Greetings, just joined and had to wait for the approval... like looking at your switch card gettin checked when paying for fuel and having no cash with you!

Good to meet you all and look forward to having a read around the forums

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Hi James
Hello and welcome - great choice of bike

[James691]

Cheers Stumpy!

Bon jour, Monsieur! You too, I have the 08 plate and just run 1.6k on her from new. Going well and looking forward to the SS1000 challenge at the end of December.

Had a ETV 1000 before the Vara but that was taken before her time by a car driver eating a pasty! Court date set for 19th Jan 09 undue care and attention, happy new year Biatch.

Looking forward aslo to seeing what ride outs are going on around UK and Europe via this forum. Sweet deal, givi box, passport, credit card, bike...job done

Hello James, welcome to the madhouse,

just searched for SS1000 how can I help,

have you heard of our very own SaddleSore event The Longest Day in june sounds like that could right up your street everyone is welcome

[James691]

Snaphappy! Thank you so very much or danke for the donation!

I have not seen the longest day as of yet but will go and have a look at it. Sounds like great fun if it means you get to play on the bike all day long!!

Looking around for what the 'Lomgest Day' is and what is getting done. I did find a thread sticky and so on but that just tells me about tshirts and the like. Anyone know where the post is out what the event is, how to join in, when it happens etc?

Cheers

The 2008 longest day was John O'groats to Lands End on the longest day (21st June). Threads tended to get a bit hijacked and wander off topic but its all here http://www.xrv.org.uk/forums/longest-day-past-charity-rides/ Also over £15K raised for charity. It was great.

2009 event looks like being "5 Capitals", again all in one day on or very close to June 21st. 5 Capitals means visiting London, Cardiff, Dublin, Belfast and Edinburgh - and I think that's the planned order. Hopefully we will get some discount from one of the ferry companies and no doubt as plans emerge more infor will be available about overnight stays etc. Threads .... End to end 2009 and
What did we decide for TLD 2009 ??

Ah many thanks Austin, now that does sound like a fun day out indeed!
