Bottom of the high street behind the clock tower there is a pub, the Red Lion. Anyone fancy a beer at one oclock ish?

Was good to see you guys today and be blessed with lovely weather, brilliant turnout with an estimated up to 450 bikes through the gates from Jacks hill meet up.
Each year the crowds get bigger and this time was no exception, well organised I thought apart from having to walk most of the way there once we had parked the bikes.  :lol

Quote of the day:
Where are we ?
Brackley
Where's Brackley?
You know where Northampton is ?
No
Near Silverstone....
Where's that ?
The midlands (.... /sarcasm) ..wait a min, I'll get Google maps.

Opinions are like A**holes, Everyone has one.  Some people seem to have more than one though which is a bit odd.

Oh, it was nice to meet you all some of you  :lol by the way.
I think we need lessons in humour though cos the entire days joking was way too surreal for even me to even comprehend.

One example was the discussion on doubletaps.  Surreal.  http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DoubleTap

Sorry, only just seen this after returning, would have popped in to meet you guy's if I'd known, but was with a few others, you would have easily spotted us, my mate was about the only one on a 125 Scooter! Sorry if we held anyone up on the way down! Good day out, weather excellent too!

Good day out, and good to meet some more Foccers, Fazer owners are a strange lot! :lol
Simonm, Christo, Doddsie and myself were involved in the weirdest conversation I ever hope to have, still not sure I know what it was all about!  :eek
Christo's new nickname = double-tap - I'll leave it to him to explain why  :rollin
Very evocative sounds at Brackley as they ran all the old race bikes, 4 strokes, 2 strokes, twins, fours, just about everything you could think of, superb  :)
Photos later when I've put my feet up for a bit.

Cheapskate, bacon roll and a cuppa come free with the rideout!!!!  ;)

Okay then we will tell them at Jacks Hill that you said it's okay only I didn't think the café gave free tea or bacon.  :rolleyes
I must have miss understood thought that it was free entrance and refreshments at Brackley for the pre booked   :2fingers


See, told ya, see, see, told ya, see ;) .  I can see why the bacon roll was free, you certainly wouldnt of payed for it!!

The only bacon roll I've ever had that actually dehydrated me! But made up for it with the hog roast and a nice ale at the Red Lion pub in Brackley, mmmmmmm!

My bike was parked round the back at Jack's Hill - and the stench of sewage was rank. Made me feel queasy after that butty!!
