Enjoyed the day in a way that having damp knickers can only add to the ambiance. 200 miles, 100 in the rain with a steamed up tinted visor...doh. Got home and fell over on a damp path while filling the bird feeders :roll: , luckily fat people bounce better lOl
Great to see peeps again and meet you Bob, hope all got home safe. Last time I was in Priddy was when I was about 15 potholing in Swildons Hole, Doubt I'd fit now :oooops:

Yeah was a good time today apart from a very close call when a myopic old bint pulled out on me on the way back towards the gorge. Luckily something told me she was going to so rather than the national limit I slowed to 30 and was almost at the turning when she pulled out. Evasive braking and then safe overtake. If I had still been nearer the limit it would have been an accident. Funny how sometimes the manner of the driving, or the driver or just the car tell you BEWARE.

Nice to see some new faces as well as some more familar. Got to say I wish the S1 had the mambo of Tony's CR for overtakes (which sounds excellent with the Albert pipe).

Oh and my under crackers were wetter than the last time I did the sump at Swidons 24 years ago.

Great day out thanks pash, and for waiting for me at Burger King. Salutations to all the intrepid crew who turned out. Roads even started to dry out for our run up the gorge! ;)

Shame it chucked it down from Bristol down to Glasto! My rain suit worked fine, but my boots seemed to develop their own water injection system! :? Cough! Must invest in some dubbin before next year. lOl

Yep whole black super ten with 12months MOT 6mths tax plus spare engine arriving at my house Tuesday and joy of joys a new chain in the spares kit coming with it.

So now I have a commuter plus another for doing up plus enough spares to keep me going or sale to recoup some cash.

:yup: :yup: well the least you can do is buy your wife a nice set of polishing mops or engine stand to make up for the outlay.
Sounds a great buy.
