Ah yes, I see the mass of small roundabouts. We actually join the M1 at the junction before that (from A508 onto the M1) but there's no where decent to meet at that junction. So the one you suggested sounds good, it's quite a big service station. Bear in mind we will be on the northbound side. I think there's a roadchef there so we can meet in the car park for that. If not look for the yellow bike with two passengers wearing mohawks. I'll be wearing a yellow jacket as well. We were planning to leave Jin's Dad's at about 9-9.30am (aiming for 9am) because we are supposed to be in the Cadbury's car park by 11.30am. It'll take us about 15 minutes to get to the service station apparently. So do you think you could get there for around 9.30am? (I know it's early for a Saturday morning. ) I'd prefer to be early rather than late. My number is in contacts, I'll have a look for yours in there, if it's not can you PM it to me? Then I'll text you when we are leaving Jin's Dad's just in case you beat us there. I also have a Sat-nav so just follow me and hopefully we will get there easily enough. EDIT: It's at junction 15A of the M1 by the way. If anyone else wants to meet there, feel free.

Me, Skittles, Jin and Fozzie are going to be leaving from Northampton on Saturday morning. (Not sure what time yet) The plan is Skittles and I will be on my bike while Jin and Fozzie will be in Fozzie's car. Is that any good to you Gubba? I don't know the area so don't know of any meeting points or anything.....

According to the Met office it's possible light rain on Friday and sunny on Saturday. That's for Portsmouth, London and Birmingham. Me and Skittles are still planning to come on my bike.

I got lost on the way to the bathroom.

I'm gonna pick up the tank bag me thinks. Maybe a couple of other pieces, it's not like they're expensive.

Hehe, woops! Would you believe me if I said it was an honest spelling mistake?

Ok thanks Sue. Should give us plenty of time to get back then, even if she stays in the shop for an hour or so. Maybe I should ditch the bike and come up in my van.

Cheeky! I'm gonna need as much chocolaty energy I can get for the ride home, don't want to be hyper though. Any ideas how long the tour takes?/When we are going to be finishing?

Tut-tut Korben. So who's going to join Me, Jin, Skittles and Fozzie in group 2? (You'd have to be pretty nuts if you want to. )

That'd probably make sense Sue. Getting Jin and Skittles up at the crack of dawn isn't going to be easy but I'll manage. *Just kidding. *

Well you know the area better than us so we'll go whichever way you want to, whichever route is easier. We can discuss it nearer the time. Em's parents should be going as her Mum has a Kawasaki and wants to go.

That's fine, I know where it is. Jin - If we do end up going to do want to ride with us from somewhere? I would say Target Roundabout but I hate that roundabout.

It'll more than likely be the Sunday I would think. I'll have to check if I'm free on that day closer to the time. And yeah we can travel together, I might go the boring way of A3-> M25-> A40.

Sure thing.

In Birmingham - B30 1JR

Train it is!

I'll say maybe as long as I don't get booed if I turn up on my Honda.

Yeah, c'mon your bikes. I'm coming all the way from Portsmouth on mine!

It's £10.30 for us "Adults" isn't it? (37 people?! Apologies in advance if I forget all of your names. )

Not going to Tag stonehenge by anychance 'Fraid not. I was going to do it last week but didn't have the time in the end. And I can't do it this weekend, next weekend or the following weekend so someone probably would have tagged it by then.

Thanks again guys. Looks like the garage must have given my chain a bit of a lubing, which was nice of them. They cleaned it as well. Need to take it to them more often.

Thanks guys, hoping it was something innocent. Thought I'd make sure because I'm gonna be going for a long ride this weekend.

Hey, just a quick question. When I got my bike back from the garage I noticed there was some grease/oil on the fairing by the side stand. (Only picture I have, just to show where I mean. Don't have any pictures of the oil/grease. It was in the small area behind the stand.) http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n245/MonkeyKnuckle/Bike003.jpg As you can tell I'm not sure if it was oil or grease. I think it was probably grease as it was quite sticky and a bugger to get off. Anway, I noticed it's started to come back so must be dripping off somewhere. Is there anything around that area that usually has grease dripping off? Maybe coming off the chain? Thanks for any help.

I've got one and it fits fine.

Yeah, we're probably gonna postpone it until we can get a bigger group of people there. Keep an eye on the thread for the future.
