TC Llanthoney Meet - weekend of the 22nd of November

[002]

Does that mean I can turn up in the Landy ??   
I feel a car boot sale coming on.....

What are these special boots needed for driving cars?? And why are they so popular, special sales are organised for them?? Is it some sort of religious thing?? I mean, these sales do always seem to be on Sundays





I'll get my trainers

sorry i forgot this was the Thumper club , yes by all means cars,trucks and caravans all welcome,

My invitation to attend on whatever you could manage wasn't an imprimatur for all softies and closet weekend warriors to get out their heated cars rather than use their bikes. It was, instead, a reassurance that if that was all you could manage on this weekend then that's ok.

The simple fact is that all of us will arrive on bikes anyway. and all of us will be like-minded biking types. And we will have the strange taste of chilli beer, cider and pickled eggs in our mouths on Sunday morning   

I'm looking forward to it.

p.s. Steffan, my 4-wheel options are very limited boyo, I don't even own a car

Right , I ,m taking the Astra .It,s very handy to carry bike bits around . Anyone fancy an auto jumble on the Sunday morning ?

"The simple fact is that all of us will arrive on bikes anyway. "

Is that a firm undertaking then? 



"and all of us will be like-minded biking types. " statement of fact or topic for discussion? 


"p.s. Steffan, my 4-wheel options are very limited boyo, I don't even own a car"

Didn't slow you down last time old boy, besides nobody said anything about owning a car, presumably it would be possible to carjack some poor bastard and tell them "take this car to Llantony" in a thick stage foreign accent.

PS I think Jethro should be given a dispensation to arrive in a landy - perhaps we could take turns year on year. Provided he has a really good bike story. Like " the reason that GSX1000 is mounted on the front bonnet is......

I agree with what you have written,well some of it anyway,but what sticks in my throat apart from fish bones,Flem and the occasional pubic hair ,is people who turn up in cars to bike meets because its raining,cold
or couldn't get his boots on for socks or any other piss poor reason,in my mind that's just as disgusting as going to the dragon with a bike in a van >:(if there bike is genuinely off the road then what can i say.

Nobody on this thread, and correct me if I'm wrong, has stated their bike is off the road.

[Steffan]

Mine is - big end blown and two motors in bits on the bench - can I come in the Passat?

Just remind me stef,how many bike do you have

[Andy M]

Do it GC/Elefant style. Pop an MZ motor in the Bullet frame, make a thing out of an old She-Wee to stop the carb freezing up, book an MOT in Llanthoney for Saturday morning and Bob's your uncle

Not as many as me, and mostly broken.  Still not coming in a car.  In my book Landys are okay though.
