Anyway, I didn't put me feet down on EVERY bend

Only cos you've got stablizers fitted :rir

I also managed to get nearly 50mpg Wink


When I picked up go-juice on the way home John calculated that I also managed 50MPG .... but the difference is I'm ashamed to get such good economy :twisted: Must try harder :twisted:

Its OK Mikey, I didn't mind hanging back with you mate, whilst Ralphy went hacking off

Much quicker pace on the way home .... who was waiting for who :nik

You clearly picked up a wiff of biscuit in the air as you fled the Ace forgetting that you were s'posed to grab a clock :

Joking aside ... it was a great day and it was great to meet all you guys! I'm really proud to be a member of this club and really look forward to the next time :D

Indeed!!!

I met Peter Krauss, who came over from Germany and gave me his card, but particularly impressed me by photographing my bike!... and it wasn't a sympathy snap cos I'd not spoken to him at that point! I have to confess to a degree of pride swelling up in me when I saw someone photograph my bike. Considering she was as shiny as a new shiny thing when we left, she was very grubby after 120miles on soggy roads.

Some great looking bikes there chaps, as Keith said it was peeing down up here for most of the night and this morning. :( :(

Yes Dave you are correct, it was nice to see my old Rex that Yox's girlfriend commadered after riding it home.Noticed there is a new thread on vapour blasting, Yox and I were only discussing it yesterday.

Sorry not to make it......we were at the Brooklands Centenary.

Did anyone take a pic of Ken Rumballs bike?

He/ it won the best Classic.

If anyone did, can they mail it to me?

Heard that Will Noble had a brief altercation with a kerb on the way up there, hope you are OK Will.

Ace cafe piccies

Lads,

great pictures from the ace day

Question:-who owns the green Z1000A2 with the zephyr 550 back end in it?????? can you put me in touch with him because I need to know how many links he has in the drive chain so that can get a new chain for my z1000 with a Zephyr 750 swing arm in it??

any help would be great--then i am back on the road again on mine after i swapped out the standard swingarm and shox last weekend.

thanks in advance

Pigford HOW can you mix me up with Pigford. I am much younger and better looking :lol:

I was asking about a picture of your bike Steve with the 550 backend.
