Kev came over to our house in Loughborough then on to Nats in leics where New Mon, Andrew, mand and Alex were waiting. From there we went over to Bosworth to meet Banshee, El and stevie.

STEVIE had ridden over 150 miles to meet us. He has to be hero of the day!! Thanks Steve it was great to meet you. We will return the trip soon.

After hot drinks we left to ride over to Staunton Harold...ok now it got interesting. Sorry Banshee, El and Alex It was me that said we were going to the reservoir. However we went to the tea shop place. Well done on finding us. I will be more prepared next time.

Chips all round and warm up.

The bikes got very muddy it looked like we had been off roading!

We all said our goodbyes from there and made our way home.

Hope you all got back ok.

and once again THANK YOU ALL for making it such a good day.

Glad you all had a good day out.

[Kazza]

Well done J & R. Sorry couldn't be with you today. Eyes are getting better but think I need another week or so before I get back on the bike. Mind you, would probably ride better with everything blurry!!!!!!!!!???

Speak to you soon.

[steviej]

Kazza,

Just love that avatar.....................

[NewMon]

Many thanks to everyone esp. Julie for organising the day. It was good to see you all for the first time. We had an eventful day. I went off to fetch a mate from Hinckley but he dropped his bike on his drive! Andrew and I had to go back earlier than the rest of you and we found some fun roads on the way back. Traffic was light and the wind had dried the roads. We got blown about quite a bit. My waterproofs acted like a sail and I struggled to keep up with Andrew at times. I think I'll put the screen back on.

See you all soon!!

Pete

:burnout:

[gary tompkins]

[JR]

your telling me!! You are bloody mad.

So how far from Stoke are you?

[steviej]

Stoke is 53 miles (via Congleton) No Motorway

Horwich to Sutton Cheney (via Lichfield) Nearly all Motorway approx 135 miles.

Sutton Cheney to Horwich (via 'Run Out', Stoke, Congleton, Manchester, Bolton). No Motorway approx 110 miles.

So there you go, it was ONLY 240/250 miles round trip.......:eek:

[Julie]

My Parents live in Audley near Congleton.

I fancy a ride over to the Ducati Dealers in your area some time.

I'll let you know and we could meet up?

[steviej]

Nearest Duc dealer to moi is 'Fylde Superbikes' @ Preston.

Meeting 'Half' way would probably be 'Manchester Ducati' @ Knutsford, Unless you know anymore??

[steviej]

Sorry, that 'half' way is about 2/3rd you, 1/3 me..

[the cyclist]

Andrew here - just to show i'm alive. Note newmon's comments about my bike being faster. I reckon it could be my fairing. (That and having my chin on the tank).

All you nakeds may have to re-think - get your bikini out.

[Julie]

Stevie

I want to go to both of those dealers. so i'll give you a shout when we are planning to go and may be meet you?
J and R

[steviej]

'ello Andy (can I call you Andy?) nice to hear from you.


As for a Bikini, I'm getting my 'Line' waxed next week.....:eek: :eek: :p



roof & jools (can I call you roof & jools?) :rolleyes: Whenever your ready. ;) ;)

[Julie]

Joof and Rules is what we are also called. Most people forget which ones which. We dont mind what we are called, believe me we have been called lots of things in the past!


NEWMON....you are not collecting your PM's!!!

[netstar]

;) so glad you all had a super time.
I went and got the new addition yesterday( see avatar) 900ie... will be on the look out for a bikini and other bits and pieces... the boy is out of hosp and botherin me for a go on the pc !!! J X

[Julie]

I love the DARK monster. Nice on Netstar hope your lad is 100% better. See you soon?

[NewMon]

Hello Julie,

You're right, I haven't been reading PMs. I used to rely on getting a conventional email telling me that I have a PM. That doesn't work any more. In fact I haven't had an email from this board since the upgrade. You have my email address, feel free to contact me that way.
