Yes, I'm back in the fold after three years in the 'wilderness' ! I'm taking delivery of my new metallic blue Glee on Monday the 2nd of September.

It feels good to be back

After three years in solitary, Mr 2112 was allowed to mix with the other inmates again.

Does this now mean he's welcome at the west Wales meet as his will be 'on order'?

I had the option of a comfy, practical bike that ticked all the boxes for my riding and more suited to my commute, but I couldn't part with the wee.
Glad I had both to run about on for a while, but the wee was the bike I wanted to ride, had to be bothered to ride the other.
Hope this means you can want to ride more often with a lighter bike mate.

It's always nice when a traiter sees the light. :-D

I do hope this is the case and the whole point of a change. I've only done about 350 miles this year and over half of them were on one run out ! I think the more manageable Glee will see me back to 'just nipping out on the bike' and returning home 6 hours later

Don't think I'm staying in a tent up there either, my South African blood isn't thick enough for that. We'll have some good bunkhouses or something. Still no excuse then

2112 · « **Reply #14 on:** August 10, 2013, 18:16:34 »

You can get a 5 star bunk house

Juvecu · « **Reply #15 on:** August 10, 2013, 20:34:57 »

I'm sure I can find some stars that I can stick to the door

Are you trying to avoid us?

Locky · « **Reply #16 on:** August 10, 2013, 20:54:38 »

2112 you sound like my Mrs

and I thought you were a propper northerner

mr_diver · « **Reply #17 on:** August 10, 2013, 21:59:56 »

Did he say he was going to pay for said accommodation? No = northerner

But these blokes fart burp and turn the lights on in the early morning.

2112 · « **Reply #18 on:** August 11, 2013, 08:42:51 »

Look, I can burp and fart with the best of them, I've got a really dodgy back so I NEED the comfort and grandeur of a 5* hotel for medical reasons....

I think when **Spits** VRSI went to Rogart, some of them stayed in local Bed and Breakfast's, they were fairly lavish in the rural, north of Scotland, arse end of know where kind of way.
Most stayed in the 'bunk carriages' and some camped... I lost interest in **Spits** VSRI just before Rogart as it was 99% American gibberish and figuring what was of British interest became a chore, and I don't remember any more detail. from what I remember of the pics thread they all enjoyed. But damn are the **spits** VSRI lot ugly compared to us
