Ahh, may see you then, was undecided on Sat or Sun, but looks like Sat then, never been to this one before so your giving it the thumbs up Chris?

Bought a ticket, so even if I wimp out and go in the Car I'll be there

In an ideal world you need to be over a certain age and been an off-roader its a grand social event for us where I meet guys who 40 years ago were certifiable and still are.

My VFR riding mate is a bit of a celeb at this do and I have learned to have nothing to do with him till coffee and cake time because he can't walk 5 yards without bumping into someone who wants to talk for half an hour and coming from me 

There is some road racing stuff but it does help if you know your Honda Red Rocket from you 465 Yamaha

No point hiding the fact I know f... all about off-road stuff, funnily enough it was the pseudo off-road style bikes that I was often drawn to as a kid, Gilera , Suzi TS100, Yam DT175, but Richmond park was about as off-road as they got, and 40 years later not much has changed, apart from the fact I could pick the early bikes up

More of an excuse to give the Tigger a run, weather permitting

Used to love my old YZ250 but you couldn't beat the thrill of riding (hanging onto) the Maico 440!   

Wish I still had them now!

Weather is looking, ok, so Tigger gets a blast to Telford, see you tomorrow

[Chris Canning]

Even I got out today real Lithium weather

Saw an XR in Banbury today and thought of you Chris. Have you modded the headlight, like most stuff these days just one lamp on dip

I keep mine indoors now as an emergency jump-starter

Recommend you don't use it for jump starting or jump start one with a traditional battery. The cell internal resistances are different and it's really easy to screw up your expensive LIFPO

That was more of a joke really, its currently (see what I did there), acting as a book end

[JayDub]

  useful info though, I reckon a lot of us didn't know that

Well, Chris was certainly right, thought there was weird stuff at Stafford. Interesting though, Ive taken loads of pics but will have to go through them before I select the best.

Colder than I thought on the way up via Motorway, went back the pretty route via Bridgnorth, Ludlow, Leominster etc, much nicer if a bit longer, bike running like an English Watch, not Swiss you understand, its a Triumph afterall

One funny hic-cup, I'll post about in Girly section.
