    Ok: meet at 1066 at 12.30?
    No hurry to do the run exactly from 11. I may go for a ride anyway in the morning and then meet you all there so we can start it together.

    Did the run except for Catsfield, not as many bikes as I seem to remember from years gone by. And there was an accident on the Udimore Road, Kwaka and post office van I think. Hope the rider has recovered, he did not look too good. Before anyone asks, no, didn't stop, there were enough riders there and all was in hand.

    Cheers all....an eventful ride as you say Tom! and although we didnt get to the last 2 stops the hand I was forming wasn't going to win any prizes anyway. Here's a pic of Adam getting a lift to Eastbourne General, that thankfully shows he survived the spill :thumbsup: far better than his leathers or regrettably his bike faired :(....hope you are all sorted and not too bashed about Adam.

    Got so so lost... i dont even know how to describe my day, started late and got really lost :bike: somewhere going towards berwick? and ended up in jevington :cry2:but i made Rye, A21, berwick (after a good amount of time spent looking for it) and then becuase there was an extra hour to finish at catsfield as it was at the "place? end/beginig?" :confused: and thats it i think, also i got a burger at catsfield... the grease was black, so i think they found a bike leaking oil and used that instead :eat: tasted all the same though overall pretty good day!:10:

    Edit- also going through to berwick there was a peice of road (i know my descriptions are great either the A27 or A271) there was about 9 motorbikes all pulled over by police hope it was no one from the forum! luckily there was people waving to slow down but still not nice to see.

    Yes defo quite eventful... i was on for a flush, only needed 2 more hearts (:...........
    I did get to have fun riding and driving others machines as we worked out how to get the bike collected, loaded then taken to the DGH then Hastings. First i was pillion with Tom to drop my bike home (that poor R6 :giggle:). Then i got to drive Adams van with his wrecked kwaka in the back and a very shaken Mandy (Adams girlfriend) to Eastboune dgh where Adam had just been taken by paramedic. Then to get home, i got to ride Leila's R6 with Leila as pillion, all good riding/driving fun.

    Adam was laughing about it all when we left the hospital, but that could have had something to do with the morphine that was just kicking in :confused:.... Hope you recover quickly :thumbsup:

    Hope for a speedy recovery :)

    Might be a stupid question but how come the rear wheel locked up?

    Wouldnt like to speculate at this point jack as the cynic in me would like to see the final details all sorted in the riders favour first. :thumbsup:
