Have you ever lent someone 20 quid and never seen it again? It was probably worth it.

Well, the cast should be coming off this Friday (That'll be 4 weeks with it). If not, I'll probably cut the fecker off myself because I need to scratch it so badly!
Ribs are still sore from time to time - sneezing hurts A LOT (damn my hay fever!)
I managed to acquire a smaller tent so the circus can keep their marquee that weekend, and I now have a sleeping bag that hasn't mysteriously shrunk since I last used it.
New rear shock fitted (christ, the rear looks high now
), along with new mirrors. All I really need for the bike now is new tyres if the budget will stretch to them. The back's a bit slick and square at the mo - would be okay in dry weather (are you listening Alex?), but in the wet? 
So, Yes, every intention of being there!
BTW I have what was a decent digital SLR when I bought it (stills only, no video) and was going to bring that anyway. I'll happily snap away at all-and-sundry but I reckon the more cameras you have out there, the better...
Seeya there... what time is everyone aiming for? (I have to work the Friday so may be a bit late arriving...)
Pat.
Riding slowly to make you all look faster...
1997 Mk2 (registered '99) in super quick yellow/silver with custom gone-faster scratches. Micron 2-1 exhaust (fruity but not offensive), TRX engine (after the death-rattle signalled the end of the original), Hagon rear shock, rust-proof rear end courtesy of loobman chain oiler... My first and only bike (delivered new to home before I passed my test), tatty and a bit of a shed, but still get a buzz from it!

Good to hear you will make it Paps.
Yes the Hagon adds quite a bit of height, i have one myself , need to watch it on the U-Turns!
I plan to be there mid-afternoon with TrevTheRev if all goes to plan.
Weather is booked with the big fella who owes me a favour.
TeDeum - there no way that you have a friend with an R1 - are you sure he is not a courier or somthing?

and don,t forget your bikes too I'll run mine through a car-wash on the way up so both the bike and me will be spotless...soaked, but spotless.
The world is full of willing people, some willing to work, the rest willing to let them.

It'll take some washing to get the scratches off mine, and the engine looking the right colour. I'll clean me teeth though, brush me hair and dazzle you with my shiny new HG suit!

I learned my cleaning technique at the same school as Tony D and Chris G. Bikes are for riding not cleaning - life is too short. apw99 recently described my bike as the rat bike of the forum. What a compliment!
