Ducati Forum 2nd Annual Bbq 2016

Well I'm going, be driving and might have something on first in my van so could be 4-30 onwards I get there,staying couple of hours,I'll be walking like a drunk but I won't be drunk

I'll need address Jen by pm I guess I'll be in touch before Friday or just send me it ta...if you don't I'll have to drive round spondon til I find ye ...I. Do stagger it's not pretty

 

I have to say that since my stroke my outlook has changed a bit, I would never normally have gone to a BBQ miles away with people I do not know,I would always make an excuse and probably do nothing at home...or go off on my own somewhere, I now realise more than ever that this is not a dress rehearsal this is it....sometimes we or me have to put a bit of effort in and probably be really really grateful afterwards

Even walking out in leeds city centre I feel grateful for the chance cos I never knew if I would again I just did not know what the future held...two nurses walking me to bathroom a few weeks ago,could hardly speak,struggled brushing my teeth,had a wheelchair (my lifeline),seriously if like I would have done a while ago you are going to be doing pretty well nothing on Saturday on your own possibly...just don't, jump in your car or on your bike, and meet like minded people at the BBQ it will be fun, meet new friends,doors will open as a result but you gotta just make the effort...if I can you can

 

Is it ok to bring my mate Ella with me who rides a s1000 we will only be staying a few hours cos we both need to be back home around six?

 

Address please

 

A lad I know from infants has the same mind set as yours, he's not long come out of hospital from multiple brain tumors hes always laughing n joking and staying positive... As for attending, like you know I don't know anyone i'll probably keep to myself after the first introduction, a reason to go its just some where different to go... But have a 12 hr shift before that

 

Fair play to him, don't keep yourself to yourself talk to people..you will have common ground and you will feel better for yapping, we all have that thing in common (bikes)I'm so much a loner type but you know what this illness has made me think differently, maybe siege mentality, plenty time to keep ourselves to ourselves and I will whenever, but this is a great chance to mingle, me and you will leave with something beneficial gauranteed, I'm 49 not oldy worldly wise,not the brightest,not achieved a lot, and had a poxy stroke of all things...but life is what we make it...you will sleep well after be good to meet ye

 

I could give you CD of them? They be crap live

 

I'm going to see them and a spoof rock band........COLD TAP

 

good on yer lad ,,, least you can still drive, which i know for many of us an enjoyment..

 

Had a driving assesment last week so yes mega news...gets me to the BBQ ha ha..cheers fella

 

I don't know anyone either but that's perhaps no bad thing.. Do we get name badges?

 

Someone will have to write mine if we do..you'll not read it otherwise
