Back home safe n sound if a little damp, horrendous storm on the M5 probably the worst rain we've ever encountered.

What a fantastic weekend, brilliant ride out well led by Boxered, (Steve) and thanks to SParry (Steve) but you can't get rid of us that easy :wink:

Nice to meet friends old and new and it was great to see Alan but we really did miss Alan Peter Reg & Gwen on there bikes on the ride out, maybe a South West do in Oct could be a good chance to ride with you again.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

R1200S and loving it !

Home safe and sound after a very damp with the occasional slide and dodgy coach driver!!! we managed to make it home without major incident but was a bit hair raising at times!!!!
A massive thank you to all involved in organising another amazing welsh weekend. Already looking forward to next years tour of north wales.
And I hear a whisper of a south west meet in October !!!!
Would be great to see everyone down Yer !!!

What a cracking couple of days. Best birthday I've had in years :D . Thanks Steve and Steve. Thanks to the Zummerzet posse for having me along. The WPH was great. Yesterday's ride was better.

Fings wot I've learned:
- Welsh cow shit ain't no grippier than English cow shit.
- An R12 of any flavour can boogie :shock:
- Tail End Charlie doesn't necessarily have to be at the back :?
- Reg isn't fond of Radio 1 at 06:30hrs.
- I must sort out my comedy indicators.

Aside from the biblical downpour on the M5 and a brown trouser moment on hitting a big bump while heeled over :shock: it was even a fun ride home. Gonna clean the old girl tomorrow - first pass will be with a pitchfork.

Mike :D

Can I make a suggestion?

Start a photo thread in the "Ride Reports" section, rather than extending a 24 page "planning" thread?

Al
If I am ever on life support - Unplug me......
Then plug me back in..........

See if that works ..... :?

Perhaps you're palming yourself off with the wrong technique mate? After a long hard ride I always try to get a girlfriend to give me a hand with my helmet. Finishing off with a good hard polish, it's such a relief to just lie back watch her get on top of the job. :wink:

Just sayin', Nick.

It's all VFR (DCT) round here now. STILL missing my 1100s tho.
