There's nothing quite like taking the old pan out for a morning to take in the views of the
A24 and then a gentle wobble home on the back of a breakdown truck with Mr health and safety _________________ Rust is lighter than carbon fibre! |

So the first run of 2016...
Big thanks to everyone who made it, great to see some faces again and meet nappa for the first time (top chap)
As is customary the first run claims a victim this time in the form of Carnages motorcycle..
imageupload
Of course this left the other members 'disappointed'
image hosting 12mb
Nappa decided to make his feelings known
upload images
This ment the forum members had to direct traffic away from the hazard of motorcycles parked on the side of a duel carriageway, after a lack of action in moving over from a vast number of the general public Carnage decided to assist them in spotting the parked machines
upload gambar
cos you know hitting these wouldn't be fun for anyone
image hosting
following the polite 'Do one' requested by the recovery guy, the intrepid remaining members carried on to at last arrive (for some) at breakfast
picture hosting
Here we were!
screen shot on windows
Fed and watered the members dispersed to significant others, mothers and other plans.
All in all a good day slightly marred by the loss of (perhaps for the first time in history.. A PAN
)

Thanks chaps _________________ The Resident Forum Ghost

Thanks for the company guys, and to Loco for organising. Very nice of Pete to give us more of an opportunity to natter rather than all that motorcycling nonsense! Hope the bike is an easy fix mate.
Apart from the obvious it was a good day out. Was a bit nippy on the way back from Brighton. It was the snow that did it.
Here's to the next one. _________________ So many roads, so little time. |

Yeah shame about Pete's bike but was a fun day anyway.
Nice to see old faces and to meet Loco finally.
Had a good ride home with Jimbo except for the snow..
First of many BHF rideouts hopefully.
