Five minutes of fame, Oxford 15th April

Hey, height means nothing whilst horizontal

Nothing wrong with being short apart from when the camber of the road changes and I can't get my foot on the floor, the top shelf in the store which I climbed up now before and rock gigs casuse r u lanky lot insist in standing in front of me.

Wrap up warm people, it's nippy out there this morning

Nice to meet the new people and catch up with those I know. Was abit of anti-clmaix however good fun, got home a little while back....we need more days like this for riding our bikes!

Have you been speaking to my other half?

Yep, there's only so much excitement one can generate from a 60mph dawdle down the M40 from Oxford to London, but the sheer scale of the thing was quite impressive. Guestimate a couple of hundred bikes totally swamped the motorway all the way down, and because everyone had to go at about 60 (can't break teh law on television now can you, that and Boorman was riding a bonebreaking oil spilling decrepit bike - or "classic" to those in the know) we formed an impenetrable rolling road block all the way from Ox to London The odd sales-rep that got caught up in it (and doubtless the countless thousands caught behind it) must have been royally pee'd off "Bloomin bikers, never break the speed limit, always riding at sensible speeds..."

Some very nice bikes on show tho, and some *extremely* loud ones

was a good lil ride done bout 140 all in all......good to put faces to names.

thought things might of lasted bit longer at ace cafe but hey lol.

Its was nice to meet you new guys, shame I just had to go to work straight afterwards! Now to see you at some proper meet ups !

i was there too! saw quite a few SVs

got right to the front on the motorway was pritty awsome!

anyone got any pics? i didnt bother getting anything signed my friend did tho...

Teehee - we ARE famous after all - http://www.oxfordmail.net/news/headl..._epic_trip.php

As predicted, the comments are a hoot

"When they are not speeding they think they have the right to clog up the M40 with a convoy – such is the arrogance of some bikers"

Wish I'd been able to go.


Comments are funny on the news item, apparently we're all thick and can't understand long words like........ errrm what was it?

Poor car drivers, have to try and impress us somehow!
