Would have been the perfect ride if i had not dropped it so embarrassingly!

[RichT]

So Chompy's the bad luck omen where dropping is concerned....

Looks good - where abouts is it?

[arcdef]

I dont really know what road those were taken on but all ones off the A272, didnt venture too far!

[chompy]

haha, that was funny ish, i seem to attract people to drop there bikes, no damage was done tho. I think people should watch out for gravel ;)

no names mentioned.

was great ride, the road had new surfacing so was v smooth :D loevly bends

we went

from loomies

A272 to petworth then down to duncton over duncton hill, through upwaltham down the A285 through eartham and then went round roundabout and did it all backwards because i enjoyed it so much. the sun was lovely and the roads were windey :riding::smt081

[RichT]

Nice - will have to ceck that out...

Glad there was no damage...

under seat exhaust so no damage on that, crash bund not dmage but saved fairing and mirror and Big indicator saved it as well, so there is a plus side ot thoes haha.

we can do it some time rich, let me know, ended up doing 100 miles from loomies the ride then back to my house

[Wideboy]

[Ed]

Aye that's where they're supposed to be but they were introduced here for ornamental purposes, like the peacock :rolleyes:

Anyway I do apologize for going offtopic about birds (I almost asked RichT why he has a kiwi in his avatar but thought better of it...d'oh!) Back to the lovely motorsickles :D Glad to see no pointies about ruining the photos and breaking your cameras :-D

[markryker]

Looks like ya had a cracking time, nice weather too :D

[RichT]

I'll give you two guesses MYC... I'm sure you can get it in one.

For those interested I posted rideout plans for this Saturday here (http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=127267&page=11).

Just a quick one around the A32/A272 area - early(ish) start though.

1) you're actually from New Zealand or 2) you were brought up as a small child by a small flightless, feathered creature with an amazing sense of smell :p

[injury_ian]

My money is on #2

[RichT]

Born in the UK, but moved to NZ before I could walk or talk... From which point I moved in with a group of small nocturnal flightless fellas who only ever fed me worms, grubs and bugs..... anyhow, been back in Blighty for quite a while now.
