Anyone up for a ride down the A127 (hardly thrilling I know)
A few East anglian/Essex folk are threatening to show up.

I figured 12ish so meet up 11:30, just trying to find if a certain cafe I know is still open Sundays, if not maybe High Beach?

I would love to join you but I'm on Heathrow collection duty at 6.20 AM...Say nothing - I think I might just camp there the night before...

Eat at least three bags of chips for me - and plenty of ice cream too...

Sorry I won't be there - next time we both ought to be on two wheels as the Triumph street triple arrives next month - hurrah!!!!!

Slob, there is a little more exciting route going through Stock off the A12, past Hanningfield revs. out to Battlesbridge, through to Rochford and out to the sea front. We took that way a year or so back.

Problems with insurance documents mean I can't tax my V eHIckle so I decided to come by car anyway, bringing Paranoid Dave and His Good Lady so see you at Baileys.

A turnout of 12 bikes I think was bloomin' good.
Well done to everyone who made it down and to seeing new faces for me too.

Your bike is very quiet Jim. You'll have to do something about that.

There's an insurance cheque following my car accident (Last year) clearing this week that I believe is destined to be spent on more noise! :)

Nice, the best possible use for it.
Have a look at Silmoto, Marving exhausts, cheaper than Termi's but sound great too.
