Re: the safely back home thread
 

I've been home a while.

Horrible rain and standing water to contend with.

Soaked in the bath to relieve my aching muscles.

Absolutely fantastic week end. \\:D/

Re: the safely back home thread
 

Hey guys I eventually got home via the ace and meet some of the guys there totally unplanned!

The bike is away, leathers hung up to dry ect about to have a hot bath, pasta and beer:thumbsup:

To echo again everyones thanks and for a great time. Was just awesome:cool: I think we should we should all try to meet up more than once a year if we can, would be a shame to leave so long before we all meet up! Take care guys.

Re: the safely back home thread
 

Home too. Back about 4.15pm ish having left Quiff on M6 at Stoke. Good run back Quiff, really enjoyed, even your Harley baiting ;) Thanks to all for an amazing weekend, Fizz the roads and organisation was great and a special thank you to The Apes whose hospitality was fantastic.

Re: the safely back home thread
 

good point-

but the organisation is horrendous-

we do have mini meets regionally..

Re: the safely back home thread
 

Been back a while now, crazy rain on the way back; but who cares top weekend.

Big thanks to Fizz, Viper and the rest of the crew for all they had to go through to get this years event organized. And thanks to all for making the AR what it is.

Re: the safely back home thread
 

numbers and kitten checking in.. got back at 3.30 ish...

Good journey.. just fingers crossed no sp30 in the post thanks to the cameras on the M42 and the specs on the M1..

fantastic weekend...

Re: the safely back home thread
 

Just thought I'd post up to say I got home safely aswell, although my backpack came undone and I lost my washbag and maybe some other stuff :(. You would've thought somebody would be flashing as it fell out my bag :confused:
Thank god I put my phone and wallet in my leathers pocket!!

A massive THANKYOU to all who made the AR08 happen... my first AR, but definitely not my last :D
Was good to get to know some of guys, had a fun time

Re: the safely back home thread
 

Just got back about 30mins ago, left drew and lilys house at about 4.30pm and got stuck in traffic near birmingham where i filtered and seem to have shredded my pannier covers 8) and it weed it down all the way home pretty much from brum. :(

Clocked up a total of 650 miles, but a good weekend and a very good ride home with drew.

Cheers to everyone who had some part in it, whether it was just being there or any of the organisation.

Re: the safely back home thread
 

The yorkies are home safe.

Birmingham M6 was a bit damp, lots of standing water.... nothing like it to keep you on your toes :-P

Re: the safely back home thread
 

Didn't see you leave mate (still in bed)
Was good to meet you and Maria
I got absolutely drenched from a car going through standing water :smt067b@stards

Re: the safely back home thread
 

+1 for the standing water in Birmingham. We were down to about 30mph in torrential rain, couldn't see a thing. Stopped at the services and talking to a guy on ZZR600 who was following us, he'd ridden from Newquay and was going to Glossop. He was soaked cos wasn't wearing waterproofs :(

Re: the safely back home thread
 

Pingu and Pingi home safely (12:15) made it home in time to watch the F1 - Car drivers can't stick to the road in a little bit of rain - they are rubbish :)

Thanks to all for making us feel welcome and those that chatted (even though we didn't have a 650 or loud exhausts)

Our 1st experience in tents and combined with wet weather - 2 things we can cross off the bikers list.

Pingi (too my relief) has not been put off by the experience so green light to more trips on bike and camping :)

Thanks to the organisers - brilliant effort and added to the whole experience.

Bring on the next one.

Re: the safely back home thread
 

Viper is HOME !!
\\:D/\\:D/\\:D/

Re: the safely back home thread
 

I'm back too. Many hours ago in fact but was in dire need of a shower, shave, and food. Monsoon at Gloucester and got drenched, it came down like stair rods - no wonder Doctor Foster never went back there;) - and caught the tail end of a downpour at Ludlow so the A49 was awash.

I've had a terrific weekend:cool:

Re: the safely back home thread
 

Safely back home now :smt003

Firstly, apologies for all those woken up by my late arrival :eek: ;) ...next year we aim to be first on the site 8-[

Turned up ahem quite late and also feel asleep when I went for a quick lay down(wasn't feeling too well). But still a very enjoyable weekend :) .

Big big big :thumbsup: to Fizz, Viper and the rest of the crew for all the effort put it. Super BBQ by the two chefs......just lovely :smt045

Coffee now and and then go down to unpack the bike. Thanks all....


Ben

Re: the safely back home thread
 

I took a long & windy road home but got back safe & sound
It took two hours longer on the way back but so much more enjoyable than the M-way
Thanks everyone for making it a great weekend\\:D/
