So ... we what do we think ... Dinner at Jacobees next door ... will speak to Elle-F ...

Same deal as Thursday - distribute leaflets - but this time bit to eat before returning home.

Meeting Rimutex: 3.30 leaving there at 4.00pm

Park up meet and greet party members out front from 5.

Dinner can be got from Jacobees (from 6 to 7) - Not normally open on Sundays but is happy to open for us!

[Diavolessa]

I'm definitely in for that :woohoo:

[Nasty]

Weather is looking naf later this week ... but it looks like the weather gods are on our side for Sunday!

[Azi Dahaka]

i think that would be nice but i may not be able to come would have to check my plans

[Rev DJ]

This is another great opportunity to keep the pressure on... it wont cut into your weekend as its late on Sunday, it is a great ride over the hill for those Wn-ites and we can keep the pressure on those who would see us priced off the road... Be there... DUCKPOND 3:15PM or RIMUTEX 3:30pm. Rev

Am thinking i might take the car ... so anything you guys want taken can come with me.

From the wai:

Yeah it's pretty breezy to be honest. Sou West and quite gusty so I would watch the hill.

[Ronin]

Wind is a Sou West so not the normal Nor West gale. Its a bit gusty but not anything like yesterday.

Not sure how bad the hill would be. Could well be a bit damp up there.

No Rain here though.

[wingrider]

see you all at Rimutex 3-30

[Nasty]

There are guys heading over early so they will send me a wind report once they are done on the hill.

Was a good turnout for a sunday afternoon ... around 8 of us greeted national party members at the door of the party and had lots of chats ... seems that people either:

a: had no idea
b: were really unhappy with the party!

So not a bad effort at all!

Well done guys :):)

[James Deuce]

Good work folks.

I have a list of excuses that boiled down to too tired and lazy to get off my chuff.

[wingrider]

Not what i was expecting.
Apart from 2 persons the others gave us a very good hearing and were supportive of what we were doing.

One guy tried to divert everything to other issues, then made the following statement.

"If you keep to the Motorcycle issue and dont try to bring in the general public issues then you might have a strong argument".

Our combined reply was
"but we are also the general public who just happen to ride Motorcycles".

At that point he chose to excuse himself so he could go and greet the other people.

Kari as usual was brilliant.

[craneman]

Good ride this afternoon chaps we need to keep up our presents.
