Was good to meet everyone, pity the weather wasnt great, but at least it was dry for the first bit!

Sorry I chipped off early, but realised I had less than an hour to get back!

Just after I left you it poured with rain all the way home and I got soaked! Couldnt be bothered to stop and put the wet weather gear on so 50 minutes of riding in the rain left my leathers rather water logged!

Hope everyone got back safe! Here are some pics...

Meeting place on the A10

The pub car park, 2mnths and new leafs SVs and the two Kwaks...

Davy and Bigbaddads black curvies...

I'm home at last !!!

I had been warned by Paws about the tendancy of SV650s to turn into S325s in the rain and I have now personally experianced it. It's not an experiance I'd recommend. Still at least I knew what it was and was able to fix it courtesy of the bikes tool kit, some bog roll and some scraped knuckles.

Thanks for organising it BigBadDad and a thanks to those others of you who braved the elements to make today what it was (other than wet).

Behind my ears one was of the few places that wasn't wet on this occasion.

I done some piccys too...

A picture of the only pointy to attend! Oh and some peeps too.

Sunny Hunny - apparently.

I'd brougth some shorts in case it the sun did shine. Sadly this was as close as I got to wearing them.

I thought I'd post some pics of the culprits too...

The man responsible BigBadDad, Mr "I don't like my photo taken" aka Skip, non .org-er Carl, New Leaf, Davy and since I've embarressed them all I included a silly one of me in my lurvely waterproof trousers.

Well, I'd waterproofed my leathers n boots n everything Saturday afternoon in preparation...

... but it was a definate get up, stand up, fall over day come Sunday morning.

Miserable looking weather, but happy looking bikers - cool to see.
