Post by: 2112 on August 10, 2013, 12:16:29
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  :thumb:

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

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  :thumb:

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  :neen:

You can get a 5 star bunk house  :sarc:

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....  :neen:

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  :shy:

Technically you're not really back as it's on order. I think that makes you an associate member, or something like that, till Sept. :-)

What ? You mean like the certificate I get from the NHS every year to say that I'm sane and allowed out by myself and am no real danger to the public ?  :crazy:
Title: Re: I'm back !!!
Post by: mr_diver on August 13, 2013, 08:06:30
If you have one of those certs... we may clash...   well we all have ones that say the opposite... its great these days... they let me have this laptop, internet, my ipod and all in this loverly padded room.
