    Around Suffolk and SE

    Hi all I have been looking around and there does not seem much around this area. So if it is okay with all I will see if I can find some locations around here.
    If there is anyone close by then give me a shout to see if we can sort something that would be cool.
    I'm planning on going to the next meet up in March but it is a fair old few miles to go alone.

Now of to see the Surgeon sometime soon but trying to dodge it. Whats SADF (South African Defence Force i think but a bit unsure sorry).

    Spot on with the SADF but it was national service (family lived in SA for a while), and this was in 84/85 and because I was a 'rooineck' (Englishman) got f****d around quite a bit and ended up doing recce in Southern Sector Angola, meeting up with Rhodie ex 'pamwe chete' (Selous Scouts/mercs) for info. Anyway, that's for round the campfire!

    Yeah, back's buggered (trapped nerve and sciatica) and I'm having a discectomy in a couple of weeks. Got the injury on a sailing course of all things!!!

    Look forward to meeting up at some point - you too Tony.

    Nice bike I used to ride a Harley Springer Softtail back in the 90's had to give it up tho when I left. Still want to get one again someday and forever dreaming about it. Seems we have the same back trouble mine came from a few bike accidents and doing silly stunts for a selection course in the White Helmets. Anyway need to save the stories for a weekend LMAO
