Great Bentley!

[benson]

Right then - for fear of putting the kiss of death on the event weather wise who fancies a run out to Great Bentley next Wedmesday? Burger van, lots of other bikes and a goodly few monsters perhaps??? Come on - you know you want to!!!!! It's between Clacton and Colchester - will find a map somewhere - Moley? Jill? BigNJ? PD? :cool: :cool: :cool:

[bignj]

Is that the 24th? Weather depending, I'll be there!

[Spud]

Could be tempted, especially if weather plays ball

[jill]

Benson

I'll 'ave a go - depending on the postman delivering bits of monster from around Europe and my boyfriend putting it all back together.

I really need to get some miles in before the track day.

Try this for maps: http://maps.google.co.uk/

[benson]

Next Wednesday the 24th let's give it a go then! :thumbsup:

Jill - steal your boyfriend's' bike if you have to!!!:p

I'll be coming from North london so reckon on the A12 for me really - probably won't have time for a nice road - hope to see some of you there,

Rachel:thumbsup:

Jill - steal your boyfriend's' bike if you have to!!!:p



N-E-V-E-R G-O-N-N-A H-A-P-P-E-N!!! :rolleyes: I'm not even allowed to push it out of the garage!

I'm sure he'll be with me though; can't shake my minders! In fact, I might bring the minders anyway, if that's OK. I might have to if I don't have the Monster ready!

Benson, you don't mind a few miles do you?! I'll prob do the A12 too. The back roads are pretty rough up to Colchester.

[Paranoid Dave]

:( think i'll miss this one.

[benson]

The more the merrier!!!! yes I do quite a few miles all in all - but if the weather's good then any excuse to be out on the bikes!!!

Sorry you'll miss it PD - I'd forgotten all those nights you 're doing of late!

See you soon though

[Paranoid Dave]

i think if i'm lucky i'll get 1 or 2 nights a week off, but i can't always pick and choose. Maybe there in a couple of months or so?

[benson]

Good - if it is a regular Wednesday then I'm sure we'll get to meet up before too long!!!

[abbeyalto]

Wednesday's my day off! If I get poor mashed up Odd-job back from Ray by then, I'll be there!

(I won't want the embarrassment of heading out there on the Bandit 650 I've got for the next week or so - who cares if it's fast, comfy and does more than 80 miles to a tank if the gearbox, brakes and throttle are made of moss?!)

If there's anyone around here that works weird hours like me, please speak up! It's annoying that I have to miss all the top meets because of working weekends... I usually get every Wednesday and every other Monday off.

[benson]

Good news Benjy!!! Assume that Ray at Rosso Corse has your baby then??? top bloke - and Marcus too - where would I be without them!!!:thumbsup:

YES BUT IT'LL MAKE YOU DEAF!!!

[STU65]

I can't make Wednesday for a while studying and all that. Once terms finished I'll be there. Not long now.

I hope the weather stays fine for you all.

[benson]

Cheers Stu - what you studying then???

[Bodybag]

I'll be doing that nasty boring road too. Fancy meeting up somewhere? I'll be coming out from Westminster.

[Moley]

Will be there unless the weather is a complete no no.

[benson]

Happy to meet up somewhere en route - the fox at rivenhall maybe??? Not sure what time I'll be able to escape tho...

[Moley]

Leave it to the day if you wish Benson. If you can leave early the 'pretty route' may be best or happy to meet at the Fox at Rivenhall on the A12 if you are tight for time.

[benson]

Thanks Moley - hope to see you next week!

[abbeyalto]

Just spoke to Ray at Rosso Corse again: he reckons I'll have Oddjob back by the beginning of next week! What's the pretty route? I've got loads of time that day...

Hi Benson, saw your post in the suffolk region about Gt Bentley.
sounds great, would give me a chance to meet some of you guys. Has a meeting point been agreed? I now where Gt Bentley is if thats of any help!

[Moley]

Just an alternative from the A12. Through the back roads from Chelmsford to Heybridge Maldon, Tiptree, Colchester etc. Just take a glance at the map. Some lovely buildings and countryside.
Essex has a lot to offer and thankfully it's still a secret.

[benson]

Hi Moley and White - that sounds grand - I will more than likely get stuck at work so head off without me and if you let me have mobile numbers I'll text you when I'm there!!!

Mine is 07973 449 354

[Moley]

Benson,
It looks like I will not be able to get away too early on Wednesday myself.
Roughly what time do you think you will be along the A12?
I will PM my mobile number.

[Spud]

Just been checking diary, and I think I'll definately be there. I've never been to the meet, but my mate lives round the corner so i have a rough idea of where it is.

Any other Cambs heroes up for it?

[Grumpy]

hi Benson, me No is 07841 974465, my S4 is still sick so look for the green guzzi!!:) :)

[benson]

Hi folks - if the weather is doing what it's doing then I doubt I'll be up for a 90 minute rde after work on Wednesday - I am beginning to think I need to grow webbed fingers at this rate!!! Meanwhile keep everything crossed for a decent revival of spring time!

[benson]

Sorry folks - won't make tonight - have been called to a late meeting that won't end until 7.30 so it'd be dark by the time I get there!!!
Enjoy if you get there!!!!!

[jill]

Due to the ongoing saga of exhaust, rear sets, broken brake switch etc, my bike is still in bits in the garage, so I can't make it today either.:rolleyes:

Have fun if you can go.

See you at the next one...

Jill

[benson]

hope your bike gets better soon Jill!

[Moley]

Hi Folks,
Sorry cant make it tonight myself unfortunately.

[benson]

Well I suppose the question is - did anyone make it??? I got in about 8 and by then the rain was so heavy I just wanted to get into a hot bath - I mean - is this May or Nopvember????:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

IF the weather isn't too vile on Saturday I'll be heading to DWR for the open day but it is weather dependent - if anyone fancies coming too I'll be leaving lunchtime ish.....

Take care and here's to goretex,

Rachel
:chuckle:

[Bodybag]

I looked at the weather and then decided that I couldn't justify going to Colchester when I'd then have another 2.5 hours on the bike to get to Leicester!! Maybe next time.

[Spud]

At the point I was leaving, and I couldn't hear the bike running over the noise of the rain hitting the garage roof, I decided (call me a lightweight) that I didn't want to go anymore!

[bignj]

No didn't go either, had a bit of a sulk and then went to watch The Da Vinci Code. It's an ok movie.

Lets hope the weather sorts itself out for next week!
