Rosie

I stopped reading when you said size 12

Not been anywhere near a size 12 for over 20 years

Oh that would be great

Off to Cadwell to watch a friend go round and round and round etc

anyone want to join me?

how about the second one on here??

thought sunday was the 27th??

Sidi vertiigo's they have a calf adjuster at the back - I love them

I wouldnt use any of the above boots, doesnt look like you get much protection in them.

how much you got to spend? is 50 sheets your limit

Phil the type and style of your riding differs greatly to this lads (nearly everyone is younger than me I can call him a lad )

He rides a 125

and

he is currently riding in trainers

So as has been said - anything is better than what he is currently using

and I would guess there is a financial limit as well as he is probably too old for Santa now

I have had two sets of Pirelli Diablo sports this year and got nearly 4000 out of each set.

To be honest I think these are your best bet so far

Tall enough not to get too much water over the top when you splash through puddles ( is that only me? )

Good ankle and shin protection.

Are you using leathers or textiles?

Please don't say Denim

They look decent boots - ANYTHING (well nearly) is better than trainers!!!

Oh shouldn't this be in the next section down

Rosie,

I believe he also corrected your pronunciation I saw him last night (Thurs) in Weston.

yes he did cos I said " boom thingywatsit"

Rosie say hi to Taff, Paddy & Nick for me.

Better if you see Taff say 'bomchickawowwaa' and let me know what reaction you get.

 

I did and he nearly wet himself laughing

Not surprised, he had no idea I know of you and it was from 4 years ago. Did he explain what it is about ?

erm no other than to say it was a long story and for another time

Rosie say hi to Taff, Paddy & Nick for me.

Sorry for delay on posting - been otherwise engaged.....

but to complete the thread.....

A very, very wet day but an absolutely awsome one!!

A very humbling experience as well.

I was back marker for a couple of runs ( second run was a different route but hey ho we just followed the Police!!!)

There were loads of folk there - so much for "fair weather riders" - will try and post some pics to demonstrate.

If you were there sorry I missed you - but I waved to loads of bikes as they were leaving for their runs.

A thank you from the Brigadier

Someone's video of a few runs

Newspaper report showing the waiting riders

couple of pics

Well I have dug out my thermals and my textiles..... so it will be a good day regardless.

Inevitably I will get lost

hmmmmmmmm if i can pursuade the bf i might be able to make it he's a squaddie so it might not take much pursuading

maybe we can exchange numbers so we can organise to meet up??? (if i can do pursuading bit first )

Don't forget to take part u MUST register on line...... EDIT found out u can register on the day

Rosie say hi to Taff, Paddy & Nick for me.

Better if you see Taff say 'bomchickawowwaa' and let me know what reaction you get.

will write it on the back of my hand otherwise I will forget

I will be there - registered in slot two cos we had to...

but I will also be marshalling

Please come over and say Hi - you can't miss me - big girl / big bike

Oh and I think I will be forced to wear one of those erm um eeek vest thingies

am I sober yet??

I would say an all weather rider

but

with limits?? if that is possible

I don't ride between November and March mainly as I live next to the sea and the salt air is enough to corrode my bike withour the salt in the road adding to it.

I don't have anywhere dry and warm to store my bike on a day to day basis

and the main reason

I'm getting too old for all that

nice boots but should this thread not be in the clothing section

Just about recovered from the pastie now, was great to see you again Rosie

Braver person than me - all I had was 2 tins of Diet Coke and 2 kitkats.

If it ain't tinned or wrapped I wont touch it

And yes great to see u again too

will be there this evening if anyone wants to say hello.

Thanks to Craig last night ...

are these one or two piece garments ??

one piece may be ok for you blokes but a bit akward for us girls ....... *wonders where her shewee went*

off to squires Craig with group from work - well saying that we meeting at CHH at 5.45 leaving 6pmish and then making our own way to Squires to meet there.

OMG two rancid cups of tea in three days my insides are not going to like me
