Great memories and funny moments of the AR
 

- Dan and his supicious sending out of SV bits that never seem to arrive

- Having to bump start Si up a hill in front of traffic (thanks whoever stopped them and whoever helped me!)

- Finding a chip in my boot at the seaside *suspicious*

- TANKS! There are tanks on the left!!

- Coming down the hill with the castle in full view

- Pete and Lissa thundering past; best exhaust ever.

- Lunging, singing, dancing markers at every junction. Couldn't stop myself waving at them all each time!

- Nodding biker guy going past us hahaha :lol:

Re: Great memories and funny moments of the AR

Re: Great memories and funny moments of the AR

Hovis TV on the Sunday morning, whatching him stagger back to his tent, classic!!

Re: Great memories and funny moments of the AR
 

Er I think that was me.... great fun though ,all part of the AR experience :p

Re: Great memories and funny moments of the AR
 

The markers were very funny, best marking ever ;)

Watching Stu overtake on the white line and running over a dead bird and decapitating it, must check video for it.

Riding through all the villages and towns and seeing everyone watching with mouths wide open and waving at us. Was great and especially as it was a positive experience for them as well as us.

Apart from the whole event being superb......

The fact that my other half managed to MOT the Raptor on Friday morning, and Suzy spitting her dummy out, telling me herself she was too ill to travel, and myself getting the bottom lip out over taking the black SV instead

Me worrying over and over about Matt getting there with the knackered hip.

Rictus, keeping me going on MSN, as my head was battered with worry..I love Rictus to pieces, and I thought I was going to cry when I saw him on arrival. Such a huge big hug we had. Thanks to him, and much hugs, also to Soulkiss, Stewie, Alpinestarshero for also being there over the week previous, you all contributed to getting me to the AR, as on Thursday I almost didn't go

The whole AR was one big memory, we didn't do the rideout, but next year you will alll be deafened by the return of Im Indoors

Re: Great memories and funny moments of the AR
 

Ah DB you made me laugh, giggle and be very silly, Im not coming near you for a loing time?
I need a very long sleep

Re: Great memories and funny moments of the AR
 

Seeing dizzy get deafend by the raptor:D

Re: Great memories and funny moments of the AR
 

You were a peach. What a super guy!! a helicopter to an airport instead of a taxi so's not to miss the plane!! Thats dedication. Maybe one day we'll meet again....look forward to it
Note to self....never...never...ever..... stick your head under your seat to bungee stuff down, as Im Indoors might start up the Raptor right next to your right ear.......

Seeing the grins on peoples faces when I handed them a can of beer as they were getting off their bikes.

A field full of smiley faces even though it was raining.

Sitting at the front of a pack of 70 odd bikes and then realising there was a police car in front of me.

Sitting at the back of a pack of bikes watching everybody in front of me exploring new roads.

Seeing the smiles in everybodies eyes as they rode past me whilst I waited to get on the back of the pack after the last fuel stop.

Getting p*ssed with some old friends and making some new ones.

The huge feeling of relief that the weekend had gone fantastically well, even better than I had hoped it would

The sheer number of people that took the time to come and say thank you.

Re: Great memories and funny moments of the AR
 

Here are my greatest memories and moments of the AR-

- Meeting my long lost twin, was a pleasure and it is good to know that my geneology is superb at organising stuff. :D

- Sosha thanking me for the can of larger and the side stand puck. :smt021

- Meeting all the new peeps I hadn't seen and also seeing old faces and friends again.

- Hovis......enough said. :-P:smt042:rolleyes::D;)

- Seeing the effect that orgers have on the new and slightly shy members. (Wideboy for one. Was very nervous, but after the Carling on Saturday.....different boy altogether)

- All those who made the effort to turn up though they didn't do the ride.

- Finally, my favourite moment of the AR was the fact that we all had fun, all smiled and all came away feeling better for it.

Just remembered an epic fail on the M6 on the way home
Picture this.....

4x4 has left the mway, missed the hard shoulder, and half way up the embankment.

Next to it is a tree

At the other side of the tree there is his caravan, upside down, with the back door open and all his belongings hanging out.

It made us all snigger profusely, great driving on the guys part, for getting the car right way up, but the caravan:smt077, .....there was way tooooo many of them on the road anyway!

Re: Great memories and funny moments of the AR
 

Many memorable moments if it wasn't for my mushy old brain muddling things up and forgetting vital facts!

I'm assured I had a good weekend though so thanks to ALL those involved in organising and running the AR, and to all those who turned up, without you all I'd have had to enjure Kate to myself all weekend!!!

*runs and hides somewhere she'll never find me!*

Re: Great memories and funny moments of the AR
 

saw that - was a battered old caravan - real real old- wondered if it was an insurance job- ha

Re: Great memories and funny moments of the AR
 

Forgot about that. Didn't realise caravanning was such an extreme and dangerous pastime :D

Re: Great memories and funny moments of the AR
 

Haha no way! It's understandable though, I was very hesitant in addressing either of you for fear of making that mistake!

Re: Great memories and funny moments of the AR
 

When we were all in the BBQ tent and these little people appeared, so I gathered some up and pushed in the queue, so they would get fed first....a mum can never switch off!!
Also there was rather a lot of big people in there, so I spent a while talking to Gid Junior, who kept looking up at all these long legged people with a frown, its rather strange staring at the backs of peoples knees. He was a lovely kid, in fact all the kids were very well behaved, super all of them, and how cute was Tiny Gid, she was soooo cute

Re: Great memories and funny moments of the AR
 

just thought of another........

the look on lilys face when i said "shut it you slaaaaaaag" for the first time.

sorry

Re: Great memories and funny moments of the AR
 

:D

Re: Great memories and funny moments of the AR
 

dizzyblonde thank you for making me and the kids feel welcome. I was feeling left out at one point and well, just thanks for doing that for my kids. much appreciated .ta hope to meet you again soon. hopefully no kids though ,didn't get to talk to many peeps, as had to get the kids to bed. or just felt a little wet and cold and i am so shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyy.

Re: Great memories and funny moments of the AR
 

I think there were quite a few people that suffered this. I know I do and thats why I hid by my tent and only really spoke to people that came to say hello. I'm an ars* for missing opportunities to meet new friends because of my shyness.

I promise to come say hello next year. :lol:
