Ace Cafe Meet - Sunday 26 July 2020

yup, twas me, sat in the sunshine with a cuppa for an hour, then took a gentle back road bimble home, stopped off at 5 guys in MK for a spot of afternoon tea then a royal hoon round the roundabouts of MK and home along the A5

 

bike washed off now and back in the garage, ice on the way to the Ace this morning on the back roads (B4525) a broken water main causing sheet ice on a bend (50p....rabbits nose....50p...rabbits nose moment) lots of mud splash and salt to wash off
And to top it all off, my Gerbing heated gloves blew the bloody fuse 2 miles into the journey so those useless heated grips it was then. I was going to be all smug with warm hands, alas twas not to be ordered a new pair of Santi dry suit heated under-gloves and socks when i got home so smug face again next week. They will work with the Gerbing controller i just have to make an adaptor to go from SubSea connector on the Santi system to the Gerbing one.
FYI Santi produce a fine selection of cold water diving kit so they will double up as bike and Diving heated kit, no more cold hands at 70mtrs underwater anymore (i think im getting old haha)

You still skydiving?

 

Thanks Pete for the info on the Mutley. I had the starter button in the wrong position and drained the battery overnight. Great to meet you. Sorry I missed the others who were there.

 

Nice bike Duncan @Duncs
Not red but we will let you off this time, lol

 

Rats, I forgot about this today and I was going to go, oh well another time.

 

Hi Nigel, due to shoulder injuries and subsequent surgery no. Do you jump?

 

Hi OoRanoO used to, Langar in the UK and Spain US and Dubai, jumped the palm a few times oh and Poland once but it pissed down, miss it sometimes, I’m still connected to a lot of Skydivers on Facebook

 

Likewise, Seville mostly but all over the UK. Got a bit pissed off with wasting weekends that's why I went to Spain 4 times a year but gets a bit pricey, given it all up now and building a bike instead

 

Here’s a few memories including a very wet packing tent in Poland

 

cant make this weekend unfortunately as im diving in Wales

 

Will try to get there mid-day ish.

 

Not been to the ACE for a couple of years, might be worth fighting the bank holiday traffic to go.

 

BH is weekend after.

 

So it is, wasn’t thinking. Hmmm.
