UK Advrider meet - March Moon 2010

The familiar site of my new (to me) pride and joy loaded to the gunnels



I had to ride over to Shep532s' house where we loaded the 950 onto the trailer as we had Shep532 Junior come along this time and his 250 was in the back of the van.

We pitched the tents and went to the watering hole.

Rockhopper



The bike park



The new diesel Tenere



Vtwinsforme doing his best gnome impression, don't be fooled he's well over 6 foot.



Shep532





Shep532 Jnr.





Tijgerke

You notice he's getting a little giddy with the right hand?



Then he heads straight for me and I have to get outta the way sharpish!!! :huh



Cool as you like Tailender Oldroadrider



We did some cracking lanes, lots of testing ruts and some great scenery.







I had a problem with the slave cylinder, but it wasn't going to stop my day, no mineral oil could be found so imagine the look on the garage attendants face when two muddy bikers asked for a bottle of baby oil? :eek1

We put the theory to the test and I'm happy to say it did the job and we continued on for the early part of the afternoon.





We had some evening entertainment from Chubbythumper who'd brought a chinese lantern to go off, we had visions of a trail of destruction as tents were set ablaze, but I'm happy all went to plan





A great weekend was had and it was good to meet up with old friends and meet new, can't wait till the next time

Finally home.

Yes mate, water hose split, AA man was there in 45 min and fixed it with a new hose

Great vid Terry but no pics of the Sherco


Bob.

Went to the Snowdonia NP on Saturday. Great lanes, great views.




Roeligan on top

First real ford



IIRC, this is where the downhill with all these stone walls ended. Tan Aeldroch Farm. Looked like a great place to camp.






Hopefully the Sunday group did pay for our coffee. We promissed the lady they would.
But maybe we better hide in the woods for a while.



Roeligan.



Sweaty bikers lane



Bob starting a shortcut to Australia.













Back on tarmac we get a little show from these fellas



Not sure who won, but the kids will look like him, in a few months.

Good shootin Bert

Had an excellent time. A short movie to below:

From what I've heard, you'd probably fill it with unleaded......

Good to meet up with the Cloggie contingent again.

Big thanks to all of the organisers, run leaders & tailenders.

Finally home.

I had my orange one stolen not far from your work outside the Irish Centre on York Road. Devastated I was, but I've got this beauty now and I've got to look forward.

Shame you couldn't make it at the weekend, it would've been good to meet up again.

At last I found time ti upload the few pics I took.

The camp site


Our tailender Will ........ will what you ask? No no no ..... that's his name - WILL (short for Will)


One of those "where are we" moments


Apparently these girls turned out in support of our Yoekshireman DeeGee. He's from a land where men are men and sheep are worried (is that right Gav?)


MikeyShep Jnr on his WR250. May have been the novice of the group but at times he showed most of us up!!


Except for here where he need a little bit of help


Time for a fuel stop where Tom discovered just how expensive Diesel is here in the UK


Rob and his new 'bling' jacket (look at Wil in the background - he's dazzled)


The unstoppable WR250


Tom on his Tenere - for once going in a straight line (can you smell diesel?)


Ahhh ............ maybe not going in a straight line Must have diesel on the back tyre


What a view eh?


Mmmm ........ looks like it might be a little tricky ahead


I tried the run-up technique - didn't work. I think I may have slipped on a patch of diesel (!)


"Go on - gizza go"


"aww ........ go on - you can ride my big un"


What a lovely view


Sorry - I meant this pic
What a lovely view


Even better now there's a KTM in it!


And finally back home

And a few little vids

Wil once again showing us all how it should be donw


Tom having straight line issues as usual


DeeGee on the flying red bull machine


Rob making it look easy (not)

Nice vid Bob.

Here's my pics from RD09 Rob C leading and myself as tail-end or Clives personal assistant

Clive after a small off


Clive on Clives Hill after a spectacular off I was glad when Rob came down to see we were ok



Lenny




Chris making a splash





Pheasant steps







Clive the frogman dumps it in the deepest puddle









Quick strip down would see him back in action





Nice view though




Then Micks Honda wouldn't start Lenny to the rescue





Nearly got Rob upside down the look on his face was a picture as I went for the camera





Always a tricky section 2 victims at once





Day2

Started with Gazz joining us as Leader Rob and I would take turns tail ending well that worked for 500 yards

Possu forgot his safety glasses so we stopped in the village meanwhile Gazz took a wrong turn that meant we took the correct route and got in front of Gazz.We thought he was in front so we set a brisk pace to catch up.
We'll we never caught Gazz so Possu had a ride leader and tail ender all to himself bloody good fun we had to, 2 400 exc's and my 640 adv made for a quick pace just what the 3 of us needed.
Only got a couple of pics


Possu after catching the family jewels on the tank





No problems with water today










An old favourite caught me out a few times in the past but not today It was Possu's turn

Going



Gone

Thanks to everyone for making it a great weekend

Hey Forry, that group of your's....... are they 'special needs' trail riders? It looks like they were on some sort of liedownathon!

T.

Bloody hell Deegee
the same bike stolen very close by. It means that somebody is after LC8s in that area of Leeds. This is a problem.
I guess Leeds is not a big city and there are very few LC8 around. Where are this stolen bikes going? Is there any used spares market around, they going somewhere far to be sold as second hand or a just used by some bastard on the lanes?
I am desperate to find my old one.

You know soon or later these bastards will pass under my hand in orizontal position... You know what I mean...

Ciao
