Today the 8C went to St Margaret's Bay for a mid morning bacon and egg rolls and had a look over the channel to see what the Frenchies are up to!!

Then a look at the old German defenses

.

Then up to the cliffs to be buffeted by the strong winds (hence it being out of focus!!)

 

[jparkin486]

Still likes a drink!!

Back on the ferry home to the mainland

 

[jparkin486]

Home again

.

I'm off to Ironbridge next week so will take the 8C but if anyone wants its sending on let me know and I can post it from there.

I'll tot up the full mileage that he has done this weekend.

 

[jparkin486]

So far, including the previous week's travel the 8C has done 1,520 miles with me.

Blimey! It’ll need a full service and gearbox rebuild now top bombing with your travels, JP!

It's not the 8C needing a service it's me that needs one!!

I’m not surprised with the distance you’ve covered! Well done, sir!

Book yourself in for a Thai massage

 

[Keithy]

I tempted to meet you in Ironbridge then drop it to @MadMotoUK at a bike meet up in that there Wales!

 

[jparkin486]

@Keithy No probs I'm there from Monday evening thru to friday.

 

[jparkin486]

8C out drinking again!! I can't keep up!!

I'll show him some classic British engineering in Ironbridge tomorrow.

 

[jparkin486]

Seen more pig iron in a 70s Mustang said the 8C!

I’m starting to wonder who’s really consuming all these drinks… ;-)

 

[jparkin486]

8C has now passed on to Keithy (nice to meet you 👍)

My drinks bill has halved now @Scudetto 😂

 

[Keithy]

Collected from @jparkin486 this aft'

Top bloke, great to finally meet up. Then a whizz through the South Shropsire Hills , 52 miles, target 110mph failed and back once more to Shrewsbury. (It's parked on the tank)

So, we can have @MadMotoUK swing by to collect (around Shrewsbury or N/mid-Wales Sat?) any other volunteers in the vicinity who want to meet or collect or I can post on to @Starkers who I hear may be planning another trip?

Let me know!! I might even ask @bazza if he's about!

8C update, Julian has been piling on the miles and I suspect it's been left in quite a few hotel car parks, when I got it up on the ramp bottle Cork it appears to have that bodge underseal/mastic on the underside.

I've cleared out the empties and crisp packets and given it a wipe over. There was a pair of knickers in the glove box, PM me an address and I'll post 'em to you so you can reunite them with their owner

 

[MadMotoUK]

I can bob up to J&S Northwich on the VFR Saturday lunchtime if you want although my next journey of any substance isn't until November (honeymoon in Torquay as missus' passport has expired ).

I'm working up in Scouse land next week so the 8C could probably fix a generator or two. I'd be a bit worried about it's alloys being stolen though

 

[Starkers]

There's a strong chance that I am going to Italy for up to two days on either Sunday the 25th, or Monday 26th.
