Budd, are you bringing a truck with you to Wales to carry all this stuff or are you going to wear it on the way there and go home in nakedbudd wrote:hi guys as some of my know I’ve been testing/trying out back protectors of late and selling some of the spare ones on the forum, I've sold a few in the last few weeks and everyone seems happy with their purchases, I’m bringing a Dainese HPC back protector down for grumpyfrog, I’ll also be bringing with me a brand new Knox Aegis 8 plate protector and a nearly new (worn once) Knox Contour both are CE level 2 and both will be for sale, I’m looking for £50 for the Aegis ( that’s 1/2 price and it is brand new unworn) and £30 for the Contour (1/3 retail), as I said both are for sale but pleased note I’ll be wearing one or the other on the Sat ride out, so one will only be available from Sunday.
so if anyone coming down to Wales needs or is thinking of buying back protector bring some extra cash and buy one of mine,
Also I have a set of Tex-sport 1 piece leathers unfortunately they are Ducati branded and a bit on the small side, probably 38/40 chest so maybe not suitable for the VTR set but I’ll bring them anyway maybe they’d suit someones girl friend or younger sibling.
Looking for forward to a good do this weekend

Re: Op Storm II Part 5, Rhayader Sept 13th 2014
Hi guys
I am gutted, I needed a new split link in my less than 12 months old chain so I have written to the company I bought it off from Ebay and asked them if they do them or can they come up with a solution after we tried one off ebay and also went to M&Ps at the weekend and they tried loads, all too thin etc as I would have thought I'd get more from a chain than a year! I am still back n forth and if they send me a replacement chain I'm not sure now it will land in time and give dave enough time to fit it :-( Gutted BUT we aree only 46 ish miles away guys so please, if any of you want to take a ride over and come for coffee/cake etc more than welcome! I am happy to give Kev my address and post code as he has my numbers.
i'll get a look later as promised and post up some routes for you so you don't miss out on any great roads. I'm totally gutted cos the weather is bloody gawgus here and is set to continue for some time so I think this years camp will be much much warmer than last years cold cold overnight! I'm tempted to come up in my car on the sat night just for the craic and bit of banter and dave can have a drink and i'll drive us back. that is still an option i'm open to as flexi as had kept my dairy free for the Op Storm :-(

I was already doubtful after ex missus text me looking for a few hundred £ to get our daughter a replacement horse and she's going to look at it this fri, so with the trip to Assen next weekend and horse money and new battery etc etc etc I've gotta pull out

If you've never been to the Ponderosa Cafe, this is an ideal opportunity for those who've never been as you are a ride away and with the gorgeous weather we've been having, it's an excellent time t ohit those roads and get up to the caf.
Here is a link http://www.ponderosacafe.co.uk
One round route to take you there and back over some of the good roads:
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/Rhaya ... a3!1m0!3e0
For some reason I couldn't shorten the link on that page, sorry guys!
OR::: alternatively try this route the opposite way around and roughly 161 miles but would take some time to complete and the weather is to be on our side at weekend! Making it cracking day out if you leave by around 9.30am :-)

If you're not familiar with group rides or the second man drop off system, then please see link http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic ... 14&t=25791
all will be explained before we set of on a ride, if you're not sure about any part of it, please don't be embarrassed, just ask and someone will happily help
Good news, I've managed to book us all in at The Eagles Inn for Saturday night, see link, http://www.theeaglesinn.co.uk/bed-and-breakfast
for those that haven't been before it is just a short walk from the campsite and very biker friendly, the owner (Bob) said he has a dining room that will hold up to 24 people which he'll quite happily reserve for us.
So that's it guys and girls, not much more I can do now,
the rest is up to you whatever lights your candle
SEE YOU ALL TOMORROW NIGHT, I should be down there for about 6.30 / 7.00
