BOSM: Cars v Bikes?
|
Right,
How many 'Rufty-Tufty' Bikers are taking cars to the BOSM then?
|
Good. You can take my new tyres home.
|
If he doesn't, I probably could. Heading down the M5 on the way home, and I
may be taking the Probe with the Tardis-boot.
|
|
|
No problem.
Especially if it means that we've got to do 30 miles back to her folks
on Saturday night with them on her lap... All of a sudden the Merc
appeals :-)
|
|
Dunno about "rufty-tufty" ones, but I'll be in the c^H^H^H mobile skip.
I wouldn't consider bringing the 450 and the B12 won't be put on the road,
until the day my insurance docs arrive for it (no tax either- see?).
Handy thing about cars is being able to fire up the engine and turn on the
heater if it gets cold....
|
And a big lad like you ;o)
|
|
Weather looks a mixed bag, with most service concurring on for a sleety
Sunday, so the journey home might be a little less than enjoyable.
|
Good golly. I remember the old days of the first (Eddie arranged) EOSMs.
The only one to turn up in a car would be Bear (bad back, fear of red
mist etc).
How things change.
|
S'cuse me, but I've turned up for several *OSMs by bike.
I think I've taken the car a couple of times too, mind.
|
This will be the first of all those I've attended that I'll have turned
up at in a car and that's because my companion doesn't do pillions. She
prefers to ride up front but doesn't have a bike at the moment.
|
|
I haven't been for a while. It must have been the 1st or 2nd and you
were complaining about my noisy motorcycle.
Actually, I don't think you were at the 1st. That was where I first met
|
Yes I was. You're 0-2 ... go you!
|
I wish I understood that.
|
|
Champ and Colin Irvine, Molly and Melanie etc. If I remember rightly,
TOG and myself met up with AndyB on the way up too. Blimey, it's all
flooding back - I think Pawel rode up with us as well after we met up at
my house. I remember TOG getting all stressed out when we got a bit lost
on the way...
|
That was it. I swapped bikes with The Greasy Pole, who had an R6, and I
absolutely *hated* it.
|
|
|
|
|
Planning to take the bike, unless it's below 0C. The last ride out
that had snow at the side of the roads wasn't much fun.
|
I'll have to fit my high tech carb heating device to the Bandit[1].
Seems to work wonders it does.
[1] A bent up bit of thick cardboard to direct ening cooling air over
the carbs.
|
|
|
I'm planning on taking the car, as I'm hoping to have sold the bike later on
today...
|
|
Remind me again what the 'S' stand for in BOSM?
|
Soggy. As in "Being Overtly Soggy Meet".
|
|
|
Some folk haven't got a car, all we've got is our rice burners ,as you
called them last year.
|
Them Rice Burner's are nice fun bikes.
500 or 350?
|
That's not what you meant at that time.
|
??
My memory fails me?
Happens regularly at my age ;o)
|
|
|
|
Me and LB on bikes as ever
|
|
I'm still planning to take the Barge, I just hope that my B8stard manager
doesn't throw a spanner in the gubbins by expecting me to work
tonight/tomorrow. I told him weeks ago that I would not be available this
weekend, but he insists I am!
|
If you've told him your not available, and it's not in your contract
that you are on call, why does he expect you to be working?
Just turn your phone off.
|
He reckons I should be available for special circumstances.
He also reckons, that he advised me ages ago that this job would be on this
weekend.
I don't GAF as he's leaving today and I don't know who his replacement is,
so, my phone will be in the offus maximus position on the dot 16:49 today
;o)
Unless he gets me first :o/
|
|
It's a get out clause in case he just decides not to come. Some
people just can't say "I didn't want to come after all" and need to
pre-make a reason.
|
I'm not going because I don't feel like it. Which is exactly the reason
I have never signed up for food, because I know I change my mind :-)
|
This is why you're a good person.
|
|
I used to be indecisive.
Now,
I'm not so sure ;o)
|
|
I do hope he understands that he's still paying for the food Mu is
providing even if he doesn't turn up.
|
|
We'll see. I don't do weekends!
Look forward to meeting some more of you chaps/chapesses.
|
I'll be biking.
Drinking
and sleeping in between other things
|
A bit cramped in a tent methinks, between other things?
|
|
These other things of which you speak?
|
You'll have to be there to find out........
|
|
|
This you of whom you speak?
