GTR Owners Meet Littledean, Gloucestshire 2014

[Rossendale Rider]

Why am I reminded of that ditty by Max Miller?


I like the girls who do,
I like the girls who don't:
I like the girls who say they will,
And then decide they won't.
But the girls I like the most of all,
And I know you'll think I'm right,
Are the girls that say they never will,
But look as though they might!

Thought that was Racey c.79.

Anyway northern elements, are we able to fix an RV for sometime after lunch on Friday? Knutsford services or similar?

I'm sorry to say I am going to have to bail on this weekends meet at The Belfry. Have just had seven fantastic days away with the GTR and wife on her first real trip away on the bike and it has been great. Only snag is the ferry from Santander is currently still sat alongside with one main engine very poorly. Looks like it will be 24 hours before we arrive in Portsmouth. Which means one day at home before  venturing back east to the Forest of Dean. I have let the Belfry know that we will not be attending.

Have a great weekend Guys and Gals.

THE M48 Severn Crossing will be closed this weekend to allow essential resurfacing work to take place.

The westbound carriageway will be closed between 10am on Saturday, June 14 and 6pm on Sunday, June 15 while the work is completed.

Chris Pope, Highways Agency project sponsor, said:

"The Severn Bridge is a vital transport link between England and Wales, and this work will help keep it operating safely for many years to come, as well as providing a smoother surface for road users.

"We have planned the work carefully to cause the least possible disruption and will also be taking the opportunity during the closures to carry out other work such as inspection and maintenance work to barriers and lighting, grass cutting on the verges and painting posts to reduce the need for traffic management in the future.

"Road users are advised to plan ahead and allow slightly longer for their journeys."

While the bridge is closed the following signed diversions will be in place:

• Road users travelling westbound to Chepstow should use the M4 Second Severn Crossing, exit at J23a (Magor), then follow the M4 eastbound, then follow the M48 to Chepstow.

Maybe have a little 20 mile ride round the Forrest of Dean on Friday evening? I was up this way yesterday, hope the diversions have gone :-( watch out for sheep.
