How about Ace Group and Blackheath Group travel separately to Thurrock services and meet there in comfort with fuel hot drinks and "other" facilities before heading off for Burnham Bends, would just need a time to work to????


so basically main meeting point is Thurrock services :)

mtread, Watery Lane along with South Hanningfield Road were both closed yesterday hence the detours, suspect with the rain due this week they'll stay that way.

Weather is beginning to look pretty atrocious for Sunday (more so in the South West where I am) so I may have to give this a miss :(

Good point. Bad weather plan, huddle at the Ace with tea?

Hmmm, should be dry, but will be a spot windy. Not liking the sound of that 27mph winds in Southend....

If the rideout gets scrubbed, plan B is the Ace cafe with tea.

I can make it to the Ace tomorrow at 12 - won't be able to do the ride unless I can meet you guys somewhere later on as I have important intl call @ 9am (bloody time zones for you).

TBH, as I look at it pissing down through the window, tea @ Ace seems more appealing right now...

Group 1 leaves the Ace Cafe at 9:00am
Group 2 leaves Blackheat at 9:30am
 (Both arriving nearish 10am)

Set off at 10:30ish / 11 on Red Ceri's route.  :)

Where's the rendez-vous and ETA in Southend? As I'll be in the cage, I'll go straight there.

BAD WEATHER PLAN: Ace Cafe and cuppas.

Sounds good, as I need to pick up a swingarm for the Christofighter. :-)

Christofighter 8) ...i love it!, we can be like the Blues brothers....obviously ill be the fat one!


Christo on a serious note....is the plan to go with the mega plans for an uber fighter or do you just want a basic fazer on the road???


What im thinking is if you just want a running fazer & you get a project or all the components then maybe jus maybe amongst all us foccers there could be all the bits you need just lying around in sheds and garages that you could be donated.


For example i might be prepared to donate you a standard end can & 2 front calipers (calipers that used to be yours).......but if this makes sense, not bein funny but i wouldnt donate stuff if you then went out & bought like a fancy r1 swing arm or whatever for silly money.


Anyway just a thought, all the parts are probably out there just sitting around gathering dust.shame really coz you already had most of them but hey you didnt know America would go tits up did ypu.
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike

I'm going to wing it and see what the weather is like tomorrow morning. I'll be aiming for the Ace, but may end up trying to get to Thurrock in time... its a long ass ride and I don't do early mornings :P
