Chelsea Bun Run 20th October.

The ride started of at Weymouth then on to Poole and Salisbury to pick up other riders a total 7 bikes in all. Then on to Hein Greicke Farnborough were a good discount and a great fresh made mug of tea [thanks to the staff] was enjoyed by all. Infinitey Bike shop up the road had just re-opened after changing hands but were unable to take anything other than cash so Chris dipped out on the new trousers he wanted to buy as a whip round by all would have never produced enough he!!! he!!!!!!
Simon the leader of the pack for the day suffered complete battery failure and had to purchase a new one, so then on to our main target of the day to fit battery, but this then needed Chris to push Simon on the VFR 750 to get him going [sorry no camera available for that shot].
We finally made it to Egham and as to why!!!!!!!!!! French sticks with various fillings crisps and the famous Chelsea buns were greatly on offer by our hosts Pam Roy and Mike.
A return trip on the M3 meant that Simon who had lead the way well [seeing as it is only the second time] could have a quick blast with everyone else, well till the two Motorcycle police were caught in the mirror of the front bike who pulled us back into line Ho Hum I was enjoying that.
All agreed at the end of the day this must be a yearly event.

If you want to see Pics go to Dorset Forum [opppppps I will have to put them on first :oops:

Oh dear! Battery failure? VFR750? Sounds like the good old VFR750 reg/rec problem to me,not the battery! (On a VFR,the battery is either the cause of reg/rec failure,or the victim. One usually takes the other with it. Don't ask how I know :roll: ..........,but they all die in the end.) He may have made it home,but will it be OK in a day or so? Better get it checked.
Sounds like you had a great day otherwise,I wish I had been there,I do like a buttered Chelsea! [smilie=muffin.gif] (Went to Stafford show,great day,beautiful weather too.)
Regards,Red. (Bristol branch,we'll have to meet next year....)
