Meet and greet on the Friday Night for those that can and want to in a nearby pub probably.

SAT Rideout - setting off early on the Saturday Morning.........current proposed route is just over 240 miles going no more North than Abington, not much more East than Hawick, not much more South than Dumfries and a sprinkling of Galloway Forest Park.

Back to the digs and scrub up for some nice grub, a blether :o , some banter and beers .

Head for home on the Sunday.

Will look into suitable accommodation and post up some more details soon.

Great weekend. Thanks Ross and Dave. Good to see everyone, only downside was Maurice coming off but thankfully he seemed ok.
special thanks to Chris for the ride up on the friday. Great fun in the bar saturday night with the afore mentioned animal themes and Martin's (mevsyD)bar game.
We really enjoyed it, thanks everyone,
Steve and Sharon...........

Signing in a bit late ! actualy made it home 6:15 after a nice run home (thank for leading that Chris & the rest for your company ) & lunch at squires.
Even managed to find the courage to overtake the police car we found on the A17, twice !

Great weekend as always, Many thanks Ross.

Called to see Maurice tonight wishes to thank all very much for your kindness & appologised for delaying everyone.
Guy from the hotel ran him to the station & wife collected him from peterborough- home about 7:30. So much discomfort he had to get in back of the car & spent the night in the armchair in his lounge.

But in much better form tonight, more like his normal self & starting to be gratefull for what didn't happen & thinking about getting the bike fixed & back on it.

Hi everbody,

Apologies for the late post still learning the in and outs of the forum, had an excellent weekend and arrived home save and sound about 4 ish on Sunday. Spot of rain on the way especially once I got back up the west coast but no surprise there.

Was great meeting everybody and getting out with so many bikes, was a good learning curve for me that was for sure, was alot more confident when I got back on sunday.

Now looking to what ride out i can do next, possibly big mac but working on that one.

Cheers Ross for organising a great weekend, and I may still be interested in the wanking badger business opportunity!

Apparently another visit to the Doctors as he wasn't making any progress or feeling too well revealed Maurice has two broken ribs plus three cracked ones also fluid on one lung.
And sadly the Busa is a right off :(

Bugger that's not good !

Hope Maurice heals soon. Personal injuries are not nice to deal with.
The In-sewer-ants can take care of the lump of metal & plastic formaly known as a Bussa, but human health is a bit more fragile.

All the best Maurice.

Ouch.......I hope Maurice mends well and quickly.
Sorry to hear about his bike too.

As Tel said the Insurance is there to sort the bike.
Give him a very very gentle hug from all of us.

Rosco

Hmmmmm, that probably explains why he wasn't too happy moving about too much once he got on his feet. Wondered how come he wasn't stepping to and doing the..... hop, skip and jump!...... couple of sit ups, now roll over and 10 press-ups. Nothing wrong with you sonny!

Joking aside..... how come none of this was spotted at casualty? Or am I just informationally deficient?

Can't believe the bike's a write-off. I rode it down the road! Seemed fine to me. Guess no one will be asking for any bike reviews for a while

Say hi to Maurice and wish him a speedy recovery from me.
