Wahoo, the DRZ passed its mot, managed to get home on reserve fuel, running on fumes in the end, too lazy to fill up as garages are packed by me at this time of the day.
I may be able to finish early tomorrow, if you guys wanted to meet up before the waterman.

I'm up for tomorrow afternoon too. Just been on the phone with Phil (sorry, Phil, just looked at the time at the end of the call there, once I start talking I don't shut up!) and agreed to hatch a plan, but not quite got as far as hatching one.

So I'll be free from about 2:30pm onwards. Mike finishes work at 3pm. Phil is free in the afternoon too. Dave, being a student I assume you'll just be getting out of bed about that time? ;)

Mike where do you work, and will you come straight from work? Or do you need to go home and change and pick up the bike? What sort of time will you be in leathers, on the bike and able to meet up?

Assuming Mike is coming from Loughborough direction, why don't we do this route and pick him up on the way.

Meeting at the Plough Inn in Shustoke at 2:45, click linky here

Then doing this route via Midlands Superbikes for a coffee and back into the Waterman.

What does everyone think? The Melton Mowbray to Market Harborough road is supposed to be ace!

Col, no problem about the time of the call mate, i dont go to bed most nights until 12 ish.

I would prefer tbh a lower mileage ride tomorrow as my shoulder is still giving me ****, got some heavy lifting to do on Thursday as well so dont wanna knacker myself up for that (god i do some complaining ;))
Not sure i can manage 100 + miles without stopping 4 times at least ;).

Phil
