    Looks like the weather will be dry on Sunday 9th ( March) and as such I think it would be rude not to have a meet up. So I have arranged to meet Andy and Marion at the Shell station ( Sandiway A49 ) at 10.15 am and anyone wanting to meet can join us there leave 10.20 am Si Tol and Craig are going to The Raven for breakfast so we should meet up there around 10.45 ish. Si has only a half day pass so will be itching to get back to the sink just after lunch but we will be heading into Wales with Barney joining the Pack either at The Raven or in flight .Would be nice to catch up again .Mike .;)

    Which bit of coast did you get to ? Doesn't look like Aber ?

    My hangover was epic so lunch (well breakfast) was fish and chips in Matlock then run to Halifax to pick up the Idle air control valve to try and fix the blade

    Aber, to be fair they've done a good job putting it back together after the storms.

    Good ride today met at the shell garage on A49 then on to the raven, quick hello to Si and gang then down to crossgates for a bite of lunch, lovely ride across country to the coast ( most roads have been re surfaced :cool:)
    Ice cream at aber then Bala then home.
    Good company and top ride thanks folks

    Yup .A full day of fast biking which started at the meeting point and ended when we parted company near Chester .Top day good mates and weather .Jason didn't make it due to dropping the BM not far from his unit so that's a big sickener but he is ok sort of a slow off with the usual damage.
    Jasons friend called Quentin met me at Lymm and we picked off Marion Andy and Tom at sandiway and hit the 49 and met up with Si Toll and Craig all scoffing a full English but as Si was going to complete his patio we cleared off and headed for Crossgates for dinner all the roads are near perfect down there some a little damp but the pr4s didn't give at all and brand new yesterday as well .Went to the seaside had an ice cream and headed into Bala and again the roads are awesome and the bikes didn't take any prisoners. Here is a few photos of today . Me, Marion, Quentin, Andy and Tom. Roll on the next one.[​IMG][/URL][/IMG][​IMG][/URL][/IMG][​IMG][/URL][/IMG][​IMG][/URL][/IMG][​IMG][/URL][/IMG][​IMG][/URL][/IMG][​IMG][/URL][/IMG]

    Giv I take it your taking the piss calling him Quentin when his name is Damien .:D

    Wish I could of made it but only fancied a short ride about 30 seconds to be exact then thougt I would spend the day striping my Bmw while looking on Ebay while getting very stiff but not in the lower region .:D

    To say I have had a shit biking weekend is a understatement .:D
