Rocket Ron

Thanks for your message. Hope I am not signing checks my bike can't keep, however yes, if the pinch bolts problem is sorted - your see me there.

This is my bike (streetbob - yep) - I have 'learnt' to park just outside of the main car park at the Cricketers as tend to use the show as a stop off. Will look out for a darf vader with an empty fosters glass

still hoping to be at salisbury tommorrow

Hey "Bosun" I would not go to Salisbury,, Cos I think that one was a couple of weeks ago

I stand to be corrected,, but I think you will be the only one there..

[Rocket Ron]

Err Roy! I think we may have met before., having seen your bike. Do wear jeans,have an open face crash helmet and a black leather jacket. I thought so

I decided not to go to Eastleigh today, probably should of explained that I only came out of cast on Thursday from a broken ankle and although my ability to walk is rapidly improving (I tend to go at things like someone possessed) - didn't want to be hobbling around like a mental case (at least while sober)

So, hope you had a great time and will look out for any photos.

Think I'll keep in touch with your region if thats okay, although its a way away from where I live in Cirencester (so my home region is West Country who are a great bunch), been speaking to Rob - I grew up in Poole/Bournemouth and trained/got drunk a lot around Southampton and Eastleigh. Know the area, always into a ride out if you've anything on in future weekends.

Hopefully catch up with some of you in Denmark (not long!)

Cheers, Roy

Just got back from Eastleigh show,, First one I have been to so not sure how it compares,, But I thought is was very good,,

I would estimate two/three hundred bikes, Well full up,, and some real smart machines,, And a super hot day,,

Not sure exactly but approx 15/20 Foresters, might have been more..

I had to make a detour with "Buff" to his mates place right in the New Forest,(Beautifull spot) I had lost a top bolt from my front brake Caliper, which was left floating on the bottom one,, Thanks "Buff" and your mate for fixing that,
Could have been a nasty accident waiting to happen if the bottom one had come out as well,, which was only finger tight..
Got to go and have a go at the guy who serviced it a few weeks ago,, and put new pads on front and back,,done less than a hundred miles since then..

I have about 25/30 nice photo`s of various bikes,and views of the show, mainly Harleys, if anyone wants a set to put on here and keep let me know,, cos I have not cracked putting photo`s on since I messed up all my settings.

Hope you all got home ok,, I caught the tail end of a storm/rain at Bere Regis,, soaked but well worth it..

As Mo said it was a good day, lots of bikes and a good turn out from the Foresters. Did anyone see that Mohican for anyone who wasn't there it was Bully, sporting a new haircut. We will have to call him BULLY TWO RIVERS from now on I can still hear Old Ron now, first thing he said to me as he got off his bike was guess what. Yes thats it, No Son Of Mine I think Old Ron should get his done the same. They got the same bikes, so might as well have the same haircuts, we can call him, Old Bully One Rivers
