Herts, Beds & Bucks Ducatisti meet part II - Sat 16th August: 16 Aug 08

[magpie]

shame, right on my doorstep this one, but no-can-do on saturday.

avoid the A507 if you can, there's an organised rideout down that way, see here:

A507 Ride Out - Events - Motorcycling Matters

likewise, as keef mentioned, b660 was crawling with police last week, so watch yourself, they are slippery if you run over them.

magpie.

I'm tracking a really nasty weather front moving into the south east on Saturday morning I'm hoping this will arrive late but it's not looking good. I'm going to keep my eye on this and post again on Friday night. If it's going to be 'tipping it' down all day it may be best to reschedule.

When you look at metcheck.com (they are mostly correct) it does not look that bad .... yet. If needed we will reschedule but for now.

It will not rain

Weather looks to be improving

Assuming the weather warning is not right I will be at the Hatfield meeting point from before 10:00, with my ST2.
Approx 50 miles across country so I will probably get there a bit early and have a cuppa while waiting!

If its Peeing down I will probably stay in bed!!!

Rather you than me Luca, trying to keep to those 30MPH limits on a Duke thats as lumpy as hell at 30, on an early sunday morning would be the death of my license, to many damn camera's

Are we still a go?

[michel couque]

weather on tele just said tomorrow for us softie southerners will be 22c and no rain.at bloody last!now that babysitter,must sort it.

[Lucazade 749s]

Great!!

A request for little help. Could anyone bring a 36mm spanner? I need to tension the new chain, went to couple of local Halfords none of them have a 36mm (I hope 36mm) spanners or sockets. They had 34mm which was too small and 38 which was too big. I will bring rest that is needed.
Preferably a person that goes to first meet point so we could do it before fun.

Thx

[michel couque]

luca,a 36mm,i think you should try a truckers stop for that size.
