So the answer to my question seems to be a big fat NO! Ah well.

It must be great to be so old you've got the opportunity of re-purchasing your previous bikes not only once but twice. 

What do you mean old? I've had less birthdays than you, plus I've kept my looks.

Don't be so pessimistic. I'm working on having a few extra days tagged onto the weekend perhaps coming back Tuesday. Depends on funds and jobs. I was going to PM you nearly next week when I can be more firm with my plans. I know a really nice camp site at Sligo that I want t o go to again!

Gosh Steve I thought you would never ask. I am looking to head down the Atlantic coast route during the week after the meet, starting at the most northerly point in County Donegal and heading back home on the Rosslaire to Fishguard route. See what you think? Cheers Cliff

Well, just in from a lovely sunny spin round the Sperrins. So that's the bare bones of a ride out sorted   
Also called in with the bossman/host, Colin, who is ready for the onslaught.
There will also be a group of Scottish boys, called the Hillbillies staying that weekend, so there could be seventy of us altogether, and there is a car rally starting from the Shepherds Rest on the Saturday morning, though they aren't staying over.

Hillbillies! If I hear banjo playing I'm off.

Well, according to the oracle, that is Country file, the winter is on its way back. So pack your winter woollies 
Why is it, that every time Mark comes over to Ireland, ie, tomorrow, Monday, the weather here turns to s###! Answers on a postcard, please, Ron 

[RonXBR]

Yes Tim, Countyfile forecast is spot on. A big depression is moving in.

Ron.

I'm going out to buy one now. Let's hope it works

Don't worry guys, we'll get the peat fire stoked up in the cottage, the fire will be lit in the pub, and the shower and toilets have underfloor heating, so dinny worry

Worth a try. Looking forward to seeing your instrument.
