So is the intention to use this new thread now the T-shirt is officially in service?
Title: Re: Fazer Owners 2013 Tour
Post by: dickturpin on 28 July 2013, 07:40:52 pm
Yes, I think so. I've contacted Red and he expects to be in Whitby tomorrow pm. I'll try and get some pics at handover
and add them on here. Hopefully others will follow on and keep this thread going.

Right folks...we're underway. Met Red98 this afternoon in Whitby (thanks for the coffee Paul) and after a chat took him to a local campsite before he heads north tomorrow.
Paul will pass on to whoever contacts him en route if a suitable time can be arranged but bear in mind he has limited internet access, maybe text him on his mobile which is shown on his avatar.(http://i465.photobucket.com/albums/rr19/dickturpin22/P1040631_zps7b12b2ca.jpg)

I'm setting one up now!  :)
Title: Re: Fazer Owners 2013 Tour
Post by: dickturpin on 29 July 2013, 06:39:35 pm
Not yet but there was an offer to do that.
I'm not really bothered about how it zig-zags across the country as long as everyone who wants to partake gets the chance. Perhaps making contact on this thread will work best???
No rush to get it back here...lets try and involve as many as possible.
The suggested charities were all regional and I assume people will want to donate to something local to them so that part of the mission is left to the individual.
There is a phone number and email address with the shirts if anyone wants to contact me.
I have also offered to start another one next year if the foccers want to repeat the event...with the benefit of whatever experience/lessons this years event brings.

Yes, open to all, keep an eye on the thread, offer to take it when it gets to your region, sign the shirt and arrange to pass to another foccer, and add a few quid to your chosen charity is the plan.

If I can get it at the next LoFos, or even the Rescue Rideout, I can take it to the Suvvenahs (the Loomies crowd).  :)

Good pictures Paul....looks like you're enjoying the trip.
If mirdif is struggling to find the next participant you may want to bring it a little southwards!
I'll leave that to you guys, hopefully he will sign it if it ends up back with you?

Had a text from Red earlier. He had a later getaway then planned this morning. I suspect he is up Wick/Thurso area after a wet ride north. Weather was pretty miserable today.

Mick, can you do Aberfeldy ?
Title: Re: Fazer Owners 2013 Tour
Post by: bigbluebear on 01 August 2013, 09:58:03 pm
I could maybe do Saturday or Sunday dependant on where you have got to, but with the pishing rain forecast on unscrubbed in tyres then maybe not.
Title: Re: Fazer Owners 2013 Tour
Post by: mickvp on 01 August 2013, 10:05:24 pm
yes, I could do aberfeldy provided we get some reasonable weather. when suits you?

then i could take it back down as far south as glasgow. any takers at that end?

Cheeky foc.    Shame I didn't know earlier I had gorgeous ladies on the ride, well not had personally. But they were there and would have made great models.
Point to note I only have 1 shirt.

Great to see we have movement again after a long winter...There were two shirts, a dye pen and a book to add any anecdotes as the shirts travel.....
It doesn't matter how long it takes and if they ever get back to me I will auction them on this site. The idea was if you sign it you put a couple of quid into a charity of your choice....we are all honest foccers here....at least we were when two shirts set off!!!!!!!!

As for getting the 'shirt' (one must have done a Crocodile Dundee)  to spring meet should I not pass it to some one else to do the rounds down south? 
I don't mind either way

Couldn't be bothered to read all 7 pages of this thread, but if the t-shirt's anywhere in Bucks, Herts, Middlesex, London, area I'm happy to take it and take it around some central London landmarks.

If red's got it, we're not that far from each other... could pick it up tomorrow or saturday, outside of MotoGP hours of course!  :)

Dazza, has a photo of the T-Shirt at Rye and video of the Spitfire.

I may be driving down to Gillingham on Wednesday, and looking at the location, could possibly pick it up en route or on way back. Bring it to NW London, and then maybe a pic at Wembley Stadium, then depending on time, somewhere in central London or Camden. Then pass on to someone who's going to the spring meet...


Please PM me if it would be possible to pick it up from Essex on Wednesday, and I will confirm if I'm definitely going (awaiting an email).

If you want to meet and take it before then suggest a time and place (East london, Essex) to meet for a handover.
 
we could get it onto the continent (Ypres, Menin Gate etc) on 6th July, see LoFos in YPRES thread.

It appears that the shirts have fallen into the wrong hands guys...very little movement this year : (

What make of alarm is it?

Usually alarms have their own internal backup battery and changing the bike battery should not cause any problems with the alarm.

Did you tighten the battery terminals bolts properly after changing the battery?
