they found the bike - caught the thief foot clutching it across a field

Tipple Run 2011
well - its on... no dates yet but the bones are coming together as i type.
2011 will be welsh bound at least for a good portion of it. i'm getting help this year to take some of the load off me planning everything.
all this years pics are now up on the tipple run blog. bring on next year
shifter
quick dig about and got the kliktronic off an old sidecar i had [the flat-bed one] last night.
need to have a work out of angle of the dangle but this is pretty close i think. should be an easy fit. just a tab on the frame. they are just an electromagnet so pretty bulletproof, the way the linkage was looking like it would have to go round corners, past frame tubes etc this is more reliable then a heath robinson mechanical setup.
we salute you
thanks to all who came and rode the TIPPLE RUN - it was a good time
if you took pics which i didnt...] please email them me and i will sort a photo-dump like i have in previous years - send to vintagechop@gmail.com

Pre-run nightcaps all round, early to bed early to rise... they serve a lovely pint - catch me for a free patch and stickers.
Campsite: THE THREE MAGPIES
9th Sept - 170 miles

Melksham - Sudbury
Campsite: THE WHITE HORSE
10th Sept - 220 miles
Sudbury - Skegness
this is booked for everyone already so no need to call. we will just sort out paying on the day when they see how far se spread out/how many tents. they have helped out at the last minute and i was specifically asked if we are "well behaved" to which the answer was obviously a yes... as you would expect form a group of vintage motorcyclists. this is the only non-pub campsite but there is the Kings Arms about 200yards down the road
Campsite: COTTAGE FARM
11th Sept - 200 miles
Skegness - Buxton
Im guaranteed to get lost around the bottom of Sheffield because i always do - anyone... feel free to take the pole position
Campsite: THE BULL I' TH' THORN

depending on weather a little jaunt in the Peak District before lunch then homeward bound for all
