Title: 20hr weekend jolly
Post by: SUMO on June 01, 2009, 01:54:10 PM
went off this weekend to pre-run the tipple run, had a blast, 20 hours getting sunburnt riding some bloomin lovely roads

one hi-lite as we were riding over exmoor we kept getting whiffs of castrol-r

and look what we found at a pub right onthe top there - we didnt have much time to stop, just took a few pics, said hello and carried on

Love that supercharged MG!
So where were you heading Mr S & who with? Can't beat the simple pleasure of a ride out with your mates.

it was the tipple run pre-run, basically neither of us could get any more time of work just at the minute so we did the 4 day run in 2 days. just checking out sites, roads etc. had a laugh, but was just me and tiny, riding dull modern stuff to get over the ground without breakdown wories that we didnt have time for - me on pan-euro him on his new triumph tiger

with both nights in the pub that were honestly planned as  quick 3 or 4 beer then an early night turning into sessions, oh well - we were still up and away early safe and sound so no worries

Would love to join you mate, but can't get that much time off work -& still got nothing decent roadworthy. I trust you'll send us a virtual postcard of your travels.  ;)
