Dammit, I was looking forward to some jellied eels........

[grahamcoxon]

Washed down with a nice strong pint of shandy.

[ARAIHEAD]

[Omen]

[gordon gauge]

Terribly sorry, an ill advised post. Please disregard. John Harris (aka gordon gauge)

[windy]

AH:WTF: you mean you don't know,:confused: tut tut. Come on Omen spill the beans for the lads.:happy:

:cheers: Martin

[The Dr.Jon]

I'll be there if I'm not in Madrid. I'll let you know what dates soon.

And I'll be there, if I'm not in London, or Madrid.:burnout:

[hairy]

why do u think hes allways going to madrid araihead,its not just cause the sheep are a lot prettier

[ARAIHEAD]

Hairy, going off that picture youre telling me he's there to get a horn up his arse !!!:eek: :confused:

[Omen]

Martin,

Personally for me, I would prefer the weekend of 10th/11th June

but could do 3rd/4th if that weekend looks better for people.


Omen, what may i ask do you do in Madrid all the time ?:confused:

Hairy, how a picture can tell a thousand words! Poor bugger!

Arai Head, my other ride lives and works out in Madrid, which means I go out there every 2 weeks or so to eat, drink & generally enjoy myself. Only thing is, I don't have a Tuono out there. My secret is no more.

[windy]

Omen; The Box Hill meet seems to be gathering pace, I'm easy on the dates in June but don't forget we're away at the end of June, AlpsTT:peace: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: All ten of us.

:cheers: Martin.:happy:

[scanner]

Might be up for this guys - if allowed out to play...

what's the plan.....


david..

[windy]

1st time prila

There isn't a plan yet but feel free to start one. This thread was started as a joke on the lads that said they where up for the northern meet but then cried off:fangs: but my attempt at sarcasm :confused: (lowest form of wit) has been overshadowed by the need of Tuono riders to gather together and have fun, so watch this space for further news.

:cheers: Martin

[windy]

:bump: :bump: :bump: :bump: :bump: :bump: :bump: :WTF:

[The Dr.Jon]

Unlike you nine to fivers I work on shifts and I am free the weekends of the 2nd/3rd/4th of June and 23rd/24th and 25th June, but the latter is probably too near to the Alps TT?

However, as I can get time off through the week I can come and annoy most of you blokes if you can get any time off midweek? There aren't many police around harrasing bikers through the week either.
:burnout:

[windy]

DJ; 2nd/3rd/4th June is OK for me.:) :burnout:

[The Dr.Jon]

Paging Big Simp: get yerself over for the first weekend of June on the Tuono!:burnout:

[The Dr.Jon]

DJ; 2nd/3rd/4th June is OK for me.:) :burnout:

I can put you up no problems!
:banana: I'm also off on the Thursday 1st of June if you can come down earlier.:banana:

[ARAIHEAD]

:eek: Sounds like a right GAY GANG BANG to me !!!!!!!!!:eek:

[windy]

AH; you'll have yer bags packed an ready then:kidding: :rolleyes:

DJ; just booked the Mon/Tue off, got some other peeps I need to catch up with while I'm down there.

Edit; sorry forgot to say cheers for the offer of a bed, that'll be great, Ta!

:cheers: Martin

[The Dr.Jon]

U r welcome martin, that's a room with garage, but no gay gang bang! I'm off on the Mon and Tuesday too. One of the few benefits of shift work.:)

[The Dr.Jon]

Just found this: http://www.hottrax-online.com/product_info.php?products_id=284 But possibly too near to the Alps TT??????:burnout:

[Harry H]

I like Madrid. Used to know a very naughty young lady that lived there so I would regulary pay that fine city a visit. I would go back but as the years have passed I would imagine she has gone the way of many a spanish mother. Ahhhh those were the days.

Back to reality and I'm up for a meet but why do we have to wait till June ????

[The Dr.Jon]

Perhaps Omen is dating your daughter?:rolleyes: :kidding:

Anytime you fancy a blast out, PM me Hairy or omen and one or all of us should be around to meet up.:burnout:

[scanner]

I could be up for something on 2nd/3rd.... either or both days...

look forward to it....

worse case, a ride out from Boxhill on the Sunday !

keep up the good work... i'll try and contribute more a bit later...

david..

[windy]

:bump: :bump: Just getting it back on the front page.:cheers:

[FTM]

How about Glacket lane services on the M25 late June then on to the Alps.:)

[hairy]

how about the dog and bollock just down the road from me,we could have a couple of pints b4 we all set of:eek: and:eek: again

[windy]

Don't be changing the dates now I've booked B/B for the 3rd/4th at some dodgey guest house:) run by a Doctor.:rolleyes:

:cheers: Martin

[The Dr.Jon]

Dodgy Dr, eh?:devil: http://www.tvdance.com/shop/-00-images/halloween-costumes/10329.jpg

[windy]

:eek: What have I done!!!!

[The Dr.Jon]

Me, Hairy and Omen had a blast on some cracking southern roads today in readiness for the royal visit of martin fennell to these sunny climes. We have a good route that will be an excellent shakedown for any of you fellas enrolled on the Alps TT, so lets see how many of the TT crew can make it. There will be ride outs on the 3rd and 4th of June and maybe a beer or three on the Saturday night?

My new Pilot Powers are now nicely scrubbed in and the freshly serviced steed goes like a goodun, other than a strange electrical gremlin when high in the revs at 9,500 plus rpm...the left indicator has developed a twitch.:WTF: This is likely down to a new (second hand) indicator cluster, but the problem seemed to go away once Omen and I had seen 148mph on the B2**1 (mentioned again just for you FTM:happy: ).

Hairy rode shotgun on account of his rear tyre de-laminating or some lame excuse:whiner: , this was not helped by him doing a mini burnout before we even left for the good stuff:burnout: . (Note to self, get 10x magnification rear mirrors to keep an eye on Hairy for the Alps TT:funnypost ).

Our man Hairy provided the comedy on this latest "Whilst you were working" epic. 3 riders, 3 Tuonos, all topped up with petrol before we set off. Guess which one ran out of fuel?:spankie:

Yes....Hairy again!:happy: This time he was near enough to the fuel station to push the wee beastie for the half mile required whilst me and Omen pissed ourselves laughing!:banana:

:cheers:

[hairy]

feckers sitting drinking tea as i rolled in knackered and sweet running down my bollocks to the petrol station,lucky it was only about 300 yards and down hill,the beastie will be getting a new back tyre sat in plenty of time for the great north run:plus: the tyre looked ok when we set off,a bit bald in the middle but after or first stop[80 odd miles]the little cracks [dont even go there araihead]:rolleyes: started appearing on the tyre,and then got gradually worse as the awesome pace set by that man omen closely followed by the doc:fangs: plenty of old bill about today but we were lucky again as we allways seem to meet them when not going flat out,we meet 3/4 motorbike cops coming the other way,2 minutes earlier and im sure they would have turned around after us:happy: one even gave us the nod:eek:

[The Dr.Jon]

Hairy, saw this and thought you might be interested mate? They do 'em in black!:happy:

that looks like it would hold about 30 pints [beer] doc,come in handy as i wait for u to get back from the petrol station with some petrol for me:funnypost anyway ive still got that one down at boxhill for emergencys

[The Dr.Jon]

Or...we could sort out some inflight re-fuelling rig for motorcycles to save on fuel stops?

[FTM]

the left indicator has developed a twitch.:WTF: This is likely down to a new (second hand) indicator cluster, but the problem seemed to go away once Omen and I had seen 148mph on the B2**1 (mentioned again just for you FTM:happy: ).


It looks like your new (second hand) indicator cluster has caused a problem with your speedo as well mate, that was 148kph not mph :) .

Did you get any rain? It was hazey sunshine from 12am where I was.

:cheers:

[The Dr.Jon]

It was a cracking day with hazy sunshine for the most part thanks mate!:happy: I was tucked in behind Omen doing a bit of slip streaming to save on fuel, but I will check the data today for the actual reading in MPH from the dash.

Are you going to be able to come and play on the first weekend of June?:burnout:

[The Dr.Jon]

Checked the dash this a.m and peak velocity was only 138mph.:rolleyes: But it is a 'B' road with corners.:burnout:

[ARAIHEAD]

PC ARAIHEAD here, anything you say will be taken down & possibly used in evidence, how fast did you say you were travelling at :eek: ? & are you certain your dash was in MPH mode!!!!!:rolleyes:

[The Dr.Jon]

Inspector Gadget here. I was honing my high speed skills PC Araihead. Plus I had to tuck in close behind Omen to stop the wind rush, so as I could light my fag!:burnout:

[ARAIHEAD]

Thats ok , as long as you weren't using yer mobile to phone the Hairy one !!!!:happy:

[The Dr.Jon]

Thats ok , as long as you weren't using yer mobile to phone the Hairy one !!!!:happy:

Nah, the range of the mobile is only good for 5 miles, useless to keep in touch with Hairy in the support van.:happy:

[ARAIHEAD]

Thats a good range for the string between the two cans Hairy uses for a mobile!!!!:happy:

[FTM]

Are you going to be able to come and play on the first weekend of June?:burnout:

Yes I'll keep that weekend free so I will be out playing.:burnout:

[hairy]

Yes I'll keep that weekend free so I will be out playing.:burnout:
what on the ould red tractor,whooppeee:rolleyes:

[The Dr.Jon]

Hairy v FTM, fight behind the bike sheds (or Harleys as we call 'em) at Box Hill, first weekend of June. I'll hold yer coats lads.:happy:

Hope that's not a metaphor.

(I take no responsability for spelling in any of my threads)

[The Dr.Jon]

I think we have got our wires crossed. I was offering to hold your coats in my capacity as a gentleman second, whilst observing that you and the Hairy man conducted yourselves in accodance with the rules of the Marquis of Queensbury as you settle your differnces. However, Hairy obviously wants to roll in the mud with you like a pair of queens whilst observing your differnces to an audience of shirt lifters....not my scene mate.:happy:

[The Dr.Jon]

SO, WHO'S ON FOR THE SOUTHERN MEET WEEKEND OF 3RD AND 4TH JUNE?

Thus far we have me, martin fennell, omen, and FTM. Don't think I've forgotten anyone?:rolleyes:

So, come on chaps, don't be shy.:burnout:

[twin4me]

I promise I will try and get to one of the runs.....

[Harry H]

I'll be there on the Saturday. It's in the diary.


Oh, and I'll be there fore the beer bit..........I likes beer:)

[scanner]

Gentlemen,

i'll be there for one of the days....

might bring the stepson (17 year old scrote).

is a mate on an 1150GS invited - he's my base in South Godstone....

sat looks favourite - unless we can all stop off to watch the motoGP from Mugello !!!

what thinks you??

david..

[windy]

DJ; I'd planned to ride down on Saturday for a Sunday ride out but the way things are looking I'd need to be there Friday night. Would that be a problem? that way I could ride Saturday and Sunday if you twist my arm:rolleyes: this would give me more time to meet more Tuono riders.

Martin.:cheers:

[The Dr.Jon]

Arrival on Friday would be better all round I reckon (plus I can put you on the weekend package deal rate that way:rolleyes: ). I have arranged a weekend totally free of chores and domestic distractions to have rides on Saturday and Sunday and a total indulgence in all things motorcycling. Let's all start praying to the Sun Gods to shine on us!

:burnout:

:cheers:

[Harry H]

I'd planned to wear my new shorts which are a subtle shade of pink. ooooh I love barbies.

Hope the white wine is nicely chilled.

[FTM]

Cold as a witches tit.

[Harry H]

Cold as a witches tit.
Why's a witches tit cold then ???

[scanner]

Mentelmen,

what time is the kick-off on Saturday 3rd....

i've got a bit of a journey to get there - 80 miles unless i stay at Mates in South Godstone.

supopse i'll aim to get there for about 10:00-10:30

any earlier, then please post here and i'll make sure i am there...

cheers,


david..

[The Dr.Jon]

David, you are welcome to stay at mine on the Friday evening along with Martin Fennell, then it's a yet to be confirmed early start time to beat the feds and traffic. We will have to include a rendezvous point to meet up with the rest of the Sarf Landen Massive, could be Box Hill, or near Junction 6 of the M25 on the A22?

[Harry H]

Box Hill would be favorite for me as I like a bacon sarnie and a cup of tea before me hooning.

But I'll go with the flow.

[scanner]

Thanks Dr Jon,

i might crash at mates in South Godstone - will probalby have the step son with me... and my mates got a cage he can sleep in.....

i can get there for 9am without much undue stress... just got to find it!!

how many coming so far??

must remember to bring camera, and a fuel can for Hairy....

david..

[The Dr.Jon]

How about a provisional Box Hill at 8:00am for a breakfast meet up, set off from there between 8:30-9:00am after breakfast and the usual tyre kicking?:burnout:

David, your step-son is welcome too. As for petrol cans, Hairy really does have one stashed near Box Hill for emergencies from his last but one running out of fuel episode!:happy:

As for cameras, I've just ordered me a bullet cam set up for the bike, which I'm hoping to trial on the Southern Meet! Hopefully Omen and Martin will have theirs with them aswell?!? I need a couple of spectacular offs on camera to get some money from 'You've Been Framed' to pay for the camera, if any of you will oblige I'd be most grateful?
:cheers:

[scanner]

Dr Jon,

the only "off" you will get on the day is "fuck off".....

i think i'll just gaffer tape my camera to my lid !!

david...

[windy]

DJ; If my brother, Steve, makes it to my place this weekend he'll be nicking all my camera gear for his trip to France which starts on the 3rd June so I'll be cameraless for the Southern meet and if he doesn't smash it to bits I'll have it back for the Alps TT. It'll be down to you and Omen to take charge of filming for the Southern Meet.

Martin.

[Harry H]

I'll be delegating all responsibility for everything to everyone else. Including:- where we meet, what time we meet, camera work, navigation, catering, fuel provision, metrology, roadside engineering, finance,preperation, safety, stunt work and wardrobe.

Apart from riding my own bike.

Brilliant manager me. How else could I spend so much time on here

[Omen]

Responsibility accepted Martin,

I will make sure I have my camcorder on this time when Hairy runs out of petrol :bump:

Steve's footage should be quite interesting since he finds it very difficult to keep the R1's nose from pointing skywards half the time. What's his trip then and where & who is he going with? (If I'm not beeing too nosey)

D.

[TuonoTim]

Shit the bed, I'll be geeting up early then:whiner: No worries I'll be at box hill for brekky @ 8 ish :burnout:

[FTM]

[mook]

So cruel. Beginning to understand why my mom fed me with a slingshot.

The only sleep you'll need to make you look any better is under anaesthetic in a Harley street cosmetic clinic.

[The Dr.Jon]

Blimey! Better call the cops and sort a police escort and road blocks, don't forget yer yellow bibs for the ride out lads!:burnout:

[scanner]

We might have to ride in smaller groups.... i can see 10+ LOUD tuonos gettning a bit of attention from PLOD!!

it will certainly be a sight to behold (and hear) at Ryka's....

is it worth posting it on the Boxhill website as an Event??

or do plod monitor it.....

david..

[The Dr.Jon]

Hello Simon,
You've found the Dragons den then.
How are you finding the Tuono?

[hairy]

welcome aboard monkey,smaller sprocket no effect on the speedo,looks like the more the merrier monkey

[monkey hanger]

Cheers hairy.

Hi mook. Still getting used to the riding position. My backs so knackered from riding CBR/ZX6 that it doesnt respond too well to being sat up straight. Must be 20 years of slouching. :)

But on the twisties i reckon im 10% quicker than on the ZX6...Loving the torque. Finding im going a damn sight quicker than i realise with the twin compared to my old screaming 4. Gotta get used to that before i fly into a tree or summat. :)

[The Dr.Jon]

Welcome to the Darkside monkey hanger. :devil: See you at Box Hill, we meet at 8, on the road for 9, totally civilised.:burnout:

Don't forget your ear plugs!

See you all soon. Martin.

Don't forget the group at the back going really slowly cause they daren't bend their bikes just before the Alps TT.

[The Dr.Jon]

FTM, Omen and Martin: you have e-mail re route suggestions.

FTM: Hartlepool, eh?:rolleyes:

The best known tradition and legend associated with the fishermen of Hartlepool is the story of the hanging of the monkey. Tradition attributes this legend to the Napoleonic wars at the beginning of the nineteenth century. It was a December day and the coast at Hartlepool was subject to a heavy battering of gales and snow, through which a French vessel called the Chasse Maree could be vaguely seen just off the Hartlepool headland.
The fisherfolk of Hartlepool fearing an invasion kept a close watch on the French vessel as it struggled against the storm but when the vessel was severely battered and sunk they turned their attention to the wreckage washed ashore. Among the wreckage lay one wet and sorrowful looking survivor, the ship's pet monkey dressed to amuse in a military style uniform.
The fishermen apparently questioned the monkey and held a beach-based trial. Unfamiliar with what a Frenchman looked like they came to the conclusion that this monkey was a French spy and should be sentenced to death. The unfortunate creature was to die by hanging, with the mast of a fishing boat (a coble) providing a convenient gallows.

In former times, when war and strife
The French invasion threaten'd life
An' all was armed to the knife
The Fisherman hung the monkey O !
The Fishermen with courage high,
Siezed on the monkey for a French spy;
"Hang him !" says one; "he's to die"
They did and they hung the monkey Oh!
They tried every means to make him speak
And tortured the monkey till loud he did speak;
Says yen "thats french" says another "its Greek"
For the fishermen had got druncky oh!

[Harry H]

It's a bit early to have been drinking isn't it Doc

It works as an early rap song! Try it Eminem style!:happy: Should go down a treat in France.:rolleyes:

An' all was armed to the knife
The Fisherman hung the monkey O !
The Fishermen with courage high,
Siezed on the monkey for a French spy;
"Hang him !" says one; "he's to die"
They did and they hung the monkey Oh!
They tried every means to make him speak
And tortured the monkey till loud he did speak;
Says yen "thats french" says another "its Greek"
For the fishermen had got druncky oh!
i though it was the spanking of the monkey,cause there still all doing it

[monkey hanger]

Aye, im from Hartlepool...Cheers for the old monkey gag. Apparantly the monkey was a small boy which they used to call "powder monkeys" cos they were small enough to get round to the front of the cannon to get the gunpowder in. Anyhow at least we hung the smelly little french git, imagine his treatment if he'd have beached on Teeside! Everyone in the north east knows what they do with their kids. :p:

Are you selling you're bike twin4me. You really ought to think about improving your marketing. You'll never sell it if people don't know it's for sale:)

And there was me thinking you were here for pictures of parrots perched on erect penises.

I don't mind admitting I've bog all in common with those who think a bike forum is a good place to post porn.

(Apart from same bike, obviously).

Spank away....
I could'nt agree with you more RudeKid, this forum has become a hotbed of vice and depravity lately, perhaps you would feel more at home here http://www.bikersforchrist.org/ away from the ungodly pornmongers who have more interest in Hairys testicles than they do in motorcycles. Go , pray for them, for they know not what they do.

[The Dr.Jon]

Rudekid: Each to their own I guess, but given that you get a 162 miles to the tank, I think you need to check again, as I don't think you do have a Tuono.

[D@ve]

Hairy,
I think that was a unfeeling thing to do, RudeKid may have been raped by a pirate at some point in his life, and all you are doing is opening up old wounds, you should be offering him support and understanding. Go and stand in a corner and think about what you have done.

[The Dr.Jon]

I suggest that all attending the Southern Meet familiarise themselves with Hairy's signals before hand, as they can be confusing to those who aren't mental health profesionals:
Number1, I just love the Bee Geeshttp://www.ridemyown.com/articles/safety/images/sig-Start.gif
With your right or left arm extended, move your index finger in a circular motion.

Raise your left arm horizontal with your elbow fully extended.

Raise your left arm horizontal with your elbow bent 90 degrees vertically.


Number 4: That 10 pence on the ground is mine! I saw it first you fecker!http://www.ridemyown.com/articles/safety/images/sig-HazardLeft.gif

Extend your left arm at a 45 degree angle and point towards the desired coin (or any shiny object).

Number 5 http://www.ridemyown.com/articles/safety/images/sig-HazardRightA.gifThat's a white line that is.
Extend your right arm at a 45 degree angle and point towards the middle of the road. (This action may be changed when travelling abroad, treat with extreme caution)
Number 6 Caution. Slap head at 10 0'clock!http://www.ridemyown.com/articles/safety/images/sig-HazardRightB.gif
Extend your left arm upward at a 45 degree angle with your elbow bent to 90 degrees and point towards the bald fecker over your helmet.
Number 6 Feckin' bird just shat on me!http://www.ridemyown.com/articles/safety/images/sig-Speed.gif
Raise your left arm up and down with your index finger extended upward in the direction the offending bird was last seen.


Number 7, I've got a bogey on my glove that I can't shake off!http://www.ridemyown.com/articles/safety/images/sig-Slow.gif
Extend your left arm at a 45 degree angle and move your hand up and down.

Extend your left arm at a 45 degree angle with the palm of your hand facing rearward.


Number 9 Shit! I forgot my medication! Doh!http://www.ridemyown.com/articles/safety/images/sig-Single.gifPosition your left hand over your helmet with your fingers extended upward.


Number 10 I saw a guy in "Torque" do this once and I think it's way cool dude!http://www.ridemyown.com/articles/safety/images/sig-Stager.gifExtend your left arm upward at a 45 degree angle with your index and pinkie finger extended.

Number 11: Feck that Granny in a Nissan Micra just overtook me...again! http://www.ridemyown.com/articles/safety/images/sig-Tight.gif
Raise your left arm and repeatedly move up and down in a pulling motion.


Number 12: Ooh look, a pubescent girl. Sniff this darlin'!http://www.ridemyown.com/articles/safety/images/sig-Ticked.gif
Extend your left arm straight out with your elbow bent 90 degrees. Carefully extend your middle finger to clearly demonstrate your satisfaction . NOTE: It is not recommended you do this insight of her parents or the police or an armed gang of vigilantes.

Guys,

i've got a draft map that i've sent to Dr Jon, and all those on his email list.

if anyone else wants a copy, PM me with your email address and i'll forward it on.

it might change unless anyone has any objections...

see you all Saturday Morning - nice and Early!

david..

[scanner]

Anymore for anymore....

any increase in the numbers yet?

have you all seen a map of Dr Jon's proposed route?

any one want a copy?

my calculations work out to about 12-14 Tuono's - higher if Twin4Me get's his new steed in time....

any idea of other makes/models coming....

i might have a mate of a trumpet of some sort....

hope Hairy has a shit, a piss and a cuppa before he leaves home - and fuel's up.

as the route is about 200 miles, should we have breakfast, stop for lunch/fuel then a cuppa/fuel in the afternoon....

not long to go now.... maybe even Airahead will join us!, though i assume Rudekid will not ??

i'm at a mates in South godstone tomorrow night, so i'll be up with the crack of dawn - if she lets me!

david..

What do you reckon, Marble Arch, 7:30?
We'll head south and get on the A24.

[monkey hanger]

Ok, cool.

Is there an easy, visible place to stop and wait on Marble Arch? How about waiting outside the BMW garage on Park Lane?

[meganmabli]

have a great day fellas,i'd love to come along but its not practical to travel that far that early for a rideout,cardiff to london that is.we also have a babysitter for the day so me and the missus are going out on the bikes together.
wednesday evening i was riding through the brecon beacons heading to rhayader to watch the motocross when i came across a nasty accident at story arms.a badly battered tuono was laying in its side on the verge along with another bike i couldn't identify.the tuono looked like the carbon clad ones with the ohlins suspension.saw a similar bike earlier in the day at thunder road in bridgend,possibly the one they had in the showroom until recently.hope the riders are ok.

ps.plenty of pics please.

regards,
steve.

If those in the UK experience any seizmic activity, don't panic... this is because Batfastard is travelling South and this is upsetting the equilibrium of the earth's axis. When he heads back North on Monday all will be well again.

[ARAIHEAD]

To be honest:rolleyes: ( thats a joke in itself!) the reason i'm not attending the South Mini Meat is because me & BATFAST have to be at the opposite ends of the country for balance!!!!!!!!!!:confused: :)

[hairy]

well martin and bats have landed,me and the doc meet them at the last service station on the m1,they were a bit late due to martin forgetting his number plate:WTF: and his beast spitting out oil all over the shop,but quick trip to s/cross and all is sorted:worship: was a bit worried about the doc taking us threw the centre of london in case the boys got lost,so i sat at the back:eek: of course i got caught by a red traffic light[with camera on the fecker]so had to stop,and lost the feckers,made my own way back to the docs and ten minutes later the boys turned up[with a fuel stop on the way]so everything is all go for tomorrow,be there or be square dudes

[FTM]

I have done some copies of the route from Petersfield to Alton via Winchester to hand out to whoever wants one tomorrow.:burnout:

PS if it is raining I wont be turning up.:rolleyes:

Well everything was going well untill I miss judged a bend and glanced off the side of a car, so now I'm sat at home feeling sorry for myself with a bent bike and two sore feet.BOLLOX I'm off to get drunk now at a sad barbie for one.:pissed:

Every one rallyed around to help but the bike was too poorly to continue so that was it for me.

Thanks everyone,apart from the accident it was a good day and great weather.

:cheers: from a tosser.:o

[grahamcoxon]

Fark! Glad to see you are ok. The bike will mend..

[ARAIHEAD]

:eek: :( MACK, pleased to hear you are ok m8:) , the bike looks a bit mangled on both sides:confused: , is it an insurance jobby or will you be able to sort it yerself?.:bangwall:

[The Dr.Jon]

Can anyone anywhere with bits of Tuono lieing around the garage as spares please help FTM get back on the road in time for the Alps TT?

Come on fellas lets see what we can do.:)

[FTM]

Cheers Jon, I can get all of the parts I need except for a front wheel, I think this will be the problem.

I'll try a few breakers on monday, there must be one in a breakers somewhere.


There's a bit of orange paint on me crash hat, I think I must have hit the underside of a Easyjet when I was up in the air :confused: .

[Clivoris]

Glad to hear you're out and about FTM, and rebuilding the bike. Hope you bought a lottery ticket after that escape.:cheers:

[twin4me]

I'm sure there will be a full write up of the STT. Everything started off so well as you can see from the line of bikes at Box Hill. Here are a couple of pictures of the site of FTM's flying excursion.

[twin4me]

and here is what happened to the BMW that FTM used as his launch pad.

[meganmabli]

ftm,wishing you and the bike a speedy recovery.
regards,
steve.

[hairy]

[The Dr.Jon]

Too knackered for a full report after a weekends excess of biking bliss (apart from FTM's mishap, which unravelled right in front of me:eek: ), but we had an excellent days riding today around the Goodwood area and I even found a couple of cracking roads that FTM had taken me down previously which are now mentally logged to add to our route.

Slim, if you're reading this, apologies for not getting back to you, but the barbecue at mine went on for a long time into the night before a plan of sorts was hatched for a small ride out which required another early start and Box Hill wasn't on the agenda today. Catch you soon mate.:burnout:

[The Dr.Jon]

Roll call of attendees: Martin Fennell, Batfastard, Omen, Hairy, FTM, TuonoTim, 1st timePrilla, HarryH, Mook, Monkey Hanger, Twin4me and yours truly...The Doctor.:happy: Additionally there were some liggers on a Trumpet and a Duke S4.

I reckon it may be the biggest single gathering of the breed in the UK thus far?

Thanks to all who attended who made it such a memorable weekend. It was great to meet you all. Quality bikes and quality geezers.

I can hardly wait for the Alps TT...26 days to go:burnout: .

:cheers:

[TuonoTim]

How cool was that :) Top weekend. Really enjoyed meeting everyone, commiserations to ftm, but looks promising for a rebuild :burnout: Big thanks to The doc for his excellent hospitality :worship: See you all for the TT :)

[Batfastard]

Big thanks to the "Doc" for putting me up, or is that putting up with me? :rolleyes:
Thanks also to Omen [Damien] for the lead out of London this morning, made it out in one piece, and got home about 12:30. Did the last 100 miles across country in "T'Northern wastelands" in about 75 minutes - sorry no video M'lud.
I love these Pirellis. :burnout: :burnout:

Top weekend, great to meet everyone, and FTM, I hope you get the bits mate. Glad you were OK.

I have a couple of entertaning video clips - I'll upload them later.

As Windy [get a moderator to change you name?] and I were saying - you guys must come up North - or perhaps have a mini TT to Scotland and get on roads without 2 billion cars on them. :cheers: :cheers:

[scanner]

Well the traffic can be a problem on a lot of the roads round here, but we did sort some good weather for you, eh? :) We treat the cars like mobile chicanes down here, well apart from Banzai FTM san, who did his best to take one out for us!:burnout:

Good to meet you BF. Now get yer finger out and post that clip of the Martin Fennell fly past! Is it a bird, is it a 'plane? No, it's Windy Fennell at warp factor 9!:happy: ( You'll see what I mean when the clip is posted! )

Any prizes for guessing what BF would have said following the last clip?

It has to be said that me and FTM, him first, approached that corner....shall we say....considerably faster than you guys, wouldn't you say FTM?!:eek: You lads just came out of it quicker!:burnout:

[Omen]

Cheers Paul for posting those vid's & I am glad you made it safely out of deepest darkest South London!

Jon, thanks for your hospitality and the great BBQ!
Hairy - going to have to re-watch Raging Bull after we fast forwarded all parts to the film which didn't involve some sort of fighting.

Apart from FTM's mishap I think the ride out was a success and considering the numbers (14 in total, including 2 inferior bikes (Trumpet Speed Triple and a Ducati SR4) we all rode together well and no one got lost which was a result. It was good putting names to faces too.

1st Time Prilia - thanks for the maps you did and the "special" one for Hairy which included petrol stations and piss stops every couple of miles.

Tony, good luck in getting your Tuono sorted before the trip.

Thanks all for turning up and making the Tuono a little less rare then it actually is!

Bring on the French Alps :cheers:

p.s. - There is still one place up for grabs to join us in La Clusaz for one week starting Friday 30th June.

:bump: C'mon guys. Chuck the bikes in a container and spend a few weeks in the South Island of New Zealand during late February. Relatively light traffic flows, some policing but outstanding roads. Some people even check out the scenery which by all accounts is outstanding.:happy:

[The Dr.Jon]

Unfortunately, or fortunately, my vid camera wasn't on when FTM started stunting, but I do have the slo mo version etched in my mind.:eek:

However, here's a still of the mangled front wheel.
