Back home too. Great ride, was a lovely day weatherwise. Good to meet you all (except Quiff). Only kidding, 2 days in a row with the Quiffster, it must be Xmas :D

[AndyL]

Did anyone manage to see my "almost off" during the ride? LOL

[CarlosSV650S]

On Cat N Fiddle? Coming down to Macc?

[christopher]

Me home as well, now to wash the bike down!

Ta for the ride and company all.

[AndyL]

On Cat N Fiddle? Coming down to Macc?

Yep, did you see it?

I think it was a naked silver sv behind me at the time. It was only a few corners before we got to the .org'er taking the photos by the side of the road

EDIT: by the way, I didnt realise that you were with us today MR_UKI, which bike was yours?

Yep, was me behind. You went up and down the nearside kerb didn't you? Missed the start of it, but saw you coming off the kerb.

[wilky007]

sorry i missed it
i was on the way when i had my off maybe next time if i can get it fixed

[CarlosSV650S]

what happened with your off m8 ?

[AndyL]

Yep, was me behind. You went up and down the nearside kerb didn't you? Missed the start of it, but saw you coming off the kerb.

Yep, that was the closest moment I have had to having an off since owning the bike, although it certainly tought me to ride at my own pace and not to try to keep up with the more experienced riders. Although for the 10 mins following it my confidence took a massive hit!

[AndyL]

I went into a corner too fast and stupidly pulled on the front brake which meant that I carried on straight up the kerb on the outside of the corner and then jumped back off it. Luckilly I didnt fall off!

HAVE DEFINITELY LEARNT MY LESSON [-o<

[wilky007]

what happened with your off m8 ?

I came off the m6 at the wrong junction and pulled to a side street and lost the front end on some gravel left hand side of the bike trashed need a few new bits for it so i can get back on the road

No shame in that mate, we all done it. At least it's a learning point with no harm done :D

[Brettus]

We are back safe too, Sorry for leading DaveP and Quiff off in the wrong direction, it made sense to be as I used to go through alderley edge up to the cat and fiddle so it kinda looked familiar but hey ho. thanks for pointing me in the right direction ;)

Was a great ride though, really enjoyed it, excellent scenery, nice roads, good company, what more could I want :)

Thanks Mister C, catch you all again sometime.

Shame about your off Wilky, get yourself roadworthy again, there will be another rideout soon no doubt! glad you are OK, thats the main thing at least.

Right, off to BBQ, have fun everyone :)

[AndyL]

Yeah thats true. Anyway it was good to meet you all, and I cant wait to see you all again. There are certainly some "characters" LOL amoungst you all that are a great laugh, im sure you can all guess who im talking about.....?

[bigspud]

[matek]

Im back safe too.



Big Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mister c]

Have been home for a while, but having massive problems with my pc at the moment.

Many thanks to the people that turned up, met a few new people & a few old ones (Quiff lol). Wilky, sorry you didn't make it down & hope that everything turns out ok. Andy, lessons learned are always a good thing, you know not to do it again :(, glad you were ok.

I have really enjoyed it, stayed together for most of the run, Brettus took a few on the scenic route :smt082 but, hey, that's what it's all about.

Once again, many thanks for a really good day.

[DaveP]
