How many people coming still own an sv do you think?

jambo
20-06-13, 10:32 PM
I'll be on the SV and thus easy to spot. If you see someone far too tall to ride anything other than a ktm adventure on a blue sv, that's me that is.

If you see a guy too tall and fat for anything but a GSA on a blue fully faired sv, that'll be me!

20-06-13, 10:38 PM
You gave a 3 hour gap. I gave 2.

fair point, you got me on that one!

How many people coming still own an sv do you think?

that all depends on how many new people we'll have coming this time i'd say, although I still have my sv and it is my only bike, nearly 6 years since I got my licence too! :D

Radio 4 have just reported that June 21st is the happiest day of the year according to some psychologist who has worked out a formula. Pah! I wasn't happy getting up at 5.20am to take Stu part way to work and now I need to wash and vacuum the car.

I shall be arriving 5 minutes after Chris8886 and then drinking a cold beer while I watch him put my tent up for me.

Or full textiles. Then on top of that go for the separate waterproofs or all in one romper.

Currently blue sky here so probably go for wife-beater vest, shorts and flipflops and try not to fall off too often.

Have a great weekend everyone. Wish I could have made it, hopefully be at the next one. Hopeing its Scotland so I can kill 2 birds with 1 stone and attend an AR and ride in Scotland.

Matt-EUC
21-06-13, 09:50 PM
I have to say, Scotland sounds like a good idea.

dirtyred619
21-06-13, 10:19 PM
Don't know how it gets picked but there seems to be a concensus that it should be Scotland next.

Don't know how it gets picked but there seems to be a concensus that it should be Scotland next.

I believe the current system is that anyone who wants to run it puts up a brief proposal and then one gets picked by the admin team. We tried asking people to vote, that didn't go as well as hoped. If you think there's been any arguing this year you ain't seen nothing... :rolleyes:

Anyway, me & Mrs Jambo are up!

We'll see you down at the camp site around 9:30-ish. :D

Yeah i got lost..went past a marker who wasnt indicating a direction near petersfield tesco. I think he thought i wasnt part of the ar as i was quite far between groups, so i carried on straight over the next few roundabouts til i realised i must of cocked up, did a u turn back to last marker but they were gone. Cue 50 mile depressing ride home alone! Where did i go wrong?

Matt-EUC
22-06-13, 10:04 PM
You should have turned left before tesco.

22-06-13, 10:07 PM
Bugger, had tried to find the lunch venue address on here but no luck so i just had to call it a day

Matt-EUC

Should have gone back to camp, grabbed job's number and texted him. We had two join us at lunch.

stuR

I thought about joining for lunch but wasnt sure how far it was and therefore if i cud make it

Matt-EUC
22-06-13, 10:12 PM
Either that or joined us at our fuel stop. We were there for 30 minutes. Go to camp tomorrow, someone will be riding somewhere.

I was behind you. There was a marker with his left indicator on but you went straight on. I followed you up to the next roundabout but couldn't get through the traffic before you'd gone. So I turned round and rejoined the ride.
