No thanks for me.....Mogs did all the planning, maps, etc.

The guy on the bike that used to be a yellow Hornet before he started modding it is Chris from Brynmawr, known as "Injector" on the Nest

There weren't as many Hornets as I'd have liked, but they are not as common as SVs

Not sure that VB had as much fun as the rest of us, as he was worried about his bike. Still it wouldn't be a rideout unless he took it bits at least once, eh?

Like I said, I'll post my piccies, including the one of Mogs' humungous lunchtime burger, tomorrow. They need resizing and I'm too tired atm.

Mogs..........THANK YOU

Okay....just one picture for now.......Mogs' lunchtime snack.

Whilst most of us were modest in our choices, Mogs went for the "Double Burger", claiming surprise when it arrived. "How was I to know there would be two burgers?" he said.

Yeah......right

Thanks for the rideout - a good time was certainly had by me ...I don't know about everyone having somebody to ride home with...I got onto the M5 and was surrounded by cars and stuff...not a bike in sight

BUT even though some goon in a purple shed tried to take me out less than a mile than home (he even had the audacity to honk his horn - I feigned deafness), I still got home in one piece with a smile on my face that would put a cheshire cat to shame. Cheers guys...great putting faces to names...and avatars!!

Back home now all safe.

Mogs AND Jabba, thanks both for a wonderful days rideout. Everything worked well although the route was midified a tad by some loon on the red one who led a slightly different route to the big bang burger bar for lunch. Darn fine fun.

Thanks to the yellow Hornet for leading back, I needed a rest. I'd have taken the same route as I saw no indication for the road we wanted and stuck to the one that went the right way.

Some interesting mix ups at the end but we all had a fun time (even VB).

Will post some pix tomorrow.

Thanks again Mogs. Top job mate

back home.. Marc's gone back to his parents.. absolutley shattered.. think we covered in excess of 360 miles today

got bike back home, and moving it about was noisy no slack on chain what so ever.... tight as hell! so that may have been a cause of my problems today, though I had checked it several times during the day.. I think it somehow managed to adjust itself at somepoint..

something to play with when I wake up tomorrow



nice meeting a few people, and posibly the last time we will see Anna for quite a while :P

Thanks to those who arranged it.... when can we go back for more burgers ??




Im serious! :P

As above , a really nice rideout, big thanks to Mogs for making it happen.

I've posted my pictures in the photos section here.

Glad you all had a good time sorry I didnt make it. Lovely day for it.

Excellent burger, where's the location and name of the vendor?
