Re: Le Carnage weekend to Normandy

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

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

Re: Le Carnage weekend to Normandy

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.

Re: Le Carnage weekend to Normandy

Home safe. Broken. That is all!

Re: Le Carnage weekend to Normandy

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

Re: Le Carnage weekend to Normandy

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

Re: Le Carnage weekend to Normandy

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?

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

Re: The le carnage home safe and sound thread

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

Re: The le carnage home safe and sound thread

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