Yup. I'll be there. 2pm departure I think. Used to do this one regularly but not attended for a couple of years now. Been out today & bought a rucksack full of mini footballs to donate. If I come off me bike at least I'll bounce!
Me trike's in bits for the winter while I build a new frame so I'll be there on my green Triumph Speed Triple. Say Hello if you see me. What you riding?

we'll be on a black kawasaki GT750 trike, you won't miss doro cos she'll be wearing the skull face mask that she won on 100%

plus some dodgy sunglasses no doubt

we'll be with shade (off BW) who has a black bike ha ha no idea what it is, I reckon a kwak but doro thinks it's a honda

full marks for observation again

I was there, I was there!
Gave you a wave as I passed you on the dual carriageway between Stratfield Saye & Reading, (cool looking dude on green Triumph Speed Triple). Also saw you pull into the carpark at Foster Wheelers in Reading, but never managed to get over to say Hi. Forgive me, beautiful lady.
T'was a damn good afternoon out. Never seen so many Santas in one place. I suspect some of 'em weren't the real one though.
Don't know how to post piccies on here, so go to:

foxandhoundsmcc.btinternet.co.uk

Forums, Gallery.

Pat, I assume you had someone covering it, but are any of these shots any use to you? x :)

Got more Santas in MY photos than you did in yours!
So how do I attach piccies on this 'ere Forum then? Saw your trike but no sign of you when I got there. Toy run in Basingstoke? -typical! I LIVE in Basingstoke but I'm in Worcester all weekend so will miss it. I'm a Postie, living & delivering in the Brookvale area, (near the Tech' College). I deliver to Stevie, another Forum member, so rush his 100% to him every month! My previous trike was bright red & was featured in AWOL with me in my Post office uniform.
You local? Wouldn't be Copland Close by any chance? See the two trike projects I've got on the go in the Fox & Hounds MCC website? One of 'em is for a mate in Copland who often tells me he's seen a black trike in the area. Small World ain't it, but I wouldn't want to paint it. x

Got one trike on the go in a garage in Verdi Close, Brighton Hill, another in Abbey Road, Popley & bits of my own in my lock up garage at Southam. Building a new frame over the Winter for mine so sold the old one to a mate. With luck there'll be 4 Reliant trikes out & about around Basingstoke in the Spring. Got to sign off soon cos I'm off to work on the Brighton Hill one!
Got details of the toy run this weekend? Can't go myself but other Club members may be interested.
Clicked on Manage Attachments but nothing seemed to happen. More instructions please, (new to all this techy stuff).

Guess these Forums really work then don't they!
Won't give garage address here cos I'd like the trike to still be there next time I go round, but if you're at home tomorrow, (Tuesday), maybe I'll come round & blag a cuppa off you. Are the rest of the forum invited too? x

Doro
06-12-2004, 02:17 PM

Hope you haven't been upsetting my mates at the Fox & Hounds! Nice people, but straight motorcyclists, not bikers. Mostly sports bikes & tourers. View my trike with bemusement I think! Get lots of vistors to the site but not many contributions, which is why my name appears so often there. Most welcome there but keep it nice please! Check trike articles in "New Stuff", plus video clips in "New Stuff 2004". Got a few errands to run this afternoon so signing off now. Will check PM later. And yes, Doro, you ARE a bit scarey! x :)

Oh Gawd, not another groupie! It's a bit worrying how many hairy bikers tell me they've got that mag under their beds! Admit it, it was the uniform wasn't it. I was young & I needed the money! Appear in print once, well several times actually, & it follows you for life. One of my old workmates was in the Patriots MC. He went on a run to Holland. Sat in a Club House over there, picked up a mag from a pile on the bar & it fell open to that feature. My "Green Beastie" Reliant trike was in BSH a year or two ago. Any other media superstars out there?
Can someone tell me how to attach photos on here please. I've clicked on "Manage Attachments" but nothing seems to happen. What should I be doing after that? :confused:

Nobody opening little windows on my computer. Given up now.
Hey Shep. I vaguely remember a Shep from the New Inn crowd in Basingstoke when I was a lot younger. Wasn't you was it? I'd have been riding either a tatty 650 Bonny or a series of XS650 Yams back then.

No, I comed from Cirencester via Wantage.
I've met loads of other Sheps. If we formed our own club, would it be a pack or a flock?
