A huge crowd of us RBRers got together at the Ace Cafe on the North Circular, London, for an informal, off the cuff, on the hoof, opportunistic, get together for a nice chat over a nice (expensive) cup of Coffee and ‘Burger.
All 4 (Paul, Steve, Graham and me) of us met at about Midday last Sunday and indulged in a orgy of catching up on news of what we had been up to over the past few months and our plans for the rest of the year with regards to our motorcycling exploits.
Needless to say our main thread of conversation revolved around the ‘Credit Crunch’ and how difficult it might be to get as much of the RBR and associated Camping soirees, Other Rallies and holidays etc as well as just keeping the bikes on the road due to expense. (Torture and Bankers crept into the conversations on more than one occasion!)
| We looked around the Trikes that had been brought to the cafe as part of the NABD day |  |
 | And someone had even brought his own Banker along with him! (I noticed the Banker had lost some weight?! May have been down to the torture we had proposed earlier?) |
| Note to self…..Must get a bigger bike, must get a bigger bike, must get a bigger bike……. |  |
The Weather was kind to us as well, we got to watch real bikers doing wheelies and revving engines to the limits, this we decided was how you can tell that your bike is in tip-top mechanical condition! (Well it was ‘till you wrecked the engine, over-revving it)
 | The RBR Pirate, and a few of his crew of evil men!!!! |
We departed late afternoon into the traffic feeling that little bit happier and closer to starting the RBR, and that feeling, Ladies and Gentlemen, is worth it’s weight in Gold for serious long distance bikers!
