Re: lessons learned from AR08 - :D
I learned that even a weekend is not enough to meet everybody and check out all the bikes:smt103
Also to wear my waterproofs on the next one cos as soon as we did the rain stopped and when I took em off it pee'd down again.:smt089 |
Re: lessons learned from AR08 - :D
Naaaaah, don't worry e.d., it was just a bit of fun, no point in hauling it up

Re: lessons learned from AR08 - :D

And also I still cannot turn right of left out of junctions without making a plum of myself ! and i CAN'T DO GRAVEL !!! lol thanks to all the strapping men who came to my aid pushing my bike to a normal surface !! I learnt it was fab to not have a HUGE hangover but felt i missed out a little by bedding it too early, although bear has promised he'll make it up to me :smt103:smt103:D:D bbc |

1. .Orgers who appear to be idiots online can be really nice in real life.
2. Take more photos (I took 4, 2 of which were blurred!) 3. Get decent waterproofs.... and wear them!! 4. Dont get too pi55ed on Friday night! (Not learned from last year!) 5. Rain is still wet. 6. Wearing a markers bib allows you to ride like an (safe) idiot. 7. SVs do get airborn! 8. I actually do use the back brake even though it wasn't there! 9. BBC is still as much of a loon as ever. Not even a year has mellowed her!! 10. Messies boobage makes for a very comfortable pillow. 11. Chris8886 is very funny when pi55ed. 12. Get the 1st timers to do the rideout. (Well done Matt & Maria) 13. Grinch & Bear don't need to get naked to have fun. 14. Ping, Anna, Coolgirl, KrazyKim and Devil Biccy were all missed but not forgotten. 15. Foxyinleather is a very apt name!! |

Re: lessons learned from AR08 - :D
1 - Don't crash anytime soon before the AR
2 - If you do crash, get replacement bike more than 24 hours before you leave for the AR 3 - Riding on the roof of your car across a wet field when your missus is driving can be hazardous to your health.... Especially if she is a smart R's :silent: Quote:
That's one I DID learn |
