I've been to the Horseshoe Pass a couple of times and to Bala once... although we got a bit lost on the way to Bala from the pass and ended up green laning !!!

What kind of dates were you thinking?

to be honest I'll be hard pushed to find a spare weekend before round1 of the C90 races.

Give me a range of dates and I'll stick up a poll.

as it happens i sent Brunstrom a e-mail last year! ...in a reply to his blog... and more or less told him he's a bigot.. etc.

i could send him another one and let him know of my intent... may save a few quid on the chopper!! :)

parapanfan
29-04-2007, 18:14
pmsl!

I'm sure he'd be impressed;

" Please Mr Brunstrom, my chums and I will be riding our fuck-off powerful bikes around your pretty country lanes but we won't be going fast, honest, 'cos I'm waiting to see if I get banned for speeding - so there's no need to get your chopper out and chase us.

Luv Von"

He'll be stuck to you like shit to a blanket :D :D :D

von41
29-04-2007, 19:57
Ha! Ha! Ha!...yes that could be a cunning plan see...

while the chopper squad is busy following me.. (behaving me self un stuff)

*looking all innocent*...

the rest can go have some fun scratching...:)
