GTR Owners Meet Lower Lode Inn Shropshire 2012

I showed the pics to my wife and she just said "sad" 

You mean you showed her the pic of your "never washed" bike and she said "sad" !!

Some women just don't understand the fascination with bikes. But then again, I don't understand the fascination women have with clothes.

Shame about that Deb. You missed a good trip. We could have riden up together if you had wanted to come just for the Saturday. I met up with the Wiltshire Gang at Cirencester for breakfast and then we rode up together. It must have looked a fine sight as 6 GTR's line astern. 

Ps love the signature.

Assuming I get my finger out, there will be a newsletter  with all this in and frequent reminders of upcoming events

Dave, it didn't come out as well as I would have liked. It looked a bit cluttered. As Asif mentioned we should have had one of all the owners on their own separate from the bikes.
Dave, I've spent a bit of time on it and photoshopped it a tad to try to improve it.  This is the end result.




Oh and Dave, as for the person that Asif thought was a stunner......you could tell HE wasn't interested in Asif from the outset, dont you think? 

that's me..! I'm the eight from the left. the smaller but much thinner and better looking one, with the shiny forehead I think the photo turned out ok, well done Cath by the way steve.. I did noticed the stunner of the female kind on our way home at "Lower Slaughter" Ho" but I never drool over something I can't have but we must give asif the benefit of the doubt and assume where talking about the same person

Please excuse me for my "late" update here .... I have just spent about 45 minutes doing the pics etc and for some thick fingered idiot moment, and I have no idea how, I have deleted or lost the "New Post" ..
I shall be back later .. just need to step away from the screen before I Taser it !!!!!!!!

Hi Steve - great write up and lovely pics.

Thanks for being considerate and not loading the pics of the damage to my bike.

Actually I dont mind if you want to. Although the 'incident' really spoiled the weekend for me - it WAS my own fault, as you know I was (and still am) bloody angry with myself for such a shocking mistake!!

Had a busy day today trying get some quotes for the bits and bobs needed to get her ship shape.

I am undecided about going thru insurance - my excess is £400 and I do have NCP BUT....... (although it will obviously be a lot of money....) I kinda think it may be slighlty less painful (if albeit more dosh) to just get it repaired.

Thinking back to what actually happened ... -funny, even tho it was only walking pace - it did seem to happen very quickly. I think I must have panicked as the wheel started to go - maybe grabbed the front brake??
While I was on the phone to the insurance and break down people - I did have plenty of time to look at the junction.
Blind bend to the right, a dip in the road on the left, so visibility was poor - as pretty much everyone said, IF I had tried to ride through it, and regained grip, and IF soemthing had been coming - then I could have been in deep doo doo!!   

But - am still looking forward to our trip to the lake district with four mates from our club. Yes I am sure you will NOT believe I AM a member of the IAM and Herts and beds Advanced Motorcyclists!!! And cant wait to do another meet with you guys soemtime.

Hi Kevin , as stated by many at the time, it was really bad luck. Glad you got home OK and hope foot is feeling better.

[Rusty]

+1 ... everyone here is pleased there are no lasting injuries and you got home safely.

Remind me what was damaged and I'll price it up. Some of it might be on ebay
