That was due to the fact there was no l-platers/newbies - prolly for the first time ever. Normally a bit cruisier than that.
Good to see some new faces - well done that man coming over from the 'Rapa
and nice to see Lias visiting from Hmtn.

Merry Xmas to you all.

If its fine next week I might start my CWNR early in the morning.....and not come back for a day or two!

Thank you. I was actually a bit off form last night. The wind was putting me off etc. etc. I def won't be there next week if its on. I'm heading down south for 3 weeks. Yay!! So see you all next year, which I shall dub: "the year of the 600"...hopefully.

I know what you mean - motorcycles of modest HP get a bit affected by the wind (especially head ones) in a way our 50+ bhp friends don't quite understand..... ;-)

ps - That car at Judgeford.... I don't know my VW's from my Mitsis apparently but in my defence it was ablaze from end to end when I first saw it...

Sorry guys. I said I would come but once I got home and sat down I just couldn't manage to get up again for the ride.

**ceebie13** · 21st December 2006, 18:11

Yeah, me 2. I was intimating we'd be there but the wind and two G&T's won over on us I'm afraid. Sorry chaps! Still...once the New Year gets in swing then there will be no stopping us! Yahooooo!!!

Thanks for the great ride! That was my first Wednesday night ride. So how's it feel to be behind a 32 year old bike! huh!

Am looking forward to the first Wednesday night ride next year. Good to catch up with you Paul NZ and Wayne 708.

Safe riding to you all over the Christmas and New Year.

Looked OK from the seat of a 37 yr old bike

Personally, I can't tell all you modern 70's stuff apart Jeff...

Good to see you to and what a great range of wonderful motorcycles covering every decade from the 60's to right now. Fantastic stuff when you think about it.

Roll on summer.....

Here here! I hope there will be a sv650s under my tree this christmas - but I suspect it will be my birthday instead ;-)

Now I was following that yella Norton and he was honking it along with the sports bikes like a pro.

Nice footwork into the corners where you were getting worried Jeff

(sort of feet off the pegs and stabbing at things style)
