Tankslap Tour Of Wales - 22nd July

Post by **duke63** » 20 Jul 2015, 09:22

One of the reasons I have never expanded my business is any further is I have seen the hassles business owners have with employees and i just don't need that.

I know how it was the bain of Bratty's life dealing with people not turning in for work even when he was away on holiday.

Like you come down with a 24 hr bug or something maybe?
Working for myself the only one who suffers by taking days off is me. The work doesn't go away.

Oh, didn't realize, fair call then mate, I could imagine it's a tough enough gig without doing the bunk willy nilly

Andy do you wanna meet up in Chester somewhere and we can ride over to Raven?
Is it just gonna be the 4 of us now then...? I know kwacky n Juke have pulled out but there were a few other names on the list wasn't there...?
Looking forward to it now I really hope the weather is nice!

Weather says mainly cloudy/ sunny intervals so I'm gonna assume we're on for now. Do you want to pm me your number Mike and we can sort out meeting in Chester?

Duke. Totally agree getting the work life balance is 100% the right thing to do. My sister has a physical problem which came about by stress at work.

I ve done two stressful jobs in my time and glad the one I have now is something I can manage. I actually took a step back from a more senior position as I used to run a squad of 14 guys with a lot of responsibility and it believe me it was aways hassle and my day ended up being 2-3 hours long than the rest of the team. Im so glad that is behind me now.

Andy i'll meet you at the Bill Smith Honda garage on the A41 (same place as last time) about 8:45 and we'll have a pootle over to Raven to meet Blade, sounds like he's got a plan regarding the route n everything so hopefully will be a cracking day... weather forecast is not too bad with sunny spells being touted.

Blade is it just the four of us booked in now then...?

Post by **Blade** » 20 Jul 2015, 18:46

Unless anyway else joins in, Yes Deano just the 4 of us. Got a good route I want to try which I think everyone will like. Quite a long route so don't plan to be home early

Post by **Deano** » 20 Jul 2015, 20:28

Oh.... what happened to everyone else, can't be the weather putting people off surely... ?

Can you define "early"... I could do with being back by 6:30 but it's no biggie if we ain't.

Post by **Kwacky** » 20 Jul 2015, 20:58

No Dale? Thought he would be up for this.

As expected work means I can't make it. Early start for me tomorrow.

Post by **Blade** » 20 Jul 2015, 21:01

I'm out all day

with no time limits as can spoil the day imo. As long as home before dark I'll be happy.

All joking aside we could well be done for 630 but cant promise it. If its dry I will be out all day and making the most of it.

If people want to peel of and head off early obviously that's fine.

Weather seems to be up and down around here. May just miss it likihood is I will hit into it at some point

Post by **DaytonAndy** » 21 Jul 2015, 17:20

I'll be wearing leathers. Think positive lol.

Post by **Blade** » 21 Jul 2015, 17:36

I think we will get a few showers throughout the course of the day, but unless I get up and its a monsoon I'm up for this and will be wearing leathers too.

Post by **Deano** » 21 Jul 2015, 17:57

Yeah leathers defo... Bring on the optimism!
Andy you alright with that meet time tomorrow morning... ?

Post by **Rossgo** » 21 Jul 2015, 18:00

Yes certainly am up for it. I didn't manage to remind my bosses I'm off today so will be interesting for them for the day

I will see what the weather is like in the morning and decide what clothes to use. however I am opting for leathers also and bring waterproofs along
Been looking forward to this since the day you posted it up Blade!
