After a tough week last week I could definately do with a lazy evening with you guys. Is anyone keen?

Jon

PS - have added the option of a ride into the poll for those who want to go for a ride first.

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

I'm in... will lead a 45 min ride too if any others fancy it :-)

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

The SV is back and is running nicely. I have had to endure the Dullsville for two weeks in nice weather. I shall be there and I will be up for a ride too. :cool:

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

Just have to double check to see if mr FG1 is coming to pick up a tv i have flogged him first. might see you all there.

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

Jerry, on nights tonight and tomorrow so depends on whats on at work. Don't worry though, I will try my very bestist to collect it asap .......

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

Unless I can get a tyre tomorrow I'll be on the ZZR so not really up for a ride as its still ****ing oil from somewhere and i cant be asked to sort it out at the moment. I don't think I really want to risk riding on this...

Don't you just love Z6's :lol:

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

Well they are good value for money - Mine were legal down until the last 400 miles or so. Try doing that with a tyre that has tread in the middle!

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

Just spoke to Mark at Ride-in and they will have one for me tomorrow morning. I might combine the trip to Reading and the shire trip -Will anyone else be about from 5:30 ish in Reading to ride over to the shire. I can kill some time in McDonalds if needs be :p

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

I'm in for the shire and possible in for the ride. Can we meet earlyish to get the trip going, I need food afterwards!

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

Tsk, we have sandman doing the nick numbers option and nick doing the yes option! What's happened?! :lol:

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

If those up for a ride can get there by 7 then will be back by 7:45 for food..

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

Think My MOT is due yesterday so until I find the paperwork it's a Nick Nmbrs option for me

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

I'm going to try and break my run of non-attendance and be there! I'm on-call with work, so I might have to dash midway through the evening, though!

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

I think I'll raise the tone of the meet by turning up!! :lol:

What time do you guys get to the Shire?

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

You've said that before. [-X

If you turn up before 7 you'll get to do a ride first. I aim to be there for about 6:30.

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

Fair comment! As long as its not p.ing down I'll be there!! :lol:

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

I'll be there...& it'll be the steak. Definitely the steak. Absolutely the steak - so if I forget someone remind me :cool:

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

I may not be there in time for a ride - might have to do a spot of carpet shopping before I head up.

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

Ohh how interesting. That's womens stuff is that.

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

change of plan Mr FG1 picked up the old tv last night and with a pass from my girlfriend i will be there form about 7.30ish give or take.
see you all there.

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

Grrrrrrrrrrrr the wrong tyre has arrived at Ride-In so now the SV won't be back on the raod till thursday. Pants. Will be at the meet then but on the ZZR :-(

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

I have one word to say.

Preparation.

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

Looking forward to tonight. Might even join you guys for a ride seeing as the weather is so nice.

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

I was prepared. Apparently Metzler weren't though.

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

Organising 1 day in advance is not preparation. It's last minute booking. Had you booked the tyre the week before, you would of already known it was the wrong size and have been able to get it changed. Or at least Mark could have.

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

True true. i wasn't expecting the tyre to die quite so dramatically over the weekend. Thought it would be OK until this week. I'd actually spoken to Mark the week before but he didn't have any in so I said to leave until this week. No hard done anyway, I still have something to ride, plus I can get a second opinion about the oil leak from you lot.

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

When mine is getting close to the limit I always ring Mark and get him to put one on the shelf waiting for me. :wink:

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

:notworthy:

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

Indeed. I'll remember that for next time. I'm going to try and persuade him to give me discount on a set for the ZZR as that needs some now too, or will do shortly.

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

Yes I know, I am good. :)

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

Depending on whether I get all my festival packing done this by this eve I'll come along.

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

I wont be leaving work before 6:30 which means I am highly unlikely to be there for the ride. If I'm not, don't wait around for me.

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

I'm a definate no due to being stuck at work.

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

I've just got in from learning about my daughters school trip so I will see you guys at The Rock on Monday or Sunday night at the camp

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

Good to meet you all!!

Thanks Simon, I forgot to say it when I left! :thumbsup:

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

Good to see you again Paul, nice of you to show up! It was fun and warm, my kind of meet. Sorry I had to leave a bit early, I promised the gf that I wouldn't be too long. Thanks for the DVD Tony! I am still trying to get it to work, it seems my codec pack isn't up to the job, just gettting some more...

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

Yep, cheers all.. Nick, is that the dvd of the sunday rideout??

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

It is from Sunday but, it's only the leg from Benson to Aylesbury. And I was at the back all the time.
It was just a little tester as I have recently got the camera.

Nick, after I copied it I just stuck it into my dvd player and it worked ok. Have you tried it in a normal dvd player ???

Re: 10/06/2008 - Shire Horse
 

try vlc player - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ it will play almost anything without the need for external codec packs.
