Chepy was Good. Thanks TOG

Chris and I had a great time. so much so that she can't wait till the
next time.

We had a very wet ride down from Newbury to Dover with Platy and
brother. however France was dry. We missed the 10:45 ferry but Salad
dodger was unable to get on the first ferry anyway for lack of tie
downs. We got on the 12:300 in glorious sunshine. It took us 4 hours (40
mins to get out of Calais) following the advice given by Snipers GPS. It
took us 70 mins to get back from Chepy to Calais this morning. We caught
the 11:45 ferry. It was good to see Prawn on the ferry, the fix I did
was still working. It was good to see everyone again. Till next time.

Thanks again TOG from Simon and Chris. Photos to follow...

HTF did you manage that then?

FOUR hours to go 80 odd miles?

 

Aye. I made it home in good time.

AONTL.

 

We really need a number for GPS Muppets.....

 

*Ahem*. A solo effort it was not!

 

1:1 mapping, isn't it?

 

I enjoyed it too. Fantastic trip, very relaxing, although possibly best
summed up as..

"The French heard UKRM was coming over, so they closed the country for
the weekend."

 

Us too. Things learnt over the weekend:

1. Not getting utterly shedded in the evening makes riding the
following morning a lot more bearable.
2. Blackbirds have considerable engine braking, which is unfortunate
when this coincides with the GoldWing engine room *just* shovelling in
a few more tons of coal.
3. Ford Pumas with baked bean can exhausts can't outdrag fully laden
GoldWings.
4. Frog nosh is top stuff. (not a lesson, just a reminder)
5. Don't drink lots of beer if the label has a duck on it.
6. Keep Nigel Eaton away from any expensive items of furniture.
7. Don't share a bath with Fr. Jack.
8. Don't buy a Triumph Trophy from a Bristol dealership.

Ahem. In my defence, it was as I took my weight *off* the chair that it
detonated. In relief, presumably.

And it was inferior Frog plastic, too.

Oi! Cheeky. I was up at the crack of eleven, and in Calais in time for
the 14:30 boat.

Top nosh, top food, top folk.

Aye. My first frog run, and indeed my first forrin trip on two wheels.

Mr Togster cheers muchly for arranging and to everyone else for a good time.

 

Humph

 

Does that mean the food was twice as good as the company?

 

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Porl

Oh arse...

Clearly I *meant* top booze. But the top booze has yet to wear off
completely.

Perhaps I should try the "puke in the bath" method of cleansing the
system...

 

I thought it meant he planned to eat the company.
