And Colin bless him, in the sag wagon making brews when we arrived, never forget that. He was excellent - always welcoming and taking to fizz out of riders who were majorly stressed after the event. A real classic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rode down to Lands End the day before the ride then rode back to NE England the day after.

I have limited holidays (based on family commitments) and I would like to do this event, I just wonder if we can arrange sone mutual bike transport which makes the event the priority, rather than the peripheral part of it. If I could afford 4 days of leave it wouldn’t be a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rode to lands end on the Sunday, did the ride on the Monday and got into bed at 5am on the Tuesday, got up at 7.30am and was on the bike again by 8.30am and rode all the way back to Bristol with just fuels stops . It was too much if I'm honest . Give yourself a break before you ride back . 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilSpike Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 If anyone is needing to source a bike, then I've just got just the ticket for you. A multi-successful, mighty, mighty steed of epic Ossumness™ for much cheapness and only needing a few very minor tweaks to once again rampage the length and breath of this Sceptred Isle.* *Accuracy of this information is not entirely guaranteed... 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilSpike Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 I do need this to go to another good LDU home. I might be able to deliver it somewhere around the UK if that helps, or will merrily help in getting it couriered somewhere.

originalracingsnake Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Mr @johnnymack63I have some questions based on the shit show that's been my life recently. 1. I've mentioned the K5 before. It's now thanked me by telling the CTEK to fuck off. So it needs a battery. 2. It decided it'd be great to head butt my classic car by falling off the stand. This has smashed off a mirror and needs some thought about turn signals for the MOT it hasn't had in years. I'd like to donate to charity other than cancer because 3 of my family have recently died from the effects of Alzheimers, and stroke. Issue? I'm getting a divorce. So will lose garaging and tools. Brilliant. Can I still take part? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
