Don't be surprised Dave the only surprise is that he's had it for 1 week

.......................................THE ZX9 is FOR SALE Maybe not to those of us who know him!!!

I'm a snob I'm afraid, so many on these KTM's, BMW's ride pass with their noses in the air, if they nod I'll nod back! Tend not to nod to mopeds or the pizza delivery's but always do to other sportsbikes, those on tests & the instructors behind them and even the police bikers

Saturday is out for me Neil as I'm nights and will be out for the count. Sunday maybe a possibility but at the moment it is a no for me

Rode really well his Race 1 argy bargy with Spies was edge of the seat stuff

We saw a bit of lighning when we got back to Ely over Cambridge way but the one shocker was the hailstorm we had about 9pm

Not a good turn out but still a lot of laughs to be had amongst us mostly at Darrens expense Cheers guys lets hope it gets warmer as on the way home I bloody froze

I bet he has I mean his bike wouldn't be recognisable if it wasn't for sale

I can't stand the BBC commentators, if Dorna insist on giving them the LIVE rights they should also insist on making them having decent commentators, That Charlie Cox comment of 'a lap of self adulation' feck me the bloke had just rode an awesome race to pass Rossi and deserved it! Doesn't he remember Jorge's highside last year? ?

All being well and providing Darren hasn't sold the ZX9 i'll be there with him.......

PMSL thats a great pic Gubba we should have had a forum photo under it!

After yesterdays laughs with the Forum mob and I remember being asked by Willow yesterday, being pointed into this direction by Korben (cheers Steve) then being the glutton for punishment that I am I reluctantly add my name to this motley crew. Question is how the hell do I get the trifle there? Not sure if I will do the Fri/Sat/Sun yet but a definate for the Saturday....... I must be nuts Philgale Korben Vicky + 2 Techno Slugworth1987 Bex - ? yorbandit and lad Dan + TheWife Jive

Know what you mean Neil anyhow my take on yesterday: All week the pesimistic people amongst us had been forecasting a wet Sunday, so much to my delight to wake up to blue skies and sunshine, slapped on the factor 30, received a text from Darren are you going? Course I am stupid boy! Met up with Darren at our usual place and blasted to Webbs at Eye to meet Neil and we were ON TIME much to Neils amusement. Sam, Sam & Dave arrived and then the usual arguement of who would lead the way and which route? In the end muggins volunteered to lead the group. Set of from Webbs, bade farewell to Tracey who wished us well (Glad to hear your on the mend Derek) and we opted for the direct route to Spalding then picked up the A16 to meet up with Willow & Akey. We made good pace and pulled up at the garage on the A52...... or so we thought. Willow & Akey were making good time when sitting in the sun and discussing with Neil where they would be when Neil said 'Google Earth never showed a garage on this roundabout' It was then I realised we were actually on the A17 not the A52 so panic stations as we all bundled our gear back on and set of towards Boston, lots of camera's and we were being good until we passed a cop car that decided to put on his blue lights as we went passed, I thought it was for my Dark Visor, Gubba thought it was for him speeding but we never saw copper again, panic over! We got to the A52 nowhere to stop so we headed on to skeggy, what a crap road that A52 is yawn a minute. We got there about 11:30am and about 5 minutes later Akey & Willow turned up so we were not to far apart after all MCN Live was ok glad we had 2 for 1 tickets, Met Vicki, we met Bob the Builder complete with a Hitler Moustache the trade stands tbh were shocking, very poor for a bike weekend, the hovercrafts were.... well on wheels! Stunt show was ok but tbh the company was the part that made the day for me The competitive TMBF streak surfaced as Gubba, Neil, Akey & myself took each other on at superbike racing in the arcade and with the stakes high, I took the honours Neil demanded a re-match so next it was the Arabian Nights camel derby in which Neil took the honours to win a cuddly snake We then went and met up with the lot from Willingham woods who refused to pay to get in (don't blame them) and was good to meet TC from the chatroom and Dan and The Wife again. Dark clouds from the coast made our mind up to set of home and a good ride home in the sun as we arrived back at Ely about 6:20pm. Thanks to Vicki for allowing us to dump all our clutter in their room and thanks to all the people who gave me so many laughs, looking forward to the next event which is........... ? ? ? ? Answers on a postcard please

Nice one Dave, we got home about 6:25pm. Excellent day will do my take on it after I've done my Night shift tonight

Be good to meet you Dave! I know Neil is not online, but I'll tell him at Webbs in the morning We leave about 9:45am from Peterboro running up to Boston and looks like the weather is gonna hold for us

I'm not fussed either way, I reckon leave about 09:45am route planner gives 57 mins to get to Boston so I reckon we could hang on there for half hour easily then all ride in together A16/A52 roundabout.

I did look to see if going via A17 for us from Ely but to go via Peterborough is only a mile more so we'll head to Webbs and meet you there Neil, hang on for us if we are a bit late as I'm rather partial to a Sunday morning lay in

Sorry mate

Are you meeting us on route or when you get there? I know Sam was looking for a stop off on the way then we could all ride in together?

Oh thanks a bunch......

I've got an MCN already so who wants to be my partner...... don't answer that

Neil has organised a ride up from the Cambridgeshire area on the Sunday, so we'll be there on the 27th........... and no we were not leaving on the 24th to get there

Webbs is fine see you there Sunday morning, what is the cost to get into MCN Live?

Yep your right just spoke to him.... what a muppet
