i've got the ok to go but will depend on weather (100 miles in the
rain each way- no thanks) and how many are committed (memories
of seans RGV rallies)

they said it was going to rain here today but its just cloudy with occassional bright spells

Not my business cause I'm not going. But my 6 penneth worth is. You need decent weather or it will not be worth the hassle. If you go in a car & just meet up there would make more sense. So there!. Alan

i was hoping to meet up with some ppl on the way, but going up the M4 is a bit outta the way.

Garry's Kr1-S sounded sweet on the way up

missed the photo.....

good selection of bikes, was well impressed with Martins and Cliff's KR as well as the KR250.

Maybe next time there's a meet mine might be there..............

A real good day.
Nice to meet some new faces, i was suprised to see so many turn up, we had six bikes and i think ten forum members. The ride down was a bit naff, foggy wet and i got my bike filthy. I rode with Mr (Mad) Bungholeo, and "Mark" Red Devil (Lovely sounding pipes)! The underpass moments on the North Circ sounded mint, and i am still clearing my eye's and lung's of the sweet smell of two stroke

.
One of the highlights was Mr (Mad) Bung taking on a CBR 600 at the lights on the A406. The KR stole the lead for about 200 meters at least, the CBR pilot thought he had in the bag and had to pull out all the stops to catch up.(front wheel raised for about 100 meters). I think the guy was genuinly shocked! At the next set of lights he passed "Darren" a remark of, "That's F____N Fast!!! Mark and i were behind delighting in the escapade

.
Hopefully we can meet up again some time.
Martin. Your bike is lovely, i can't believe you got it there so clean, you have cleaned it around the corner before pullng up

.
Gary's KR250 was a crowd puller as usual, (especially when starting it

)

Oh! And here's my other bike, that's my lid in the foreground

Great day! Nice to see so many KR's in one place again. People seemed somewhat surprised by the prescence of so many 2-strokes!!!

Nice to be able to put faces to names having all converged on the Ace for the day, from all over the place too.

Here's our little group.

Hopper's MotoGP bike.

Kork's KR500

Just for Strokerboy, who can now go and change his pants...

Glad the weather held off, I just got home when it pissed down here on Canvey! Here's to the next one...
