Well ill be coming from basildon, but i have no idea on the time im supposed to arrive, i imagine its early morning like last time.... but fancy putting a post up asking for help at the stand without giving all the details!!:laugh1

Thats what happens when you leave a woman in charge...:grin1

**Rides off to a safe distance**:grin3

(Just kidding lol):laugh1

[CBR-Dave]

this sucks, not only am i missing out on the dyno day, i miss helping out on the stand too!!! grr :shooter

sorrry i cant be of any use.

[Jetski]

Those that have given apologies - no worries at all - thanks for the offer of helping if you HAD been around :D lol It is appreciated :)

Ok - now I'm not actually going to be much use with the timings however I can confirm that HG opens at 10am that day. SO i'm guessing arriving before then would be good :D

I will find out and let you know asap.

2E - absolutely spot on :D

[becky]

All i no is the day starts at 10. Dont no what time to be there to set up.

[DJMCJERICO]

Whats involved with helping on the stand and What is the stand about Edd Zacary?

A rough guestimate on starting and finnishing times?

[Jetski]

2E - how to make (wimmin) friends and influence (wimmin) people lol.

DJ - all that requires is a bit of a crowd - we'll have various bumph - some stickers, cards, perhaps a bit of merch depending on if shane has any.

Just be there really and chat to people that might be interested :) Please wear a shirt though :grin2

[ben@gerickes]

I'll be at the shop from 7am, we are opening to the public for "browsing" from 9am so you can get there anytime

Ill tag along with you and 2E if you like. Let me know of times and places and il be there. If my bro passes his test again 2moz ,hes going to meet us there as well.
As far as helping out with the E.B. stand , I dont think il be much help other than to get the teas and bacon sarnys in. Im going to need my T.shirt though. I suspect the captain is still designing mine.

[superstacker]

My other brother has been briefed on the safe operation on the Leaf Blower 3000...

[MSmilleR]

[Jetski]

LOL

[RaceMeNSee]

[rightchoiceinsurance]

I got burnt then got home and went for a run and got burnt some more!!!!!

[rovens]

I was only wearing specs cos they messed up my bloody contact lense delivery. No i didnt go down, when they told the guy on the 1400 his bike was sinking they neglected to tell me mine was about 6inches in.

lol

[RaceMeNSee]

where are the pics that were being taken eh?

[2E]

Was a good day, was great watching the Dyno, especially when Beckys bike refused to sit right or get into gear...:grin2

Anyone here get caught on either the A130 or by the gatso van strategically placed (by accident naturally;)) in the bushes round the corner from Hein Gericke?:)

[RaceMeNSee]

What?????? What Time Was That There?????

[2E]

What?????? What Time Was That There?????

lol looks like we'll both be waiting for the speeding fines then!!:D

No, the A130 camera was there about 8ish, i remember as I thought 'why are they checking road levels there?' before clicking to what it was (sneaky devices) the second camera was there about 9ish i suppose but dont know how long for.. :shooter

Dawihi was very non-discreetly waving his hands about in front of me to slow down, i wondered what he was doing before i spotted the sandwich van hiding in the hedge. Not sure what speed i shot by at.. though i think i was doing 65 tops..:grin3

[RaceMeNSee]

hummm...i got there closer to about 12ish..........doing at least double what you were doing (in my head, in reality i was Bang on 70 of course...and i would never condone speeding!) lol..............dont remember seeing anyone...or thing!? fingers crossed eh?!

[MSmilleR]

hummm...i got there closer to about 12ish..........doing at least double what you were doing (in my head, in reality i was Bang on 70 of course...and i would never condone speeding!) lol..............dont remember seeing anyone...or thing!? fingers crossed eh?!

[RaceMeNSee]

Yeah mine was running a BIT rich to! well.....after 4k it was rich all the way along....i think a bit of playage with the power commander is needed! lol Gutted i missed your bike on the Dyno! Was it velly loud?
