The teddy Bears' Picnic, first course Where's Baby Bear? MacHaggis does his Amazing Elastic Arm Trick and stretches over to scratch MasterGuy on the bonce Soren's Fancy Always the last bears left on the site

I'm surprised that anyone can remember anything. My memory is that it was very cold, of a night. And that I had an ASBO camped on one side and a snoring copper on the other side – and that we all 3 went for a teddy bears' picnic of crumble and custard, way up in the hills at Tibbie Shiel's place. Hang on, now I remember – I took some photos! Right, let's see...

Unfortunately no. It wasn't under the kilt.

I think she tickled Soren's fancy.

The Tech Topics forum is proof of that, if proof were needed.

It's ok. I'm just referring to the Belfast - Stranraer crossing mishaps, the past 2 years.

It's a bit like deciding a rally rideout on a Saturday morning; who is going on what route; where? Say no more... Good job we're starting the process early Anyway, the cunning plan is to organise something where I don't have to catch a ferry.

Oh yeah, that's right: we weren't here. – It was the Americans

Not September in Denmark. Jaap was only joking. Roberto, is that 14th to 17th September in Mandello? How many days do you take altogether?

I've looked at the map. It's a long way – to combine Belfast, Stavanger and Denmark and would probably take more time and money than I could afford. How would people be proposing to go from UK to Denmark?

I'm going to Stavanger, Norway over the weekend of 18th to 21st September. Wasn't planning to go by bike, but maybe the two things could be combined????

Trying to understand Mr. Euan MacHaggis at New Galloway:– Listen HERE on Real Player

I need the recipe. Have to start mixing and making – to build up the stock for next year's meet. Haggis and tattie bread. Heavenly. Let the great haggis slaughter begin.

Thanks very much for that! If you can copy it at some stage, then p.m. me. It was advertised in Northern Ireland last week. Don't know a more precise location as it was a mobile number. I'll look for it tonight.

There's a red Griso advertised for sale here. 6,000 miles. £3,500. A bargain? You're right about the clip-ons though. I want to see what I can do about changing those Griso bars.

Sorry Jaap I've just deleted my new post and moved it back to the new thread. Start fresh.

Normally June is not possible for me, but it could be ok in 2009. May is still good, though I would like to avoid the NW200 weekend. I don't know what date it will be next year. The end of May should be a safe time, so how about pencilling-in the weekend of Friday 29th to Sunday 31st May 2009? Give your feedback on May / June and that weekend in particular... There were some comments from folk in this earlier thread: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?...st&p=130290

There's this too: And the easy way to watch again is via the web on BBC iplayer, but you neeed to catch it in the next few days before it's taken off. Robert Dunlop tribute. > http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/page/item/b00...on_pid=b00bymzp Well worth watching. Good archive footage. If someone with a PC can record this and transfer to a dvd, let me know. I can't record it as BBC's Mac version of iplayer doesn't have the record facility. Highlights part 1 (1 hour) http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/page/item/b00...on_pid=b00bfnrp Highlights part 2 shown tonight, should be there soon. Superstock was 'exciting'. 5 abreast on the road; on the dirt; over the grass hump...

Thanks Martin. You've reminded that I need to get home to watch this – I was going to start into something else at work here. I think there will be a feature on the life of Robert Dunlop in tonight's programme. I must record it. Oh, apparently there is something on UTV right now, 8.00pm: probably on Robert Dunlop(?). If you can get UTV. Must go. Michael Dunlop after that 250 win:

For those of you who take a bit of interest in this: having got home, I've just watched highlights of the races. Following the unspeakable tragedy of Robert Dunlop's death on the 250 in a 160 mph accident at Thursday night's practice, young Michael Dunlop decided to go ahead and race in the 250 (first race of the day). (His brother, William, had to retire at warm-up with mechanical failure.) In the highlights, I've seen the incredible dice as he rode an aggressive and his best-ever race – to finish first. Extraordinary. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/7406127.stm http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/article3706294.ece

Yes. Just the one, or so I've heard. ...I haven't left yet..... What time is it?

I'd like a butler / batman. I'm gonna ask MacGuzzi to take-on the job.

That's what I thought I was doing today! You never know... er... look out for a black Griso racing to the ferry tomorrow morning! (I hope not, though.)
