The Chequers Pub (Hanham by the river)19th or 21st

I didn't know that was there The 19th is looking like the most likely date which, according to this, will coincide with the local Harleys club meet!!

Are we sure we want to anywhere between Bristol and Bath on that night? www.thisisbristol.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=144913&command=displayContent&sourceNode=200267&home=yes&more_nodeId1=144916&contentPK=14876873

Oh arse!!! I work out that way, so I have this to look forward to combined with them digging up the Gloucester Rd/Cromwell Rd just where I live for the next four weeks and a winter of hell while the create a "showcase bus route" along the A420/A431 which is my usual commute AAAAAAARGH!!!!

Don't let Mechsympathy anywhere near the pub choice - we had a very interesting evening last time we went north of Bristol!! Psychobert acted like a magnet for the local village "character"

In my defence the curry was pretty good, but I have to admit the pub was shocking

Maybe worth getting another motorbike for a few months Bill?

That had occured to me too

dazren said:

WTF is a "bimble"?

I think he might have found that you need to be a little more circumspect with rwd and shedloads of torque

Go on!!!!!!

I'm struggling for space until I get the other 3 garages.





Unless I get rid of the workbench and storage...

There's a nice long one under a hill in Dorset which I want to try out too, only been down through it so far in the S4 but I'm looking forward to coming up through it in the TR.

Where to's that then???

WEDNESDAY 19TH.....

4 - Hoon out north of Bristol to a pub (someone with local Knowledge to select)

Didn't someone recommend a pub in Portishead recently (Bearing in mind that I've been away, so recently was probably last year) We could do the usual (ahem) bimble backwards and end up there.

Note to self: Consult a map before coming up with a plan

in order to identify any potential sources of excessive emmissions.

Presumably this is why a curry is such a popular option

Oh arse. That's a bit of a blow.

For those that want to, I have a spare seat in the Caterham.

Take it that's a "no", then?

If you can get over to St Andrews you can share a taxi with me and Glen and SWMBO.

HTH

Sadly, once again I'm looking increasingly unlikely...

I was looking forward to giving you grief about your landy servicing.

pdV6 said:

Might as well walk straight there as go to yours!

You'll get horribly sweaty, but on the bright side there'll be plenty of sunbathing going on

Spent most of the time drinking rioja rehydration juice. Didn't seem to work though. I just got pi$$ed.

Not a bad way to end the day.

In spite of the drizzle we got home safely in Glen's starship, Adrian and Pete were in a soggy TR and Alec was on cut slicks
