View Full Version : Sunday 24/08/2008 - Skegness
Am thinking of taking a pootle over to Skeggy on Sunday for an ice cream. Despite it being Bank Holiday weekend, the weather forecast is good.
Will be leaving Bassetts Pole at 9.30am then heading past Tamworth, Loughborough, Melton, Grantham & Boston. Will probably do the B664 between Melton & Mkt Harborough on the way back.
A bit short notice, but anyone interested? Will be around 230-240 miles in total.
Hello matey, my in-laws are up this weekend but if I can get away I'll come along - will let you know as soon as poss.
By the way, I'm picking up the Autocom from your bro tomorrow! Cheers for sorting that :D
I'm due to be working this Sunday but if i can swap my shifts i'll probably come along. I'll let you know before the weekend.
is it ok if i tag along
Course it is m8. Anyone welcome :cool:
Is Monday out of the question?
Will have to get the bike properely sorted by this weekend though. Fingers crossed.

I will know for definate by Friday morning really. But then i need to have the bike running 100% again by then. So two hurdles to overcome. I'll let you know though. Hopefully i can make this Sunday after missing out on Marches Meander.
i will do that si
when will you know if you are going on this si ?
I've got my shifts sorted so Sunday's free. :D Just need to sort the bike now...

Sounds like you've got Skeggy sorted. Sorry can't be there. Get some 'Lunging' photos for the forum.

All- Have a great trip to Skeggy. Sorry I cna't make this one. I'm off next week so will be hitting the roads. Might be doing a route on Tuesday if anyones interested.
Right guys, a slight change of destination :D
Didnt realise when I posted this that some of the .org were rafting near Lake Bala. The roads over that way are much better than on the scoot to Skeggy, so a much better destination.
Mike (Luckypants) has also kindly offered a BBQ in the afternoon back at his place for attendees/spectators, but you'll need to sign up for that on this thread if your interested: http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=103493&page=20
Will still be leaving Bassetts at 9.30am, will be a good day out :D
I've fixed that electrical problem, i hope anyway. Just been on a blast down the motorway to check it holds up at prolonged high speeds and then had a little fun on the way home. ALL IS WELL!!!:D
So i should be a certainty for this Sunday now DMC. I'll see you at about 9:15 this Sunday at BP. No doubt i'll speak to you before then anyway.

You just want to see me dumped in the drink.................admit it!:D

i cant make it but if you park near the pier the bowling alley has changing rooms with lockers for £5 a day

I'm thinking of some lunge/rafting combo photos. Lunge in the foreground, then with some perfect timing, a photo taken as the rafters pass by in the background. Pure lunging/org photography genius.;)
I've been to this place before and there are some decent photography spots right by the river...

I've got plenty, don't you worry. :cool:
I'm up for this! I won't be able to make the BBQ as I've got to come back in the afternoon to entertain my in-laws :( (I love them really!) but I'll come out for a few hours.
Binky, unless you really fancy a trip in to Brum tomorrow morning don't worry about the panniers tomorrow. If you want t oget rid of them though it would be cool for ou to come here about 8:30-8:45 then we can ride up to BP? Up to you?
