Got home about 8ish, absolutely knackered, but having had a great day. The ride over was eventful, what with Matt & Pat (sounds like an 80's pop duo) both running out of fuel within a mile of each other. Riding back up the B4391 with a jerry can full of unleaded balanced on the tank was interesting
![]() Glad we arrived late and missed Borat's entrance, but glad we made it to see the raftees last run ![]() Thanks Mike and Clare for the hospitality and a great BBQ, those views from your house are amazing Mike ![]() Pat - that pic of the bloke on the Kwak looking at you bike is well funny ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by DMC; 24-08-08 at 09:06 PM. |
