Hi guys
OK I know this isn't the right forum, but not many of us UK guys seem to look in the rides and events forum.
Maybe because they are few and far between, if you don't belong to RAT or the TOC.
If anyones up for a ride out to meet, chat, compare mods, have a cuppa and a bacon sarny.
Weather permitting I'll be here on Sunday the 15th July at about 1 ish.

Wesson's Bike Cafe

Hope to see some of you Bonnie owners there.

Jon, I'm up for meeting up at Wessons sometime.
But right now I'm geting over a hernia op, so it'll be at least another 2 - 3 weeks before I can ride any reasonable distances on the Thruxton.
I'll get in touch when I'm back to full riding fitness!!

Dropped you an e-mail Jon, just picked this up yesterday,

I'm up for it weather permitting.
It would seem we're a healthy lot, Garry's hernia and I'm in hospital having a "procedure" on the 16th but I will be able to sit on a saddle on the 15th :wink:

Seems like an interesting place - an eclectic mix of machines. I like the gnarly death-bike with what seems to be vegetation growing on it.

Jon...
Wesson's looks like my kind of joint. I'd be there but for the wee pond in the way.
Cheers!

Guys this thing is getting a bit spread over all the forums.
So i thought the best idea would be to make another e-mail account to colate everything together.
That way I can colate everyone's e-mail addy's and we can get something together so we can all meet up over a suitable and sensible time scale. Bearing in mind we all have different commitments etc.
I hope the moderater will allow this.
Mail me at
uksoundy@yahoo.co.uk
nice one
Jon (UK)
