Made it home safe and sound, which is a miracle as we couldn't see a bloody thing from Newark cos of the sun.
Fantastic day, thanks all for the first brillant run of the year. Big thanks to Moose for organising the T-Shirts and of course cake.
Sent Selina hunter gathering for beer so that we can happily kick back and relax.
Happily Knackered,
Andy

Well done Moose for arranging a great ride. Thanks to Phil for leading our the ride to Sunny Hunny after we got lost!
Sorry I had to leave early but made it back by 3:40pm so was home in time to go out at 4pm so all worked out well.

Photos at Brampton Services where we all met
Then to the seaside at Hunstanton for proper seaside fish and chips
And a very nice scenic photo of the seaside
Time for a group shot
And we thought it only right to get some photos at the lighthouse
And the cast
And my poor broken bike (all cos jolly was trying to get on my bike at 40 ish mph)
I'm sure there will be many photos to follow
Cheers

Arrived back home at 6.03pm safe and sound. 300 miles, haven't a clue where we went 
Pity we were split up in groups after about 200 yards into the ride
Had a fantabulastic time with a bunch of lovely people, lovely cake, lovely weather and learnt a lot about riding a bike with rubber suspension
Fish & Chips on the seafront with blazing sunshine went down a treat
Cheers Moose, toptastic day !
Had a giggle when Moose was leading and we came upon a police vehicle, he wouldn't pass it 'cos his speedo was kaput !
8 of us pootling behind at 45mph ! Must be a record for the slowest ride out

Thank you very much for organising the run, providing awesome cakes and arranging the cracking weather Moose.
Great to meet everyone, thank you all for allowing the TeDiuMs little sister to tag along with the big boys.
Had a giggle, and enjoyed some great stretches of road, first ride out of the year on the XTX and clocked around 320 miles today, relatively few of which were on the M1/A1.
Cheers guys - hope I'm allowed to come out again and represent XT660.com seeing as we have a fair bit of inter-forum cross-fertilisation going on

PS: Thanks for not burning me at the stake for being a witch. Much appreciated.

Well, what a good day. We had plenty of miles, cake, great weather and chat although I don’t think I spoke to everyone. Even flying body panels.
Shame we got split up along the way, think we’ll have to try and sort something for the next run. 286 great miles for me.
The T shirts were great and the route was a corker, wouldn’t mind doing it again and doing the whole run.
Well done Andy.

Witch? coz of the bike? At least it's a Yam. My witch (she's likes that title which has nothing to do with riding a Suzuki
) has been on the beer/wine early because she wanted to join us. Shame she didn't get out of bed this morn.
