I thought it was only fair!
But, if the rumours about ASM are true then i'll be keeping my distance at the next meet! ;-)

So, er, evenin' all. Should I show my face? Prace bets now...

Yeah, a '96 7R, my pride and joy til I accidentally destroyed it last year and flogged what was left of it bit by bit on ebay. Spot of resulting insurance trouble means I've downsized to an SV for the time being - been pleasantly surprised at how quick it is, though I scored an RGV last weekend (as per sig) and the SV feels a bit like a tractor in comparison! (Am I allowed to say that here??? ;) )

No you can't. Be gone with your cruel derogatory words of scorn. :smt093

By all means, i dont know anyone dumb enough to own one. :p
Don't let the Ape fool you, he has a Dullsville, not a SV.
I'm also the real power here....best to buy me a drink to curry favour. Preferred currency is snout.

Me too, come rain or shine, nothing stops me getting to these meets..
;-)
My Bike's legal....Mot/ tyres/ a chain that doesn't stretch every 10 miles.....woohooo!! Might make it. Still have no decent waterproofs & if I do brave the elements someone has to remind me I'm having the steak......
mmmm onion rings....
The Steak. That's important - none of this Thai prawn Curry rubbish.

Nothing like a well-hung steak, and the steak in the Shire Horse was WELL hung! :-P

Sod that. If I can get it running, I'll be in the car. If not, I'll walk!

I think it only apt to inform people it'll be chucking it down tonight/tomorow morning...
Mmmmm... lots a diesel! :reaper:
Not that I'm trying to put anyone off... ;)
I may be there, so long as my back stops hurting, and making me walk around like I have a broom stuck somewhere you wouldn't want it!!! :(

You lightweight! A little bit of rain would stop you from riding your bike!
I'll be there rain or shine as I will be coming directly from work.

PS - hope your back gets better.

What time are people arriving? I'll be eating this time so will be hungry!
KnightRider
16-10-07, 10:52 AM
7.15-7.30 only cause I cant get there earlier from work.
Yum Yum Yum
Depends on how late I decide to work tonight. What time you thinking of getting there Nick? If someone else is going to be there early then I'll sack the OT and get my ass down there early.
StreetHawk
16-10-07, 11:38 AM
I was thinking of getting there for 7 but need to make a stop on the way so more likely 7.30 now.. If it's tanking down i'll be in the car.
Well that 'aint exactly early now is it. Guess I'll be doing the OT then. I expect I'll be there some time around 6:30.

If it's raining on the way home and my gloves get as wet as they did this morning, I might have to risk being called a fairy too...
Need to get myself some winter gear!
fyi, I'll be there about 7ish
Car battery on charge in the kitchen now. Looking good! ;)
Well I am going to expect at least another 5 people there besides myself as per the poll. You all know who you are :)

I am still good, but my girlfriend bought me food that I have to eat, so I will be not too early. Probably in the car with Philbut too, it is torrential up here at the moment.

But you need to stamp your authority! Otherwise she has won! And I don't know if I want to go 30 miles in the rain on my own... :(

Maidenhead's dry and fairly bright at the moment, hasn't rained significantly all day.
Which, no doubt, means the heavens will open in half an hour or so. Fingers crossed the car starts...
StreetHawk
16-10-07, 05:20 PM
Yep, it's dry here at the mo.. Forecast is heavy rain until early hours but i'm gonna brave it and get the bike out anyway cos i'm hardcore... ;-)
I shall soon be leaving work. As I am now the last one in the office I have to do all the security checks, so an additional 10 minutes on top. Should be there shortly after 7 I think.
OK, so, to remind me, who was who?
stevehaskew
16-10-07, 10:51 PM
I was there, sitting vaguely opposite you, tall, white t-shirt, kept looking outside to see if it was raining!
I'm tank story man. :oops: Sorry if I bored everyone to death.
Considering the weather, I thought it was a reasonable turn out.
Sosha, girl you must have been completely soaked. :smt103
It took me an extra 5 minutes to get ready to leave with all my waterproof gear, and then another 5 minutes undoing it all again to find my bike key. #-oBut I got home nice and dry, even if the bike did decide to play the 2 cylinders 1 cylinder game.

I was sat near the window next to the short guy!
Got wet hands and crotch on the way home !! Next time I must remember to wear my gloves under the jacket as this must be where the water got in. Also, had a pair of waterproof trousers under my seat, maybe it would have been better to have then on my legs... :-)

He was also the guy who left early cause his missus had beckoned him home.

Jacket held out surprisingly well considering.
Inexplicably started giggling 1/2 way back along the M4.... though confess it would have been more fun without the brand new tyre paranoia and a dryer a4se.....
Must go bike kit shopping....
(damn)
Got one of those not exactly waterproof oversuits somewhere but by the time I've battled my way into it and then realized my bike keys are still in my pocket I'd almost rather get rained on. :rolleyes:

I was the token Female.....:(

I didn't show up cos Phil cancelled on me and it was torrential rain in Oxford. Next time I'll get a better posse together and we'll make it down.

I wouldn't worry, as it turns out the best riders dont go to meets. :p
