TVSF Meet- Tuesday 08/01/08 Shire Horse

I was thinkin of gettin there about 6:30. Will anyone else be there then? If not, I'll aim for about 7.

Warthog won't be coming, I've just had an email from him, he's jet lagged and has loads of unpacking etc to do.

Ok i'll aim to be there for around 7 then.

I've been delayed at work. I'm last to leave so have to go through a rather laborious lock up sequence before I can leave. I'll probably be there some time around 7.30 ish.

Or not. Grrrr

What happened?!

yeah ape man what happened? was a good night i thought only bout 5 ppl were gonna turn up. soz to the guy on blue pointy.....forgotten ur name lol for my pathic wheelie i tried to pull but yeah it was wet...

hehe.. gather it wasn't quite as good as your movie clip then

Really nice eve and great to get to chat to some of yous

Nothing too serious. Had a car turn across my path whilst I was in the bus lane. Car came through a line of stationary cars. My fault as I should have been expecting it and looking out for just that instance.

Anyway car realises what they have done and slams on the brakes leaving me no where to go. I hit the passenger car door causing a dent in it. Nowt wrong with the Dullsville.

But the driver seemed to think I was a fault. First telling me I shouldn't have been in bus lane and then when I pointed out motorcycles were permitted and showed him the sign, he changed his tactic as said I was speeding.

I said we would let the insurance company decide who was at fault and requested we change insurance details or at least names and addresses so I could be on my way. He said I would have to wait for the police as there had been an injury to his passenger. WTF. I must have hit the car about 5 mph.

So that's why I didn't make it. I had to wait for the police to turn up (which took them half an hour) another pointless 30 minutes wasted giving statements. The one copper apologised for my delay and said the driver of the car was obviously a bloody idiot that doesn't know anything about anything. The passenger was suffering from a sore neck. Yeah right. Hope the driver doesn't go round corners too fast otherwise her neck might just snap off.

Shame, but as much as I looked, I couldn't find anything wrong with the bike at all. I'm not even sure if I 'fell off' it, there would have been any damage. Those Dullsville's are built of stern stuff you know.

After all the hassle I decided to go home instead. Soz.

Decent meet....Warthog should come less often as he seems to keep the women away.

Nice to meet flibble(yes i've forgotten your name).

Shame the ape didnt attend. Hell FB even made it there!

As a final thought, i would like to explode the myth that the shirehorse cooks good steak.....that was pretty poor.
