Mine has no kill switch so I'm ok!

Guess we'll just have to remove the spark plug, then

Just had a test run of setting up the tent. Not too bad to put up (eventually )

Good stuff. Does it pack down small enough to carry?

It goes quite small I'm hoping it'll go on the bike on ok. It's 650mm long and my bike is 750mm wide over mirrors should be ok

You amateurs know nothing about loading up a bike properly:

Forum rally 2014

 

And heading to a rally earlier this year:

 

I only look like this:

as I've got a pillion for most of the rallies we do now.

 

Will be coming by car so I have the luxury of having room for an airbed in my tent this year

You're just worried I'd throw that 125 in the river if you came on it again, aren't you?

 

Naaaah, that'd spoil the surprise for you and all the other first-timers

Think I've finally decided on my costume for this year. Just need to work on my singing. And my lipstick

Oh crap, do I need to start learning another duet or is the one we didn't manage last year going to work just as well?

On a serious note, anyone coming in a car prepared to do some driving on the Saturday during the ride out? Brax's mum, brother and uncle are coming in his uncle's car and hoping to scatter his ashes somewhere round the rideout route but uncle wants to come on the ride out on the back of me so can someone drive mum and brother to where/when we're meeting up to do the scattering please?

Yep that bike is staying in my garage until I get round to cleaning it up and selling it on to fund license/big bike. Surely you would rather throw a nice chinese bike in the river instead?

[Stu]

luckily there is no river

just saw this bit. I don't mind at all taking them, if they can cope with my driving

Good effort, but we all know there's no such thing as a NICE chinese bike

[eastanglianbiker]

BBQ pit instead?

[Tiggie]

thank god the rally isn't this weekend or all the bloody Brexit talk would of gotten so heated the mods would of needed to get out their ban hammers!!

[Westbeef]

Stu, will this be to big for the campsite. Not had it up (the tent) since Glastonbury festival in 2012 but it seems ok.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160612/dafc917499a84a4de9f2e2122af3cb46.jpg

Took the tent on a weekend camping trip in the lakes. Fitted on the bike with no problems. Was a great back rest.

But it took me an hour to set it up while being eaten alive by midges.

So I'm on the hunt for a small, quick to set up tent which that can ventilate hangover farts well.

Looking good loaded up there . Mine was 20 off amazon and 5 mins to set up. Comfortably get me in at 5'10" and all my gear.

Yeah its got some good ones which is why I opted for it as every time i go camping i end up sleeping in a puddle .

can't find a reasonably priced hotel in the area. hopefully would jump on a cancellation closer to the date

[Westbeef]

The campsite we are staying at has rooms? Do they have none available?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Stu]

Yes they have rooms

and yes they are all booked out already!
