You can't miss it Deano. It's bang in the middle of Newtown on the a483 and Andy has been there plenty of times.

I've not had one single full day out on the bike in the UK this year.

Sounds like you need to come Duke. Could be the last full day out of the year with the way the weather has been.

Can we not twist your arm ???

Sadly not. I have had a pretty rough year with work. Lost quite a bit at the start of the year when a client decided to retire. It was good paying work and its been impossible to replace with similar.

And the governments insistence on just making every thing I do have a deadline with a financial penalty if you fail to reach it has just put big additional pressures on me.

Have a good day though. Hope the weather improves on what we have here at the moment.

Traffic problems means I've had to go straight to Crossgates. Had a good play though on some roads I've not used for a while like the 4113 and 4110.

Getting fat problems meant I had to miss out altogether
Got everything out this morning, went to pull up the zip and it broke. Tried to bend it to fix it but made it worse. I started trying to duck tape them together but realised it wasn't a great plan. Trying to decide now whether to get it fixed, go on a diet or buy new leathers in the winter sales...
Hope everyone managed to meet up at some point and had a good one.

Shame you couldn't make it Duke and Andy.

Typically great tankslap day and very enjoyable.

Sensible riding but we did make progress through out the day and I think I did about 340 miles all in.

Good to see you Kwacky and Deano. Really good day and thanks for your company.

Great day out. Thanks to Blade and Deano for coming out. Cheers to Blade for leading.

No worries mate I enjoyed myself. Let's do it again soon

Sorry to hear you couldn't get there Andy. But sounds like.it was a cracking day for you all who was able to make it.

Love the new colour scheme Kwavly looks superb and looks like you've really done her justice [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES]

Quid question. I notice when you head out you have a tail bag bag it looks small. like enough for water proofs and wallet or whatever. May I ask where did you find it, make, how much does it fit in it? Looks ideal for a day trip as may look for something like this when it's Christmas and treat myself

No worries Rossgo it's a kriega us5 dry bag.

5 litre capcity and enough for waterproofs and wallet etc.

I also have a us10 and us20 plus loads of other kriega kit as really good quality kit and they can all strap together so really useful module travel kit. Highly recommended.

Thanks for the link Blade. Looks good quality thinking of picking one up for next years ride outs.

When do you think you might purchase it Rossgo ?

Drop me a pm if soon mate as I have a discount code you can use at getgeared from my last purchase and they are a top class customer serviced focused outfit too.
