West Coast - Ayr Rideout

[SIII]

I believe the EK contingent are still meeting at McD's at 8.30. Weegie will probably be along soon to confirm.

Anybody else signing up for this Sunday's run?

MBK - that is SUNDAY, not SATURDAY!:rolleyes:

I am planning to be at Dobbies for 10.00am

If your going MBK, which way you riding up? If you are going over the top thru Dalmellington wanna meet up?

[Milky Bar Kid]

You seem to do a lot of night shifts or is it just a crap rota?

Unless like me, permanent night shift :smt015

A third of my hours are nightshift hours. So yeah, a fair amount of nights I suppose.

I would probably be going up the A714 depending on the weather. If weather bad through to Stranraer and up the A77.

[WeegieBlue]

I'm still trying to win the wife over on this one. I'm out on Sunday night for a gig and she's implying that if I go out on the ride and also go to the gig she'll not see me all day. I'm still trying to get my head around what the problem is there..... :)

[SIII]

SUN, SUN, SUN:D
Looks like it might be sunny on SUNday!:smt026

Come on Weegie, either turn on the charm or you could always be an absolute pig and she'll be glad to see the back of ya!

Going over the top MBK so I'll see you at Dobbie's at 10.00.

[gedt5]

i'm still up for this but jims had to drop out.

i think i'll meet yous up at E.K. on sunday morning rather than wait like gerry no mates up in strathaven.

just let me know if anyones leaving from there.

[WeegieBlue]

I reckon I'll win her over. The in-laws have our son on Sat night so I'm thinking I'll cook her a nice meal, chuck some wine down her neck and then scarper early doors. By the time she wake up I'll be long gone!

[WeegieBlue]

Yay!! I'm in!!

Although I'm having new tyres fitted tomorrow. I'll have to bit a bit careful but this is as good an opportunity to scrub them in as any I suppose.

[gedt5]

nice one mate.that must be a good lassie you've got there.:kiss:

what tyres are you going to get fitted ?

[WeegieBlue]

She's not bad ;)

Getting bt023's as I heard they're good in the wet and good commuters.

Do you commute on them? I do 40 miles a day on mine so hoping they don't square off too badly.

[gedt5]

i commuted on bt021s and i thought they squared off quite quickly.i was doing 35 miles a day.

the angels are said to get 7000 miles out of a busa or gixxer and are very hard in the middle and soft on the outside.
i've been very impressed with the angels and i'm getting right over with only about 1-2mm left on the chicken strips.i'm not commuting as much as i've downsized the car from a 2.5ltr to a 1.2
.i have put 6000miles on the bike in 10months and changed the factory bridgestones after 4700.
there was plenty left on the sides but the middle was well below the limit.

[WeegieBlue]

My current ones have loads of edge but are literally at the canvas in the centre! The guy I bought it from had already squared them off and I've done about 1000 miles in about a month and I've not been shy with the throttle. I'm gonna give the bt023's a pop and also try the Avon storms that everyone loves - I bought a set off an orger for £100 so worth a shot. I'll try angels after that as I can see me going through some amount of tyres at this rate!

[Gixxer1]

Hey guys, just to let you know I may be able to make the ride out this sunday cos the superbitch EX wife is bein an awkward beitch about me seeing my kids, (long story) so if I'm not seeing the little ones I'm defo up for it :-( missin the 2 girls like hell tho.

[Gixxer1]

Oh and the tyre thingy, you canny beat bt016's for out n out sports riding, bloody awesome, I'm running bt014's on the zzr n they seem ok so far, 380 miles so I'll wait n see how they last, prob no bloody long lol.....

sorry jim your not aloud to coment on tyres because you have a zzr thats going to eat tyres.you wont have a set long enough to form an opinion:thumleft:

[Gixxer1]

New bikes bloody great, so much power it's scary, surprised how I can still throw it round the bends wi it being a bigger n heavier bike, need a wee tweak of the suspension tho.

Yeah gerry your prob right about the tyres no lasting but heyho, thats the joys of super fast :-)

[WeegieBlue]

I might not be coming along now. Struggling to get tyres and I'm a bit worried about the baldness of my rear tyre. Gutted, but prefer to be gutted rather than get 3 points or lose the back end on the twisties.

If I get anything sorted I shall post back but at 1525 on a Saturday afternoon I'm not overly confident.

[SIII]

[SIII]

Who's meeting at Dobbies in Ayr @ 10am tomorrow morning?

[gedt5]

just like SIII i need to know if anyone is meeting at E.K.

i'm going to have to get up at 7am to get ready and be in E.K. for 8-8.15 but i'll have a long lie if its a no go so get posting guys and gals.
also jim is defo not going so dont leave me gerry no mates.

gedt5.........east kilbride...............8am

[buckstone]

Dobbies for me. Living 3 miles away means I've no excuse for being late !!!

[WeegieBlue]

I'm a definite no. Can't risk it on that back tyre. Gutted.

[gedt5]

this looks like a no go.
i took a gamble and went to E.K. this morning but no one arrived at mcds so i went for a wee blast and am now back home.

[buckstone]

Well, SIII and I are enjoying a scone in Newton Stewart. No-one else made it. You missed a fine day for a run, guys ...

[SIII]

Just back from a brilliant ride out. You guys missed a crackin' day. 169 mile round trip, Ayr-Newton Stewart-New Galloway and then I went onto Moniaive. :cool:

Will post photo's once I work out how to!

Can anybody tell me how to make them part of the post as opposed to attatchment?

Parked up @ Moniaive, had a pee and bought a pie from the shop:D

(boy, did THAT take some doing!)

[buckstone]

As SIII said, it was a great run out. The weather was brill, the roads were great (apart from the climb out of Girvan - who surfaced that road ?), no traffic and a nice coffee and scone in Newton Stewart.

Hopefully, we'll see you next time. In the meantime, a couple of pics. The first outside the coffee shop in Newton Stewart - the SV Ecosse (pointy black section) -
