My thanks to..........

Many thanks to Mu and Mike for the use of the pub and for the raffle
prizes, and a big thanks to the ever wonderful staff of the pub for the
excellent way they treat us. A total of about 60ish quid was raised for
Papworth Hospital from the sale of raffle tickets and on behalf of
Champ and Team UKRM I'd like to thank Hog for donating the X-Boxen, and
AJ and WavyDavy for bidding so well for them.

I dunno about you lot and tbh I don't really care, but I had a good
time.

I'll let those with something resembling a memory tell the tales of
drunkeness and debauchery, but in closing I'd like to express my
gratitude to those people who turn up the the OSMs and make them
worthwhile staging, especially those newbies who appeared this time.

Thank you all.

Btw, I'm not gay or owt.

 

Well done Loz... Another winner.

My thanks to all the BH bods for putting up with me especially Mu and Mike,
and her with the nice arse ). Thanks to Muck for a blast on the screamer
and Leslie for putting up with my drunken drivel (do they sell baileys in
France ;o)).

Looking forward to the next one.

 

yes thanks all..and Laura did claim the X box from my car when I
dropped her off..

 

Well done guys

Check the pictures. ;-)

 

Hear hear

Superb, as usual.

No, thanks to you for sorting it out, capital fellow.

Yeah, right

I think this one has been the best one so far, despite how effing cold
I was when I arrived! And the BH does go out of its way to accomodate
us all, including laying on extra coffee well after breakfast has
finished, for no extra charge. Once again I'll be recommending the BH
to people venturing into that area.

And, many many thanks for doing your bit to organise it, roll on the
EOSM!

Real burds don't take hormones, they rage naturally

 

Excellent hosts they were, superb food too.

 

Indeed. Mu and Mike need a special mention for putting up with me and Monz.
They really do get out of their way to sort stuff out.

Yeah, that'll sort out at least a pair of tyres...

To say the least. Did have a go on the Minging Courier of Whinging Courier
and it was a hoot. Good thing I was told it once was a CBR1000. I wouldn't
have guessed. Oddly enough, not that many people were to happy for me to
have a go on their bike.....

Pictures later....

No, thank you

Yeah, right. BCB seems more straight than you

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Lozzo amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom:

Thanks to you, too, Loz. I'm not one for big speeches but I had a great
time.

 

and thanks to the BH for another fantastic BOSM too. Was good to see
everyone as we've not been around much over last coupla years )

Cheers all

 

except whilst pissed and talking about paper and plastic bags..

 

Wot 'e said.

It was good to put some voices to the Lucida Console that I normally
read. A few were as expected but there were a couple of surprises too.

See you again for the MOSM.

 

Definitely a Beginning of Summer.

Ride down was slightly damp and cold although there wasn't any actual
heavy rain. I did start to dream of Goldwing shaped feet warmers.

Food was excellent, as always. There was plenty left for me even though
I was over half an hour late (Manchester refused to let me pass without
a couple of scenic detours).

How many bikers does it take to to put up £9.99 Asda disposable tent ?
I'm not saying that several rum and cokes had impaired my senses but a
little help from Wavy Davy was most welcome.

Dodgers mobile disco topped off the night with some classic "Goldwing"
music.

I didn't feel jealous of Tallblokes 8p an hour heated tent, rum has the
same effect. Although at about £2.50 every fifteen minutes isn't quite
as cheap but at least the effect lasts until morning.

Great cooked breakfast and coffee delayed my start just long enough to
see Platys horizontally opposed twin in all it's three wheeled
monstrosity splutter into life. Looked just a little bit too dangerous
to have go though !

Ride home was in glorious sunshine with clear blue skies. Couldn't
believe there was a warm wind blowing, all thoughts of Goldwing foot
warmers were well and truly melted by the sunshine.

Made good progress home although the sun glinting off the speedo meant I
couldn't tell what speed I was going sometimes. Didn't get stopped by
the police this time so here's hoping.

Missed the turnoff to Piercebridge (Tallbloke suggested the route) after
stopping for fuel at Scotch Corner. Decided to just stick to the A1
after that. Although I'm sure I've gone that route once before and it is
a lovely ride. Maybe next time.

Had a good time and the sunshine all the way home just made it that
extra special.
