Saturday - Taking Sarah's Ex-hubbie to collect his new bike a GSX1400FE (I know, you have no idea how hard I have tried to get him to buy a Ducati) It's the bike he has dreamed of owning since they were first released.
Sunday - Heading over to Bury St Edmunds via some lovely little twisty roads for the Bury Bike Show with (hopefully ) a few like minded Monsterers who turn up in Newmarket Sunday morning

Beautiful region, some nice authentic French towns with great old buildings. Even went to see Millau Bridge, very impressive, got some fairly ok camera shots. Great Food, Great Wine and Great company.

I've just about got away with it on previous couple of trips, but it's always a concern :(

Curry for breakfast, lunch and dinner is always a challenge too.

I'll take some video of the traffic while I'm there for you guys. It's cRaZy.

Oh yes, MotoGP this weekend too :thumbsup:

Also looking forward to iPhone/Apple announcements, and new Coldplay album next week - but I digress...

Pick up the new bike tomorrow, spend the rest of saturday with beer and a spanner on said bike, refit the rear sets to the monster, drink some more - and go listen me some jazz at my fav bar, moto gp on sunday and I think i'll have my sister and some friends over and cook them a roast lunch.

It's definatly a woo hoo!

Mr Baldry........I'm working over your way soon - I'll come over on the bike and shout ya about it.

Halina, Squiffy, sadbiker, Snips, NB, BY, in fact everyone have a fantastic weekend - I'm gonna make the most of mine :)

Markus Forget about Sunday lunch with your Sister get on one of the bikes, head on over to Newmarket and join us for the ride-in and the Show. It would be good to meet up with you.

Yes, I had that particular treat yesterday with my daughter - second dress she tried on, result! My boy's prom is the same evening and cuts a fine jib in a suit I must say!

Next week, we will be mainly shopping for shoes. <sigh>

This weekend, I will be mostly going up north on the Monster - can't wait. There may be a possible trip to North Wales too.

Halina - hope you manage to get plenty of practice, relax and enjoy.

Had a word with the Green King Rep organising it all and whilst they are not providing a big screen one or two of the Dealers are having large TV screens set up to have it playing so opportunities to watch are there

Might go for a spin on Sunday - probably with kids on the back (one on the back of me, one of the back of the wife (SV650).
So it'll be a steady one.
Then Lysley Arms Chippenham Monday night.

Do yourself a favour and put the shed on hold ;)

It'll be good to see you at the Oakdene cafe for the Kent meet Sunday

May even be the option for a bimble somewhere?

Lol, nice try - its going to be a great day for riding too. In the event I actually got the shed/garden pretty much done today (footie was cancelled). I'm going down to Bexhill in the morning (very early) to see a Daytona (a neighbour wants to buy it) so I can't do the cafe. The rest of the day will be spent with the family - the joy of having very young kids (I love every minute)!

However, I was talking to a mate recently and he said he rides to the cafe on a wednesday evening pretty regular, so I may be down there one day soon. Its also a walk from my parents so I really have no excuse!

Done, and I've got a dozen useless bits of pieces from Ikea and sunburn from the show as souvenirs.



Monday - Off to India on business

Off to pack! If you see me posting at odd hours, that'll be the timezones and jet-lag. Flying visit, so back Friday. Wish me and my stomach luck ;)

halina_r - looks like your Sunday didn't go quite as planned - so get practising!
