We met up with some guys from Wangas at Hunterville, black cb13 and RF900. The guy on the RF wouldn't let us take the rh bits off his bike to repair Yods bike unfortunately.

YAWWWWWWWN!!!!!!!

I thought that may have been you at the back of the pack Bonez. I waved to Bazza when I passed him at Cheltenham. I can't believe he was still there when you guys called in. I had hoped to make the ride today after chores, but I was a little late, so decided to take the Mrs out for a ride this afternoon. It looks like you had a good turnout anyway!

oops..... i guess that was a little harsh

Pity you missed the ride today, it was a good one I found Bonez and chanceys corner of doom rather suddenly, thank you ABS brakes

missed a sheep by very little and had fun dodging rather large piles of horse shit on the road that seemed to go on for a very long time, think that horse needs a vet. Met a couple of guys at Hunterville, one on an RF that had been repaired after being written off, wouldnt have known if he hadnt have told us but alas he was unwilling to part with the right side of his bike. Sorry Yod we tried
A great ride and a good way to spend a Sunday
Got told off when i got home though,

it appears i forgot it was Mine and Monies 17th wedding anniversary today ... its a bloke thing we all forget..........dont we ?

I was feeling a bit off today. Combination of being tired and cold and just blah really. Thought I would go out on the bike to clear my head.
Turned out to be a good ride. Nice and pacey up Halcombe hill turned into a "Where the fuck are we?" out the back of middle of nowhere onto Hunterville for lunch before a run down vinegar hill.
The cafe at Hunterville seems to be working out better now and their pies are mint.
Got a few pics

pic 1. Police lineup
pic 2. A rose between a thorn and a tanker
pic 3. Essential smoke stop
pic 4. someone needs to clean their bike!

**86GSXR** · 20th April 2008, 21:51

Cool pics, I especially like the third one. It's so typical to just stop and park up in the middle of the firken road eh

**cowboyz** · 20th April 2008, 21:56

I seem to recall that someone wanted a smoke at the time!

**86GSXR** · 20th April 2008, 22:07

Ah, yes, thats right

**cowboyz** · 20th April 2008, 22:15

Oh. and if your anything like me and have no idea where we went this is what come off the gps..........

**yod** · 20th April 2008, 22:46

Hehe,naughty guy,but you didn't forget the anniversary did you?Nope you went for a ride so she could enjoy the wonderfull day doing whatever she wanted to do,afterall it was her day,and thus that was your gift to her for the wonderfull years together.Priceless as the add says.

Well done on the anniversary,something to be proud of.

And as a guy you have probably forgotten all of them since day one,so no problem.
