Qick question Dick. Did you say you were going to ring the campe site closer to the time, or should we make the call and arrange individually?

Don't think it was necessary Mike just roll up and pitch up (I think)

@dick65 wrote:

right a decision has been made and this is the campsite where we'll be staying,you dont book just turn up so ill ring again nearer the time,the owner says theres no problem about accomodating us its near the small village of glenridding beside ullswater,(pooley bridge was a nightmare) theres hard standing for bikes if there full, showers take 20p coins,they sell breakfast in the morning and its about £9 a night and the pubs 200 yards away

[stantheman 0]

id better bring me wellies then

[stantheman 0]

right guys im going to ride me bandit to the lakes cos its more suited to the job than me busa plus it hasnt had a decent run out in ages and i know the bike well so it wont let me down ;i know everyone will be saying the busa will be better for the trip but it hasnt got a top box ;there ive said it plus has anyone noticed how thirsty them busas are plus i still love me bandit the busa was more of an investment if the truth be known try leaving £3.000 in the bank for 10 years and then see what a gen 1 hayabusa made in the first week of production is worth in 10 years its a no brainer look at kawasaki 900s honda cbxs etc theyre worth a fortune also sold me z1r for £1000 IN 1983 IT WOULD OF FETCHED A FORTUNE IF ID KEPT IT oh well never mind
