[Dimitis]

Sorry but I will have to pull out of this ride out. All available finance has become a sofa for me to rest my tiered hard working body. That is after wife's instruction

[red98]

Not looking good for me either  :\....used the bike for work the last couple of days, tuesday it struggled to start, turned over for a long time before it started, always starts within seconds even on freezing mornings.today was the same but when I came to come home it wouldn't start , had to get a lift home and leave it there.......theres a bit of play  in the ignition, been like it for years, that and the fact I cant hear the fuel pump ticking makes me think its the ignition barrell......wont have time to look untill saturday morning.....with exception to the stutter I had the old girl has never let me down in 14 years of ownership......hopefully with a bit of that contact cleaning stuff I'll be ok....if I need parts iam fooked.....my thou in bits and not taxed so cant use that either.....hatd being without a bike  :'(

[ChristoT]

Deefer has full lock sets available.

[kitcrazy]

cant make this one got to run the bike in for 600 miles and a fazer run is not the place to do it :'( see you guys next time have a good one :thumbup

[HarryHornby]

Red, you can't bail...... who's going to buy my tea on the day??????  :\

[Dead Eye]

All in all the weather isn't looking particularly great this weekend

I'll be hanging on until the morning to figure out exactly how bad it is going to be. Off on Saturday morning to get the bike cleaned and ACF treated

[red98]

Chucking it down this morning as I left for work so couldn't be arsed to put the trailer in the back of the pick up so the fazer is spending another night at work  :o....trailers now in the back of the pick up so I can bring the old girl home tomorrow, still didn't want to start when I tryed lunchtime and no fuel pump ticking so iam still thinking ignition switch....hoping I can fix it in time for sunday.......NOGGY, thanks for the offer matey...CHRISTO, how much commission is DEEFER paying you  :pokefun.....HARRY, if I dont see you sunday I'll catch up with you another time  :thumbup

[eddie]

Right you lot so is it deffo  saffron Walden Tescos 11:00..if so may just find my way there as it's only half hour away from ome :lol

[HarryHornby]

Yes Eddie, weather permitting and if any of us can actually find the tescos we'll be there!!!!!  :-)


If it's some rain for the day I'll still go, if it's chucking it down I think we postpone.

[HarryHornby]

I reckon we will be ok on Sunday, especially in the morning/early afternoon.  Sittingbourne gives rain from about 4pm but saffron is showing sun and cloud all day.  As the week has gone on the weather has become more favourable so fingers crossed.


Is everyone ok with the plan?


11.00 Saffron Waldon Tesco


For the local(ish) lads is that a sensible meeting place?


If you decide on the day that you're not up for it, please text me or Dazza so we don't end up waiting.


I'll PM everyone my number later today.

[Dead Eye]

All sounds good to me and great work in trying to organise everything Harry

[eddie]

If val and I are not there at 11:00 please don't wait for us.

[Kosmic Kartman]

Gonna have to duck out of this as I've come down with some sort of virus bug man flu. Feel and look like shite so probably not a good idea to go nutting about on bikes.

If by tomorrow I make a miraculous recovery I will be there but I very much doubt it.

[stevie-g1968]

woss goin on...I go away for a couple of days and people start dropping like flies :rolleyes

so paul, any joy?.....bri, are you still going?  punkstig, are you?

[mtread]

Just a thought everybody. Clocks go forward tonight, so early start tomorrow

[bri h]

Im hanging back to see what the weather does. doesnt look promising

[HarryHornby]

It's really not looking good, they've gone from cloudy, sunny rain to RAIN  :'(


Do we just call it a day tonight and plan for another date?

[stevie-g1968]

ive been looking on various weather sites and its been getting worse as the afternoon goes on.....95% chance of heavy rain and high winds in the morning for me here :rolleyes

think im going to skip it, I may have a potter in the afternoon if it dries up?? :rolleyes

[mtread]

BBC weather map says a lot of rain about 10:00 am, but lessening afterwards
