Hi all!
Just a word of thanks to Les Skinner for organising a darn fine day out today. Great roads, great countryside, a lovely pub & enjoyable company. Many thanks to all for your patience in waiting for me, after I went AWOL at one point. I shall remember the kindness.
I hope you all made it home safe & sound & Jeremy...I'll be in touch for that ride to the Peaks! For those that couldn't be with us today, it's definitely one for your diary next year.
All the best,
Gary

Drat! I forgot about this. Had to make do with a bimble out to the Greasy Spoon on the wee vee.
Anyone up for a visit to Mona's Isle for the Classic TT next year? An acquaintance will be riding a TZ250 in the lightweight. Spat him off when it seized at 130 just before Ballaugh this year.

Yes please.
Re: Midlands Rideout
We had better start a new thread. I would be accompanied by SWMBO to celebrate the 30th anniversary of our first proper motorcycle trip together - though that was TT practice week 1987. I have to confess that we might not be on a Morini though. That trip was on exactly the same machine I took last year, but though we managed two up with camping gear on a 2C then, I suspect the ER6n with H&B luggage might be a better option this time.

HI All,
Thanks Les for another well organised ride out.
Although I had to take my leave early I still managed over 200 miles.
Excellent day.
Safe riding

Re: Midlands Rideout
It's a shame I couldn't be there this year. With the route you took, you could have popped in at my parents' house near Uppingham for tea and cakes!

Re: Midlands Rideout
Gutted I missed it. Having made it in 2014 but missed last year, was really looking forward to it. Leicester racecourse is less than 2 miles from my house, I'd organised getting the weekend off work, weather fantastic....
Darn cam chain!
