Bibio's Sunday Bimbles

[Bibio]

ok folks.. Every Sunday, if the weather is nice i am out :sunny:

so if anyone else can get out on a sunday and would like a rideout to anywhere..

if you are intrested, please post suggestions, meeting etc.etc. here..

i dont care where i go as long as its not much over 400miles round trip (me bum gets sore after that)

as the summer gets going there are a few of my mates that will be tagging along...

Lance

Meet at South Queensferry McDonalds 9:30 for 10am

Rules of the ride, as per all ecosse rodeouts: everyone stays with the pack as much as they can... no leaving slower riders on their own to try and catch up.. we all know its dangerous so we wont be doing it... if the faster riders want to go and play on some lovely twistys. etc.etc that's not a problem as long as they either pull over/slow down and let the slower riders catch up.. novice/slower riders will not be 'pushed' into trying to ride faster.. if you are a novice/slower rider do not try and ride outwith your capability's to try and catch up with faster/experienced riders. ride at your own pace

[Bibio]

Sunday 26th April. Now Saturday 25th due to forecast downpours!

well, its official its saturday... 25th april...

if anyone is still up for this with the date change here is the proposed (modified pete's) route..

made a few adjustments to include some ice cream at st lucia's in musselburgh.. also at the end of the run we could include the hawes pub in south queensferry for a cuppa.. or everyone can filter off home after musselburgh..

Sorry folks, a bit disorganised this weekend what with visitors and everythibg. Well despite my best efforts we did manage a wee ride today and Tiger55 even managed to join us.

The Bandit 1250, very impressed, does exactly what it says on the tin, if you use the gearbox properly its is very fast and very responsive,,,,,,,,,,,or alternatively you can stick it in 6th gear at 30mph and it still does everything you ask of it. It turns on a sixpence, it rolls into corners (not falls as sugggested in ride) Suspension was the only thing that could be slightly improved but even that performed well, no noticeable difference with or without pillion.

Now I'm not bikey enough to identify exactly what it is but for me the CBF was a knats pube better, dont know why just was, other half preferred the cbf as well but that was probably the colour as much as anything.

Anyway back to the ride, nice bimble out to stirling then up to callander, crianlarich to crieff, bit wet and wild but very nice and fun all the same, some quite spirited but safe, rapid progress was made by T55 here smooth lines and very confident cornering. nice.

It was at this point we realised we were a bit behind schedule fro getting the bandit bact to saltire for 4pm, what followed was interesting to say the least but still enjoyable but definately pushing the envelope slightly.

I would like to apologise to Tiger55 and -Ralph- for putting them in this position and pressuring them to make faster progress than we would normally. Sorry guys, entirely my fault, wont happen again.

Then a blast down to edinburgh with some slightly agrssive filtering which the bandit coped with better than i expected.

All in All a really good day, thanks for the company and the limited banter we had time for. cheers lads.

[Tiger 55]

I would like to apologise to Tiger55 for pressuring him to keep up with a guy on a £2500 excess demo bike and a guy riding a mate's bike 3rd party only!
Which I then failed to do. :smt046

I find the transition from bimble to blast isn't easy and the transition from Bandit to SV was much harder than the other way round. The simultaneous transition from Bandit bimble to SV blast was......challenging :)

If I'm ever in the market for a 1250cc twist'n'go by the way I shall look no further than the Bandit. 6th gear from Callander to Comrie, including all 30 limits and junctions, what a way to travel!

Oh, entries on a postcard please as to what 'slightly agressive filtering' is a euphemism for. :smt003

[Bibio]

:laughat:I;m haadin g too brd, had a small libation asit was my my stag day, may not mkae this tomorroe, hope all gos well.

The dangers of logging on after a few shandies are clearly demonstrated here by our esteemed Moderator. Shall we open a book on some 'moderation' of his posts this morning ?? :D

It looks like you had a good time KG !!!:p

[fenjer]

teehee!

Guys - Bibio has just left mine having given my bike a clean bill of health. Woo.

He's looking forward to a run out - so get ready! :)

[GordonM]

Nice route,

... except why not go through Glenfarg instead of the M90? New route. (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=A977&daddr=B996+to:56.251362,-3.374348+to:A93%2FGlenshee+Rd+to:A93+to:A957%2FBri dgefield+to:A92%2FRossie+Island+Rd+to:A92%2FDundee +Rd+to:A92+to:A91%2FEast+Bridge+to:A92&geocode=FTytWQMdUoPL_w%3BFeIDWgMd1AXM_w%3B%3BFTfXZ QMdDyfM_w%3BFeCmZgMd_CPb_w%3BFRgqZQMd0Eze_w%3BFUQv YQMdQira_w%3BFXrsXgMdwGLY_w%3BFXxQXQMdbjzT_w%3BFT5 eWwMd5hXS_w%3BFRJ9WQMdkt_P_w&hl=en&mra=dpe&mrcr=0&mrsp=2&sz=13&via=1,2&sll=56.260802,-3.387222&sspn=0.069314,0.109692&ie=UTF8&ll=56.228276,-3.412371&spn=0.034687,0.054846&t=h&z=14)

It means going through Kinross and Milnathort first, then turning off on the road to Glenfarg just after you join the A91. Lot of nice corners on that road, especially between Glenfarg and Aberargie. After that it re-joins your route on the M90 at Bridge of Earn.

I know the thread title is Sunday Bimbles, but I'm sure you've done Saturday ones. So which day is it?

rainy in the morning but it turned out nice and sunny down the borders (decided route on day)... never done that many miles but the ones we did do were quality.... good amount of stops for cuppa's and a nice easy pace to the day. i for 1 enjoyed today's ride verrry much.

thanks again peterco, blue flame and darrensv650s your company was much appreciated...

[peterco]

Turned up just before 10am,had a coffee then went into Edinburgh and bought a leather jacket and trousers at hein gericks.
Went home and change into the leathers and out to Aberfeldy via the sma glen and ontowards dunkeld and perth and back home via Dunning Glen,began to rain then.
The leathers seem OK,

:rolleyes: ok i was in the car with the family

[DarrenSV650S]

What's the plan for sunday then :)
I've got a new chain ordered so hopefully it should be here and fitted by the weekend

[Bibio]

haven't the foggiest m8... might come up your way depending on the weather...:smt017

looks like i'll have to wait till next weekend to see pete in his nice sexy new leathers....:smt049

[Kate SV650]

Are you just gonna tag along on the Hizzy run?? I hear if you are at the start and go in by Knockhill, Joe Public gets to take their bike around the track for a couple of laps?? Obviously, if you meet up at the Forth Bridge meeting point, you will have missed it!

[Bibio]

hhhmmmm, forgot about the Hizzy run, suppose i could go along the road for the start. after all its not like its far away from me..lol

[DarrenSV650S]

Won't be going tomorrow. Bloody chain still hasn't arrived!

[svdemon]

I quite fancy this knockhill crack, anyone getting involved?

[appollo1]

i wont be going as my tax ran out on the bike.

[tosher]

I quite fancy this knockhill crack, anyone getting involved?
I think I'll give it a whirl . You going to kirkcaldy ? I will probably go to the Dundee meet at 7.45 .Anyone else ?

[Bibio]

its looking like its going to turn nice 2morra... i might persuade someone to let me out... wont be going on the hizzy run though... to damned early for me...

[sephy666]

i can make it tomorrow. i finally got a sunday off work and i have money left XD

[svdemon]

its looking like its going to turn nice 2morra... i might persuade someone to let me out... wont be going on the hizzy run though... to damned early for me...

Whats going down then bibio? Drying up outside.....

[svdemon]

What about a little South Queensferry jaunt?

[sephy666]

wooops. I forgot to wake up, ach, sooooooo tired still.... i ama going back to bed :(

[Bibio]

thinking about saturday this week coz sunday looks like rain. all depends on how my arm feels, its been really sore lately.

usual place usual time.

[DarrenSV650S]

I suggest a run to carnoustie with a chain tool ........
And then a little later we can go elsewhere! lol

[appollo1]

don't forget the airshow is on and the traffic will be a nightmare around fife. also the roadworks in dundee wont help

[fenjer]

Bibio - is it still half 9 for 10?

[peterco]

It is.

[svdemon]

What you thinking Lance? I'm keen for this, i need some inspiration to stop me boozing on sat night!

[peterco]

What you thinking Lance? I'm keen for this, i need some inspiration to stop me boozing on sat night!

where would you like to go ?

pete

[svdemon]

Cheryl Coles house

[DarrenSV650S]

I recommend Carnoustie. Entry costs 1 chain tool

[svdemon]

I'm up for a run to Carnoustie for some DIY chain repair! I dpn't have a chain tool though :(

[DarrenSV650S]

Angle grinder?

[svdemon]

No bike shops near you?

[DarrenSV650S]

None I can trust! Well I could try Stewart Butcharts but I think I'd rather do it myself if I can

[svdemon]

Buy a chain tool and do it yourself!

[DarrenSV650S]

Yep I think I will look in to getting one. Either that or get complete chains and remove the swingarm since it's bearings will need greased anyway

[svdemon]

Not a bad idea - I stripped my K3 and one bearing was seized solid. Well worth checking out!

[Bibio]

i'm gonna be late tomorrow well ermmmm today then... cant sleep so will probably sleep in if i do get to sleep... if i'm not there just go your run and i'll phone pete and find out where you are and catch up.....

i will try to be there on time....

[Kilted Ginger]

insomniac ;)

[svdemon]

Anyone out on Sunday?

[appollo1]

not me again as i am cleaning up all the mess left after the airshow today.

Lovely ride out yesterday to Spittal with Peterco met up with Bibio and they headed off to Peebles...

Great run Pete - really enjoyed it... just typical that no-one else made the only run of the year I've managed! :)

[appollo1]

anyone out to play this weekend? Saturday or Sunday or Both!!

My wife has gone to her mums with the kids so i have a free weekend.:smt023

[DarrenSV650S]

I'll probably be going on a run with the taysidebikers saturday if I get up in time. Heading for Fort William. Leaving dundee at half 8 !

[Bibio]

bit of a disorganised sunday this week folks... will have to go into edinburgh in the morning to get my brother. then depending on Appollo1 heading up to his to start the run. so it will be about 12-1ish before i get to Appollo's house. this has not been finalised so might not happen.... will post rout later...

[appollo1]

not able to make it out on a run today. i've sent you a text Bibio and you are welcome to stop by still if you want. sorry for the short notice.

[stuartyboy]

No idea how to get in touch with you bibio. If you read this then I've pmd you my mobile. I'm up for this run. You bwill need to go bu SQ on your way.

[Bibio]

will not be attending any sunday bimbles for the foreseeable future.

this does not stop anyone else from organising a bimble in my absence...

have fun peeps and take care out there, winter is coming...

Lance


p.s. on the very odd occasion when its such a cracking day and depending on if my insurance company cancels my insurance i might just cave in and take my brothers duke out...

[peterco]

S Queensferry for 10am tomorrow

pete

[appollo1]

i'm going out for a wee blast tomorrow but wont be able to make South Queensferry I'm afraid.

Will probably head towards blairgowrie way.

[peterco]

Ended up in Braemar,had a roll and coffee and headed back via the Lecht(2090ft above sea level),very blowy up there.Came into rain at Grantown on spey and over drumochter again blowy over the top.
Arrived home at around 5.20pm, 300 mile round trip.

[Bibio]

[dawn07]

Any of the westies up for a Sunday bimble?
Wasn't too cold yesterday, but had the thermal longjohns on [very sexy!]:D

[svdemon]

I'm not taxing my bike until March at least providing its a bit warmer! Bibios sunday bimbles just wouldn't be the same without you!!!!

[TheRamJam]

I'd be up for that even just to the Carbeth Inn for some Tea lol. Haven't been out in 2010 yet i'll also be missing the first Ice Cream run in March this year. Itching to get out on the bike...:smt051

[Bibio]

hi-de-ho ecossers.

the bibster is back on the road, at long friggin last :-)

soooooo the sunday runs will resume in 3 weeks. so you all have plenty of time to get organised.

there will be a slight change to the arrangement as our Carelesschucca has planned a run on the first sunday of every month http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=163977.

will post the route up on the thursday/friday before the next run.

same time 10am'ish same place mcdonlads at south queensferry, leaving for about 10:30am.

[fenjer]

Awesome - been looking forward to these resuming! :)

[appollo1]

:( have fun and stay safe folks

hopefully i will be able to join you in September when i get back and get my bike serviced.

[gerbrox]

will try and catch some of these too.

[Sally]

Gives a shout if you guys are heading out to the Hungry Highlander :) Any excuse for fish and chips :p

[Bibio]

might head up that way in about 3 weeks.

[Bibio]

First new bimble (sorta)

i've spoke to Dicky Ticker and he has said its ok for people to tag along on Sunday 22nd May. soooo i was thinking of making this the launch of the new bimbles.

there will be a slight change to the norm as the run will start from the Allanwater Cafe in Bridge of Allan at 10-10:30am and end in Mcdonlads Alloa. you can drop out at any point on the run or just do a partial run.

the total millage of the run will be roughly 235-245 depending on any changes to the route on the day and i recon about 8hrs all in inc breaks.

Route (rough):

please put your name down only if you are a defanate for going:

Bibio

[peterco]

Will be going

[The Guru]

I might join everyone to Inverary and cut away and head up to Crianlarich..

[Artful]

Would have loved to have went but looks a bit of a whopper for my first run.

[Bibio]

cool :D

Would have loved to have went but looks a bit of a whopper for my first run.

nothing like jumping in at the deep end ;)

don't worry the pace on my bimbles is a bit more sedate than chuccas :rolleyes:

seems The Guru might drop out at Inverary back to Stirling so you could always tag along with him back home.

[Artful]

don't worry the pace on my bimbles is a bit more sedate than chuccas :rolleyes:

your sedate might be my insane :smt103

only one way to find out though

[suicidesam]

your sedate might be my insane :smt103


Will be going

Think you'll be fine, Pete doesn't like to go fast up that neck o the woods ;)

On a more serious note, You ride at your own pace. I'd only been riding about a month before going on my first big Ecosse run and thoroughly enjoyed it :D

Can still remember picking up my SV 2 hrs after passing my DAS and nearly having to change my underwear after riding it home! Used the bike every day for a week just to get used to it.. Get the miles on it man :cool:

[Artful]

Great advice, I'm working on it :D

Think I might give it a bash

[carelesschucca]

You should. Just ride at your own pace... In reality the other riders won't be that far up the road and as a rule they'll always wait for you...

Bibio - you're a pain ;-) thats basically one of the routes I had planned for the start of next month. There is another option so that will probably be posted instead :)

[Bibio]

ooooopppppsssss :( soz m8.

buuuut its that good we can do it twice ;)

[Artful]

Where about in Fife are you Lance. If I can manage to go I can tag along behind on the way there.

[Bibio]

i'm in kirkcaldy m8.

i'll be leaving my house at about 9am. if you want i can meat you at the KDY end of the standin stane road (car wash/caravan park) or the first lay-by after the KDY west junction on the by-pass.

[Artful]

The Car wash carpark sounds good to me. I'll keep you posted.


cheers

[Bibio]

heads up folks.

the forecast for tomorrow is wet, cold and blowing a gale.

so to be perfectly honest with everyone i thinks its going to be a no show.

this does not stop anyone going along that wants to go.

i will wait till tomorrow morning and look out the window but i fear that its going to be like today which in my books is no fun.

i will txt those of whom i have their numbers.

Lance

[peterco]

Where did you get your forcast from??

Tomorrow is fair with scattered showers,temp 12c, south westerly breeze
