I don't do mornings... ...anyway, if Sunday was anything to go by, nor do you ;D

Just sorting out a few OOF T-Shirts, though may finish off in morning now as its getting a bit late.

I still need to:
- print off directions for both journeys
- get a kit bag to put everything into
- get some bungees or ropes to secure everything to the bike
- sort clothes out
- sort stove and kettle
fun fun fun...

Hope to be up there on Thursday if not will be Friday, trying not to tell the wife that the weathers not good ::)......Doug (Timbuk) will be down today and plan on doing wishbones on the CDX tomorrow. :y

I wish I could be there, but its a bit far and the wife is taking me back to Paris! (its been 4 years since we moved away)

;D ;D ;D No Andy, TB has obviously got a very slow miggy (it is a diesel after all!) that needs days in hand to get their just as everyone else is arriving! ;D ;D ;) Perhaps someone can overhaul his engine for him whilst at the Lakes? ;D ;)

Call in Jaime, junction 18 M6, I could do with a hand doing my rear brakes ;D

Good trip up, Enjoy, see you friday, save us a nice big pitch!
Ohh, and a T-shirt for Ljay ;D

I'll be leaving Friday morning. Journey should take around 5 hours depending on traffic so should be there early afternoon. I've actually got Thursday off work too, but need to sort a few things out like cleaning up the BBQ and checking the gas, then a bit of shopping for essential supplies such as beer, beer, and did I mention beer? ::) :D
I suppose a bit of food wouldn't go amiss either.

Nope, MV6. Was going to use tractor, but it has a minor problem that I need to look at before taking it on longer journeys...

Long range forecast appears to be slightly better .. but I bet it changes yet again !!
Just peg those tents done well .. :)

I might save you a nice big pitch right next to mine, so I can utilise the 'Russell Chef' device at breakfast time ;D
Not got time to do any more T-shirts, but I'm taking a few OOF logo'd ones that will be sold at discounted rate of £5-£6 each, first come first served.

Cheers pete! I'll nip round with it tomorrow!
Bikes pretty much packed now though :) Got a big-ass kit bag style thing (mainly waterproof), has the tent, mattress and sleeping bag in it. Just need to wrap the pillows up in a binbag, and strap to the top (or get some inflatables if i reckon they will work), and fill the panniers up with clothes & supplies, and a backpack with laptop and camera (if I can steal someones power to charge batteries from time to time ;) ) and some extra supplies...

You'd be welcome some from me, you'd more than deserve it if you've riden all the way to the Lakes on a 125!
Take your time though, we don't want to hear reports of you being squished enroute! :o :y :y

We'll be leaving 5.30 friday night, see you all bout 9ish
Its gonna be good to put faces to names.
I've still debating whether to bring my 3mx3m gazebo for doing the exhaust manifold gaskets in & incase anybody else needs it
what do you guys think??

Have a great time everybody. I will be somewhere a bit warmer than Keswick.
Here's a clue. (http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/europe_dayforecast.asp?day=3&locationID=2331) :y

Not looking so good this year then. 8-) Rain or shine, it will be the best time. :)

And this year I have my two burner stove to try out :y
if it saves you room, I have 3 saucepans here, 2 frying pans (sadly not non stik) and a spare kettle if you are tight for space. also got plenty bacon, sausages and beans etc. no haggis though...

Cheers andy :y I will be taking my time though, I'm not a loon on the bike! Don't understand the ethos some bikers have in riding at break-neck speed, or doing unsafe manouvers (not that the 125 will do anything above 60!)
Should be setting off Friday about 10am, so be there around 2 or 3pm I reckon!
-
If you're lucky there might be a cold one left for you .. and I'll try and find one of those blow-up seat rings my grandad used to use .... methinks you'll have a sore arse by the time you get there !!
;D ;D ;D
-
....
..... so be there around 2 or 3pm I reckon!
Friday? ;D ;D ;D
If you want to save some space I've a couple of cheapo 4-way extension leads I can bring with me.

Yeah Friday ;D
I'll bring up a 4-way which I have, so should be fine, but its only a 2meter one, so may need something a tad longer to piggyback!

I'll put my ??? long extension reel in then. I'll be miles too long for most occasions but I'd be too embarrassed to bring my other. There's tape every few feet where the rabbit (since deceased) ate it! ;D :y
