The Honda Owners Club

Hi All,

I do hope you all got back safely, felt rather guilty, as Chris and Jenny past me on the turning off to Guildford on the A3 last night but hopefully gave him a high speed trip up from Portsmouth to aid his long journey home, even on his mighty 'Triumph'

All I can say what a fantastic group the 'Three Shires' you all are , you made me all very welcome , thank you, especially John and Paul for the organisation and the front and rear end support for the runs and for a great holiday that was all to short.

I hope that I will be invited to join you next year for your trip either to Ireland or Scotland.

All the best Masher/Gavin

Hey Gavin, We were waiting for you to stretch the 'Bird' so I could fire up the mighty 'T'..we did get some miles in in short time though and I wont admit to the speeds I hit on the M1 (think Jenny needed a change of underwear!) it was a good run anyway!..see you at the National matey! (er I hope!)

An excellent trip all round with great company, great weather and long empty Normandy roads! A really big thanks to John for leading the rides and Paul as tail end charlie and for them both for organising such a perfect trip.
Everyone was so friendly and helpful on the rides, with many a miles of empty French roads explored, then later some very good banter with some falling down juice all round! I feel very lucky to meet such a fine group of new friends. Hope you all got back swiftly and safely! Some pics should be available soon!!
Look forward to seeing many of you at the National in Weymouth in September.

Thanks all again

Neil

Cheeky so and so!! No change of undies needed pal - I spent the entire ride home (when I wasn't nodding off) - just waiting for you to reach those speeds previously promised but, (as is so often the case with you men ), and despite 'the roar of the Mighty Triumph', it was an empty promise! Perhaps next time eh

They are excellent Neil!!

I DO remember trying to fix that broken chair... and as for the diet lager...... they weren't all mine..... were they??

Paul - what brilliant photos... can't wait for the write up!

How do I put the videos on here? (Can't work it out in photobucket thingy.....)

hi you lot, yes, wasn't it a great trip, thanks to john and paul for all your effort, and thanks to all who took part.

we got home safe on weds evening, not too wet, but lots of mud on the bike from road works just off 29a

glad the rest of you got back ok, but no doubt the mighty triumph will need a rest after all the excitement unlike the old tractor, maybe slow but always gets there in the end

hope to see you all soon

That say's it all, the problem is that these olde mighty T's are missing a cylinder in that olde engine, so you do not get the superb super balanced engine and power as in the bird instead the unbalanced mighty T, though if it vibrations you want my girl the mighty 'T' is it
