thanks for a great weekend Phil, hope you got the tent down OK sorry I couldn't stay to help, it was great to meet everyone and I hope you all got home safe and sound. I've spent the day lounging on the sofa watching WSB (much to the wife’s displeasure: lol: )
edited so's not to reveal results for those who haven't seen the races :thumbup:

We're having lamb for tea which is sort of poetic justice after that suicidal sheep tried to kill me yesterday :eek2

It was great riding with you too Ady (and everyone else of course) it's been a good while since I was out for a decent ride hope to do it again real soon, I'll check the dates for Wales/Scotland and if I can make it I'd love to come along.

got home safe, had rain for about half hour down A1, but then sun for the rest of the ride home to Essex. Thanks for a great meet again and seeing old and new faces, looking forward to the wales trip now.

Gabi let me know when you want those ccts.

Thanks to all who went, a good crowd, and nice to meet a few that I hadn't met before.

Sorry for holding up the fast group; it turns out it was a split petcock diaphragm, and in order to keep petrol flowing I had to spend the entire weekend slowing down then accelerating- when slowing down there was enough vacuum to open the tap and fill the float bowls for another ten seconds of throttle open action.

Couldn't let the bike beat me, though, so I rode round it.

Ah well, it'll be fixed and running with the high comps, lumpy cams and a bit more power for the Wales run.


Flatty, you did us all proud, well done that man. :clap:

Got a little bit of footage of the roads after Hawes (I think that's how it was spelt?)

Thought I'd share :thumbup: (Show you all the slice of heaven you missed out on!)

Dunno why it's not full size within the youtube player though :(

Also, Warren and Tom thank Flatline for organising a good weekend and thank everyone else for making them feel welcome :thumbup: :D
