After a tough week last week I could definately do with a lazy evening with you guys. Is anyone keen?

PS - have added the option of a ride into the poll for those who want to go for a ride first.

I'm in... will lead a 45 min ride too if any others fancy it :-)
The SV is back and is running nicely. I have had to endure the Dullsville for two weeks in nice weather. I shall be there and I will be up for a ride too. :cool:

Unless I can get a tyre tomorrow I'll be on the ZZR so not really up for a ride as its still ****ing oil from somewhere and i cant be asked to sort it out at the moment. I don't think I really want to risk riding on this...

Well they are good value for money - Mine were legal down until the last 400 miles or so. Try doing that with a tyre that has tread in the middle!

Just spoke to Mark at Ride-in and they will have one for me tomorrow morning. I might combine the trip to Reading and the shire trip -Will anyone else be about from 5:30 ish in Reading to ride over to the shire. I can kill some time in McDonalds if needs be :p

I'm going to try and break my run of non-attendance and be there! I'm on-call with work, so I might have to dash midway through the evening, though!

You've said that before. [-X
What time do you guys get to the Shire?
If you turn up before 7 you'll get to do a ride first. I aim to be there for about 6:30.

Fair comment! As long as its not p.ing down I'll be there!! :lol:
I'll be there...& it'll be the steak. Definitely the steak. Absolutely the steak - so if I forget someone remind me :cool:
I may not be there in time for a ride - might have to do a spot of carpet shopping before I head up.

Preparation.

I was prepared. Apparently Metzler weren't though.

Organising 1 day in advance is not preparation. It's last minute booking. Had you booked the tyre the week before, you would of already known it was the wrong size and have been able to get it changed. Or at least Mark could have.

True true. i wasn't expecting the tyre to die quite so dramatically over the weekend. Thought it would be OK until this week. I'd actually spoken to Mark the week before but he didn't have any in so I said to leave until this week. No hard done anyway, I still have something to ride, plus I can get a second opinion about the oil leak from you lot.

When mine is getting close to the limit I always ring Mark and get him to put one on the shelf waiting for me. :wink:

:notworthy:
Indeed. I'll remember that for next time. I'm going to try and persuade him to give me discount on a set for the ZZR as that needs some now too, or will do shortly.
:notworthy:
Yes I know, I am good. :)
Depending on whether I get all my festival packing done this by this eve I'll come along.
I wont be leaving work before 6:30 which means I am highly unlikely to be there for the ride. If I'm not, don't wait around for me.
I'm a definate no due to being stuck at work.

Good to see you again Paul, nice of you to show up! It was fun and warm, my kind of meet. Sorry I had to leave a bit early, I promised the gf that I wouldn't be too long. Thanks for the DVD Tony! I am still trying to get it to work, it seems my codec pack isn't up to the job, just gettting some more...

Yep, cheers all.. Nick, is that the dvd of the sunday rideout??
It is from Sunday but, it's only the leg from Benson to Aylesbury. And I was at the back all the time.
It was just a little tester as I have recently got the camera.
Nick, after I copied it I just stuck it into my dvd player and it worked ok. Have you tried it in a normal dvd player ???

try vlc player - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ it will play almost anything without the need for external codec packs.

Yup it is the Sunday ride with UKRM, first leg. I got it to work no probs, just had a little codec conflict. It is a really good vid, good sound, nice picture, good height etc! Couple of things I notice; I look seriously fat!! All my jumper and textiles, I look a right chubber, and dwarf my bike :(. Secondly, that video is totally youtube worthy, we actually ride a lot safer than I thought. Nothing looks dodgy at all, albeit it was the first leg which was fairly t(h)ame. :)
Nowt to be ashamed of, and I also look smoother and more composed than I feel hahaha. Cheers Tony!
Cheers dude. There is one point where I overtake on a left bend but I could see clearly ahead. On the vid it looks more dodgy than it was.
Good to see folks...sun, steak - it's all good - apart from setting off another car alarm just after detouring around a road block on the way back - still that could have been someone elses back-firing twin :rolleyes:.
Now stuck in the studio listening to 3 CDs of "Thrash" after sorting out the mess left by Microsoft updates. Good mood evaporating fast. Sacred Reich "Surf Nicuragua" next. Oh Joy.
