May 7-8: Bike Normandy
May 21-22: Friends' 10th wedding anniversary
May 28-29: Furry convention

So the 14-15 should be free, also all of April AFAIK.

Unfortunately the 8th of May is really popular for the majority.

Skok Rules
1 You have to ride with us.

2 We have to like you.

3 They who ask for a sticker don't receive one.

4 You honestly believe that David Caruso's acting goes beyond genius.

5 Washing machines live longer with Calgon.

Oh well here goes.....

Skok Rules

1 You have to ride with us.


1 out of 1 - Skegness..... tick.

2 We have to like you.

Well if you have a liking for scooter riding, ex hairdressing old Trots then i'm your man.

3 They who ask for a sticker don't receive one.

Failed

4 You honestly believe that David Caruso's acting goes beyond genius.

More of a David Carradine man myself..... 'ahh grasshopper'.

5 Washing machines live longer with Calgon.

Still using our old twin tub in this part of Norfolk, so i'd have to agree.

Well 4 out of 5..... now GTSRad said something about my middle leg .....

All items will be returned after specialist cleaning has been under taken..... lots of Jizer, caustic soda and a Karcher, then a rub down with the 'Sporting Life'.

We're thinking lets do the museum then ride into Norwich itself for lunch. There's a great bike park at the market place and the pub I'm thinking of has an excellent reputation for food. Plus you'll be on the right side of town to head home on the A11
