Damn I can't make it..... I have an interview in Bracknell at 16.00. That will take prob an hour. Then drive back home (in rush hour) and then to rehearsal in Portsmouth (in the Heron Pub/ Petersfield Road/PO9 2EN ) which starts at 19.30.......

But you will enjoy the company of my one and only Grüber

I wont be there, can still only take a few steps let alone swing my leg over the bike!

If it got out that Mich was planning to come along this evening to the D Day Museum of all places I can imagine all the old guys from the old folks homes around here gathering pitch forks and re forming a home guard welcoming party at the car park entrance

With Mich saying "Vot is yer name old man?" "It tis going in mee book"

My first Portsmouth Bike night. Good to meet/see y'all. Nice mix of bikes n people there.
Bit of a detour back to Eastbourne as the A27 was shut east of Worthing.

Shot off early to see Dorske audition for a band Good band,(Blackhouse) good performance Dorske .Thought more were going apologies if shot off without saying goodbye, had to follow Banjo as didn't know where pub was. (lost them at traffic lights anyway )
Didn't realise from description that your misfire was so bad Don. If it came on with engine temp rising have a think about rear cylinder temp sensor?
Good to see all...if only briefly

Over a dozen buells from my reckoning and many more buellers in attendance, a good evening and a real diverse range of machinery, did you see the WW2 BMW combinations near the entrance? One was an actual bike which was in Normandy!!
They looked as original as they did then, never seen paint or polish since, lovely, even had gun mounts on them. Rat bikes, trikes, old british classics and a lovely replica racing honda. Custom chops, old school hailwood rep, Honda CBX, some kettles, V max's and if you ventured up the embankment you would have seen another 2 cruise liners sail past then at 8.30 the ISS (space station flew right overhead at -3.6 magnitude, one for the space geeks amongst us).
Great evening and a great bunch of guys and gals.
Think that was the last meet there until March next year.

There was talk about carrying it on through the winter but I reckon it would be better to meet up somewhere a bit warmer - a pub maybe that has good and easy access to the motorway network and is also already bike friendly. Please put any sensible suggestions HERE

No problem we all enjoyed it. You'll have to let us know when you have a gig in the area so that we can come down and take the..................what I mean to say is encourage you.
