I don't know if something is wrong, but it took forever to upload the photos to the gallery . Being a gallery novice I didn't even know they had gone to the wrong place until now I thought that the gallery function lacked a bit of fizz
Just checked the gallery and I seem to be able to get at some of the photos , although I don't know if the presentation is normal as I haven't been here before. Managed to get at least Amarko5 (x1) and Al58 (x9)
Just wish I could have kept up with him.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
How long you had the bike mark ? give it a little time your speed will soon increase
and don't forget i have fantastic roads to practice on
for all the thanks, but without you guys (and galls) the weekend would have been rubbish good company, good crack, and some great weather , not to forget of course the cameraderie on the rides
and the main thing is no injuries at all well apart from Buzz's back ache , mr's G's ankle and all the damn midge bites
and not forgetting the assault laid on emmett's taste buds
