Was there last year (saw your bike parked up) and can recommend it to anyone. It's great to be in such a huge convoy, and the attention is unbelievable. People are on almost every motorway bridge along the way.

It clashes with the Kent monthly meet that I was going to attend, so need to decide which to do. :confused:

You mean I missed out on winning a GS!!!!!!...nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

How crap can my life get at the moment ......
Now I have no adventures left ..... sob..

I am alone unloved and adventureless in this cruel world.

Good to see I got the wrong town to meet in as well :)

No bike therefore no Pomp:cry:.. worth going for the good cause (the ambulance doesn't get much in terms of HMG contributions) and for the sheer amount of bikes there .

If I'll be there and win it, I'll sell it straight away to make my Monnie happy.
It's unlikely though as I never won anything in my life.

Saying about NA info on your clocks… I think I saw it on mine a couple of hundred miles ago :eyepopping: but didn't pay too much attention to it. Hope it won't blow up or whatever the consequences might be…

See you another time Jim.

I may pop down.. don't know the place at all!!!

I don't fancy riding in a convoy of a few thousand bikes.... well not on Hector...
Done it on the Kat but his clutch is light as a feather!!

I don't know what time bikes start arriving there??

Gennaro, Kuba.....awesome rideout today chaps. The ride back via clacton on sea and the b1026 was sweet!!!

What a blast finding people cheering and waiving on the way to Harwich!!! Got to sit on demo multistrada, streetfighter, hypermotard and to top things off a plod bike LOL

Declan, thanks for a tip. I think we saw your bike parked right next to the sea front.

Yeah cheers for the reminder. We did see your bike parked up. Not too far from a lurvely M900 with stumpy metallic cans :thumbsup:

Any body knows the owner of the pink monster? :spin:

No, but she/he is probably in a nursing profession if that would make your search any easier.

Hey guys, yes that was my bike, with the belly pan hanging half off if anybody saw, had to hunt down some cable ties.
No problem, I saw three monsters ride in together one had an Ace cafe sticker on it, was that you guys?
The other monster with the stumpy cans was my mates, they are only stumpy because he got hit up the rear end couldn't be bothered to replace them so he just cut them in half =P
Unfortunately you wont be seeing either of them bikes next year as we are both selling them :/
Qba
13-09-2010, 09:51 AM
Yeap, the one with the sticker was Diego's.
So what's the plan? Are you going for another Monster?
ColchesterM600
13-09-2010, 09:57 AM
If I can find a more reliable newer monster next year I might get one.
Thing is a do rather like the Kawasaki z750 as well as the KTM super duke.
I don't want to see the monster go, I have spent a lot of time on the lovely girl.
