Re: 2019 NW Rally

may consider it if one of the prizes is water proof trousers

Re: 2019 NW Rally
arm and a leg to fly, and defeats the point of having a bike and not riding
I don't mind the ride, I just got so feckin wet the last time, what would have helped me last year, was getting up in the dark to go for the ferry, grabbing what I thought was my water proof trousers, to find I had my womans!! she is about a size 6-8, was like gary glitter, half way up me legs and so tight on the bollocks could not get me leg over the seat!!!

Re: 2019 NW Rally
There is more than enough good camping area at the site as the event is held at the Rugby Club... so nice soft green grass

Come whatever time you want on Friday, we will set up on Thursday evening, but bar probably won't be open until about 4pm

Re: 2019 NW Rally
Alas, herr wolf, don't think am going to make it, ferry prices have jumped, why after uk gave them 39 million?? less sailings and higher prices???? also, lots of bookings at the house coming in and we also look after another holiday let. That to is very busy, and, Brittany is becoming top attraction for the French !! All the bookings we have had are French, and all the bookings ahead are French, no uk, think they have all gone to Blackpool or the Lakes!!! All Eu holidays from the uk are down, Turkey or Egypt, not France. If I don't make Blackpool, then will be at the southern

Re: 2019 NW Rally
It's noticeable that everyone is stopping at home. The beaches were rammed solid at the Bank Holiday.
Good luck with the B&Bs..

Re: 2019 NW Rally
I thought I should check the bike over in readiness so lubed the chain, checked tension, fine. Pumped the tyres up and kicked the exhaust! what, loose baffle !( messy job) . Noticed the side panel was loose so removed it ( perished rubbers)
Fuel leak from filler cap ( new rubber 10 yrs ago ) so put less in ! Final check 2 stroke, usually full as I'm fastidious with that but, nearly nowt. Phew!
I daren't check owt else, See you there.
