Re: Didn't make the National...?

I didn't make the National, partly because I didn't know it was on, in turn caused by me having been ill this year and not ridden my bike since May.
Obviously not done much looking at this forum either.
So it was a bit of a shock when my wife and I went for a pie and a pint in Dent on Friday and found the place full of XRV owners!
We were camping at High Laning just the other side of the village, a snap decision on Friday brought on by the nice weather.

Bike is booked in for an MOT on Wednesday and I think I'm up for riding it again. Yippee
Cheers,
Dave

Was that you sat in the George & Dragon by the pool table?
I gave a XRV sticker to a fella who said he had an @?

Re: Didn't make the National...?

Yes that was me!
Sticker will be going on the bike today.

Brilliant weather on Saturday, shame it went downhill on Sunday. A good choice of venue too - we'd never been to Dent village before, as I said it was a spur of the moment decision to load up the car on Friday morning.
Cheers,
Dave

PS How did that Harley sneak in?
Actually it looked a bit good...

The field wasn't muddy it was grassy and dry just terrible really. It was awful having to wander round chatting to all those lovely people about bikes and meet so many friends all weekend. And then there was the awful drinking round a BBQ, I don't know how I survived

You are lucky you missed it mate we were all really miserable
