Whitwell Railway Station - Friday 24th April

[Skip]

I am having a trundle to Whitwell on my 125 this evening with my father-in-law on his BSA C15 - anyone else heading there?

Bit short notice, Skip

Once the nights start drawing out, I might venture that far

[Skip]

Sorry - it was all dependant on the new carb turning up for the C15 - which it has so we are going to make the journey - I love long journeys on such a small bike - it just seems wrong but rewarding when you get there lol :D

[kaivalagi]

Mmmmm, I'll see if I can get away...what sort of time roughly?

[Skip]

I am hoping to leave Wymondham at about 6:45 - with a classic British bike with me so who knows if we will even make it LOL! I estimate about 30 minutes to get there...

[kaivalagi]

Sorry, can't make it, under orders...need to sort things out for tomorrow's bbq...take some pics!

I'll try and make it more of a regular thing though...would be good to meet up...

[Skip]

After a total bulb failure I had to skedaddle quick at 8pm so didn't take any pics sorry! Only just made it home by 8:30 as the light was fading fast - sketchy to say the least! Still it was an enjoyable "adventure" as every trip is on a little bike like that :)

Did fit a -2 teeth rear sprocket Saturday morning so cruising is now 50mph instead of 45 which is nice - yes hills might be an issue but we do live in Norfolk :D

Sorry I didn't see your posts Skip. I turned up and I think I saw the two of you. Did you park up next to the Marriotts way side?

[Heorot]

Tried to post some photos from my tablet. How do you do that?

[kaivalagi]

Best uploading to something like photobucket then posting them using the url

Nope, same problem I have posting up from my tablet or phone.

Think you need to install Tapatalk to post up pictures from a tablet

[kaivalagi]

Don't think we've got rights to see your Facebook picture Heorot....either alway public access or photobucket is the answer

If you quote this post to see the text you'll understand what I mean

Thanks for the tip Mark. That photo was taken around 6:30. It got even busier later and when I left at around the same time as Skip, there were more bikes arriving.

Should be making this Friday, heading over with Thunderace now he's able to ride again
