[Bear]

New member here Barftone (Tony/Big Tone) can vouch for me. I would be very much interested in joining.

 

[Stubbsie]

B-gger !
I'm rallying that weekend so unable to attend have a grand weekend

 

[Whealie]

In view of the facilities available and the distance you would have to travel with the Burgervan might it be an idea to have a mini meet closer to you in March/April?

Essex in Springtime. I like it.

Not sure that's the best endorsement......lol...... but welcome!

A tentative yes from me and Anne. If we come we will be staying in South Wales for the rest of the week as we are meeting some other friends at a hostel at Lawrenny the following weekend. I reckon we will try somewhere on the Gower for a few days.

Remind me, what do we need to bring with us? Sleeping Bags?

Austin, Drop by the Cresselly Arms at Cresswell Quay (assuming you don't already know it) for a Pint. Beautiful location.
still don't think that they do tea/coffee/food mind.

 

[Lord Vader]

. Also be grateful if you could make sure Hudders doesn't ply me with that flavoured JD to the extent that I can't remember going to bed . 

You where not the only one

 

[Jon davies]

Hi folks, what sort of riding do you guys get up to/what bike are folk on?
As in if your offroad on enduros the vstrom will struggle......

 

[austin]

Most will be on 750 to 1200cc ADV bikes and some even in the 4 wheel variant. There will probably be a couple or three rideouts on Saturday. (Short/long/off road. Talk to Jason (or J) (if he's there) about off road routes, he's reasonably local and on a gs1200 WC so you should be able to follow just fine!

 

[Rubberchicken]

so you should be able to follow just fine!

Just ask Vader.

 

[Jon davies]

Sounds good, I will speak to the boss...... I don't usually need a pass but her birthday is that week....

I tend to ride my GS to the Chemist in Kidwelly for headache pills then back to Penally and my sleeping bag

 

[Mikey]

You have met jason have you??

 

[Lord Vader]

so you should be able to follow just fine!

Yeah no worries. Anyway these vstroms go well. I struggled to keep up with another one of our sensible riders on his 650 Strom.
But than Pigugly is a lot of things but not slow

 

[Jon davies]

Yeah I do love my strom after my old pegaso 650 it is another level of comfort, speed and feel on the tar, will do most everything I did on pegaso offroad but I never had decent rubber under the pegaso for offroad use.

I leave a mate of a hornet 600 (new rider) and another on a z800 for dust on the twisties even with the knobblies on my strom. It sure does make me smile!

(edit: mainly cause they think I am an idiot and I suspect they are trying to loose me)

 

[austin]

You have met jason have you??

I have, but Jon hasn't . It'll be fine.

 

[Jon davies]

I have, but Jon hasn't . It'll be fine.

Hmmmmm sounds..... great
