Yeah, crying with laughter at Rob when sat in the Cafe of the man square in Brugge: “Do you think they filmed “In Brugge” here?” followed by the gay waiter hitting on me…still think that was a set up :w00t:
Joining the “Passa di Gavia in the rain” club, Getting laughed at by Pimlico and RR for putting stickers on my top box. Listening to Pimlico getting upset with a snoring roomie or complaining that an Ipswich shirt with a Lidl thermal wasn’t appropriate attire for a posh restaurant.
Too many Jets runs too mention, but that road we did in the Dales - riding on the edge for about 10 mins - knowing an error would mean goodbye - we’ve all done it - **** it was fun!
-late night ride down to brighton in the dark for tugs birthday - smiled and i were late and had to play catch up

Many great memories from the last four years on here…
Friday night rides from the Ace down to Frith Street, then on to Leicester Square, Chelsea Bridge and finally ending up at Blackheath Tea Hut until 5am!
Gluing £1 coins to the floor in Leicester Square then brutally taking the piss out of anybody who tried to pick them up! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9-UMOzksRM :w00t:
Riding on the Southend Shakedown in full blown blizzard conditions! :crazy:
Endless laughs with people who have become great friends over the years…
The crazy day trip to France in 2008, with Smiled overshooting one of the motorway exits because he was too busy doing triple figure past everyone! :w00t:
The list is endless, and I look forward to many more over the coming years!
It was wet, slippery unknown roads, im following Serri and see him ‘attempt’ that move. What a plonker im shouting in my lid knowing full well the road turns up ahead…missed those big rocks by cm’s, rolled through her hedge and had grass stuffed in ya bike.
I was crying with laughter in my helmet with Rixxy picking your bike up and checking it over.
Met everyone first at BM. Stood there like a niny not knowing anyone. Mel said she would look after me and introduce me. She jumped off her bike and disappeared. Cue lots of standing around trying to join in. Eventually AndyP started talking to me and i was doomed from then on.
Few months later, back at BM. Lou and Andrew arrived with Lucy (weeks old) and Mel grabbed her for a cuddle in the coffee shop. She gave me that look, to which Wasp jumped “are you two going to have a baby???” Little did they know we had talked about it a few days before and decided YES.
BoPeep rideout to Beachy Head. That was a great day. loved it. Some plonker corner marked a corner without even being asked, sending everyone on a boring straight line road (A21) towards Hastings. I was with 2 others 100yards up the road, we waited for AGES! Eventually caught everyone and got back to the ride. Got to Beachy on a busy bank holiday, pub was rammed. Everyone looking at me as to where we were going to eat etc…I had arranged our very own private function room for us all and out gear! Perfect.
Friday night ace, frith, clap tea hut and mad riding through red lights from Mel. (not advised by her!) Hooning to get to the ace straight from work. Did it in 45mins from Biggin Hill to Ace via M25 and a Police pull over
Don’t really feel I’ve been here long enough to contribute…but after a few months of psyching myself up to join a ride I misguidedly booked myself on Jaimes Dover camping tip last summer…10 people on board swiftly went to 4 and I promised myself I wouldn’t chicken out! My first proper ride out as a newbie with strangers and Jaime takes us down a load of gravel tracks at the bottom of the fields! :blink: my bum has never been so clenched!! :w00t: Schmidt and Jaime obsessively burning anything they could find (mainly the picnic benches) was hilarious!
Gave myself a good pat on the back for not bailing on that one and so glad I didn’t…brilliant bunch you lot!! :Wow:
I think one of the best things we’ve done on here was that trip up to the Lake District last summer… those were some unbelievable roads and scenery - I had never seen that side of the UK and it was an eye-opener as to how beautiful it can be. Again Jaime kept going on all weekend about how he was going to jump from Devil’s Bridge only to chicken out (at our request to a certain extent) at the last moment. Remember going back every day to our hotel shattered but happy and jumping in the sauna and pool before heading to the bar for beers.
Then Claire and Geoff deciding that their bikes were actually jet skis and riding in the sea, whilst I did a burn out in the sand only to find out moments later that my bike was now stuck in the sand! D’oH!!! :pinch:
Gret day out mate! It was a comedy of errors from start to finish though. Smiled’s number plate snapping off (leading to some very funny moments involving Gatso’s and two fingers being stuck up at speed!), thn my puncture and Stacey nearly highsiding it on a roundabout!
