That reason's been suggested before but I'm more inclined to think it's because a) there's hardly anybody reading or posting here anymore, and b) the ones that do are a bunch of namby-pamby wasters.

With pigtails in their hair.

Except for FG1, who can only dream, etc.

Oi,enough of the pigtail jokes

I like my hair

I work in Hook now but still live in Oxford, so I'm riding 100miles a day already. The thought of MORE at this time of year is just not good, particularly because my heated gloves have packed in. Ouch, not nice.

When the sun comesout again i will resurrect the fireblade, so might be more inclined to play further from home. The ZZR is thqat dirtythat even i might be embassised to turn up on it... maybe not, but it'sanother excuse.

In answer to the original question. Firstly I have moved. Three times in fact and now live in Amesbury. Work in Hook. It's not exactly a local meet for me anymore. On top of that it is by far cheaper for me to drive the car than ride the bike to work and the time difference (doing legal speeds) between the car and the bike is negligible. Says it all really. The other consideration is the time people arrive at the Shire. I finish work at 3.15. I'm not going to the Shire to sit there for at least two hours waiting for someone else to arrive.

So thats why I don't go to the meets anymore.
