    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, But rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vacuum in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming…….WOO HOO, there goes another engine!

    Great to see you all again and to meet fellow scouser Speedy Claire. What a result with the footy! Ye-hah.
    Saw Thumpers new toy, very nice. Good on Toggsy helping Digger with his alarm glitch (although this time it was a battery change), but its good to know we have our own Mr Fixit.

    Be seen and be Safe!

    Tuesday night means Bassetts Pole night and yet another Forum gathering. To keep variety in my life this week I rode there from Thumper’s on Toggsy’s rather excellent ZX6R. That means in the last four weeks I have turned up on a different bike each time! No wonder poor old PINGU can’t find us!

    Thumper on his recently acquired VTR and Toggsy using Thumper’s ZR550 kept me company on the brief ride there. Once parked up it wasn’t long before we bumped into the Chuckle Brothers Scouser and Digger, who yet again made the long trip down from the home of the newly crowned European champions, Liverpool. He was a bit lonely as Prezzo and Towcrowe were on their way to France and the delights of the Napoleon Pass.

    Finally the forum Queen, member of ID’s Angels and resident Nun Gixerchic rolled up on her Suzuki GSX-R600 with fellow Angel Speedy Claire on the Pillion. I think that it is amazing that so much beauty can be fitted on just one motorcycle. Makes you want to cry….

    So there were seven members on six bikes, not at all bad for a mid-week meet.

    Overcast skies, full of the threat of rain kept numbers down this week and there were no more than about 300 bikes parked up at any one time. We strolled around the bikes for a while as Digger showed his paper towel tricks to a fascinated (and traumatised), Gixer and Speedy.

    Best bikes this week were an ice cool 1970’s Z1 (even Lex would of loved it!), and a couple of choppers that looked like they had ridden here direct from the set of “Easy Rider”. In fact I am sure if you closed your eyes and listened hard, Steppin Wolf (I know I have got that wrong), could heard in the back ground!
    As contrast to the rebellious spirit embodied by the choppers was a pristine 1990 BMW Z1 repugnant in bright red and yellow graphics. The perfect ‘sports’ bike for corporate accountants on their day off…

    With less bikes than usual to stare we left with no other option but to go for a blast! I took over the ZR550 from Toggsy while he was joined by Speedy back on his own ZX6R to allow Gixer to have some solo fun on the GSX-R.

    She roared off with Digger and Toggs closely tucked in behind. I gamely thrashed the ZR in a vain bid to keep in touch, with Scouser and a surprisingly restrained Thumper playing tail gunner for the evening. After about 25 miles, having blasted across the A51, A515 and B5016 we arrived at the New Inns at Barton-under-Needwood, as we had a few weeks ago. Digger had really enjoyed the long undulating B5016 in particular.

    Once at the pub Thumper’s restraint was explained as he dived into the garage opposite the pub to fill up the thirsty Firestorm. They like a drop of the go juice these big ‘V’ twin Hondas.

    The next couple of hours melted away quickly in the pub as the banter went to and fro’. Speedy had never met Digger, Thumper or Scouser before and it was good to see them all getting on so well.

    The evening was rounded off in traditional style with Toggsy sorting out Diggers alarm!

    An another excellent night.
