Just had heads up.
Apparently a "gang" who shall remain nameless is a bit short of cash at the moment. To cover the shortfall they are following motorcyclists home, then returning at a later date to pick up the bike and move it on for some readies. I don't know how true this is, but it pays to be safe rather than sorry.
Lock them up folks!

If they nick mine they will have my thanks. (insured for a fair bit more than it is worth)

Anyone going for a Saturday PM ride

**MSTRS:Me** · 7th March 2008, 08:53

Weather is looking good, so perhaps we will just have to, eh?

**Dooly** · 7th March 2008, 09:00

I'm keen for Saturday.

Only prob is the missus is dragging me to the Horse of the year show in the morning to see Mark Todd ride Blyth Tait around the arena.

I might not make the meet spot in time so can someone txt me where you're heading when you decide and I might catch up on the way somewhere. Thats if I'm not there in time.

Hey I am heading to Woodville tomorrow, at a stretch I could run you into Palmy

let me know if you are interested

P.S Its on the bike

**Maffoo** · 7th March 2008, 15:06

how far is woodville from palmy? & what time are you going?

**Zukin** · 7th March 2008, 15:09

About 20 - 30 minutes (its the small town you go through before you go through the Gorge)

I would need to leave here at 8ish if I was to take you all the way to Palmy and then make it back to Woodville for a 10.30am meeting time

Oh and I ride a BMW

Some people dont like em, but I do ride it like a nana (most of the time aye MSTRS

)

Cheers Scott
