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

Sounds good. I'll drag me arse round there for 12 if it pisses down.

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

Shouldn't be a problem. I always travel at more than 27mph

If the rideout gets scrubbed, plan B is the Ace cafe with tea.
Re: Focced up Febuary - 1 year of LoFos - Fuzzy - 08-02-14
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...

Weather forecast here in Essex says fine all day tomorrow with no rain at all. What time are we meeting at Thurrock services?

BAD WEATHER PLAN: Ace Cafe and cuppas.

if we leave Thurrock services at 11 with a stop approx half way for fags or tea (at Burnham?) should be in SoS at 2ish.
Re: Focced up Febuary - 1 year of LoFos - mtread - 08-02-14
Sounds good

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.

Re: Focced up Febuary - 1 year of LoFos - Dead Eye - 08-02-14
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
