Let's not forget the Raptor Chapter annual meet ups that hardly any of us turn up with an actual bike. Apart from you...or occasionally me.
I'm pretty sure Julie would put us all up in her fields, but not sure her facilities could cope with a much larger number. But she is still there ... That's if the pub is still open.
There is the Buell Red Lion hotel that caters for large camping numbers though.

It's if anyone can feel they can get to almost Skegness to meet up!

She starts, which is pretty surprising after two years.
Wether I can actually maintain any sort of stamina for more than a trip to the MOT station, is questionable, or being able to carry a lid on my head. That and getting into a pair of bike pants.

I noticed Becks online earlier (Dangerous Dave's Widow) I wonder how she's getting on
Maybe DD's ghost will pop into the thread for a virtual brew...or perhaps we will find out he survived afterall

Flipping heck, it's like I've been transported back to 2008 or something.

I've been clearing the shed out today.
Just found my yellow SV mug that Stewie sent me.
The things you find and the memories you get from them

Like the great big AR11 cake marquee that's been hiding in a corner with a load of bike parts sat on it.

Trying to find it a new home. Lol
