Family ride to tamworth for brother to buy bike.

Family ride to tamworth for brother to buy bike.

Postby muss » Mon Aug 30, 2010 10:58 pm

Hi, as the title states, me and my family (dad and brother) are taking a ride to tamworth from chesterfield at the weekend so my borhter can buy a gs125. In my experience these rides either end in disaster or disappointment.

Anyone want to hazard a guess as to which one? Dont jinx us though, as we know what british drivers and weather can be like.

Cheers, Muss.

Errr, am not clear as to why such rides end in disaster or disappointment. Are you referring to a family dynamic thing (arguing) or is it because the rides tend to be rather boring and uneventful?  Or maybe because the weather is so notoriously moody? 

I have a friend who occasionally goes on rides with his dad and brother and they usually just end up in some argument then everybody ends up resentful for a few months.
