The le carnage home safe and sound thread

[christian1000]

Dunno about everybody else, but I've just got back. Knackered and soaking! Dumping all my stuff and crawling to bed

[ravingdavis]

I'm home and feeling a hell of a lot better now I've had a shower and a cup of tea. Cheers to Phil for finally making himself useful and organising an epic trip to France. The weather did its best to spoil our fun but it takes more than a little water to ruin a carnage ride.

I'm home aswell, weather wasn't all bad, came good for the last day. Definitely a big cheers to Phil for organising! Great weekend.

Im back...just about. Nearly ran out of petrol again! Gear was soaked when i got in and i fear i may have to push the bike to the petrol station but its just nice to be home!
Cheers to Phil for Organising, Col for Translating and to everyone else for making it such a great weekend.

Again?! I suppose we did have that diversion that added 20miles of pointless up and down the m40.

[F4LL3N]

Everyone home safe ???

I'm back ! Dave and Dan have carried on up the M1 so guess they will be about another hour. Bed for me too. Cracking weekend :D

[Specialone]

We got back about 1.20.

Worst ride I've ever experienced, the m40 slip was closed and the ****s decided to add 21 miles back the other direction and back when I could've just come through Bicester, that really ****ed me off.


I was on auto pilot at the end and was struggling for concentration, lightning lighting up the sky on the m40 too.


Later dudes.

[christian1000]

Aye me and Dave had that diversion aswell, just jumped on the M40 without thinking how far away the next junction was. Ah well.

[MisterTommyH]

Home! Pulled up at 1:35

Really bizarre night. First the two bikes getting broken, dropped on the boat.

Then I completely missed the A34 turn off the M3 following Phil so ended up at the M3 services with Raving Davis (thought that fuel up would get me home), then doubled back to the A34.

The got the M40 with the closed slip road - took a diversion which seemed completely different to the one everyone else took when I saw them.

Missed the island to the M40 north, then saw the entrance to Cherwell Valley and turned round back to the first island - By complete chance see a bike coming to the left and slow down, oh it's Dan, oh and Dave, oh and Gaz. (assuming this was their diversion but from a different direction that I came). Pull up to say hello. 5 minutes later there comes Phil and Clair - from the same direction - (not quite sure how I got in front of you without passing on the A34 as I would have started miles behind??)

Decided I didn't want to stop, and spanked it up the M40, sign says 10miles to M42 = 11 minutes. Challenge accepted - Challenge obliterated! Unfortunately then the fuel light came on (must have been wringing it a bit more than I thought) so had to come off at Shirley and search out fuel at 1AM. (120 miles brimmed to light isn't usual for me).

Pretty uneventful after that although I have never been so glad to see the M6, even if it did have roadworks.

Odd night, probably one of the worst nights riding I've ever been on what with the rain, some of the worst winds I've seen in England and all the diversions. All in all I think I've met-up with about 3 different groups of us, all heading to different parts of the country.

I haven't had time to check the small penis thread because I'm too tired - but lets just say Maiming Dasies had better watch out in future. I won't forget that one in a hurry.

[MisterTommyH]

I'm back!

[Dave20046]

fartface du hommé

Homesafe after diversion to several closed petrol stations - thanks garmin. Turns out I can do almost 40 miles with the light on! So my bike doesn't guzzle thaat much.

Got back about half an hour after dumping the bike off at the lockup. Me and Dan stopped at some services for a coffee as it was hard going, really didn't want to leave but the sideways rain made the shelter of the forecourt useless so had to leave :( Things got pretty turrible after nottingham, notably freezing and gaggles of arctics overtaking each other made the spray ridiculous. CARNAGE

Cheers for the top weekend everyone
...and the driver of this van really should run for prime minister as he has a theory on everything. I've long since shut up as I thought maybe if I stopped replying he'd stop, but the consipacy theories and setting the world to rights continues to educate and enlighten Russ. Get me the f**k home and out of this van.

My last recovery driver was like that, and I'm sure he was ****ed up

[Dave20046]

Dan home too and potentially knackered, just received a text a text that doesn't quite make sense. Either the reader or the writer is beyond shagged.

[danf1234]

Home safe. Broken. That is all!

[Geodude]

Glad your all back ok and hope your warm and dry now and not wrinkled soggy prunes still ;)

[MisterTommyH]

Ha ha, this trip seems to have broken everyone (and a couple of bikes).

[Specialone]

The journey home certainly broke me, I'm fubar'd :(


Sorry to all I didn't say goodbye to, I was planning to pull up after security but all I seen was bikes and couldn't work out quick enough where our lot was.

I was in a bit of a daze tbh.

Btw, bikers who are leaving ferries, why do you feel the need to race in front of others who are queuing for the same thing? Ar5eholes, both duke riders, says it all really I guess.

I got flashed on the way home at least 75-100 times by cars and lorries coming the other way, my lights are stupid.

I accept they will be higher with weight on the back but if that's how they were intended then the designer needs shooting.

Yeh i know, was abit of a surprise but i was making progress! That diversion was stupid! Why was that slip round closed?

[Nick_69]

I'm home nearly didn't make if due to no petrol but I was never going to stop in that rain. Thanks Phil for putting together an excellent weekend and Colin and dan who help lead or go teck

[Specialone]

You're all welcome dudes, glad you all enjoyed it despite the weather, certainly an experience :)

[speedplay]

I find it hard to believe that both of Colin's bikes have had enough of him.

[-Ralph-]

Home safe - obviously! Thanks Phil for a lot of hard work!

[danf1234]

A big thanks to Phil from me for putting all this together. Those on the trip knew what it meant for me to get away this weekend for a break and it was just what I needed.

Thanks to everyone else that made it such a great bloody laugh.

[Specialone]

Again lads, you're welcome :)

It took real team effort this weekend to overcome some challenges, especially with the weather.

Col, your French helped immensely this weekend, everything I learnt last september seemed to have disappeared, I'm defo gonna learn a lot more.

Thanks to everyone for coming and playing their part in a good weekend.

So when are you going to start organising Carnage part 3?

[F4LL3N]

Yeah thanks Phil, and everyone that I met this weekend :) despite the weather I think we managed to have a right laugh and make the most of it ! Bring on the next one :D

[aliwakeskate]

Glad you all made it home safely and sounds like a wicked time!

Look forward to meeting up soon and hearing all about it.

Seconded, and the hospitality on the way down (needless to say but Clair too!) plus Collin as already said for relentlessly being drafted in to aid communications and everyone else for all the pishtaking and general untwátishness expected on an org trip.

[Quiff Wichard]

Glad u all home folks ... It's ace that weather didn't dampen your spirits .. Sucks though when on a bike but no ones fault ... Looking fwd to pics
