Reefer/Dave

If the weather is shite, I won't be taking the bike either as I'm well fooked off with cleaning, etc, so cages it will be However, we should meet somewhere convenient for the 3 of us 'cos there's no point taking 3 cages down to Bagshot if we're coming from London. I'll pick up Dave T and meet Simon somewhere en route. I'll call to make arrangements.

Simon ~ apologies 'bout Saturday night but gotta stick with my family commitment

 

[reefer]

ill bring em along to the meet if you wanna have a gander
all i gotta do now is figure what beep is what? between the radar detector, geodesy system, pmr446, gps system, phone..or is it the pillion falling off

No news from Samster yet.

If he can't make Saturday, then there's little point meeting in Bagshot, so I'll keep you all posted. You might be able to get a few more zzzzzzzzzzzz's yet Simon:}

 

[davet]

reefer
the beep is your pillon falling off!!
you have a radar detector?thinking of getting one can you give info?
Davet:beer:

 

[reefer]

hi dave
yup got a geodesy, but aint fitted it to the bike yet cos its too bloody cold!
saved me bacon once already last saturday!
was potting up the M1 in the "cage" to pick up some bike trousers in bedford and the thing started going off...no cameras or makings on the road etc
i looked up and about 10 miles north of the old scratchwood services(northbound) there are 4 digital cameras up in the metalwork with those number plate spotting devices next to them..normally when you approach a cam it warns you then once your past it it goes green..well this stayed red about 3/4 of a mile past them then i noticed another set of cams on metalwork again, after these ones it went green
so..dont look for marks on the road cos they aint always there!
they must be timing you between the 2 sets of cams for the 3/4 mile speed and getting drivers that way
im still waiting for the radar to arrive as they are sold out at the mo
again if you aint seen em ill bring mine along

cheers
:beer:
