Magic moment.

From leaving home in the sun, to getting back in the sun with the odd bit of rain, it was all magic;

Bbq cookers, beer offers, tent putting up offers, free lilt, being told I looked 12, the full moon coming back from the bar at silly am Saturday, Saturday's bbq atmosphere, toasting session with Plowsie, getting my front cylinder back coming out of Grassington after losing the home made fenda extenda, ride back with Mac99, and all the things that are a little hazy in my mind.

So it was all great. (Apart from waking up Sunday morning and feeling like death).

Bear marking his territory.

Riding with an 'old' MoFo again.

The discussion between me and Mac99 as he convinced me that we were now on the wrong road and the little talk Sid gave me when we got back to the group.

The rain on the rideout and not caring about it cause I was having a laugh.

Quiff waving to us as we carried on down the M6 to home.


Cheers all!

did the sight of me on the bridge make you laff??

thats why I blasted off and filtered fast I wanted to raise a smile..

Marking the last roundabout, having the few front-runners pass me and assuming I had a safe 5 minutes for a slash, only to have the ENTIRE org ride past beeping horns and waving...

Playing the new game ping and i invented where I try to hug her, and she tries to fend me off with a very large stick...

Hugging Kim, Cazza and Ping all weekend

The mist across the cow field at 5am on Saturday Morning when we came back from the bar

Getting up 3 hours later to mark a ride out on a route I didn't know, in the rain, with a hangover, and a screw in my back tyre... hastily and professionally mended by Mr Sid Squid

Jesters mum's scones: Yummy Mummy!

Chasing a semi clad grinch across a field in the rain

The hour or so's stoned planning that it took to come up with the plan to chase grinch across the field...

Verna buying me loads of BBQ food and then being worried it wasn't enough, her concern was touching!

Quality time spent with everyone, meeting Skip, (top bloke) and generally spending time amongst strangers that I know so well!

Love you all, pretty sure I shouted at most of you in a drunken or instructional way, but spoke to fewer than I would have liked. Better luck next year!

Did it ever.. If only we had some sort of mounting device on the bike for camera's

Seriously, that made the motorway journey worth it, cheers for the giggle

Coming back from teh bogs at 4.30 in the morning and finding 21Quest still stood up warming his hands by the barbeque. "EVERYONE ELSE HAS GONE TO BED" "What? Really?"

Yeah, I basically can't do it at all, too uncoordinated Can do a wee bit but definately not when I'm bladdered. But I helped train about 40 people for the beltane fire festival and was in a fringe show that had a lot of them in, so I can still boss people around on the subject

Similar thing - my Dad cant swim, but taught me how to - and I was quite good at it as a kid (medals and trophies and everything)

Just thought of a couple more M Moments

Bears face on arrival at the Ace Cafe when he spotted a, my hair and b, my SV in the car park. He danced a little jig!

The Soho crowd enjoying my Mums scones in relative sunshine in the back garden. Yummy.

Sid Squid shaking my hand at the end of the M1 run saying "Nice to ride with someone who knows how to deal with traffic!"
And I thought he was coming over to tell me off for going too fast!

Anna and Jambo looking sooooo fat in their waterproofs!

The 2 kids in Morrisons carpark looking on in awe as we left, and jumping when I let rip in neutral!

Sudoxe making it to the site without his luggage falling off! It was scary following you dude!

The back road to Keasdon was just stunning and the scenery was beautiful.

TSM always finding a wall/post to lean his poor dented Trumpet.

KrazyKim for having the most filthy mind I've ever met!

Sid Squid being ever so diplomatic with the camp site owner on arrival. You'd never guess he used to be a courier!

Anna for making it after being so pi$$ed off that she wasn't going!

Treacle missing the M1 junction and missing the pull over just before Clitheroe. Check your brakes dude!!

TSM rummaging for tools in my Dads garage to sort his ever so slightly loose chain!

I'm sure there are many more as well.

The main MM was the freindship and enjoyment had by all in a damp field in some of the best scenery in the country!! Superb!

I'm really sad that I missed this!
All packed and on my way, then the bl**dy thing died
Ended up on the back of an AA van at 1am Sat morning
Took the bike to bits Sat and couldn't find anything wrong with it!

Just thought of one more.

Singing the Harmonies to Serveral Power Ballards in the Bar late on Sat night/Sun Morning.
