We will see, but we may yet be off to Brands for the WSB

Il be there on the 4th beer and chicken mmmmmmmmmm

might try if non blade riders are allowed, depends on if I can get a babysitter for the 5th cos as of yet I have kids that Sunday.

you are all more than welcome blade or not should be a good laugh :queen:

i,ll try and make but cant promise out im married to adolf

ooh i might come

I would love to eventually meet some folks... I am trying to get the day off, I wait with baited breath and of course a north eye on the weather ( could ride up with chunk and chick maybe and p900 ajr if Ash is up for it )...Provisionaly looking forward to it a lot... Will let you know closer hopefully.

ok I may be able to do this, but.....I cant get out till 10 am so unless time travel has been invented, I cant make the meeting point, soooo....whats the route? If I can get out I will catch up with en route....

I wouldnt worry too much about the 10.00am meet Gix, they will all have been up drinking through the night anyways and probably wont see 10!

:sleep: Who said 10am :shock:

hmmmmm looks like I have a babysitter, just gotta sort suspension out between now and then and I will be up for it with a bit of luck, and if no one minds a gixxer amongst the blades....

Leave work at 5pm Saturday (Solihull) and will travel up to you so hopefully should be there 6pm to 6.30pm!!!

that is cool gix you are very welcome to join us.
should have bbq warming up for when you get here karen

6 630 NO BEER left by then

Weather looking good both days

I am planning to leave work at 4.30pm (solihull) then off the the Bassetts Pole to meet Ash by 5pm. If you want to join/tag along on the journey no Probs.

NAR - but it is your round in the pub

right i need a head count i have gotta start to get stuff in so peeps that are coming to the bbq state your name (yes leggins i know you are coming)
i dont know the route yet as russ is sorting that but i think we are doing the snake pass. we might not be on the blade as russ might still be a bit sore so we might be taking his dads bmw. so we wont be really quick sorry but will do our best to keep up
dont forget those that are staying the night might wanna bring sleeping bags or an air bed unless you were one of the lucky ones that have blagged the sofa

I will be there Sunday morning

snake pass? on a sunday?
I should be joining you on the sunday morning but not keen on doing snake pass, may take a detour when you hit the pass and meet you further on.

Why's that then

the snake is fine on a sunday its not too bad russ likes to keep off the cat too many rozzers so you cant get up much speed
we shall see nearer the time but he knows loads of great roads get ready to clock up some milleage on sunday

I dont like the snake pass for several reasons, the gixer is pretty much a very focused sportbike with hard suspension, the snake is like riding on tarmac laid over boulders, coupled with the fact that the surface is breaking up badly, makes it a very unpleasant experience, add the tin snails, the fact that the snake and woodhead are the 2 major east to west routes means its busy during the week, and worse on a weekend. To me the snake is just a wider and longer highwayman, great for a supermoto. Its nearly as bad as strines in places

in other words you think its a bit poo

yep
some cracking roads round there, just cant understand why folk like snake pass when there are some much better roads in the surrounding area.
only good thing about the snake is the food/drink/toilet stop up by derwent damn opposite ladybower.

Both the Cat and Snake pass suck big time... loads of better roads/route's in that area that arnt overcrowded and over policed

We should take the route andy took me and mark on saturday woodhead then holmfirth into glossop whaley bridge then cat SUPERB
