[DanAbnormal]

[injury_ian]

can i meet you lot at guildford say 12ish?

[ASM-Forever]

Yep no problem mate, where abouts do you want to meet? Somewhere coming out of South Guildford near the A281 would be good.

I'll PM you my mob. number.

[injury_ian]

are you coming in on the A322?

OR

Do you know the 'Seahorse' pub http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=guildford&ie=UTF8&ll=51.218764,-0.569114&spn=0.001226,0.003374&t=h&z=19

nice big car park with an overflow ontop.

[ASM-Forever]

We will be coming in on the A322.

According to the map we pass the Seahorse, so that would work as well.

BUt I did that Monday and Tuesday! Enjoy chaps. Keep it rubber side down.

[FG1]

Sorry, but I am going to have to pass on this now aswell. That's what happens when the wife plans things while you are out at the pub. I should be there Sunday though as I have told her to keep me free for the day. I did say please though.......

Did you go? How was the weather? Looked miserable out of the office window.

[injury_ian]

they all got scared of the gm massive!

[ASM-Forever]

Well i was the only one that turned up at the Shire Horse!

[ogden]

Colour me uttery astonished.

We didn't go to Brighton in the end. Tony and myself went to Chiswick Honda and had a nose around. I have come to the conclusion that the only Honda i half like is the CBR600. Having said that i wouldn't buy one.

We then went to the Ace and had lunch. I had chill/cheese/chips which was yum, but made me feel ill!

FGO then finally turned up and we went to Fox's via Amersham/Henley. We then ran out of time and the two Tonys went home via the M40 and i once again tackled some twisties.

Despite the poor weather it was a pretty decent ride. Occasionally its nice to ride in adverse conditions. :riding:

I took a few snaps....

I had a nice hoon back to Henley. Went past a police van at considerable speed though, although i'm pretty sure i'm safe.

Also some git on a blade wouldn't move over to let me past. He didn't look in his mirrors for ages and when he did he still blocked me.

should of given me a bell i was in reading

[DanAbnormal]

Should've given ME a bell I work down the road from Chiswick Honda. Just kidding. Glad you had fun. Swines! :p

[ASM-Forever]

I'm giving up organising things, everyone always flakes on plans. :(

[FG1]

Mark, don't give up straight away. I reckon it was the short notice which spoiled it. You can't let Tony K be the chief organiser......

[DanAbnormal]

I'm giving up organising things, everyone always flakes on plans. :(

I dunno. You French, slightest hint of trouble and you give up! :p

[StreetHawk]

I'm giving up organising things, everyone always flakes on plans. :(

There was only about 12 hours notice and it was a weekday ride.. I think you did well to get 3 together! If I woke to glorious sunshine then i'd probly have made it but it was pretty overcast and miserable..

[ASM-Forever]

I'm not really annoyed that noone turned up, its just that i got up at 9AM ffs!

Oh well i did more work on my bitch strips. I cleaned the bike when i got back and it looked like they were gone. The water must be playing tricks. :)

[injury_ian]

Thats not as bad as working a 12hr 7-7 nightshift sleeping for 3hrs, waking up late hooning to Guildford only to find the 'cheese eating surrender monkeys' had given up!

- Gave me a chance to sort out some final bits for MOT tho, so day not wasted.
