We're having another meet up at Lincoln on the 26th of September (Saturday) It will be at the usual place at the Brayford pool, bottom of Lucy Tower street.
It would be nice to see some new faces instead of the usual ugly die hards that go.
I hope you'll be coming again Nick? (Or will you be having your beard trimmed on that day?) We haven't forgotten how you disappeared into thin air at the bike fest and didn't get a round of teas in. I think I remember the excuse you gave, your missus wanted to take you into some woods somewhere near Willingham!!
Don't worry lads if your bike isn't a R/W/B one. We are two down already so please come along and make the numbers up.
I'll keep an eye on the weather for that date. Hope to see you all there.
Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.
Two days before pay day so the tea might be cups of water lol, I also have the grass to cut which you so kindly reminded me of as I'd totally forgotten about it! (I've still not done it yet!)
It will need to be a dry weekend guys as both bikes now have white wheels & I hate cleaning
Sorry John, yet again I will be a no show.
Bike in bits, no MOT, kids football match on Sunday, the list goes on.........
Looks to be a nice weekend so you should have fun!

I don't know how I'm going to eat all these cakes etc. Ill be needing some new leathers at this rate.
I managed to get the carbs sorted, I think one of the new pilot jets I bought was dodgy.
I swapped the suspect one with an old one and the bike ran on all four again.
The issue now is that I did an oil change and found coolant in the oil.
I've stripped the top end down and have a new head gasket ready to fit.
I now just need the time and motivation to do it.

What some folk do to get out of paying for the teas. Good news about the carbs. The problem you have now is getting the motivation at this time of year will be difficult. You'll just get it finished when it's time to take it off the road for winter. Mind you in the past, October is sometimes a good month weather wise. It would be good to meet up again before we tuck them away for the hibernation period.

I think your are right John.
You start thinking what is the rush when you know the summer weather is over with.
It would be good to have one more meet up before the years up and I should make more of an effort with it (i mean it's not that big of a job putting the top end back on is it?).
I'll try and have a go at it this Sunday after my lads football match, but I'm not promising anything!!
