I deleted my post with my embarrassing mixup and the replies. It just clogs up the thread unnecessarily.
You can have them back if you really want!

No, its OK, we don't want them back.

But, we also don't want silly excuses on Wed evening.

Yes!

Keep an eye on this thread to see who is going to be there.
I am sure a lot of the people have identified their bikes at some stage, so you will know what to look out for.

Too right!

I'll be donating blood that day so if I start to weave eratically and end up scraping off walls, dont be concerned; you know why:p

Also, what's the concensus on the long or short route? I'm just as happy to take the short one with a nice break by the runway, but Ill go with the majorette.

KamiKazi

Would prefer the longer route myself but I don't really mind. I'll be there as long as the weather is decent

Tree

Right now, I don't mind which route. Though if i'm shattered on Wed, the shorter one will then be preferable

Cocoon: i'm on a two y.o. blue cbf250

I hereby declare that link the most depressing page on the Internet.

P.C.

I tightened the chain on my bike today.

Then, when I got home, I cleaned it and lubed it.

So, now we have to go!

n.catenthusiast

Haha - lubed.

yea was bucketing down this morning, seems pretty decent now.

So we meet at the roundabout at dollymount at 7 and decide upon the long / short route from there? I just hope it's not pissing from the heavens.

P.C.

Well, if tomorrow evening is anything like this evening, we will be Grand!

See you all tomorrow.

Hey,

Here's the route we're taking:
google maps

DonkeyRhubarb

Cocoon / P.C. - That's the roundabout alright.

THeCityManager - Come along! and bring everyone! The more bikes there are the more crack will be had and in all fairness the more impressive it will look. I went on a toy run 2 xmas' ago and it really did look the biz all those bikes driving by.

Everyone else - Ill be there a bit before 7, so just look out for a Fazer S2 600 (Silver), that will be DonkeyRhubarb:)

Looking forward to it all!

KamiKazi

Well I'll be leaving work at 5, so I should be there around 6 I'd say. I'll probably grab a bite to eat or something.

Tree

waaaaaaaaaaa it's pissing down at the back of the airport

I'll be heading home before i head out, so dont expect me before 18:50

what's the story if it's pissing out later. Just home from work and got my 3rd good soaking in as many days. seems to have eased off a little now (typical) but still coming down.

I was going give the bike a wash and have it all shiny for it's boards debut but it can stay dirty now for the time being.

DonkeyRhubarb

Im in raheny and its been sunny all day. If youve got proper gear, you should be fine regardless.

KamiKazi

I'm leaving work at 5 and if its pissing out I'm heading home :pac:

Dirk Gently

Think I'll decide myself at around 5:30. I'll post up before I head off.
