Half the bikes are down stairs now , dusted and tyres pumped up ..  The rest come down tonight  :)

I wish Griff would decide how many mugs he's actually sold  :knuppel2:   

Stressed , Nah .. All under control, organised chaos  :daumenhoch:

I've just been asked at work, if I'd be willing to give up my Thursday and Friday holiday this week, and work days, to demonstrate the new bar line to a new customer that could be interested in us making cereal bars for them. It could potentially be a very lucrative move for our company.

Er, that would be no.

Any chance of some free samples and a Vanilla Latte to consume on Sunday to soak up the booze?  :coolsmiley:

I'm getting fed up of cleaning bikes now ..only two more to go now thank god! ::)

I'm loving the comments in this thread boys.

The idea to start this thread was simply to show how far we go to demonstrate how much we love our hobby, and how much we appreciate  :radbmxsmilie: and the people that make it happen.

It's way beyond shiny bikes on stands now.

Last year, going down in Friday, really helped me put into perspective, just what MK and RAD is all about. I was looking around on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning at 40 odd year old lads, booking holiday's off work, spending money hiring big vans to haul their massive collections, leaving their loved ones at home to dance like meerkats in a big tent with flashing lights in it.

It's bigger than most car forums can only dream about, the comments in this thread prove that.

I doff my cap to you all.  :4_17_5:

Just been and got two empty bike boxes for transit.

Spoke to Mary last night, he's my chauffeur yet again. Collecting me at 8am on Saturday from Southampton where I live. No rush, so should be there for about 10.30ish to 11.00.

We expect a red carpet .

Just one more bike to wipe clean.

It's nearly here. :slayer:

And he's at that age where he probably wants to shift a few out, without his old man lying next to him.  :daumenhoch:

Everything sorted now camping wise, just need to ship it down to Joffys house Friday morning, he's kindly agreed to take tent/sleeping bag in van he's driving down, saves me pissing about with it on train.  :slayer:

And he's managed to persuade me to buy a new BMX that I'm 99% certain I'll be riding at MK  :coolsmiley:

Sunday, I drove 5 hours to London, working here all week doing loft installs trying not to get lost. Dunno why but my company put me up a very classy hotel in a country estate in Windsor, its full of posh folk and I feel so out of place.

I am doing the work 2 of us usually do on my own. Really worn out. Friday I get to work the morning only then drive 5 hours back home. Saturday I am meant to be straight back up and a few hours drive back down to MK, I want to come so badly as it will be my first MK, but part of me wants to sleep for 2 days. Even the missus said although a weekend at home would do you good, the bmx weekend will be mega if you make the effort.
