Nienna Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I meant to join you guys today, but as I didn't get back home from Southend (picked my new bike finally up today woooooo!) until gone 6pm and and I was absolutely knackered and swimming in sweat so though better do it next time. I'll join some shenanigans soon though, if a new kid is welcome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BikerMooFromMars Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 So yeah, I got lost on the way home! I turned off some roundabout before the A4..something..8 ! Tbf it was because my electrics cut out (twice) on the way back and was a bit distracted by it and missed the sign! Ended up in....Childerly? Or somewhere? Chr*st knows! Will check connections and such in my lunchbreak tomoz - my Haynes is at work for my lunchtime reads, hopefully will be able to sort it out. Frst issue with this bike - sure I'll sort it ok tho.Nice seeing you all tonight - esp GOG. And really liked the social club! Had a much nicer feel to it - more character and really friendly - and a coke for only 75p!! Was awesome to have so many of us on th ride to Papworth too - was lotsa fun.

Seabluegal Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Hey all, good to finally see Papworth! Definitely a good turn out thereand it does have it's own charm, although I was missing the view of the lake at Hartford...Great to see you all though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Old Git Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Nice to have met you again - Agree with Lou that the Social Club is 'cosy' with great prices!Have to make it a regular (and try out their 'Bacon Butties').Sounds like you have a loose connection Lou - Try 'wriggling' wires and see what causes the problem. Should be an easy fix (the hard bit will be finding it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be an easy fix (the hard bit will be finding it). No Bumbag?! But WHERE will you stash your stamp collection?!That's what Bob said, GOG - I had a go at lunchtime but our work toolkit was missing the rotate-y nut screw thing remooover (Ollie tells me a 'socket set') and couldn't loosen the nut with the other turn-y device (spanner!) to check the positive connection. Will take a set with me tomoz and have another well-spent lunchbreak . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stilton Jo Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Hiya All..Have been to Hartford a couple of times, but been away in Europe for 4 weeks so just catching up on the news that it's burnt down....Can I suggest/remind folks that there is the Talbot Inn in Stilton which does good food/beer and is biker friendly - the Triumph Club meets there on Wednesdays (other bikes welcome too!)Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Moo likes the socialising aspect - wouldn't get much time for a catch-up by the time we got there and had to head off. May do at some point though, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nienna Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Suppose I'll have to keep my promise and turn up - anything happening tomorrow?
