Jack in Towcester, Sunday Aug 3rd? Archie emigrating...

Postby Paul » Fri Aug 01, 2014 1:54 pm

Folks, anyone up of a breakfast run to Jacks in Towcester this Sunday? The artist known as Archie is emigrating in a few weeks time, so a chance to have a final bacon based light refreshment in his company before he leaves for cooler climes...

Suggested meeting point for any southerners wanting to join the ride is the Beaconsfield services, just off junction 2 of the M40 at around 9:00am. We would then head up the A355 and A413 via Amersham, Aylesbury and Buckingham to Jacks for about 10:30.

Any takers?

Cheers,

You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

Hi Phil

Yes that's me, now ex GS and ex GSXR. Thanks for making me feel wanted :oops:

We're just moving to Scotland, but I will still be at North Wales next year, it will just take me longer to get there. I maybe up for Hawes in September this year as well.

You're both welcome to come and stay en-route anywhere, as is anyone else from here, as we'll have spare space.

Since getting a KTM I'd like to say that it is almost certain that the guy on the Superduke a couple of years back was just a normal regular person before he sat on it.

It was great to see everyone today, and I look forward to seeing you all soon.

Cheers

Sorry couldn't make yesterday folks, was over in darkest Shropshire photographing a friend's wedding. Looks like you had a great morning - sorry to have missed you, especially Archie and of course Chris & June too.

See (some of) you in N Yorks next month. :)
