MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

As with other rideouts, thought I'd try & keep banter & chat out of the proper rideout thread, hope that's ok mods?

Woo! I'm officially excited now, my first big .Org rideout of 2009 is only a week away! :D

Ed I hope you've ordered plenty of sunshine for next Saturday!! :wink:

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

Wahey, will be good to see you again andy. Your first of the season and my last!!! LOL

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

Why your last? I saw your message about it being your last on the SV on the other thread - I'm confused.com :confused:

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

Selling the SV late august, and with the wedding etc going on it's going to be too hectic for anytime on the bike. TBH I've fallen a little out of love with it now that I don't commute.

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

Oh noes! Sorry to hear that mate. Will have to make the most of this rideout then...

Special time? :lol:

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

Of course, your more than welcome, we are only bout 45 mind from the start.

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

I think I've missed something... :scratch: - are you meaning the friday night? I could be up for that if you fancy having a couple of beers or something?

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

did some one mention BEER?


count me in.

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

Yeah, thought you could cone down Friday night, few quiet drinks and will cook (well, lily will). May have loan wolf staying also.

:smt103

oh dear.:smt007

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

Sounds good, count me in! :D

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

yeah...... you might be able to keep up then;)

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

Still undecided whether to come to this or not. Either i come along and dash off to work after Bridgenorth, come along and forget work, or just don't come along and tell work i'll definately be there...

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

Where and what time is work?

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

You can do the ride & get to work. Come on Binky, prove that your Hard Core :D

Think I'll be departing the ride from Bridgenorth.

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

If people have to get back - then we can shorten the lunch stop a bit. We can also go up the main road (A49) from Leominster to Ludlow. It's a bit boring but it would be a lot quicker.

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

I was thinking of shooting from bridgnorth too as makes no sense for us to go back to shrewsbury.

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

Yep i'll be leaving at Bridgenorth too.

Work is in Nottingham at 6. So i should be fine. :rolleyes:

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

is it this weekend?

as its a bit quiet?

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

Yup, tis this weekend.

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

I`ve had to pull out of this weekends activities on this and the Thundersprint . I got a very sick Doggy here and am going nowhere til she is sorted :(

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

I've gotta pull out of this i'm sorry :( i've got a day's work which i really can't turn down as some might now. Still waiting on that first rideout.

Check the forecast aswell... doesn't look pretty.

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

Just checked and according to both Metcheck and BBC there will be light showers only........so decent enough weather, only downside is that it is due to be a little cooler.

Sorry you can't make it, I'm sure you will get on a rideout soon enough.

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

Ah that's good... sorry i just looked at telford and it says heavy showers so i was worried but that's okay :) HF.

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

It's only a bit of rain FFS:rolleyes:

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

LILLY.............

PLEASE KEEP DREW AWAY FROM ANY WEATHER FORCAST TYPE DEVICES

lol

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

It's feckin' windy here at the moment! Should make for an interesting ride down this evening :lol:

Leathers or textiles then people, what do we reckon? ;)

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

leathers

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

I'm trying to but i can't control what he does at work....


I'm pooing myself about the wedding..... what happens if it starts to look like it will rain! ;)

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

leathers

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

Textiles, it's gonna be rough when I set out. BUT if I look out the window and it's fine, leathers.

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

Forecast is sun and showers, but if you play the cloud movement thingy on the bottom of the BBC weather page, we will escape the wet stuff.

I don't think there's anything to worry about!!! Anyway the route is a lot tamer than Barmouth - no mountain tops - but it could be a bit windy on the A44, it's fairly exposed.

For those that don't know, there is a double hairpin on the A44, just before the turn for the A487 to Builth Wells. Extreme caution needed!!!!! Last time I went round it I saw an off. The A44 is very very twisty, but fast - apart from the hairpins. The other roads are not quite so twisty, but a joy to ride nonetheless.

We are meeting at Shrewsbury Services - junction of A5 and A49 on the SOUTH side of S'bury - on the Barmouth trip some thought I meant the north side of town and we missed them. Come into the services, turn into the Esso fuel station, and across the forecourt is a large parking area - we meet there, OK?

See you all tomorrow!!!!!

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

You'll be un-married! :p

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

Pfffffff!!!!! Get married in textiles

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

Still bright and sunny here in Shrewsbury:D

Not had a drop of rain all day:D

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

enjoy the ride guys and girls, wish i could make it, have fun and wish you all a safe ride

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

Spoke to Drew earlier this evening. TLW, who was stopping with him, had an off:( - he's OK, maybe busted finger and a cut or two, but deffo walking wounded, thankfully. I spoke to Mark - he was in very good spirits seeing his P&J had hit the kerb and cartwheeled into a ditch. He was about to go to A&E. Not quite sure what happened, no doubt Mark will be on tomorrow to post up. I was so looking forward to meeting him too:(

Heal up soon, Mark!!

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

Holy crap batman! At least the boy is OK. Oh that lovely new Trumpet! Best wishes Mark.

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

Jesus Wolf , hope everything is ok , that isn`t good .

Re: MM2 random thingummybob thread
 

OMG that`s a shock!!!! thank god he`s ok and if you speak to him again please pass on my best wishes
