The the Guildford Massive's fortnightly pub meet
excuse my ignorance but what is this? lol
It's a social pub meet, pint (soft drink) and chat. Come along if you can make it. The Britannia is in the centre near the council offices.
neither will eviltwin (unless he forgets to come to wales)
What a lame excuse!! P.S Nice avatar but I thought DD had posted. ;)
The Welsh camp thing and tyre fitting is on Friday. ET can enjoy our company for an hour or two and then head off to Wales from the pub and be at yours in time for sleep.
I'll be there. And Jester666, if you're reading this I'll be on my virtual bike.

Hooligans! The lot of you.
My Ninja buying expoits have now come to an end. I pulled out of the deal as I was getting messed about. Am off to Infinity this weekend to put in my order for a BRAND NEW bike........it's a 675cc Triple with not much fairing............................can't wait!
But which colour!?!?

I will probably buy one from Triumph direct (which means I get to goto the factory to collect her). Will probably go for Roulette Green. Or maybe white..........black looks nice too. As Triumph are one of our customers some staff here have had upto 40% discount on new bikes! My fingers are crossed!
Bellypan and bikin fairing are on the cards, plus the Arrow exhaust upgrade! Should sound the dog's hairy nadgers!
get a white one. they are the sexiest.
Dan, you lucky sod. Poor, only having dreams my ****.

Oh and sorry for derailing the derail but I can't come on Thursday!

I never said wear a dress in my post. It said 'dress up', a phrase meaning wear nice clothes. Unlike you two who prefer to wear NO clothes. :p

Not heard it called that before ;)
Dan,
I tried the tripple and loved it. Frighteningly chuckable and very easy to get on with. The shift lights were a bit 70's disco for me, but the rest of it was spot on. Speed tripple or Street tripple?
Do they do it in the dark pewter the 675's come in, that'd look pretty good. I took out a white one. Problem with that is after a quick ride it's got so many red splotches that used to be insects it looks like you've been on a serial killers day out.
May be worth a trip down to Haslemere. They seem to shift a few so may have better deals than Infinity.
Enjoy....
Now, where can I get a nice Firestorm?
Having read it again properly, realised you are talking the 675 not the 1050. Got to be the dark grey.

I'd hardly call it rain, more like a dribble, it's only 0.7mm in total.

Does that mean you're coming? Cos you'll need to think up another non-rain excuse. ;)

My bike is still missing some key components. Although I did ride it to the garage without the seat and tank. I had considered filling up a bag of petrol and pouring it in while riding but perhaps that could be construed as hazarous.............

Compton lane in Horsham is were I've got to drop off, but the beauty of bikes is I can go anywhere from there, could be a bimble down to the coast, could be a 300 mile blat threw to the dawn, who knows, it's "as the spirit moves me" so to speak 8-)
