I'm not going to be able to attend, my bike has developed a CAN bus issue and will be having a holiday on its own at Ducati ProTeam.

Oz I have sent you an email.

You are more than welcome to borrow my bike, but I am going away tomorrow morning.

If you can get to Tring station before 9am tomorrow morning, you can use it.

LouSCannon · 26-05-2017, 06:02 AM

Ffs that's a shame Oz, would have been great to see you. Hope you grabbed the chance to rag Dan's bike???

BigOz · 26-05-2017, 07:19 AM

I had a couple of extremely generous offers but I just don't feel comfortable with accepting them.

Is there an itinerary anywhere?

slob · 28-05-2017, 07:08 AM

Leave hotel 10:30, Elan Valley, then Aberystwith for ice cream or chips and back again

Grumpy · 28-05-2017, 07:11 PM

Great to see new faces and old. Thanks to everyone for a fun but short weekender for me.
My ride home was spirited apart from stopping to clean up the blackbird off my jacket and helmet ( which has been damaged by the impact!) Which I managed to hit !!
See you guys soon.

Mr Gazza · 28-05-2017, 08:02 PM

Ditto very enjoyable weekend with lots of very pleasant and encouraging company.
Special thanks to Alan for doing most of the organising and being a magnificent host. Also to Andy for shepherding me along when I couldn't keep up with the run, riding tail end Charlie... Great ride though, even in the rain.

Jeez Grumps.. You damaged a Honda with your helmet?!?!

I came across a very fresh and horrendous head-on between a large artic' and a car on the A46 near Stratford (almost certainly a fatal I would imagine!).

I was trying to discreetly filter round the carnage and Police cars, when yet another one wailed and flashed onto the scene in front of me! I thought I was in for a right bollocking as the young officer jumped out and ran towards me, but he was laughing and kindly directed me safely through. It only remained to avoid the rest of the Warwickshire Constabulary, hurtling to the scene!!

Only there for the Sunday but throughly enjoyed the ride over to Aberystwyth and back, really good curry & beer in the evenings and great to meet everyone. Thanks to Alan and Mart64 for making me feel welcome. I would recommend this event to everyone even if just for the day.

Ps Char's MV sounds bloody awesome !!!
