    Wanna meet and come wiv us ????...





    Of course...this could be just a malicious rumour....

    What route will you be taking down. That's the sort of time I will be heading off from Oxford, if it's not to much hassle I could meet you somewhere on the way, unless that makes it all to complicated.

    EDIT: I will now be leaving around 10.00 - 10.30 so ignore the above ,

    If I can get my act together I will meet at the Ace.

    Depending on the work situation. I may join you...otherwise I'll peg it down (as it were) after work on Thursday. More likely to be an evening solo ride down though I imagine.

    Save me a space in the Rykas Cliquey Snorey Corner

    It's looking like I won't be going to the National now.

    I've had no luck sorting the the Alp engine.

    Arranged to view a bike tomorrow...Fella said that suited him better than today, then phoned this evening to tell me it was sold...not happy but not surprised either....seems to be the way people operate nowadays.....Not much integrity about

    I accept it....'bird in the hand' and all that......

    Anyway.....probably blows my chance of the National.

    I'm not done yet though.....

    My other bike is free, not for off-roading but everything else.

    Re: The Ace to the National

    Thanks for the offers chaps (where else would this happen, eh? ).

    I must, however decline....I could never be comfortable with someone elses bike...I couldn't enjoy it.....So thanks ...but.....

    I haven't given up....just don't want to fall in the trap of buying a bike in a hurry.....

    'course, I have noticed that near Dartmoor there's an adventure style bike for sale........get meself there early on... buy the bike unseen.....nip round to the camp site and set up tent..simple....(except for the tent bit )

    Beginning to lose it

    Cabby,
    Buy mine off me for the weekend and sell it me back on Monday.

    If it makes you feel better.

    But I have come off rather stupendously since then myself. Mind you, with the Hagon shock on, we'd have to get him some high heels so he could reach the ground
