Re: Birthday Bash
Weather forecast for Saturday is not good (wet,wet,wet) but Sunday looks much better. I'll have a ride across for a BMW burger.

Re: Birthday Bash
If weather is fine I shall join you. Any idea what time you are likely to be there?
I shall be on the VFR so should stand out like a sore thumb!

Re: Birthday Bash
It opens at 11am on Sunday so I'll probably get there at noon to allow the BBQ to get going.

Re: Birthday Bash
I have to back tomorrow as well!tomorrow there's biker girls too !!!!
The free food was very good and there was plenty of it for everyone. The 'noise' from the group/band was too much to bear for me so I stayed inside till it finished.

Re: Birthday Bash
Me and Glenn (Teetwothousand) had a good ride over to Preston and discovered a good cafe near Skipton on the way. Glenn introduced me to Marty (Tango), John (Farmerboy), Tony (Tony the Skin) and Bill Smithson.........good to meet you all and I hope to see more of you at next years bike meets. Glenn was looking lovingly at an R1200gs LC that he spotted in the approved used bikes, it was a nice low mileage bike with lots of extras............I think it could be an early Xmas present to himself.

Re: Birthday Bash
Likewise good to meet up with the usual suspects again, and a new face to me Alan, nice to meet you.
See you in Haslingden on Thursday.
Ced very noble, but such a waste of good weather
