Shire Horse 05/02/08

[Stig]

So who will be making the trip to the Shire on Tuesday :?:

I should be there. I have physio on Monday where I get my first post op examination of the finger. I have already got the dressings down to just a plaster covering the wound and tried on several pairs of gloves last night to see if I could get them on. I could, so the next test will be to see if I can actually ride. That test will be when I pick my bike up from work after the hospital visit.

There is also the possibility of a visit from Plowsie (Stu). Famous for his ritual of riding his own bike over his own foot each time he gets a new bike. :lol: Way to go.

There is also the obligatory Nick numbers option.

[Sid Squid]

[ASM-Forever]

[stevehaskew]

After a January hiatus, I hope to be back!

[plowsie]

Looking good for this one still :)

Can I vote for 3 options please :D

[ogden]

I'm in.

But only if the pedant brings me his eels DVD. :p

No can do, I'm afraid. Geneva's cancelled but I'm off to York tomorrow instead.

Bah.

[StreetHawk]

Possibly :-)

[fat_brstd]

more likely than not, whilst i havnt had any electrical problems since the last meet i have only dont about 30 miles total so im still not sure its fixed.

[flibble]

probably, yes maybe... but it's gonna be pouring with rain :(

[ASM-Forever]

Geneva.....York

Swings and roundabouts then. ;)

[FG1]

I might make an effort as it's not that far from Heathrow. Nick, I'll take the bracket if I go so you can see if it fits.

[sv650nutter149]

yeah ill probably make it......on the sv not the gsxr as it keeps blowing bulbs.... and idont wanna wheelie lol....(just put 14 front and 52 rear sprockets on )

[Sosha]

Nick666 option :(

[Stig]

Nick666 option :(

I believe you are now in possession of proper waterproof gear. No excuse about the weather then.

[ASM-Forever]

Come on all you maybe's.....make an effort. :)

Nick18 come along....you can ride your bike! Its only meant to be really light rain at 6-7 and then clear from then onwards.

Also why no post from Warthog? Phil drag him along!

[FG1]

What sort of time do you all stay till. It's just that a couple of things have come up so not sure what time I can get there now. Still going to try though.

I think the latest we have stayed to is about 11pm. We are all lightweights!

[plowsie]

Those who are maybe's, get there if you worried about weather. i may even get a round in...of cokes that is ;)

[ogden]

On-call this week, so no two-wheeled jollies for me.

[ogden]

Bum. Wrong thread.

[DanAbnormal]

I would have liked to come but i'm now of work with a chest infection. Nice.

Still, I get to surf all day thinking about my next bike........:p

Your pushing it a bit there! :smt064

[Sosha]

In possesion of 9 working fingers?

No excuse then.....

[flibble]

I'll have my laptop with me so if they have wifi at the shirehorse.. you could still log into work if you get a call?? lol

[flibble]

;)

Ok, just coke with ice will do :-P

[DanAbnormal]

Lame, I'm still going even though I had major surgery only a week ago. :wink:

Yeah but.....well, you're just harder than me.;)

[plowsie]

Jeeze, i've just got me gear sorted out and come back to work. If anyone wants a laugh tonight, come just before 7 when i think i'll get there to watch me take my waterrproofs off. Its a farkin mission!

[Warthog]

Well, after seeing that the famous Plowsie will be there, I am .... .... .... attending!
Stu, do you want to come past Oxford to meet with me and Phil on the way down? I will PM you my number if you want to organise something. I have to eat pancakes with the bird first, so should be leaving at about 6:30-7 I guess.

[plowsie]

Well what way do you go mate? I was just gonna hit the M40 from A43 and pummel down...only prob is i can barely hold 80 atm in this weather. Been a err larger kid aswell doesnt do the top speed justice. So might be easier me going down on me own...Up to you mate...

[Warthog]

Well if you want to pummel down the M40 be my guest! Phil and I go south past fox's diner toward Henley, then east over to maidenhead and the shire. Probably leaving at about 7 after faffing about with fuel etc. Do you know where fox's is?

[plowsie]

Sort of ish :lol: Tell you what i'll find it this week and then come down with you two from there next time...

[ASM-Forever]

Coming down vis Fox's is definitely a better (more fun) route. :)

[stevehaskew]

What time are people aiming to be there? I can be there any time from about 6:30 onwards..

[plowsie]

I saw :lol:

Warthog - I've text ya!

[Stig]

Seeing as I am coming from home instead of normally from work, I'll be there around 7ish. Depends on what time Jo gets my dinner ready.

[Sosha]

Coming from Kingston... Don't know what time I'm leaving & don't know what time I'll get there.
Useful as a lead pigeon....

Still A308 has got to be better than boring M4

One word.....Runnymede. Lovely bit of road, especially when the grass is short, so there's good visibility. Unless its windy of course, in which case you'll probably end up in the river. :p

Man of the house my ****! I bet you're the recessive partner. ;)

I've arrived late to the last few meets, thus i will make an effort to arrive around 7-ish.

[flibble]

[plowsie]

Good man...Sorted. See you both there :)

[KnightRider]

Am leaving work now - so will be very late

[StreetHawk]

I will not be attending now :-(

That will come as no surprise to many!

[stevehaskew]

Good to see you all again. For those who had to go around the accident on the A4, see:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/berkshire/7229478.stm

[scifibloke]

Yeah, the Cop I spoke too at the scene said he thought someone had died... :(

BigApe, I hope you didn't feel like you had a shadow... ;)
I can see now why you have a "slow" bike...

[FG1]

Nice to meet you all. Managed to put a few faces to names, although I am useless at remembering names.
Look forward to seeing you all again.

[ASM-Forever]

Good meet with a decent turnout.

Surprised that Nick didn't show! :)

[plowsie]

Was good to have some proper brains at the meeting for a change instead of all these 'uni' wasters.

It was a good turn out. Wasn't impressed with the advance party's attempt at seating arrangements though.

home already :) nice meeting you all, will defo come to more if you guys will have me :)

Lunatic. :lol: Was good to meet you even if we didn't get to chat.


Was also good to meet another new person. flibble, 'cause like the rest of us no doubt, I've forgot your name again even though a made a point of asking for it. :oops:

1: I think i'm right in saying that only myself and Phil are at uni.

2: The pub was packed(-ish) so we went for what was available....it worked out in the end didn't it.

3: Apparently its not Murray. ;)

[plowsie]

3: Apparently its not Murray. ;)
:lol: :laughat::smt036

[flibble]

Morning, was another top evening and good to see you all.

Very entertaining conversations from ASM.. eh-hem :eek:

Murray is close, but to make it easier thought I'd add it to my signiture for now :)

[Sosha]

Sorted.... :rolleyes:

[Warthog]

I had a really good time, best meet yet I thought. Bike felt really planted on the roads too, can't recommend Z6's enough to Mr "my rear tyre is bald" Plowsie. Roll on the summer roads and loads of trips and BBQs!

Oh yeah, and especially nice to meet you Tony, Mari and Stu. Stu of course you are welcome back; you deserve big kudos for travelling 1.5 hours each way to a meet when Nick_76 can't even make one in his own back garden!

I don't live in Mhead anymore.. i'm all of 30 mins away! But yes, my lack of attendance is unexcuseable and I will make more effort next time. Didn't eat until gone 7.30 and had to bid on an ebay auction at 9.30.. Did think about a brief appearance but was too full of pancakes to move :smt106

Will be at the rideout sunday defo :D

[ASM-Forever]

I will practice for the next meet. :^o :p

Also it was nice to meet Plowsie and to see Tony put his hand in his pocket. ;)

[flibble]

I will practice for the next meet. :^o :p



Didn't mean to sound funny, am used to being called all variations from marie, mary, moni and even Ay-u :geek:

Edited:
Actually, no.. thats wrong, I should have been more abusive. Doh!

It didn't seem in any way abusive to me....you need some practice. I suggest 5 minutes on visordown. ;)

[fat_brstd]

well the zzr died again from its dreaded electrics and ive now changed the rectifier and will be getting a multimeter tonight so can properly check everything over. Interestingly the reg/rec i took off only 5 pins in it whilst the replacement has 6, same connector tho so im hoping that it was the wrong one originally on it.
