[lily]

Well I didn't know if you needed the saturday or sunday.... you didn't say... was just telling you what the 8th was

[Holdup]

I aimed that at myself

Thank you for correcting me though Lily!

[blue curvy jester]

After my ride today....I am getting more and more excited at the fact that I will actually be able to ride at this AR :-)

I might be playing catch up by the time we get to it...lol. I feel like part of the bike already. I have a HUGE amount of skill to learn yet, but I feel pretty comfortable in just the few times I have gone out. The 400 is such an easy bike to ride. If I'm making progress and the bend tightens up, it will just dip in even by just thinking it.

In fact, my mission going out today was to not go as fast as I did yesterday and Saturday or lean the bike over as much, but to try on the open and traffic free bits of road to see how my body position and weight of my feet on the pegs would help me in the corners...it's bloody amazing.

I ended up finding the most incredible road and considering until 6 weeks ago, I had lived only a few miles away from it I cannot believe we missed it. I ended up having one of those rides that I hear people talk about all the time.....where everything just goes right and I was nailing it around some of the bends and it just felt amazing. I got loads of overtaking practise in today as well which I'm pleased about but I'll never want to be like some people when it comes to that. One nob passed me and was flitting past a line of cars one by one, having to grab a load of front brake everytime. He didn't look like a good rider....he looked like an didiot that was dicing with death. After grabbing the front brake myself on Saturday, I do not want to go for overtakes that would mean me having t take such evasive action. I think I'll always like to have a safety buffer.

Now that I can do motorways, we'll have to come over to Aber and meet up with you for a ride!

Hey! As long and there are no lorries or cars on the roads I'll be fine!

Am I going to have to drag you to this!?

[metalhead19]

Am I going to have to drag you to this!?

just kidnap him from work on the day....how can a boss argue with that!

[Gordon B]

To save me wading through 82 pages of chat is there any details of the actual route ie googlemap or such like. Trying to persuade someone to come with me and would help if I could show them the route

[_Stretchie_]

Not yet there's not, but if you do a search for the 'Welsh TT' you'll get the idea

We've tried to change as little as possible but at the same time have to accomodate literally 8-10 times more bikes than it was initially intended for

[Holdup]

Am I going to have to drag you to this!?

Nope, some one else already has the saturday booked off so i wont be able to make it

[Cymraeg_Atodeg]

Nope, some one else already has the saturday booked off so i wont be able to make it

Anyone else think James is gonna have flu that day!? :-dd

[Stig]

I always book the AR dates off work as soon as they have been finalized.

[cbay]

I still haven't booked a hotel room yet, bet they are all gone. And im going to have to lug a tent all the way from Essex. Oh Bugger.

Unless there are any attractive ladies who want to share. "How you doing?" *Jokes*

[metalhead19]

Could always see if there is anyone travelling up with/in a van who could take the tents?!

[Bluefish]

Do you have to think in russian though?. ;)

One of those rooms belongs to me and Foxy. :p

[Luckypants]

Another belongs to me and Claire. Best get your finger out :D

[Stig]

Did you go cheap or plush? :)

[Messie]

And another, posh one, is mine!

[gruntygiggles]

But, but....you'll miss out on the young 'uns falling through the hedge on the way back to the field....trust me, my cousin-in-law has proven that this is VERY easily done...lol

[gruntygiggles]

Correction...he's my nephew-in-law.......all laugh at Christopher :-)

[Messie]

LOL at Christopher (in advance, in case I fall over too early in August!)

[Drew Carey]

I categorically state I WILL fall over at sometime during the weekend......lol :D

[gruntygiggles]

I categorically state I WILL fall over at sometime during the weekend......lol :D


Aww bless you son....you say that like you will have a choice :rolleyes:

[Drew Carey]

Oh I know I won't have a choice......especially if my plan to get some South Western Cider again comes to fruitition!!!! :D

[gruntygiggles]

Oh I know I won't have a choice......especially if my plan to get some South Western Cider again comes to fruitition!!!! :D

We'll have a barrel or three ;-)

[Milky Bar Kid]

Am I gonna end up sick???

[lily]

depends how well do you handle cider!

[Milky Bar Kid]

Erm...ok on the night - not ok the next day!

I once got very drunk on cider, I didn't move from a chair in my friends house all day the next day because if I moved I was gonna puke!

[lily]

excellent!

yes you will be sick ;-)

(this is only to do if drew has any part in getting drinks for you)

[Milky Bar Kid]

N ooooooooooooooooo! I don't wanna be sick!!!

[lily]

then don't ask drew to get you any drinks!

and don't let wideboy or girth hold your drink! ;-)

[Milky Bar Kid]

Yeah, that will lead to unconciousness i would imagine...

[Stig]

Remember to save it for the Sat night not Friday night. I'm sure you don't want to spend the rideout day wishing you were dead instead of enjoying it. :wink:

[_Stretchie_]

Remember, if you think you had too much to ride, then you have. There is no shame in admitting it.

Yep.....there'll be a locked thread about this nearer the time. Even Hovis said he was only going to have two or three on the Friday and not drink after 10pm.....he wanted to be in top form so he could make it the best weekend for everyone.

I think we should all do the same :-)

[Drew Carey]

I don't drink and ride.....ever......will have a few drinks Thursday night, none Friday, then get drunk Saturday night, recover sunday and leave Monday morning feeling energetic!!!!! lol :D

[Drew Carey]

MBK - Don't worry, I won't make you sick.....never have made anyone sick. I like to enjoy some strange concontions......but I never force anyone to drink it.....if they choose to that's another matter!!!! :D

[Supervox]

The answer is simple - ask Bear to give the pre-ride brief; I think he made it quite clear at AR09 what he would do to anyone riding 'under the influence' !! :D

[Luckypants]

Did you go cheap or plush? :)

Mid-price, so not the executive suite some folks lounging around in but not in the bunkbeds either! :D

[_Stretchie_]

I know.... I went straight to the bar and had a pint of Vodka

[Stig]

There was only one reason why I didn't make it last time. That reason is not going to stop doing anything again. :wink:

Will be there. The expense of the event has already been paid for. Just need petrol and food. I think I can stretch finances that far. :razz:

[BanannaMan]

Thank you! Not saying at the Hotel (rooms or not)
I am still staying in the tent!

Hey, stay wherever you like Bill......in the tent it will be Stretchie and I, MilkyBarKid and you. Might leave the dogs at the kennels so that we don't have to worry about them.

Also, last year they were so knackered from having a ball or stick thrown by various people pretty much 18 hours a day...that they didn't even WANT to go for a walk for 3 days after getting home. I'd get the leads and they'd go back to sleep...lol

[Quiff Wichard]

Matt - you have a big erection.

[gruntygiggles]

You should know Stiffy ;-)

all this talk of stiffy's and that's the best you can do grinchy? i'm disappointed, i was expecting some sort of excitment whether you're coming to the ar or not :p

Sorry I'm in the office and it ain't very exciting there.

Well, we need a dog sitter for the Saturday then. Maybe we can find a kennel close by to just have them on the Saturday day and night???

The only people I would trust them with in the day would be me and Dan obviously, Squirrel_Hunter, MBK and Saxo as they are the people that know the dogs well enough and the dogs know them well enough. We don't trust Stig with people and don't trust Hollie with other dogs. Having a pack of four is very different than controlling one or two!

We'll see :-)

[barwel1992]

ok i realy should get on top of this.... whats the post code for the camp site ? might be comming by car and bike if i can talk the missus in to driving with all the stuf

[barwel1992]

the missus is comming in the car so she can bring crates of cider :D

I am going to try and show my face on the Saturday

[timwilky]

Ok, the mem sahib and I have booked into the hotel for the nights of 5th,6th August.

This will be her first AR and costing me a fortune as she doesn't do camping.

Tim, that would mean you would be staying for the Thursday and Friday night, not Friday and Saturday night.....just wanted to make sure you knew that. Will PM you tomorrow if you don't respond on here as I'd hate for you have an unwanted surprise.

Very very glad you'll be coming though :-)

[barwel1992]

i hope the bikes sorted for then :\

Whoops my bad... No I am booked Friday/Saturday in an "Executive Double".


Gemma had offered to drive her down, whilst Dave and I ride.( no comments about women and navigation) Fine I thought, then she kicked last night when she realised I had intended to camp when there is also a hotel alongside.

Still it means you happy campers will not be subjected to the snarling rotty.

[Quiff Wichard]

that Tim.. would be called

"Doin a Scoobs"

[timwilky]

No It ain't a scoob, purely a posting error. no way would I have turned up on the wrong day.

And never on the grass

[Messie]

Oooh crikey! We could meet over breakfast eeek!!!

[timwilky]

Oi, I will have you know that I am a very nice man.

The wife has now been trained not to lick her plate clean in public. So breakfast should be a reasonably pleasant experience.

Unless DavePreston has been upto his usual tricks and as soon as the grilled pig bits gets served then dinning room will resemble a martian invasion as we all turn green.

[Stig]

Oooh crikey! We could meet over breakfast eeek!!!

Do you think we could book a .org table? How many of us are staying in the hotel? Wonder if 'someone' should start a 'who is poshing it' thread?

[Messie]

LOL you can be that 'someone' Si.

But I warn you, I still have a photo of the last time you, I and some others tried to have a breakfast in a 'posh' hotel. Looks like he wet himself!

[Stig]

Tis done. But then you know that already as you've posted on it. Hope you booked a double bed. I'm sure there will be someone willing to share it with you. :)
