Rideout: Sat April 12th

[Well Oiled]

OK - just posting this so peeps can see date for Plowsie's suggested rideout as mentioned here:

http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=105186

Meeting point is the Vic at Coalville - easy to find (map in thread above). What meeting time? I can get there anytime from about 9am.

Route seems fine to me - diversion for coffee stop at Shell's?

Takers so far seem to be:

Plowsie
Steve God
Shadowgirl4444
Well Oiled

Others?

Cheers Keith

[Steve_God]

9am would be fine for me! (Although I'm more than happy if others would prefer it later...) :p

[Steve_God]

How can this be added onto the main Calender? (Only just discovered it!)

I've just tried but it won't let me!

You have to ask a mod very nicely :smt045

now added.

[Steve_God]

Shameless bump! :)

[binky61]

I'll come out to play if you don't mind a H*nda tagging along.

Need to ride my bike a bit more. Apart from work I have been out on it twice in the past year - need to get a life I think.

You're very welcome mate. See you on the 12th

Guys I now can't make this as I have to go up to Brum with family on the 12th, Nan and Grandad want everyone round for some reason and I have no clue and everyone needs to go. I spoke to gramps and asked him if I could get out of it and he has said he needs to talk to me alone about whatever it is anyway so I have to go :???: Rather confuddled about it all. Was looking forward to seeing whether I had stuck a good route up off improvisations.

Bump for the thread for you all so that maybe a few others go for you :)

[Steve_God]

I'd 100% still up for it, but is anyone else happy to take over leading the 2nd half of the route that plowsie was going to lead?
I don't mind doing it, but I will make no promises on us not getting lost :p lol

[Well Oiled]

I still plan to go, but will need to be back in Derby for about 11:15 so will only do 1st half. Don't mind leading that bit.

Cheers Keith

[kwak zzr]

this rideout still on?

[Steve_God]

this rideout still on?
Yup yup! :)

[kwak zzr]

mmmmm will let you know soon i may be there :)

[G]

I have an eye test at 10am or I would have come along for the ride :(

[Shellywoozle]

Coffee stop offer still stands ...... may even drag my ass along if my chauffeur is going. Still can do coffee at mine even if I attend.

But I am not saying I am coming cause when I do things aways happen and I can't ..... so shhhhhh ;)

[Steve_God]

Right, as it's this weekend, will give a final update!

Takers:
Steve God

Shellywoozle
graemepaterson

Cuz (if it's dry)

Time / Starting Point:
8:45 - Arrive and natter...
9:00 - Depart
We will hang around till 9:15 for those on the above list to turn up. If you are planning to come and haven't shown an interest, say now! :)

We will be meeting at 'The Victoria' pub, Whitwick Road, Coalville, LE67 3FA.
(If you're not sure where this is, or how to get there, pm me!)

Route:
Same as Plowsie first suggested: http://tinyurl.com/3ayrux
With the addition of possibly stopping at Shells for tea/coffee/bacon butties?
I don't know where Shells is, so Shell, you'll have to either come along, or give one of us directions before Saturday :)

See you there!
- Steve

[G]

oooooo i got my weekends mixed up, I'm not doing anything that I'm aware of. I will have to check with my girlfriend though :( lol

[John 675]

ME ! ! ! dont forget me.. im coming too! can some one link up with me near long eaton so i dont get lost as im WELL hopless at getting somewhere on time lol,

[Steve_God]

Added both of you! :)

If you think you might get lost, I can pm my mobile number for on the day directions! Although it's an easy place to get to.

From Long Eaton, there's a nice route through the lanes... off the motorway at 23a past East Mids Airport, through Tonge, through Griffydam, through Swannington, and then you pop out on the A511 at Coalville, take a left at that roundabout, then take a right at the second roundabout (you'll see a big Morrisons), and the Vic will be on your left roughly 300m down the road.

If you're in a rush, take the A42 and then the A511, then take a right when you see Morrisons. (Could also go via the M1/A511 too)

[kwak zzr]

Already? Your 2 days early!!! :D lol

Looking to be a very good turn out considering how long it's taken to finally get a ride-out sorted!

[John 675]

PLEASE CAN SOMEone in the Nottingham area meet me before we meet the rest of the group?? i will get lost otherwise lol,

[G]

My link pipe to put the standard can on has until tomorrow to arrive at work or I'm stuffed :(

[kwak zzr]

why do u want the standard can back on?

[binky61]

My link pipe to put the standard can on has until tomorrow to arrive at work or I'm stuffed :(

If its a link pipe to put a standard can back on you need, I think I've got one you can have. (just been out to the garage - the pipe is 116mm long and 54mm internal diameter stainless steel - I don't have any clamps)

It's several years since I used it, but if you want to give it a try you are welcome to it.

I think I'm not too far from you so if you're interested PM me your phone number and we can sort it.

Andy

PS If you are going on Saturday do you want to meet up and ride down together?

If anyone else is bringing a GPS here is a tomtom itinerary of the route. Just rename from .txt to .itn and copy into the itn folder.

1386


If you are using a GPS other than Tomtom, then Google for ITNconv - this is program which will convert it to most GPS formats.

Andy

[Well Oiled]

Bit late catching up due to business travel. Looks like my daughter's horse riding is cacelled tomorrow so should be good for the whole route' rather than quitting half way.

See you shortly before 9am.

Kwak, I have had to send my blueflame back to be rebuilt. It sounded as loud with the baffles in as it did when i first got it with them out completely. I think all the packing inside must have got fried and knackered after a hard day riding a weel or so ago ;) wanted it done asap before the nice weather comes in and incase it was decided that it was to loud for certain trackdays :(

Keith

[binky61]

Just playing with the route in Autoroute at the mo.

If we depart at 9:00 then we should be arriving at Shellywoozle's at 10:39.

Not sure if anyone has planned any stops in the first half though.

[Well Oiled]

Ta - can u PM me your mobile number and I'll PM you mine so I can contact someone? Cheers Keith

Uttoxeter would be a good place to catch up with you? I could shoot straight up the A50 at 70 mph (!!)

[Shellywoozle]

Yeyyyy don't want to tempt fate but its looking pretty dry outside :) !!!!

[petevtwin650]

Morning guys and gal,

Hope you have a good ride without incident, but a bellyful of larfs.:D

[kwak zzr]

[Steve_God]

Mornin' all!

[kwak zzr]

ok, all back safe! weather was so so, everyone had a great time, well the 6 of us that turned up anyway:) i got some piccy's but i'll put them in the photo section, ooooo i got some lunge piccys too:)

[Shellywoozle]

Thanks guys and gal for a great day, really enjoyed myself and just missed the rain on the way back.

Can I thank my chaffeur too, for a smooth ride, sorry about the odd clash of lids and the nattering all the way LOL ...... I think I had a grin on my face the whole day!!

Not looking forward to the pics, be nice Kwak !!

Oh and thanks Plowsie for organising this even if you didn't make it xx

[binky61]

Thanks all for a great day. Special thanks to Shellywoozle for the coffee and biccies, and to Well Oiled for the obstacle course element of the ride home - is that something they teach you on the IAM rides? :)

I've got a few pics which I will stick in the photosection later.

And would you believe the bl**dy GPS decided to start working again on the way home. I think I understand the problem - it only works on roads I already know.:smt102

Andy

[Well Oiled]

Hi all - nice ride out. Good fun. Let's do it again soon. Thanks for the refreshments Shelly.

Good day all round, this afternoon our team won the Derbyshire squash tournament semi final and are in the final tomorrow afternoon. Wish us luck !!

Cheers Keith

P.S. I'm not Derbbiker !! I came off the roundabout in Tamworth one exit too soon, thaty's why we ended up at the dead-end !

Sorry Keith not sure why I put that (now edited).

No problem with the dead end - I would never have found my way to the very nice road back to the A38 on my own.

Cheers

We luckily just missed the rain so stayed dry through out, odd little 5 min spell but nothing too much.

Gosh my right arm is aching now tho LOL ...... my pillion breaking arm, either that or I'd have been rubbing my self up my fellow orger who was me chaffeur ...... sure he wuldn't have minded, although our lids did get to know each other a few times from his sudden breaking whilst lost !!!

Bless

[shadowgirl4444]

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their great company on the ride and especially to Shelly for the biccies and hospitality. Although the weather wasn't perfect it held out pretty well and certainly could have been worse. I enjoyed meeting everyone and look forward to the next ride.

[DavieSV]

Good to see the MIGTS out and about:)
I wanted to come on this one but child's birthday came 1st
Hope another one is round the corner and finger's crossed, I'll make it
