I use a tinted pinlock now, can just whip it out if things get bad.
Didnt go that dark, just lashed it down, using left hand as a constant wiper
Dave i suppose thats whats i could do as i have the same, never took it off tbh but watching the numpty fit it cant be more than a 30 sec job.

Anyway, enough derailing

and more people signing up... it's not that far away.

Mike, what happens if the bunkhouse doesn't fill up? Although to be fair there is only 6 spaces left so hopefully wont be a problem.

Kate is very fair and has only charged us once for an unused bed, but that was because someone just did not turn up. That is why I now want money in advance, because then excess charges are covered. I honestly do not know what would happen if no more folks sign up, but I would expect that we would lose the group rate and be charged an extra £2.50 (I think) per night.

I need to confirm numbers by 20th April so they can get the food order right for the weekend and I'll be paying the balance of the charges then. So far money received does not cover the deposit.

I'm sure the bunkhouse will fill up.

It's possibly the best weekends riding you can do.

We'll not change anything on our bike, but I always carry my spare visor and have recovery. Luckily our bike is nice n'discrete and we adhere to all the laws of the land.

I know, I'll have to come up with another excuse soon, David

Do you think " Lissa doesn't want me to ride like I used to" sounds plausible?
