I know some of you UK riders subscribe to the U.K. Tiger Rides digest on yahoo. For those that don't, we are having our first 2004 ride-out, weather permitting on Sunday 29th Feb.

Meeting point is the Little (thief) Chef in Swindon. Riding around Wilts, Gloucs, and other bits down that way.

14 Tigers committed (should be!) so far, always a good giggle and good company. I am going with a couple of Tigers from Essex, Nepetsthegrey is a possible (work committments pending).

Good mix of Steamers and Efi's, and riding experience so all are welcome. 10:30 am depart time

Let me know on this forum and i will let Richie Waring know.

....must be mad...but what the heck!

Jim

How about you Robbie?

Freddy,
Good news if you are free, it would be great to meet you at last.

It might be that you could 'peel off' when we hit the northernmost bit of the run, that might cut down the distance home a bit ?

I am keeping it real with this one, the weather will be the guv'nor with this one!. Probably going to be a 4-500 miler for me, so i would appreciate + temperature!

Davie,

You would definately be the 'Iron butt' if you got down this way!

Cheers

Jim

I know the area reasonably well, but never done it on a bike. Need some training for my Euro run in May.

Don't know about iron butt, soft in the head maybe :razz: :razz:

Dont try balancing on yer head though plod would have a field day. I think I know the answer to this already but is the run restricted to Tigers or can I bring a mate along with his Sprint (we can make fun of him all day then :wink: )

If all you lot are going then I suppose Mohan must show up. I don’t want you lot talking behind my back. I will try and get a contingent together.

Picked up a bike yesterday for a M8 from Ashbourne. I rode the legend down. Susie rode back and I rode the other thing. Flipping cold really missed the heated jacket!

Freddy Tigers only or Susie will want to come on the legend and she will take the Mickey out of you all day.

:-D

Did he get a black one?
if yes i have a baglux tank cover going spare
