I recall some nice XRV rideouts down south, a good one around Kent from Wrotham ending up at the Dungeness chippie via Rye, plus 'London Calling', and the best one from Lowestoft to Dingle via Holyhead :) I wonder where are all the XRV characters who attended; folks move on I suppose. May be up for one if at the right time/place (for me).

That's 'cause some of us can't ride as well as we used to :D I can't even ride an AT in the mud these days. (anyway's... when you you leave this life for whatever's next, the only thing you'll be able to take is 'memories' ! 8-)

He was the first person I bumped in to at Ragley Hall Russ. He cooked up one of his famous lamb curries from one pannier and liquids supplied from his cold bar in the other ! :)
XRV ? Things evolve, some don't....it ain't worth a toss now, shame.

I aint going up Salisbury plain as well its boring this time of year just a hard dust bowel...we have loomies and Rhykers cafe and Alton train station too...but surely their are other establishment worth a visit....

Please dont post condescending comments im trying to be nice :D
Hi Tramp / Russ

Been a long time, since i joined you on the plain - you're right it is dusty right now!
I am often out on my GS from London - did Guildford to Alton lanes last Saturday
May be out from Rykkas on Saturday or again down to Hampshire
