The day started off for me at 5am ready for a 6am pickup by the good Dr S, (cheers Si )
As usual Si, had his formula 1 racing head on again , heading at speeds close to warp factor 12, toward dalby for breakfast .. The amount of sheep that must have thought there days were numbered :shock: :shock: as they saw this turbo charged yellow vito coming toward them..... :shock: :shock: nothing stopping the good Dr from getting his breakfast on time, apart from the usual pit stop for me to hurl up
We arrived in the car park, as usual early, waiting for the rest of the retrobike massive to turn up... this was time enough for the Dr to drag his 38lb Klunker out of the van ..
She needed a few adjustments, and luckily Si had his multitool on him...
Obviously the choice for me (sithlord) was the newly cleaned and assembled ritchey
Next to turn up was Andy_b on what can only be described as a motorcycle, but sadly he had forgot to bring the engine..
Lots of 'Test' riding , ensued over the next 20mins waiting for the rest of the crew to turn up.. Dr S was having second thoughts about getting round the intended route , and there was talk of him using his 'backup bike'
Sinnett and reanimation turned up next and yet further talk of the 'klunker' and the distinct lack of brakes was debated
The Dr said that the brakes were spot on and were plenty good enough as he did'nt use them much anyway
'honestly when you pull that lever it does move the canti..
a healthy english breakfast was then had by all , The good Dr having a 'belly buster' to make sure he had plenty in reseve to haul his beast of a bike around the intended route.. a special guest appearance for breakfast turned up ,Tim (justbackdated, really nice to see you fella ) , although he had thrown us , as he had lost his 'captain hook' mustache..
a quick drive to the forest saw the arrival of MJM and P20 and after a little fettling by all the wide variety of bikes were ready to go.
The rest of the day was filled with fun and frolics, which I'll leave someone else to fill in.. as I the sun is shining and the trails are calling..
Thanks to you all for a great ride yesterday... take it easy...
