[Porkscratchin]

Von,

Be VERY careful there.

we had to change our sheepfest run this year to Dorset as the local plod have informed us that they are cracking down extra heavy this season..

zero tolerance etc and extra speedtraps,patrols all aimed at Motorcycles.

basically said bikes were not welcome in Wales.

we took the advice seriously...plod to plod.

so, have fun...but safely and legally if i were you.:eek:

[Bikerchickett]

Thanks Del, mind you if they go at legal speeds, i may stand a chance of keeping up !!!

[von41]

get your name down Max & Fox..

Yes thanks Del... i would be VERY stupid indeed if i ignored your warning ..

but for me and one or two others it will be a bimble pace won't it Mandy !

[RonnI]

what ever date if i'm not working I'm in.

Missed the race today because of the sodding job. not a happy chap!!!:mad:

http://www.ponderosacafe.co.uk/

[Bikerchickett]

I suppose people from different parts can meet in different places :)

Von, if you work out where to meet you and when, i'll stick something on Noddingdogs too :)

Us lot from near here could meet at Quatt as Mike says, maybe another meet at Shrewsbury services, then the Ponderosa... and anywhere else for people coming from other places... any suggestions ?

[mikey]

yeah thats a good idea mand .

[von41]

good points folks...

well for me it would be meet at the ponda as I'll be coming solo from this way

all i need is a time you won't to hook up at the ponda and I'll be there :)

[Bikerchickett]

Let us know what time you want us there Von, dunno how long rest of ride will take

[mikey]

[Bikerchickett]

Depends if we have to pick anyone up at Shrewsbury I suppose

[von41]

would 10am meet at the ponda be ok ?

[Bikerchickett]

Blimey... if thats good for you....

I'll need to leave home about 8 I think and miss out on the Shrewsbury bit !!!

[von41]

would 11am be better.. your not that far from the ponda.. it's only 20 minutes

from wrexham... it's only 1.40 minutes from here... and that's steady ish.. ;)

[Bikerchickett]

11 would be better fo me ... what does everyone else think ?

[Bikerchickett]

is that what you need ?

[Bikerchickett]

Perfect Von... Thank you :D

[S1OPP]

Severely pissed off.

After re-arranging my o/t for last weekend, I should have been free for this rideout - now, because the engineer fucked up, I'm working again next weekend and won't be able to do the rideout.

Not happy at all.

[Bikerchickett]

I'd rearrange him instead Sloppy !!!!

[von41]

Ho Bugger !!

s1opp that's a bummer :(

[Bikerchickett]

*Keeps looking at weather forecast and hoping it will change*

[parapanfan]

Sadly, due to impending poverty I have had to accept the opportunity to work on the 19th and so I will be unable to join y'all.

Enjoy and don't forget "LOOK TO THE SKIES!" Brunstrom's budgie might be on the prowl.

[Bikerchickett]

Thanks Para... Shame you can't make it.

And we will go steady... well the others will have to or i wont keep up !!

[paulzxr]

how the devil are you old chap?? hoping to get to the ride out this sunday, Depends on funds :mad:
BT still not playing the game with my phone line so i'm having to join the peasants in the library :no:
Hope to see you all sunday !!!

[von41]

work has put the kibosh on my planned run for Sunday :(

i now have to go in to work... some production cock up !!

the product won't be made till Saturday noon...


i do feel i have let some of you down and i do apologise.. but i can't get out of not going to work as I'm the only HGV driver left at work.

[Bikerchickett]

Looks at weather forecast and sobs :(

Can't we swap mondays weather for sunday ?

[Bikerchickett]

Von, the weather sounds a bit iffy at the moment anyway, so maybe it is best if we postpone it until September sometime.


Shame that you have to work though :(

[von41]

September... good idea Mand..:) after Rd 3..

16,23,30th we prolly gunner have a late summer any way

may be s1opp can pick a date that will suit a few more that can't make this one ?

[Bikerchickett]

I can do 23 rd and 30th and all of october looks ok at the moment :)

[von41]

I can do 23 rd and 30th and all of october looks ok at the moment :)

sweet.. have sent paulzxr a text and let him know that i can't make it this Sunday... his reply is "can we make a later date run"

if we are all in agreement... then that's what we shall do set another date around 23rd & 30th sept :)

[Bikerchickett]

fine by me, see when the others can make it too :)

[vulcanrog]

I'll keep an eye on developments re a run in Sept, We aren't able to make the 19th anyway due to the dragon having to work on the 18th (night shift) We do have to make a duty visit to Wales soon so Sept for us may be ideal. also having pooter problems ! My stepson has been at it, He fitted a 2nd CD/DVD drive & it crashed 2 nights ago, I've got it running again but the bit he put in is dead may be a good thing !

[von41]

OK mate... re your PC prob... you could try and down load the drivers for your computer again.. from "Microsoft".. free!!

it is possible you have some missing.. and that would make applications & CD/DVD roms to fail to work..

[vulcanrog]

aye done that & a multitude of other fixes via aol & microsoft, Pooter's working now cept for the 2nd CD/DVD drive that the lad fitted, It's summat mechanical with its gubbins I think, The tray's jammed I got it open with brute force earlier but it's still nadgered, The light's on permanently now as is the orange flashy indicator thingy ! You can tell I'm pooter friendly can't you ?

[von41]

Ho ! right... then look at the back of the DVD rom... there is a jumper..

it may be on the left hand side it looks like 4 prongs with a small collar on..

you cover the prongs with the collar.. and it only covers 2 of the prongs..

for the "primary" CD/DVD rom (that's the main rom) you should cover the the 2 pins on the right hand side with the small collar..

for the "secondary" CD/DVD rom (that's the one you have just put in ) you should move the collar to the middle 2 pins..

use a small pointy pair of pliers to move the collar...:)

[vulcanrog]

It's fixed ! dunno how I did it but CD/DVD drive No 2 now works & the flashy orange n green lights aren't permanently glowing anymore. Not touching it again LOL !

Any date for the Wales run in mind von ?

[von41]

we are looking at the 23rd or 30th sept at the mo..
