Tequilla is in hand.
What's one more wheel here or there Bobbi.

3 wheels = fun
4 wheels = sensible
I choose fun over sensible whenever possible!

Hell that sounds a bit serious Mart - best take their advice I think. I feel a bit guilty just rocking up with my tent when people are going to such a lot of trouble organising stuff.
It's really appreciated - see ya tomorrow.

Nooj - sorry to hear your problems - hope they get sorted and you can move on to better times.
Mart - that sounds nasty - hope that your health can be improved. At least the car is a good fall-back for the weekend.
I hope everyone has a good time. I'd hoped I might get there but sadly, I'm afraid I'm not going to make it. I'm very sorry - but then I guess most realised that it was not likely I'd be able to attend.
I look forward to the reports of the fun and games and the pictures of the Ridersite Car Club meeting

Just headed off. Bit damp overnight but bright if overcast and dry morning. Doesn't look a bad day ahead.
Irene's tail end shouldn't catch up with us till late Sunday. See y'all there.

Sam asks me to mention its the motocross championships next door. The track crosses the access track to the barn. Watch out for low flying motorbikes!! No... Really. Be cautious coming up the track

Just heard from gandalf - he has car trouble so is a doubtful attender
:(
I am hoping to be about from 1100 tomorrow - though I think I am planning on meeting blinky to show him the way in
If anyone else needs showing the way pm your mobile number and I will text to arrange where and when to 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...

Great w/e from where I was sitting. Thanks for all that were able to make it.
Absolute scorcher here atm but it certainly could have been worse at the w/e.
Much ale was drunk and garbage talked, as one would expect.

bummer dude I can relate very well to that one as mine is knackered too and if it is any consolation if that is the agnes hunt at Oswestry they are fekkin brilliant even the nurses work and give a toss unlike my local boneyard. I always ask for referrals there in preference
hope you are having fun all sorry couldn't make it
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

Yes thanks for all the effort Samray. It was great to meet everyone - I just missed Aladinsane I think we passed on his approach through the village. Hope you saw a few more people on Saturday and everyone arrived home safely.

Good to meet you Dave, and RandomSquid, always good to put new faces to names.
We heard the Blueflames and Renegades pass each other as you departed, probably about a mile distant.

Made it, thanks to the RAC's courtesy car, to which I didn't realise I was entitled.
Thank you, Sam, for your tremendously successful organisation of the weekend. Much appreciated. Especially the breakfasts.
Good to make your acquaintance at last, Dave - enjoyed your company.
Also great to catch up with Bobbi & John again - I suspect some fearsome new variations on the Tequila Jaffa Cake may be forthcoming from Wednesbury.
And also appreciated was the all-too-brief visit of the Buddha of The Broads; looks as if Pete may be in the market for some new leathers soon.

Safe home at last!
Had a great weekend, good campany and good cooking! Thanks to Sam for all the organisation and the meals!
In the end it was 50/50 2 wheels/4 wheels - but only cos Aladinsane popped in on the Saturday!
The place is so peaceful and relaxing the only time we went out over the weekend was when Mart and I were despatched to collect a chinese takeway! There's something about sitting outside a barn in the middle of nowhere at way past midnight, having a few drinks and talking a load of b..... with good friends (not forgetting searching for missing supernova!). Those who didn't get there missed a really good weekend!
