OUR 3RD N.O.C. MEET AT NORTHAMPTONSHIRE SUNDAY 15thMAY “WHARF INN” WELFORD

10.30 coffee then Oundle for travelers from the east will try and get a spot outside if there aren't too many mamils. Where are you joining the A14 FE, maybe wait for us/vica versa. Actually, if you join at Thrapston, you're only 6 miles from coffee meet, i would meet you there and show you some twistys
 
I’ll be coming up the A5199 I think WR.

First time with the sat nav on the 961...

Prob best to see y’all there.
 
Found a couple of Honda’s to blow off on the way back...

Sorry I could not stay but I have a rather painful hip injury and riding for any length of time is awkward. It also makes getting on and off fraught with danger. Here are a few photos that i took. Nice to see so many there.

I concur, 13 961's to match last year and NOC were very pleased to see us and want us back next year. I cheekily asked if he would set aside an area just for us and he enthusiastically said yes! We were scattered about the parking lot so no group photo.

I hope the attached vid is viewable, as suspected the Sena Prism helmet cam doesn't like being mounted to a bike that rattles and shakes but it did it's job as sound recorder so I might get some more edits out of it....
 
Mark,
Interesting camera angle - where was it mounted? Looks like a drone...
It's on the end of a selfi-stick, the software of the camera edits the stick out but if you look at the sequence as I pull off the grass at the beginning you will see the shadow cast by the pole. It's a 360deg camera so in the editing program you decide what angle you want to see and it has some interesting transitions too :) I could really do with extending the stick another foot but this was first test and I didn't trust those behind me to run into it !! I've got about 40mins of our run back up to Uppingham so if I can marry it with the sound from the other camera it might make an entertaining vid lol
 
I am pretty sure Fast Eddie was with us when we left Welford but by the time we got to Uppingham for refreshments he was nowhere in sight, he just couldn't keep up :)

Only kidding, I saw you peel off towards the West pretty early on, hope your trip home was as enjoyable as our run.

A lot of fine Nortons there.
Looks like mother nature provided some nice weather too.
Cheers.

Yeah, try as I might, even though I skipped lunch in the quest for weight loss and speed gain, you guys just disappeared into the distance as I tried in vain to catch up with my tach needle bouncing off the stop and my knee scraping in the corners...

Ok, actually I did peel off to head back my way! Good ride home too, hope same for y’all?

Also note, that’s storm42 on my bike, I think I nearly tipped him over the edge into wanting one... not sure what he thinks after sleeping on it tho, waddya say Ralph??

And, you caught me red handed doing running repairs Mark! I seemed to be the only one dealing with mechanical failures on the day... but I managed to put the mirror back together !
