Just to clarify guys. I don't need thanking, Gareth does all the work, drives the van and a makes the sandwiches. All I do is move the bikes around the stand to make them look pretty.

...but a long term Falcone owner, and visitor to our stand, reckoned you can cruise at speeds as high as 60mph! Well, guess what b@@@@@ happened  :-\

If it's any consolation, I believed him too

Fellow Stafford stand crew, here's that GB500 I was telling you about, complete with hideous fairing.

That nails the argument that no one should take lsd unless all of us do!

I'd almost forgotten how F%^king ugly that fairing was!! :o

Good to hear from you again GC - wish I could have been there, sounds like a good time was had by all!

ive come a bit late to this topic, but i just want to echo the sentiments of other members here. massive thanks to gareth and graham for organising the stand, getting the bikes together, bringing tables, coffee machine, and drinks kettle, cups etc as well as sandwiches and just being fab company. i dont really know most of you guys as im not that involved with club events, but its always great to meet up with you and just listen to the banter, id rather sit back and observe the world going by than stand out and chat to folk, but its just an absolute pleasure to be there amongst you all. thanks to the lot of you, i look forwards to the stafford show cos its just an interesting event attended in the company of interesting and funny people. cheers chaps, im hoping ive got something actually worthy of showing next time.

Your M21 was easily as interesting as anything else I saw over the weekend, in fact, i was discussing it with Tony the Lurker earlier. We definitely had a right mix of bikes on the stand  :)
The thing I like about any of our Thumper meet ups, is you can just be as you want to be. There is absolutely no pressure on anyone to pretend, or be something they aren't. If you see what I mean  :-\ And long may it continue  :)
Namaste

And the absolute antethesis of a Thumper, parked near where we were camped  :-\
