View Full Version : Ride-out, Sunday 27th
As the weather looks OK this weekend, I'll be meeting a few people at the Horse & Jockey on the A413 out of Aylesbury around 10.30 tomorrow morning for a run up the 413 and beyond.
If anyone else fancies a run, have a click on the poll above (so I know if I'm meant to be waiting for anyone) or just turn up.
P.
I guess your still doing the poll but the answer is as usual no from me.
And as if by magic, there it is :lol:
Ta.
The pace should be interesting - so far there are three ZX10Rs and me on the RGV (or SV if I can't get the smoker running) - bagsy the back-marker spot!

Ooh if Nick is going, then as his official stalker then maybe i should go? :p
I was planning to go to the Ace with Tony, but might be interested depending on whether he gets back to me.
Don't forget which Nick we are talking about here. :wink:

I wouldn't worry about the speed - one of the 10R riders has a cast-iron reputation for being slow. One of the others is a regular Manx GP racer with a 115mph lap under his belt, so we're talking about a wide spread here!
And lets not forget, if all goes to plan I'll be on a 250!

I gave it a good oiling the other week ;)
Don't know why it's covered in the orange stuff, my bike cover keeps coming off in the wind leaving the bike open to the elements for long periods, either that I didn't put enough oil on :rolleyes:
What time are you leaving M'head?
About 9.45. It usually takes me about half an hour to get from my flat to the H&J, stopping for go-go juice in Aylesbury.
If you want to meet at the Shire Horse or something, PM me your mobile no. in case I have starting trouble (I've already taken the tank off to allow easier fettling!)

Oh boll*x. why do i never check the forum at weekends. I really wanted to go for a ride today too. Ressurected the SV yesterday as the weather looked so good. went for a ride with warthog then peeled off when and rode around worcestershire on my own for a bit. got in one wicked run up fish hill too.
i wanna try keeping up with a ZX10. I'm sure 70-bhp is quite enough ;).
I guess I'll just have to go on my own private ride out :(

Keeping up was easy enough, though we did lose one person completely. It's always hardest for the poor sod at the back.
And that's despite giving away 100bhp and 700cc to the next smallest bike.

Just got back from my ride with a very large grin stuck on my face. Why can't every weekend be like this! Roads were pretty clear, no coppers and the bike just felt right. One of those rides when you feel like there is no way you could loose traction and can just hammer into the bends. Bring on the dry weather!!! :smt035

If we knew you were out, we would have told you to meet us at the ace/fox's.

I told you before we left I was gonna take it slower on the way home, I wasn't interested in going flat out.. I doubt I would have kept up even if I was trying tho, you reached silly mph! [-(
