Hi all, long time no post but I still lurk from time to time. Any objections if I tag along with you all? I still have the tractor but I promise to park a few yards away so you're not all embarrassed  I haven't bought a ticket so I'll need to check they're available on the gate and I reserve the right not to go if it's forecast to throw it down with rain all weekend (sorry, but I'm too old and boring to enjoy 2 nights in a small damp tent  ) Happy to meet up at either LFE or Donington services.

Simon, Graham, Grzegorz
Have been giving it some thought over last couple of days.
Shall we go for a 11am meet at LFE services? then toddle off to meet Funkletrumpet at Donnington, just thought it would be nice to spend alittle time with him, rather than a rushed coffee, before heading off. I haven't seen him in a while and it would be good to catch up.

So, what's Donnington from LFE? 15-20 mins?
I can try to be at Donny for 11 ish.
Will be good to catch up mate, Simon too, it's been a while mate.

Donington is better for me, I only live 12 or 13 miles from there. I'll get there at 11am ish to meet funkletrumpet (who  ) and if the rest of you leave LFE at 11am you'll be at Donington 20 or 30 minutes later.
Noticed your thread that said you were picking up a R3 - you know it makes sense I'm still loving mine, had it almost 2 years now with virtually no problems at all (only done 10,000 miles though).
I can't think of a witty retort to the ugly comments after a very long hard week at work - my brain has gone into shut-down mode and the first beer of Friday evening is about to be opened. If I think of one later I'll be sure to post it

Looks like there isn't much point doin LFE at all. I'll be at Donnington for 11am. Sooner we get there, the sooner we get to the Farmyard. Got to have a new Stanchion fitted on Thursday too (£235 ouch, thanks triumph dealer) Don't ask!! so just hoping I'll be there.

hehe, this is getting earlier and earlier. ok, if meeting at Donnington at 11am, I will be at LFE services at 10:30 to meet Grzegorz. Graham, will leave about 10:40 to get to Donnington for 11, so can meet you at either! If this is getting complicated: I will be meeting people 10 minutes before I get there, 20 minutes after I arrive, which will be 30 minutes before I leave!!

Just look for a yellow and black speedmaster on the M1 somewhere around the East Midlands. That'll be me
I'll be at Donnington at 11 come rain or shine no worries

Hi Paul/Kev
No problem will do, I will keep the phone handy in my pocket so I can hear it..
Thanks for text Kev, was going to post on here about your ticket, but see you have done so. You should be able to flog it as you arrive to somebody... It will save them £10.00 extra on the gate..

Y'all have a good time!
Mostly sunshine & showers apparently, so looks like it'll be better weather than last years anyway! Sunday looks worse mind...

I'll definitely be going - I can stand a bit of rain I'll see whoever (I'm losing track!) at Donington services at 11am. I guess we'll get there about 3pm allowing for a couple of stops.

It would seem bad weather is stopping play. Ray texted me ... Grzegorz has already left and Simonr was packing up at 17:30. Too bad guys, I hope you had a good time while it lasted. I got a blank text off simonr around 01:30 this morning Unseasonally severe wind forecast (65mph) in N Wales and northern England for midday tomorrow ... be careful kids.
