Good evening fellow riders.
It has been a good few years since I follwed this bunch of terrors :-)
To be honest, I didn't think it would still be around, but I see number of the original names are still breathing? Thank goodness
I was thinking of looking to do a French run, when I remebered this group. I did
a couple back around 2004 I think, and had a terrific time, so decided to look it up again.
I have also found the group on FB although I am not really a user of such thing,
I have applied to join, if you'll consider me.
Hopefully I will get to one of your meetings this year.

All the best to.

Hello

Presumably Dave B on Fb? Request approved.

We are somewhat fewer than when you were last here. Some have drifted away, maybe onto Fb. Others dropped dead, and mostly not the older ones.

Check out the events page on Fb for the spring French run

Yep that be me.
Thanks for the reply, and the FB add. I don't use it very much and far too many
w@nkers on there for my taste :-) Good for some motorbiking stuff though.
Had a quick look down the history on here and I recognise a few names still. I see Cab, Ace and Bruce still here, I'm not sure the PipL is the Pip (and Ellie)
that used to be around. No sign of Lozzo or the Winging Courier as far as I could see, but I guess the world turns in my long absence.
I'll be having a look at the French trip details, hopefully I can join in this year, but my old riding mate who had the Harley (that left his light on and flattened his battery so we all had to give him a push) no longer rides. He is 80 now and IAm catching up fast, but still hopefully can enjoy my biking for a few more years yet.
Any UK meet ups this year?

More wankers than not, IMO.
