Been wanting to do this for a while but things kept cropping up in previous years so count me in

Did you know I was going to say that you had missed it this year, then I realised that the group ride i was going on which met up with several people who were about to depart for the bridge was a year ago!!! Gulp.

My brother and me have already got our tickets as I been to the last 5.

I thought I had missed it this year as well because I could have sworn it was in the Spring for some reason $:\$

Supposed to be sun/showers so i'm gonna go along , be my first time .

I'll see what the weather forecast is a little closer (I know, its pretty damn close already) just to be sure. Hoping it won't be too bad - not too worried about getting wet... I just don't want my shiny new bike to get dirty

fazer390 · « **Reply #10 on:** 18 October 2013, 04:11:54 pm »

The weather looks to be ok with maybe the odd shower, so I've got my waterproofs out just in case...

Dead Eye · « **Reply #11 on:** 18 October 2013, 04:25:21 pm »

Where are you checking the weather? Most that I can see seem to think that its going to be a monsoon tomorrow from early morning to mid afternoon

John Silva · « **Reply #12 on:** 18 October 2013, 05:44:04 pm »

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk and http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather says the same heavy rain showers.

I already got a ticket tho.

So may have to dig out my old waterproofs and brave it.

Weather is so unpredictable damnit :P

I'm still looking to attend... just have to wait and see... the weather has been a bit better than predicted over the past week - at least in my opinion

esetest · « **Reply #14 on:** 19 October 2013, 07:24:24 pm »

Haven't been on the bike for nearly a fortnight , need my fix ,so I'm going tomorrow the weather can go foc itself .

went last year but felt out of place. didnt have a dilligaff badge on my leather, 'look at me, i'm a twat' badge-covered cut-off, or a bandana or a fat gut or a harley or leather chaps. think i'll go ride on my own instead.

I been to a few and I have never felt out of place, I wear 2 piece black leathers no badges, cut offs or bandana.
Tomorrow I will be wearing my plastic romper suit

(because of the wet weather)

We get enough stereotyping from cage drivers and the media without doing it ourselves, after all we are a two wheel family dont you think.

I'm all ready to go. Hope to see a few foccers there...

esetest · « **Reply #20 on:** 20 October 2013, 08:51:57 am »

Getting my gear on , hopefully the bike will start , and I will see a few other foccers there .

Dead Eye · « **Reply #21 on:** 20 October 2013, 09:56:40 am »

I'm out and trying to meet up with some foccers so I'll see you guys there

two wheeled family?? i'm not related to any of you nutters! besides, i'm from the 600 brotherhood.

Just got back home in time for the heavens to open

The weather actually held off all morning so I didn't get a single drop on my lovely shiny bike ^^

It was a good ride, albeit slow, but that's sort of what happens when a couple of thousand bikers take to the same roads in one day :P

John Silva · « **Reply #24 on:** 20 October 2013, 04:22:39 pm »

I also got back home just as before for the heavens dump it down.
Was good to Meet Dead Eye and Fazer390.
The ride was good even tho my brothers bike started overheating.
Video of my ride will be on you tube as soon as I can edit it.
