Just had a text off Gina apparently her bike started playing up once again
That's a bugger Ray, was hoping we'd sorted that! Did Gina say how far she'd got? Hoping she's home soon.
Again thanks for organising a great weekend Ray! 
Was great to meet up with you guys again and also meet some new faces. Really enjoyed Saturday nite 
Shame yesterday wasn't as nice as it has been today, would have been great for the ride out! Didn't get any better for me coming home yesterday BTW but at least didn't have that far to go.
Also sorry to hear of Andy's bad news and Eric's misfortune that led them unable to make it.
Looking forward to catching up again at the next meet,
Until then ride safe guys,
Dave.

Looks like I may be organising another meet in September if we get a descent amount interested, I presume you all want the same venue "DENT".............

If we get enough interest, well go for it  Dent will never be the same, I take it with the response you all liked the venue, or is it by chance the BEER that is persuading you.....  Up to now then:- Lowey Paulfromthenorth ExBandit Bikerboy321 Oldgimmer birchr Mal (not on site) It's a start I suppose

That's what makes a good meet, the more that turn up the better it is. The venue just puts the cream on it

Dent in September??? Umm let me see: 1) Ok, but will need plenty of warning to get time off.  2) The grass will have had chance to recover!  3) I get chance to meet my long lost brother again!  4) I get to see everyone again  5) September gives Graham chance to buy some poles!  6) Simon gets to show me how a hangover looks like again!!  7) I get chance to look for the house keys I left somewhere on the road between Dent and the Services on the M1.  Thank you Ray for organising it.  Was wonderful to see you all again, and also to meet so many new people and put faces to names.
Paul.

I'm back at my parents... I got about 1/2 mile down the road and the splutter reappeared. I knew Jane, Keith, Jahel and Paul were having breakfast in the cafe next to the site, so nursed a poorly bike back there. The olds arrived about 330ish and the trailer was too small....bugger these bikes are just way too long... but we managed a way to get her on the trailer all the same and she back here, in one piece, and just needs a little TLC. I need to get rid of the bruise that's nicely developing from the footboard.... Oh it's the wire into the coil for the left cylinder that has problems.... someone said tape it, I just had worries of that melting and getting stranded in the middle of nowhere....so trailer it was. I'll seek advice from the local fantastic dealer tomorrow, but it'll just be that. Advice. And September...... BRING IT ON!!!!!! Just I'll bring the 06.....

09 America - It's very blue....

Disclaimer: The photo of me in the tent was taken before the hangover.....Ray has obviously photoshoped the picture to add the bleary eyes, wrinkles and beer belly!
September sounds good. but cant be there at the begining of the month as it's my sons Birthday on the 3rd. Any other dates in September are good for me. Can't wait, maybe a little further south next time?

Hi Just like to say thanks to Ray for a fantastic event, sorry I had to leave so early but I paid for it on the M6 the weather was a ppaling and a white van driven by a twelve year old kept trying to pin me to the armaco on the outside lane (we started in the middle trust me) I think he nearly crapped himself when he finally saw me.... Anyway September sounds good to me Kev

The one thing I can remember on saturday night was a Pole taking the mickey out of my lack of poles for my "tent". How many of you had your own inside decorative pond? I'd have slept a bit better had the fish not been splashing around and keeping me awake. Good job I kept a tent peg to hand so I could ventilate the floor on sunday night. I'll be launching my new "refugee" range of camping accesories in the summer.
Before the war on terror, if I saw an unattended package I used to think "I'll be having that!"

That WAS a nice pint as was also the Ramsbottom! Been informed that T'owd Tup translates as The old Ram BTW 
Uhmm, makes you wonder... Thought the Welsh had a reputation! . Not sure where their Kamikaze ale fits in though?... 
Will try and make the September meet anyway mate!

As always Dave, great seeing ya. It's a really nice beer that T'owd Tup and 6% ABV, no wonder we had a few hangovers Sunday morning. I believe we drank them dry of the Dent Ale..
