some of the ones i've met before.

Great rideout again Howard, lets hope we've set a trend with this type of weather for future meets.

Another great day, (got sun burnt again like last year). nice to see some old and new faces. Didn't expect too many to go, but seven Falcos and a Gixxer 1000 wasn't a bad turnout.

Ready for the off -

Newark Barge April 2010.

Only just noticed the dog on this one !!!!!

And the special award goes to FlyingKiwi who had by far the longest trip.

an impressive array of lean angles and stands there.
next time, get them all in a line maybe and take a pic, then label it with spring, swingarm and sidestand fitted.

it'd be like a sweetshop of mods for newbies to choose from!

Nice to see you all.

Seven Falcos and no two anything alike. Definitely a big high five to the FlyingKiwi, now that's what I call a trip to the Cafe.

Not sure about him having the "fastest colour" though, Michalis the GSXR1000 owner is maybe thinking he should have bought a BLACK Falco when he had the chance.....

HowardQ · #27 Post by **HowardQ** » Sun Apr 18, 2010 8:45 pm

Hate to say this, but Michalis probably had the fastest colour(s) today.

Then again we were only talking Falcos.

Glad you had a good day - certainly had the weather for it.

Good to know that when every plane in the country is grounded, the Falcos are still flying

Shame I couldn't make it but we had a good birthday celebration for my sons who had their birthday yesterday.
Now looking forward to the meet-up at the barge on 16th May.
