Joeman Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Maybe next year then joeman.... looking forward to seeing some of the video footage you got..... I was going through the footage last night - there were Thousands of bikes there!!I had to be home for 3pm as i have familiy staying and we'd booked a table for dinner at 4pm... so i got home just after 3pm, lubed the chain and put the bike to bed. Then they decided 4pm was too early to eat, and moved the table booking to 6pm!!! So i could have stayed out another two hours.... I was pretty annoyed... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
