Apart from a 3 hour evening shift on Saturday I have the house to myself until Monday 

 

So will probably waste it watching old movies the Wife can't usually stand 

Time spent well indeed

[billy sugger]

Think a trip to St Neots for a full English tomorrow is on the cards

Debbie does Dallas? 

 

No wonder she doesn't like them

Tomorrow I am going to Caffeine & Machine for a CRK (Cafe Racer Kit ) meet up - they sent me a free ticket.

Unfortunately my particular example is still with Road & Race Performance waiting for its  Dyno assessment, so I will be on the Speedtriple,

I've been past this place loads of times but Ive never ventured in because I've read so many conflicting reports concerning the welcome that awaits . Maybe the bad reviews are from car drivers but I understand that you may or may not be charged just for parking depending on whether your vehicle is deemed to be interesting or not . Something like that .

If I hadn’t got a free ticket I wouldn’t have bothered. Wasn’t overly impressed.

You have to pre-book a 3 hour slot & pay on certain days it’s £5 for a bike & you get £2:50 off food or drink (£10 for a car).

When I've been I avoid weekends and tend to go early. Otherwise it can be carnage and people riding/driving silly on the local roads close to the venue which is a shame for the locals

Endless round of hospital visits I think. Grandson is doing really well and will be out soon. Mother isn't and is fading.

Nasty accident on way over to St Neots, looks like a bike and winnibago had a coming together. Enough people there for me not to get involved (trained first aider and first responder trained) so carried on for my brekkie

Not yet, but I’ve heard good things

Some people go on to there after a Wednesday morning at Hoar Oark.

So who's going to join me NEXT WEEKEND at Coventry Motofest ?  The Ride In this year begins assembling at Draycot Water near Rugby at around 07:30 and departs for Coventry at 09:30 . All bikes are welcome . When you arrive in Coventry there will be plenty to see and do as the whole City Centre will be full of vintage and custom vehicles . I understand that there will be a return to live displays on the Coventry Ring Road . Here's some pics from last year's event. 

I'm aiming to be at Draycote for 08.30

[billy sugger]

Yes, Bob. I think I have been to Covfest before, but didn't do the ride in. It should be good fun

If there's no chance of rain on Sunday , are you up for a meet up at some equidistant location or even further afield ? 

[Ian Frog]

Quite possibly Bob but I will need to see how I get on with the plastering etc on Saturday.

I will drop you a whats app on Sat afternoon.

[Mississippi Bullfrog]

I shall be traveling to various towers to raise the Union Flag to full mast for the Accession, then back to half mast tomorrow morning. Plus a wedding. And my wife is entering a Bakewell tart in our village show. I have been eating the various trial bakes so my riding jeans have mysteriously shrunk this week. And lunch with our younger daughter who expecting our second grandchild in November. 

[Mickly]

Was going away, but Stepdaughter moved house yesterday & although I woke up absolutely fcuk’d this morning from helping I am now re-assembling furniture as her fella has had to go to work …. A bit too convenient I think & she can’t find the coffee !!! 

[Mick67]

Had a busy morning checking and packing for trip down to the Italian alps, all sorted now just got to put the bags into the panniers and top box for a 5am start in the morning.

A few beers this afty then a curry and early night, a little bit excited now.
