(Gary, it was the best ride out I have ever had, thank you! love Annie xx ) and last, but by no means least... Thank you to Del Boy, for a great Disco. Loved every track and you made me smile when you danced down the middle of the club... Bye bye for now... Annie and David.xx :-)

Well done to all involved in making it another great weekend. Like Rich got very wet going home, lost chain @ junction 21 so had a soggy wait for rescue of 1 hour 45 mins!

Yogi and the boys did a great job, weather was great too excepted MFN-London orbital on sunday morning with a nearly storm. We were all missing during the run out and at Matlock the group of triples on which I was crossed Yogi and an other group who came from the other side :D :lol: :roll:
Thank you all and will see you on the Southern :smt004

Great time at the rally, not been for a few years despite now living in Nottingham, really enjoyed the rideout, straight passed matlock and keep going, a proper ride, great, commiserations to all who had a problem on the ride, been there, know what it feels like, not nice, but at least the sun was out. Few shocked faces at CMC as well, Well done to all involved in sorting the rally.
Cheers.

Great rally, despite my break down, turned out to be a snapped trigger wire from the CDI

Strangely after repairing (bodging) it, the bike started 4 stroking on the left hand cylinder
It ran like crap for the 76 miles home, so far stripped the carb and removed the barrel and everything appears to be OK

Have fully stripped the carb and going to attack it with an air line
See if I can get it to run right

1st time I have been to the MFN rally. Great venue, great rideout (apart from my throttle twist tube breaking, but managed to find my own way back from the burger stop after wedging the cable nipple between the grip and what was left of the sheared nipple holder). Really enjoyed the band. Got bloody soaked on the way home to Kent, nursing the S3 along at 60mph incase the throttle cable pulled out again. Well done to those who organised it. Thumbs Up

First time I've made this event since getting a triple (for those there in 2011, I was the youth everyone kept throwing H2s at to try-fackin awesome night that!! :lol: ). Every other year I either forgot, had it in bits or had something else on.
I was dead chuffed to get second place for best hybrid. Especially considering I was second to a mono shocked, USD forked 250 frame with an H2 lump squeezed in-not bad for my pile of spare parts 8) Thanks again to the judges.
Hopefully I'll camp next year, might even drag a few mates up to have a look. Forgot how much fun riding in a pack of strokers is.

Missed the rally due to going to Assen MotoGP, sounds like it was a good one. No mention or pics of the Indians, did they turn up?
