Nice one, Glen. Speak to Ray about travelling; he's going the same way. Plus, having someone with him will help calm his nerves due to crossing a county border!!!   Do you want breakfast on any of the days? If you do, let me know and I'll let the site-owners know. I've already given the final numbers in but it may not be too late to add you. Ride safe, Neill

Back from the Costa Del Sol (aka Skegness with paella)! Next time I venture into the sunshine I may have to use a higher factor suncream - or just wear my biking gear next to the pool.  We should be good to meet with you folks at Jacks Hill in the morning. And it looks like I got it right with the weather forecasting. See you all tomorrow! 
Before the war on terror, if I saw an unattended package I used to think "I'll be having that!"

Jack Hill's is a little out of your way Ray, just cause you're crossing the Border DON'T over do it!!!!! Jack's is south of Birmingham (you know Birmingham the place where flat earth ends and you fall off!!!!). 
Wishing you all a great time, wish I was coming.  
I was going to meet the boys, but they are not meeting until Saturday......... I had got permission from Boarder control

Anyone coming from the south tomorrow... If you wanna meet at Donington Services at 1.30 for 2.00 departure (mainly cos I'll be late....  ) and we can ride up together. Donington - come off the M1 at Jcn 24 and follow the signs... I don't think you can get the services at 23a

OFF-TOPIC. Anyone know where I can get a plug socket that'll fit? I've got an 18mm but it's too broad. Also, what oil filters will fit, other than the Triumph-branded one? I've got a dodgy Made Somewhere In The Far East thing but I'd rather have something from a name I can at least read!!!

K&N and the socket has to be a thin walled otherwise it will not fit down....
On topic
I presume the campsite knows we are having breakfast Saturday morning..................................

Off-topic: I've asked several places and they all said "Thin-walled? What does that mean?" Anyone got a brand name or know of a place I can get one? On-topic: Yes, they're aware.

Watch out for cops around there. Sunny weekend and they'll be out in force. They also use a plane so look up, too. Ride safe. See y'all tomorrow.
