Should be the first Busa ride in ages

So far then it's:

Phil Snr.
Busa Brian.
Arthur (A newbie from Devon Bikers' faceache group).

Any more takers?

Still no bike

Now the puncture is fixed (and I replaced the rear calliper - another story), I would come join you, but alas have from friends round.
However, up for mid week rides atm...

Working sorry

Too blody hot for me. Sorry Phil

Sorry Phil, can't make tomorrow got some stuff to do for Mike.

Same here.
Just can't face being out in full bike gear right now.

And there'll be a cloud in the sky so it might rain

I've just been out for a quick spin and now I've changed my mind.
All being well I'll meet you at Bridge but if I'm running late I'll catch you at Greedy's.

See you all tomorrow.

Yep, nothing out there tomorrow that aerated textiles and keeping on the move won't cure .

Looks like spreading the word amongst the local F/b biker groups has maybe roped in a few more victims - we're in danger of being outnumbered !

SWB:
Phil Snr.
Busa Brian.
Richard.

F/b:
Arthur.
Jon.
Mal
Kevin (?).

Have a good run people.

Unfortunately one of the non-SWB riders had an off. Completely inept riding. My impression was he has learning difficulties. Low speed, about 35mph and he clipped a kerb. Ambulance took him to hospital, suspect minor injuries.
