Thats what 3 weeks in America does to you! Imagine if I lived over there :shock:

Hope the Holiday was good!

It was great :D thanks mate. My wallets cowering in the corner somewhere trying to catch its breath (bit like Dizzy ;)) but it was worth it!

So the yanks like lard and jacking the prices up

[dizzyblonde]

Ever seen the TV series Man V Food?

I've never seen how Americans eat til I saw that! Well the programme is OTT, but Peg says its horrific the quantities they eat over there....

...which reminds me......theres an AR food mountain sat in various points around HX. I do hope that the YCmobeel can cope with the weight!!!

[Fruity-ya-ya]

Packed and chomping at the bit.
Can't Friday off so begged getting off after everyone comes back from dinner. see y'all there :)

:smt045 my mate got me into as part of my training regime for going over there! I like Pawn Stars too on History, some people on there are just mental! Only reality shows I watch 2bh

I saw some sights over there. Sights usually found in the ocean being chased with a harpoon gun

Anyway enough about America, its all about Yorkshire this weekend :cheers:

[dyzio]

I might have to re pack the bike in the morning so I might need a small favour from an ooger:

Would anyone be so kind as to lend me a tankbag for the rideout? Need to put the camera somewhere...

Cheers

[hongman]

Lol you will have to catch me first!








After I have let down your tyres and cut your brakes ;)

Btw I still haven't prepared at all. Still need to work a route out, will be motorways at this rate :(

[dizzyblonde]

well I had a bath, and thats as far as I've got for me. Have to pack my own stuff tomorrow. been sorting out so much for you guys, I've not had time for me!

[Bibio]

[Shellywoozle]

[Fruity-ya-ya]

Off to work, see you all later.

(not giddy at all)

[timwilky]

Packing, intend to be there in time for a pre lunch aperitif with Mr Preston.

Also for some reason having to take him some pillows, Bear isn't there so why does he need something to bite on

[Bluefish]

I think SK is taking on Bear's duty's ;)

[Mrs_giggles]

dave

[hongman]

Just over half way there. Stopped for lunch.

Already found out my fuel light is broke as I ran out of petrol this morning bang on 160 miles....next to a petrol station.

Always me this stuff happens to!

[Fruity-ya-ya]

I seem to have pitched up near to every snoring orger. ;-)

[Geodude]

How's the weather doing? Was going to make a guest appearance today but its belting down atm and ive no waterproofs grr. Hope your all enjoying yourselves :D

[timwilky]

It is lashing it down. Glad I am sat in a tent

[Geodude]

Bouncing off the ground here in Durham. Well at least your in good company and in the great outdoors :D

[littleoldman2]

It is lashing it down. Glad I am sat in a tent I thought you'd all be in the drying room. That its the first thing you see is a hint to the likely weather.

Would like to give a big thank you to everyone who helped out yesterday with my puncture particularly Peterco and Rictus. Got to the petrol station put 42psi in and checked the repair, all was OK. Set off home and after about 25 mile the tyres going down again, filled it up and the repair checked OK. So must have had 2 or got another. Limped home from station to station and got in at 23:20 The wife bollocked me then went to bed, maybe I should have called her.

[BernardBikerchick]

oh but i want to be there with you all xxx but hot night in sounds good to me also ;)

[Geodude]

Severe weather up in Durham area floods etc so i hope it didn't get you guy's on its way up here.

[theboatman]

Thunder, lightening and torrential rain on the first leg of the rideout, few of us bailed out after Richmond. The weather didnt get any better!


Typically blue sky now - just in time for the BBQ!

[anna]

:( no doubt though it didnt dampen the spirits of AR ;)

[BanannaMan]

Wish I could be there.
Hope everyone is having a great time!

[Geodude]

Any chance of posting up the ar route map when you get back Dizz for us northern folk who might want to give it a try at some point [-o<:)

I was going to go back down on Saturday, but the weather and the need for a new back tyre put paid to that.

[rictus01]

and then there was one..........
All the Orger are gone, peace returns to Dalesbridge, just me forone more night, as expected the AR lived upto expectation, thanks to the hard work of those concerned, special thanks to Lou &Ollie for a wonderful job, And also Pete for a nice ride to the manor cafe today , also Miss Girth for. The safe care of my watch (yes I am senile), generally a good time was had by all.

Cheers
Mark

[Speedy Claire]

I had a fantastic weekend... huge thanks to Lou and everyone involved in the planning, you guys did a great job x

[maviczap]

Things to remember about AR11

Don't use the M606 around Bradford, it disapears into the ringroad, thereafter into no mans land, missing signs and hoplessness.

My Goretex textile suit is not monsoon proof, so pack the one piece to go over the top

Neither are my 'waterproof' boots. pack wellies next time

Never let DP have a megaphone

[Shellywoozle]

Thanks for a great weekend, thanks Lou and co for sorting it for us.

Thanks to a few folk who made me laff last night and for 'stuff' - you know who you are ;) thanks for those that made me drink last night too ha ha ha ..... glad I did albeit my head wasn't too pleased.

And a big thank you from Samson for putting up with his mad moments and barking .... especially Phil24 7 who slid on he @rse a few times winding him up. X x x
he has no claws due to scaling high walls bless, he been ever so quiet since we got home ... BONUS

Nice to see you all again.

[Bibio]

great weekend. was nice to finally meet some of the faces to the names. if i never chatted i'm sorry but in my defence there was a lot of us.... aaaannnnd i'm actually quite shy in person.

[Dave20046]

:lol:

but +1 - and maviczap I'm ashamed to have only just remembered I owe you a pint :smt053

[Fruity-ya-ya]

Thanks to Lou & Ol for popping my AR cherry :notworthy:

I had a fantastic time and felt very welcomed - enjoyed every minute - perhaps not so much while my boots & underpants were soaked through, but storm clouds aside it was the most fun I've had on x2 wheels.

p.s. My mate Adi didn't stop asking when the next meet will be so I think you'll definitely be seeing him again in the future too.

Thanks again to all who made the weekend such an enjoyable event.:cheers:

[hongman]

Thanks to the organisers, markers, and drunks for all the entertainment!

This AR was a bit rough for me (no fault of anyone else but me and sods law) so apologies if I didnt seem as socialable as I should have been.

I let the missus pack my clothes (or lack of...) so I spent a lot of it wet/damp and cold, plus a load of things on my bike broke and now the list of parts to get is fairly damaging to the wallet :(

Buuuut I still had a good time and the best thing about the AR as always, is seeing old and new faces again.

[JamesMio]

Things that made me chuckle at the AR...

- Hongman's oven gloves
- AndyBrad's uber camp dancing whilst marking junctions
- The HUUUGE crack of thunder & lightning just as I rolled past YorkieChris on junction marking duty, who duly sh@t a brick
- Bibio's clearly drunk SatNav
- DavePreston
- BlueFlame's snoring (sounded like he was caught halfway between a fight and an orgasm)
- The shameless use of another man's wife to go and fetch indigestion tablets (you know who you were!)

I'm sure I'll think of plenty others...

Yellow marigolds :-D

Dzyio's face when he realised Dicky Ticker was in the same bunkhouse after last years snore fest

Dzyio's relief when he heard about the free ear plugs in the goodie bag :mrgreen:

[hongman]

Ah yes, gloves in oven at 75C to dry out!

I duly forgot about them as I went to the BBQ and then **** myself when I realised I'd left them in there.

Cue fast walk to bunks to check, halfway there someone says to me "Can you small plastic burning"

Cue sprint to bunk house to discover it was locked up, but some responsible person has turned the oven off.

Thank you, whoeever it was!!

Dave Preston @ 4am: "Wife where's my tent?"
Lozzo at 8.30: "Wakey Wakey Lazy *******!!! Breakfast"

Oh, just an honourable mention to Paul the 6th for his amazing glow in the dark clothing - kept me throughly amused for hours!

Oooo I heard about that....hes a very naughty boy ;)


I think the most memorable part for me was......

I am now blind, I have had an eternal scar imprinted on my retinas.......someone else who knows who they are!

[orose]

Seems I'm no longer a hoopy frood... my towel is AWOL :(

[theboatman]

and then there was one..........
All the Orger are gone, peace returns to Dalesbridge, just me forone more night,

I wondered who was left as I passed about an hour ago, I nearly popped in to find out, but a cuppa at home drew me on...

[missyburd]

- BlueFlame's snoring (sounded like he was caught halfway between a fight and an orgasm)

LOL you definitely claim the best descriptive efforts concerning nightly exhalations award ;)

Oh, just an honourable mention to Paul the 6th for his amazing glow in the dark clothing - kept me throughly amused for hours!
Also kept us thoroughly amused watching you being thoroughly amused about your hoody :D


Fab weekend. I know how much work, time and effort was put into this years AR, it really showed so huge congrats to Ollie and Lou for making it happen. The weather couldn't be helped and everyone remained surprisingly high spirited despite being sopping wet! My first AR on my own SV was definitely one to remember, I'd never ridden through such torrential rain on it before and I live in bloody Yorkshire :D

[Milky Bar Kid]

Jamesbieber! lol!

[andrewsmith]

Maria....


OWNED!!

[missyburd]

I blame TSM for the poor execution, don't worry we shall strike again when you least expect it.

[phil24_7]

Seems I'm no longer a hoopy frood... my towel is AWOL :(

Was it Blue? If so, it was left on the wall!

[orose]

No, I found that one and binned it - mine was a light blue microfibre job.

[maviczap]

After three days riding and enjoying myself I had a great sleep and today I feel almost human.

Well almost.

Not sure if all my kit is dry mind
