Having said that, my hands were pretty darned cold after that short rip, so I just scuttled back home and meddled in the garage for a while

Sorry about that Mouse we would obviously have hung on if we'd known you were on your way. Only 3 off us left Exeter, but we picked another 8 or 9 @ Plymouth so we had to leave on time to meet with them. We still managed to be a bit late after Delvey had a crack in his 2-stroke exhaust, and then I was trying to run out last October's stale fuel and I've got no fuel gauge, so I had to stop on the way when I hit reserve. Would it be a good idea in future if the lead rider gave their mobile phone number so someone can call through in such circumstances? I expect someone will tell me of a good reason, why that's not a good idea? Still it could have been worse, you could have come out on the ride and ended up having to get a lift home!

No, it was entirely my fault for not saying I'd be there before hand All I had to do was post up that I'd be there, but I didn't know until I got up that I fancied going

Not a problem at all

There is another guy who will remain nameless ( R1Dave ) That never notices that anything is going on behind him until in his case we turned off in Devon and he was in Cornwall
