Great just great. All was well and all was fun. Weather better than expected and a good safe dry journey home with 5 other UKMOC buddies.

Just want to say too that 2 newbies came along and had a great time and considering no-one has met Duke1200s before he is a great dude and was at times hilarious and a really nice guy.
No dramas other than the shame that poor Ian broke down again and went back to blighty and never made the event. And Bex having to get new chain and sprockets.

It was a quiet event at market due to possibly weather iffy and maybe other reasons but was very nice and very relaxed.

No ice cream shop open sadly so it had to be beer instead.

A last thanks to all who turned up and had fun and thanks to the good effort of tee shirts.

Albie.

PS hope the rest of gang have a safe onward trip to spa and nurburgring and hope Slobs back is better too.

Nice one guys! Glad everyone had a great weekend although I did feel sorry for Ian, but he gave it his best shot. Hope all those who are doing the 'extended' tour have a fab, safe trip too.

Cheers for the thoughts Guys. I was very jealous looking at the photos, (esp of JP & Bex who seem to be on a grand European tour!) but there's always next year.....!

We was hoping and praying and sad you never made it. Glad you at least tried and got back home again. We all felt for you and that's the truth.

Cheers mate, it did feel like I was in an episode of top gear at one point...... But the bike managed to get me home from OK. And she's off to Proteam tomorrow morning for Al to try to work out exactly what's failing.

I went to Tescos last night and bought myself a few Duvel's, but they didn't seem to taste the same without being over there in person!
