Because of the hills and valleys, the weather here changes so much.
But with the size of the RT's screen we should be ok if it rains :-D .

Its not the rain that i'm bothered about, its the temp. Its been colder this year.

There is a fuel station about half a mile from the bus station.
We have to pass it, so when we meet up let me know if we need to pull in there.
But if you want to get fuel first, its here.

Markus will not be attending, he hasn't got a motorcycle.

The weather forecast, https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2657815 will have to improve for Ashley & I to turn up.

I think your bike is the same age as mine David - Experience tells me that they're definitely waterproof - My wet week in Ireland proves it!!

Put your wets on and join in the fun.

Stop buying cheap 20 year old tyre models and get some modern rubbers for more fun.

David, after so much input from you and over the last 8 pages, it wouldn't be right not to attend.
Buy yourself an oxford rain suit as a treat and do like the rest of us and commit, make the most of the weather and put a face to the keyboard.

OK, I am not very happy with myself. :(
I've had a cold all week and thought i was getting better.
But i woke up this morning not feeling very good at all.
If i am no better by Sunday i am not goting to be able to come on Monday meet and ride.
I will keep you updated. I have Michaelc2710 number and will call him on Sunday.
I can't believe this as i've been looking forward to meeting some of you.
I know some are staying in Abergavenny on the sunday night.
So if there are others who are wanting to go please still do.
