Ya mean 2010!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
It's his age... we're lucky he was that close, in his world it's still 1969 ;) :D :D
Incidentally Bruce, the bloke who is pictured pushing his BSA/Steib up the slope on the front page of my website got in touch with me, he was very keen to know where I'd got the photo from.

Jethro tells me that the tickets are here. That's myself, Jules and Furry sorted, along with Jethro of course. Pat and Richard have tickets.
Anyone else venturing to Dragon Country? { Apart from Bruce of course, that's a given :) }

I was going to say that !
Jethro

Still waiting for my ticket :(
It was a bit of a shocker when Pat and Richard said they'd already rec'd theirs when we were sat in the pub last saturday night. I sent my cheque off on tuesday in the end.
GC
-
Why am I getting excited about camping in February in North Wales?? When you say it out loud, it's sort of wrong, but in my head it makes me smile ;D
-
My ticket arrived yesterday and my brother's batch (including BJ's) turned up today. Phew ;)
I'm staying in Rhayader on the Thursday and Llanberis on the Friday, I'm going to make a real long weekend of it. If I can persuade Sue to drive up with the kids I might also manage Sunday night in Conwy with our friends Pete and Stephanie.

I have booked digs in Betwys(again) but have not got around to ordering the rally tickets yet.
-
Tickets arrived today ;D ;D

Squirrelciv, I found the pic I was on about of the firework smoke-

-
remember that well. The cloud just kept growing as I remember. Reckon somewhere in Devon would have had a full blown monsoon by the evening ;D
-
That was a good Dragon and probably why I didn't stop going.
I hope its not on Anglesey again.
Richard
-
Just booked the room at Bettws for the Friday night.
Looking forward to it all.

Eh ! You stopping with my Folks in Bettws ?
Not going to Betws in North Wales ?
Jethro
-
S'funny. Theres a Betws near us too...............
Wouldn't want to stay there though.
Not even got a pub.
-
::)
-
Giving this one a miss I'm afraid.
I'm heading for Germany the week before, so wouldn't be popular at home if I disapeared a week later into North Wales.
Still, good news, when I don't go it usually turns out not to be Angelsey!
Andy
-
We'll miss you (and your cocktail cabinet). Sure you can't sneak off, even if just for the Saturday night?
GC
-
I doubt it, but never say never eh!
The cocktail cabinet is no more, converted back to cold weather stuff. There'll still be room for the G&T of course ;D
Andy

Got my ticket and accommodation at Llanberis booked.
Attendees for the bunkhouse so far are:-
Graham (Blue Honda 500 thingy)
Simon (Blue XT660Z Ten)
Terry (Blue BMW GS 650)
Steve (me) Khaki XT660Z Ten)
Pat ( Pink Suzuki 800 thingy)
Martyn (Blue DR750 Suzi)
Tricky + 1 (White XT660Z Ten + ? suspect multi)
Mark (Blue XT660Z Ten)
Garet and Liz (double room) (Anybody's guess?)
I recon we can call that full and then we can send GC into the other double room so his 'sawing' doesn't keep us awake! ;D
I suppose we can accommodate more bodies but thet will be sharing with GC or on the floor!!! :o
-
Snore? me? :o I'm offended ;) :D
I'm looking forward to it, a nice wander around those Llanberis climbing shops, one of which serves a ferocious espresso, a nice meal in Petes Eats and a 10 metre walk to the pub opposite. All good stuff.
GC
-
For those of a quieter if more rugged dispostion I will be stopping off at the usual place with the usual suspects. Anyone else interested needs to get in touch with me or any of those that attended last year
Steffan
-
Having seen pictures of last year's camp-out on the Friday I have to say it looked fantastic. I hope you guys have a great time there again this time.
GC
-
Don't forget the Curry and Beer festival on Thursday night in Cardiff.
Myself and Furry will be in Bettws y Coed on Friday night.
Any one else there ?
Sharon.
-
"Pat ( Pink Suzuki 800 thingy)"
Charming! It's not pink, it's maroon and it's not a 'thingy' either. ::)
While we're on the subjecy of colour.... When did the XT'thingy' become Khaki?? I thought it was beige ;D
Will it be working by then??

Steffan
Will possible non-dragonistas be allowed? I'm betting I'll be catching up on housework and scrapeing salt off the Bonneville post elefant (hence no Dragon ticket), but I might get a pass out for the Friday if I manage to aquire sufficient beer/cheese/noodles/gin on my travels.

Spendid TD.
I'll drag the old duffer around. Should be alright as long as Nurse packs his tablets and Nigel his bear.
I would hope to be in Bettws mid afternoon.

Pat, why not ride down to here, leave the bike in my garage, Mol will take us to the Curry and back, sleep here, yes there is a spare bed, then a gentle ride home in the morning to get ready for the Dragon.
Furry
-
Cheers for the offer Fury, but my thinking is more political. Wifey would probably throw a wobbly if I'm enjoying myself for 3 nights on the trot! I mean, that would never do!!
I'll be there for the scoff, just might have to sneak off a tad early for my beauty sleep that's all.
Very big cheers for the generous offer though. Very much appreciated. ;)
-
My and my mates tickets arrived this morning ;D, next thing not sure whether to take the XT500, DT400mx or something totally radical, we are thinking of buying mopeds and doing it on them ala Clarkson and Co. in Vietnam :o.
Will
-
Mopeds! Mopeds! Mopeds! :D :D
GC
-
I've just realised that I've only got a month and a bit to get my sidecar outfit sorted for this ::) By my usual standards that's lots of time, I'll probably do it all in the week before the rally... but it would be good to get it done sooner.
GC

One of the joys of riding a solo. ;D
A necessity in my case ???

Glad to see next years rally is back in Capel Curig :)
I have booked the Glan Aber for the Friday night
See you guys there.
Will

Glad to see next years rally is back in Capel Curig :)
The club's website says it's a new site and implies it's along the lines of the lovely old Capel Curig site (but not the site itself).
Anyone had checkpoint details yet?
GC
-
I wonder what they mean by 'back to nature'?
-
Probably means there are no facilities and you poo in the woods. ;D
Jethro will have to watch his jacket. ;)
Seriously, it suggests a more traditional site, and I think mention is made of Capel Curig to illustrate this type of site rather than saying that's where the rally will be. Given the snow in recent years, this could mean a snowy Snowdonia based camp site ;D rather than riding through the snow and then onto Anglesey.
Rob.
-
My fingers are crossed.
-
Hang on, Isn't that where I fell into thet Blooming big puddle!
Time to dig out the dry suit! :o
I'll definately be bringing my little chacoal burner as well ;D
.....and a little birdie has told me that I have a Tarp coming. ::)
-
Steve - my brother intends bringing some sort of shelter and we're keen to have the same sort of set-up that you managed at llanthony, namely a tarp overhead, a windbreak and a couple of burners going. Perhaps we can combine tarps? ;)
GC
-

A Naturist Camp ?????

Who is Bob and what are you planning on doing to him again ? Why does it involve nudity ?
Richard

clearly taking camp to a whole new low

That sounds a good idea. I know that big Mark is planning to bring some charcoal and Simon now has his burner so we should be able to fabricate something quite impressive and homely should the weather be inclement! ;D
-
Happy to bring a tarp, paracord and poles. If I ever get my act together and get a working MZ and sidecar then I would bring a lot more than that.
My giant canvas bell tent and a woodburner would be nice.
Richard
-
Giant Canvas Bell End AND Get Wood !???
That does take Camp to a New Level.......!
Jethro
-
One of those occasions on which the eye of the beholder says it all......
-
I'm guessing we should be expecting our rally directions any day now. I have to say that I'm really hoping it's not on bloody Anglesey.
GC
-
After last night I would have a hell of a job getting out of here at all - it's all a bit white at the moment.
Steffan
-
I rode up to penrith/Chester-le-street and back earlier this week, and got some practice in on the old snur...
(http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l230/phatphord/bikes/IMG_3452.jpg)
Looking forward to seeing you all at the Dragon
-
To be honest guys, I hope the snow and ice bu99er off before the Dragon this year. Really don't fancy the VX on the slidey stuff, especially along the A roads of Mid Wales :'(
With you on the Anglesey front GC. Don't mind the ride over, it's just a crappy site. Is this Dragon the big 50??
-
Nah, this one is the 49th, the big 5 0 next year. I got a feeling this years is going to be somewhere between Betws and Conwy. ::)
-
Hmmm, perhaps I need to drag my a**e down to Wales next year then ::) ;D
-
I'm with Gc and hope it's not on Anglesey. Perhaps for this and next year it will be in Snowdonia. Too much to hope it's at Beddgelert again, that really was a fine site in '08.
Personally, I'm hoping for snow again. I think Pat , that the problem with the VX is not the weight, but the wheelbase. It's a long bike and probably steers like the Titanic, which is made worse by the ice and snow, also a problem experienced by the Titanic.
Rob.
-
Could be right there Rob, the feeling is of the front wanting to wash out :o Feels horrid, almost dream of the back end kicking out ;D
-

I remember reading on another forum that the rally is unlikely to be held at Beddgelert again,something to do with ''complaints by incomers'' or something similar.I don't know if there is any truth in this.I agree with Rob,it was a cracking site.
-
Loved that Dragon. T'was only a short walk to the pub and the Rugby ;D
-

Wales v England this year, will have to get out to see that.
-
Sounds good. Looking forward to it, where ever it is....
-
Still no details in the post :(
On the plus side, I have negotiated a big tub of beef stew for the saturday night, courtesy of my dad's cafe.
I also thought that if the Llanberis crowd want to save money then we can cook up a big spag bol or suchlike for the Friday night. The kitchen and lounge at the bunkhouse are well up to the job and it would give us more wonga for the funny little pub over the road. ;)
GC
-
Now that sounds good to me. We can get 'materials' from the Spar shop or bring stuff up. We need to cater for 11 persons and then just share the cost.
-
Not much of a cost for a big spag bol ;)
Of course I would need to rustle up a veggie version for Liz, but that's easy enough.
If we agree on it then I will get Gareth to pick up a heap of mince from his tame butcher. As you say we can buy the rest of the ingredients from the local shop.
GC
-
Sound good to me GC ;D
-
Sounds good to me to. Put me down for the Spag Bol.

Directions arrived this morning. 10 miles brom Betws y Coed, woodland site, "back to nature". Steve, wheres your shovel ?
Sounds good, and a long way from Anglesey.
Richard
-
Yep, got my direction letter too. Funnily enough, was only talking about this yesterday. Speak of the devil and all that. Should be a good 'un ;D
-
Still no details here or at my brother's house :(
Can you PM me the checkpoint location?
Cheers
GC
-
Cheers for that Richard. A nice ride for us Llanberis types in the morning then:
From Llanberis over Pen y Pass, on to Capel Curig then Betws y Coed, then up to the checkpoint. You couldn't have chosen a prettier run. Of course if the weather is bad enough to close Pen Y Pass the only option will be a fast slog along the A55 and then a drop down to the checkpoint... much less appealing.

Havent got mine YET !

Hi, just been talking to GC reference the directions. In my younger climbing/mountaineering days (Ok, OK A long time ago) I used to camp at a "woodland" site in this area, it was well known for the thinness of the soil cover over a layer of shingle and rocks. I suggest we should arm ourselves with some decent tent pegs and a hammer!! to allow for this possibility.
Furry

Me too, thank god it's not Anglesey.
With the rally being so close to Conwy I might blag a bunk at my mate's place there and have a drink with him on sunday night, followed by an leisurely ride back on Monday.

Simon
-
Will you be on the Ten, Simon? My directions came yesterday as well, despite my Edinburgh-based friend's envelope arriving last week. It's the speedy post down here in Swales...
-
Will you be on the Ten, Simon?
Yes, provided it (and myself!) survive the Eleffant and Tauern treffens the week before!
-
On that note, you and the other Treffen lads ride safe.
GC

Just a quick note to say that we now have TWO spare places for the accommodation at Petes' Eats for the Friday evening. Tricky and his mate have had to pull out for very understandable reasons.
If wanted I could get the tickets. :o

...Tricky and his mate have had to pull out for very understandable reasons...

Hiya,
just scraped through getting a ticket before they sold out - and have finally got official confirmation that I know won't have to work on the Saturday So am riding up from Newport South Wales on the saturday morning to pop my dragon cherry!
Is anyone here riding up from South Wales / Bristol (etc) area on the Saturday?
-
I know a bloke who is riding up on the Saturday from Cardiff, I'll chat to him to see if he wants company.

Hi all,
Its official, I have opted to leave the DT400 or my XT500 at home and do this years Dragon on a 20 year old Honda C90, a four stroke single so technically a thumper :P, the old girl is a bit tired looking but passed the MOT yesterday.
A few hours to give her a bit of a clean up, fit the rack I bought on ebay and the handlebar muffs, load her up with all my kit and she is ready for the off on the Friday of the Dragon.
I am riding up from Pembrokeshire via Llandovery to meet my mate. He is on his newly acquired for the Dragon CB250RS (which he will be selling after for about £600) and my other mate on his 36 year old Suzuki B120. We are going to be like a trio of second rate Clarkson and Co ala Vietnam.
Anyone else fancy tagging along, we plan to leave the West End Cafe in Llandovery at about 10.30 on the Friday, speeds wont be breathtaking, I anticipate a 40-45mph cruising speed. Compulsory Tea stops on route will also be order of the trip, aim to get to Bettws (Glan Aber) about 3ish. PM if anyone interested.
Look forward to meeting forum guys at the Dragon and sharing a beer.
See you soon
Will
-
Much respect Will.
I look to be in Bettws the same time. See you in the Glan Aber for a port and lemon.
I assume you will be the one in the handmade purple crushed velvert suit. ;)
Rob.

Damn! you have already caught a glimpse of my riding apparel ;D

-
Maybe i'll bring along an enormous wooden cutty sark boat for you to strap on the back!
If any of the three in my area are up for some company on the ride up give me shout!
Think was allready mentioned - dont wanna end up the wrong side of the river for the checkpoint!
my sat nav consists of an adress label with my route scribbled on it and stuck to the tank ::)
-
I'll be heading up friday am, group consisting of 2 MT350s, an MT500, Enfield 500, Norton 16H, 1200 Stortster and a 1340 FXR. ::)

Just a thought, why not bring along something snacky to share around on the Saturday night?
examples:
Salami
Beef jerky
Nibbles
Pork Pies
Pickled eggs
Cheese
Chilli vodka (not sure about that one)
If we all bring something along then we can have a veritable feast (and possibly indigestion).
Anyone up for wearing silly hats? If so then the sillier the better and I'll bring a prize along for dopiest headgear.
GC
-
Well I'll bring the Chili Vodka and Beef Jerky then.
Richard
-
I will bring some nibbles along, whatever I can muster in the Spar in B Y C. Plus it will save me carrying the extra weight from Pembrokeshire on the C90 :P
Will
-
I will bring some nipples along, whatever I can muster in the Spar in B Y C. Plus it will save me carrying the extra weight from Pembrokeshire on the C90 :P

Cant get Nipples down your way then ?

Woohoo, only a few days to go ;D ;D
I'm looking forward to this year's rally, probably more so because it's one of the few bike events I will be getting to for a while. I'm hoping it's a rough site like Capel Curig used to be, it should deter a few of the 'badge-hunters' who have been turning up the last few years. I hope everyone remembers to bring their sidestand plates ;)

-
Warren (Zim1), Gareth (Silverfox) and I will be meeting up at 8.00 on Friday morning for our ride up to Llanberis.

Right pretty much packed...(or should that be thrown together) the outfit.
Pop into Gwent Camping for a new pillow.
Then to Cardiff to repack with robG and some of Jules bits.
Meet with some Germans and other Newport and Cardiff peoples for an evening of Merryment. Beer....Currry.....Beeeeer !
Start off tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow afternoon meet up with some West Waleian contingent for camping and more merryment
And see the rest of you Dragoneers at the site ;D ;D ;D
Jethro.....where did I put those tickets ?.........and directions...!!!

I just thought I'd better tell people that as I am going to the rally on a solo I will NOT be bringing a big pot of beef stew... sorry about that.

All set for the off in the morning, one slight hitch, me and my 2 mates have decided this year to leave our usual steeds behind and go up on a C90 me, Suzuki B120 John, CB250RS Phil, and a late entry tagger alonger on a Velocette 200, Ash.
So whats the hitch ??? Johns B120 needs new crank seals, ordered them turned up yeterday, went to fit them today, ooer wrong size. New seals coming in the morning by 9am, fit in an hour load up and hopefully off by 10.30. Nothing like leaving things to last minute ::)
Due to this hiccup we are not going to go to Llandovery to meet Phil as planned, we are going to head up the coast and meet him in Aberaeron, a quick cuppa in the Celtic cafe, then on to Bettws via a few stops. Hopefully be at the Glan Aber for around 5pm, just in time for a gargle or 2 and a liitle supper, followed by a bit more gargle.
Look forward to meeting you guys there and hope can join you for a beer or two.

You would have, but the B120 repair job has knocked us back :-X. Which way are you heading from Llandovery, and what are you riding.

I'll be in a group of 3 Armstrongs, Enfield, Norton 16h and a Sportster so will be travelling at much the same speed as you. :D

Might see you on route then ;)
