Leaving Hop Oast by 11.30 a.m. latest .... this is because the bikes are being given a valedictory escorted parade around Horsham Town Centre (see earlier posts) before we park up around Shelley Fountain. P&H, Helmet City, DOCGB and MAG stands will be around our parking area - plus the free kit and helmet storage.
Good to know you are coming along..... see you at Pietro's ... it has to get warmer - no ifs-or-buts !!!!
looks like we could see a doubling of temperatures from 2 to 4 degrees I will be wearing several layers !
I also have a heated vest on order....................... hopefully it will arrive here before Friday fingers crossed.
It'll be fine, a little chilly and the run down the A272 will be nice if its dry, might have to have a coffee stop on the way, I'll bring a flask
I was out that way on Sunday and I had to pull over to warm up the tips of me fingers! Coffee at Loomies did the trick. I have some thermal inner gloves for Friday now!
Step 1 for preparing for Horsham Piazza complete. Just got the bucket, sponge and jet wash out, wow underneath all that salt and grime was a Ducati. Time for some polishing now, but the missus is being unreasonable and won't let me bring it into the living room, its blooming cold out there!
If the boys are still going I probably will, but likely on the thumper; no way I want salt all over my pride and joy!
If it stay's at this temp I'm gonna ride direct to Hop Oast at Horsham, but would be happy to meet anyone around 10ish at Boxhill for the ride to Horsham! It might have warmed up by then! I'll have all my documentation on me for the organisers this will enable me to get my sticker to allow me to join in the parade and also allow me to park in the town centre. If anybody wants to do this! Please PM me and also let the organisers know as they will need to be aware so they can have a stickers for you at Hop Oast. Cheers PhilB
Sadly still too many unknown variables... I'll be at the Piazza, just not sure if I'll make Motori di Marino's, Hop Oast or straight into town. :frown:
Last all for pre-registration (2 and a half hours to go!) ....please remember that if you want to join at Hop Oast to have your paperwork with you, so that you can be issued with the sticker that allows you to be part of the main display in town :smile:
