Grumpy Old Git

I too can offer a (soft) bed (or even 2) for the Sat night. Bacon butties for Sun B/fast. Any takers (once we have a firm date) - let me know. GOG

Me and nman1 looking to run up from Brampton, Huntingdon on Friday 8th August - Overnight in the Penrith area then Sat doing a few rides in the North-East lakes (calling in at the Kirkstone Pass Inn for lunch) - Overnight in the Ambleside area then down to Blackpool (NM wishes to do 'The Big One' ) - Overnight Blackpool then back (cross country) to Brampton on the 8th. Would love to meet up with any 'Locals' in the area during that weekend, both in the Lakes and at Blackpool. Also, any tips on accomodation - Looks like the YHA at Ambleside and a 'Biker B&B' in Blackpool.

Unfortunately I am in the Lakes and will not be there but.. As I live in Brampton and ride with Neil (I have the dark blue (best colour) 1250 with forum sticker and topbox).

Also - Note Neil has found his wallet (or did he nick that 5ver off Roy?)

B*&*&Ks, Got to be in Plymouth on the Sunday - Otherwise I would have said yes. Maybe next time? Hope you all have a great time.

Fitted a 'standard' one on my first 1200 Bandit - No problems but had to fill it regularly. Got a 'Touring' resovoir type (fits behind numberplate) on new Bandit 1250 - Looks like I'll get a full year without refil. Oh, this was a 'freebee' extra negotiated when I ordered the bike. :) . Whatever & however, got to be worth the money unless you do the chain lube every trip

LOLMAFO I still have an original Honda @Bum Freezer' jacket in Gold & Green & White (bit scuffed) which I will never be able to wear as it is far too small. Keep it for sentimental value as it saved quite a bit of skin in my early youth.

Thought you was scared of flying

Got it penciled in for the Sat night / Sunday but... Too far ahead to comit yet GOG
