Not sure they deal with bear abuse? perhaps should have called the RSPCA!

With you it would be anti social services. Or a locksmith...

Nice photos as well Nick, but you seem to have had the settings wrong on the one with me in. Made me look older than Jay.

More importantly do you think BikerGran would approve of the new wheels that were on display ... Even had a built in carrier
Just have to see if Theodore will lend them to me sometime!
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

It was good to see some new faces as well as the usual suspects from the ridersite massive.
You all contributed to making this weekend very special.
The weekend was unusually quiet without pepe le pew around though???

Thanks to Martyn walker who led the ride out. Your choice of route made the weekend extra memorable.
Elan valley must be very close to the garden of eden with its fantastic scenery.
And thanks to Nickynoto for a night to remember... :smt008

I am so glad it went well - we wished we could have been there, but we could not make it :(

Our only planned jaunt is to the mid year meet.....


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...

Many thanks to all who came and contributed to making this yet another very enjoyable Marches Meet; and thanks, too, for helping out in various ways - rubbish clearing, fetching water, etc etc

Special thanks to Ken for once again being BBQmeister.

Congratulations to Nick for hanging on to his breakfast :smt002

Those of you who couldn't make it - you were missed!

I've booked the campsite for next year's Marches Meet. Same weekend, i.e. the weekend before Spring Bank Holiday; dates are 15th. - 17th. May 2015

Of course I approve - it's even the right colour! :smt004

Glad you all had a great time, so did I but mine was very different, being sensible at a family do that didn't involve any red wine.....

Looks like it was a brilliant weekend. Sorry I had to miss it. Looking forward to hooking for the Sunday breakfast at Blinkey's meet in a couple of weeks.

You were missed.

But John drank your share of the cider, so that was ok. And he didn't fall into anything, either.

Looking forward to seeing the new bike. Hope you make it to Jay's do.
