MonkeyKnuckle Posted July 29, 2008 Author Posted July 29, 2008 Guess it's just you and me Ade. No one else along the South Coast? Doesn't matter if you don't have a bike yet. (I don't have one yet. ) Quote

MonkeyKnuckle Posted July 29, 2008 Author Posted July 29, 2008 This is why Mac isn't around:viewtopic.php?t=13378Hopefully I'll get a bike soon (looking at one tonight) I also want to check out Loomies at some point. (If it's worth checking out?) Quote

MonkeyKnuckle Posted July 30, 2008 Author Posted July 30, 2008 Excellent.Are you all coming to Portsmouth on the 17th? Quote
SuperMe79 Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Yes I'll be coming along to Portsmouth on 17th. I'm in that area every weekend although I tend to avoid cities .. too hot and too slow. Quote
Guest Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Me and the boy are in Farnborough Sadly...Gimmie rideouts already! Quote
Guest Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 im living near bournemouth and would be up for a ride out, need to wait till i get paid first though Quote
Guest Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 only an hour or so away---usually free sundays or out monday afternoons Quote
Paul Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 I am in Brighton.I do odd shifts though. 4 day week and this means two days off every week. These are Mon/Tues, then the following week will be Wed/Thurs and the week after that will be Fri/Sat so basically every third week I get Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon/Tuesday off.Sundays are all over the place, we don't do one on/one off. Sundays are a good earner so they are always easy to get rid of if I want to.So my next two days off will be this Wed/Thursday with next week being Friday/Sat/Sunday then the Monday/Tuesday off, five days in total every third week.At the moment I have every long weekend booked away until the end of September. Can do the weekdays though, nowt planned for mid-week days off. Quote

Paul Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 I am a Train Driver! I know, I know, it's not the most glamorous of jobs but it pays over 41k a year just for sitting looking out of a window watching the world go by...... Quote

Paul Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 (Both South West and Southern (Fratton) are recruiting at the moment, they are on similar rates of pay.My lot are looking at recruiting at Brighton around December........)Anyhow, back on topic, I will be off and about tomorrow (Wed) and Thursday too if it is not raining too hard and anyone fancies a ride out. I was thinking of heading over towards Kent. Around Tenterden, down to Battle and back via the twisties through Heathfield and so on... Quote
SuperMe79 Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 I guess you always have Sundays off Ducati Paul as there are never any trains running?!? Quote
