Fozzie Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 Hey tango, I think I'm riding down with remy, I was going to go to London to see Big Ben and mr fozzie but the weather is utter shite and mr fozzie lives 7 hours away I happen to know a YZF-R125 can do 10 hours a day, 250-400 miles a day, for 10 days no problem Oh and if you break down... Check the battery Ricky... Ricky... Battery My CBR is developing the cam chain tensioner rattle of death so can't really do the mileage and to top it off, Moo's knee can't do 3 hour journeys as I found out taking her up north. So looks like a day visit isn't possible this time round
rennie Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 The lane isn't that bad! just not 100mph territory! Once we're set up we will provide tea/coffee on demand (within reason!)for donations to forum funds.We may also have biscuits/cakes but not home made this year.We need people to spend some money in the pub!We are taking some of our own food/beer as well though.We will now be doing, A442, A38 as the roadworks on the M5 are pretty slow.
Joeman Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 We need people to spend some money in the pub! dont you worry about that...... with an 18month old child, i dont often get a weekend pass, so i'll be making the most of my weekend freedom!!
rennie Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 We've been trying to remember food prices,We think breakfast is £6 (pre-ordered only)There is a board with "basket meals" which are £5.Then there's your usual pub menu dearest thing is about £12.They have at least 2 hand pulled real ales, several ciders and the usual eurofiz

dispersion Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 We're going cross country Joeman.....planning on leaving mid-morning and having a steady bimble across.....dunno what time you'll be heading up there or which route you'd take.....but I guess we'll be in Bicester around lunchtime......so, if the route and times work out mate we could rendezvous around there.... Ricky said he may ride across with us.....depends what his plans are..... Hey! I am on 12 hour notice and nights at the moment! Which means I can still come and should get Friday off! I'll ride with you guys if that's cool. Looks like I might have to leave Saturday to work but will see how it goes!
rennie Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 Sue says if anyone wants us to charge their phones on our leccy then PLEASE can they label & put their name on their chargers - don't want to be held responsible for anyone losing theirs!!
Tiggie Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 just opened up my hold-all that I haven't used since last years rally. Found my spada waterproof trousers I thought had been lost along with an assortment of sweet wrappers. I seem to of lost all my tent pegs though so guess I'm off to halfords
