View Full Version : Shire Horse, 10/02/08
If I am on two wheels or four will depend on several things. But I will be there. And in a much better mood than I was last week. Probably.

hahahahahahaha unlikely.
I can't use the overtime excuse anymore, but my bikes are all shagged so I'll be in the very nice Volvo
:roll:
First part is true, 2nd part is true but possibly not for much longer, 3rd hopefully it will be not true. [-o<

Wot he said.
I now have two wheeled transport that works. So long as the roads are not covered in snow or ice I will be there on the bike. :cheers:
That's great news Si, I know how down I got when I was in between bikes and that was only a short time.
I've just been for a trundle down to Box Hill on the stroker. The roads may not be covered in snow or ice but the fields are and the roads aren't exactly great.
Tucked in to the slow lane approaching the entrance of the car park and noticed big piles of ice snow on the slip road. Nice!
God the coffee from Rykas sucks.

No can do
Just been reminded that i am off to see Jimmy Carr on Tuesday evening
Be careful anyone who does go out as Wycombe has been no go on the bike for the last week.
Are we looking at possibly the worst attendance ever? Forecast is for rain not snow.

I'll more than likely be in the car.
It's too orangey for crows.

But what are you doing in the fields on an RGV?

I probably won't be along because I know I won't be able to resist the temptation of a burger. Willpower sucks! :(

So what? Will a burger kill you?

THAT has to be the lamest excuse I have ever heard for not attending.

It might be acceptable from a woman.
Dan, is there something you'd like to tell us about an upcoming trip to Thailand?
i will be attending, and i may also be bringing a guest for you all to have a ganders at.

Turns out I'll be working late, so won't make it.
I'll be trundling over, but I'll be in the car, not on the bike.
Forecast is dry but sub-zero by 10pm.

No but it would make me feel bad.

As the more observant of you may have noticed I was not there last night. Sorry guys and girls, I was just being a wimp and couldn't be asked to go out in the cold, plus I got home from work late.
It's about time we folded and merged the TVSF with the GM.
Where is everyone these days? SMDF, SteveHaskew, Scifibloke or whatever his name was. Even that ASM feller hasn't shown his face in ages.

Might I suggest a meet when it isn't sub-zero and snowing?

What a rediculous idea Nick, next you'll be suggesting we might actually have a summer this year!
Sophie, as one of the "ladies" of the group, can I suggest you dont brag about getting one c0ck up after another on meet nights. Mind you, anything to get the attendance numbers up again.......

hahaha!
I can totally understand not wanting to come out when its freezing outside. Understand but not acceptable. Especially when I travelled 90+ odd miles to deliver a requested item and then for that person to decide its too cold to go out. :roll:
Yes 90+ miles. 22 Miles home, 35 miles to the Shire and then 35 more miles back home again.
Ah well.
I enjoyed the ride, but that's besides the point. :wink:

Oh bugger. Sorry Si, I wasn't expecting you to make a special journey to get it! I actually assumed that as I didn't text you you'd forget - it seems you memory is better than mine too!
Wasn't that cold - Least it wasn't in Reading where I more or less ended up at one point....
Bloke stopped at the side of road finishing phone call - I pull up and turn engine off..
"Thanks for stopping," he said, "But I'm fine."
"Good to hear it," I said, "I'm Lost - any idea where the A4 is?"
Fortunately he dd or I may have hit ocean by now.....

Now that's funny. Take notes.
Okay, so I couldn't be arsed to go out last night. I was working from home all day and was toasty warm. Roll on warmer weather!

Nicely keeping all the edits to one post there Soph :).
Oh ****, this is a meaningless post by me! Quick, insert a useful fact:
"Golf was banned in England in 1457 because it was considered a distraction from the serious pursuit of archery."
Phew, saved.
How could that EVER be a useful fact?

Are you asking so you can make a point of not attending that one as well?

I would refer you to the post from about three weeks ago where I said I'd come to the next meet or the one after if I can get my banger sorted but it must have been a PM (a drunken one I think!).
MOT is booked for Friday afternoon. It goes, stops and just about steers left and right.
Please don't laugh though.

What's wrong with yer motocicle?
My Daytona's fine. Just needs a service and new tyres. I've been getting the banger going that's been sitting outside my flat for years. I bought it off a neighbour who was letting it rot :rolleyes:.

So how many vehicles are you up to now..?
Just the three all in various states of repair. And the Lambretta which is just a state.
