I'd prefer it if you didn't wangle something. Very unsightly. >:(

Steve
The last weekend of July was the traditional date for the Annual Rally (first weekend of the school summer holidays usually). Why not choose that? As we both know trying to please everyone date wise isn't going to happen so that would seem as good as any. Only my penny's worth........

Maybe the XBR will be finished and I can give it a run- long way from down here...

Sounds like a plan to me.

Yup that's the one Steve, where we were going to have a meet before the floods cruelly thwarted us at the last minute :-\
Beautiful bit of country, and some great roads for Thumpers  :)

We need to rely on local knowledge for that. I'll contact Alistair at the pub and ask the question.

PS New POTD, do remember when Boyd went AOL! (just another funny story!) ;D

Just saw the POTD myself and it brought back memories of the get together at Crewkern.

(http://www.thumperclub.com/drupal/system/files/imagecache/node-gallery-display/photographs/2004/bg_crewkerne_2004_20.jpg)

Apart from me getting left behind after we stopped to view the Cerne Abbas Giant I seem to remember:

• SteveD's DR Big having its crank filled with fluid and being relieved by Jethro
  
• a very nice looking female member (blonde, tight black leathers etc.) fleeing after SteveD used his personal single cylinder in a very inappropriate way (similar to the above but without Jethros help)
• searching for ages, in the long grass, for the keys of the young lady above when they were infact not lost at all!
• Rick risking a Belgian beer that was 18%
• and finally, and I'm still having counselling for this, GC paraded his c0ck ring

Ah! Happy days indeed.............
