i thought you were trying to encourage people to come quiff?!

I have made some ace friends on here.. (yea even the southerners)

Some folk I only see once a year but its like they are always around as they are on here.

some you meet and their personality is nothing like on here.. me for example.. I am nice . not the a$$hole I come across as on here.. ..

Many many folk ahve made good good friends on here.. take us.. we are going to France in september on the bikes with Matt Sv and Anita and we didnt know them at all B4 the org .. now we are good friends.. good job he lives 300 miles away though .. but see .. 300 miles and we both make the effort to meet up every few months at least ..

we all have a common interest .. alcohol.. ! no bikes.. - beyond that - yea there are some that you wouldnt pick as mates neccessarily (sp) in your day to day world but that is life.. everyone comes to the Ar to meet friends, feel the love and camaradre (sp) and have a good ride and a laugh on the sat night..

so beg steal or borrow a tent and put yer name down..


I am lucky in that living very central I can make a lot of the rides . AR , GM. Wales etc .. I realise its difficult for the more remote /isolated members. .. mind you look at dear Hovis he attended everything ! and he lived south wales.. so - it can be done.. so do it !


Footnote.. and dont worry if you have not ridden in a big group before.. no one is watching your riding.. you go at your own pace. the ride is not a race it is a steady ,lovely scenic ride and makes you feel alive as hell with all the bikes that YOU are a part of.. .. and the organisation and the briefings and the high viz riders etc make you feel safe as houses.. just be yourself and ride for yourself and .. oohhh its a brill weekend ....bring it on

Do you go to the bus stop on your bike?

I'm sure some of us could meet you there before the AR sometime to just say hi. Would offer to meet up with you on the way to the AR but me and Grunty and a couple others are heading up on the Thursday to start setting up

Well i spose i could pop home, if it all got too much for me!! I havent been out much this year, only just recovered from an operation i had on my foot, but will be getting back into once the weather starts behaving again. Would be good to meet a few at the bus station before hand.

I hope so, im sure i'll find someone. I'm well excited.

nobody worry, you're in no danger of being humped by a huge marauding hound... this year... I hope Gracie isn't too disappointed.

can everyone shut up about the AR now?

Just to back up the original point, I am so gutted I'm not going - it's just brilliant and if it was my only weekend away the whole year, I'd be happy.

I hope you're talking about Kaiser.. That could be read the wrong way.
