Wednesday 8th August 1900 @ Loomies

[Thunderace]

Ok who's up for it then?;) What about you noobs you in?:rolleyes: I promise I'll ride sensible!:smt096 If anyone wants to meet en-route let me know!:smt064

Bear in mind, if I get called into work I will be disappearing quick sticks!:smt021

[TCochrane]

I'll be there! First time though so be gentle!

Watch out for my 04 SV650s in copper half faired :)

[TCochrane]

Also.. how do you get there? xD I'm coming from Guildford

[Tomor]

Possibly, depends on how tried i am from work as i am in tomorrow :( and possibly the weather ;)

[Thunderace]

Also.. how do you get there? xD I'm coming from Guildford

Follow A31 towards Winchester, after Farnham near Alton you'll come to a roundabout signposted A32 Petersfield take that exit, follow your nose and you can't miss it!

Or meet me @1815 at Aldershot Tesco petrol station and I'll lead you there!;)

[Thunderace]

Don't start all this, oh its raining nonsense again! Its infectious and has ruined many a meet!:lol:

[Wideboy]

maybe, i have some stuff to do tomorrow when i get in so i'll see if i get that done in time, plus weather aswell

[TCochrane]

Probably best to meet you at aldershot tesco petrol station

What time?

[Tomor]

don't start all this, oh its raining nonsense again! Its infectious and has ruined many a meet!:lol:

hehehehehe

[Thunderace]

Probably best to meet you at aldershot tesco petrol station

What time?

Say quarter past six? That cool with you? Ill be on a red & white thunderace!

[TCochrane]

Yeah that's cool, see you then!

You saw the post about what bike I'll be on, right?

[Thunderace]

Ceratainly did 04 sv650s copper colour, catch you tomo matey!

[Fallout]

Looks like it should just be overcast tomoz and not hammering down, so should be in. I'll make sure the mrs knows now!

[Fallout]

Are you actually riding Nathan, or you turning up just to look at your phone in a paranoid manner?

[Thunderace]

Are you actually riding Nathan, or you turning up just to look at your phone in a paranoid manner?

Will definitely be flapping over my phone but fingers crossed, no call out!:joker:

[Fallout]

If you get a call out, I don't mind you going pilon on the back of my bike if you need to get back quickly.

[Thunderace]

Cheeky! If I do get called out you could race me back!:smt064

[Fallout]

If we did that, one of us would definitely lose oil pressure and break down. Let's be sensible and keep it under 150.

[DJ123]

i maybe there

[Tomor]

i will be there

Corrected for you :) when do you miss out on a ride!!??

[DJ123]

i maybe missing the Wednesday meets if i get onto the College course i've applied for!

[Mark_h]

Say quarter past six? That cool with you? Ill be on a red & white thunderace!

If I can get away from work AND it's not wet I may see if I can join you at Tesco. May even have some wigglage to add to the route to Loomies unless you plan on just being boring and going down the A31.

I've got a satnav case thing that clips to your bars that you could stick your mobile in so you can keep an eye on it if you want while out.

Don't wait about for me though as I'm a possible rather than a probable at the moment.

[Fallout]

Where is this Tesco on Googley McMapperson?

[Tomor]

Where is this Tesco on Googley McMapperson?

[Fallout]

Pah. Was considering meeting you lot there first, but 'arrsed' and 'can't be' come to mind.

[Thunderace]

Ok so who's meeting @ Tesco?

1. me
2. Tcochrane
3. Possibly Mark_h (depending on work/weather)

Any others?

[Spank86]

If we did that, one of us would definitely lose oil pressure and break down. Let's be sensible and keep it under 150.

I'll race too, that way you'll have spare oil if needed.

[Bordtea]

Might make an appearance if I'm out of bed by that time...

[Thunderace]

Should be dry this evening, who's still up for it?

[Fallout]

Yep. I will eat my own arrse if Dan goes.

[Mark_h]

Don't we need to swap bank PINS, tax disk serial numbers, shoe sizes, mothers maiden names etc to make sure we are actually capable of meeting up? All a tad ad-hoc just agreeing a time and place isn't it?

I'll have my SV-GM barrage balloon tethered to my grab bar to make life a bit easier for the organisationally challenged members.

[Fallout]

Don't take the **** Mark. There's no way any of us will spot you with that level of peacocking. Don't be ashamed. You don't have to be subtle.

I will be the guy doused in petrol and on fire.

[Spank86]

I will be the guy with the jerry can of petrol and massive grin running away from the scene.

I mean, no I won't that'll be someone else, I'm busy washing my hair.

[Thunderace]

WHOOOOOO! I've got cover for callout tonite so no rushing around or panicky glances at the phone!

[Wideboy]

Oh go on then you've twisted my g-string, I shall grace you with my sexyness*, I'll be the one in the yellow banana hammock.


*Providing it doesn't precipitate between now and then

Cmon Mark twas only a suggestion, as posted " Just Thinking" apologies if this ruffled any feathers! I shall hang my head in shame!:notworthy:

[Fallout]

Fight between Nathan and Mark!!! Mark can use a baseball bat. Nathan can use a small numberplate sticker.

[Thunderace]

Don't forget I was in the A Team, give me a small sticker and leave me unattended, next thing you know I'll have a flying tank!:smt068

[Thunderace]

Yep. I will eat my own arrse if Dan goes.

I'm beginning to think this Bordtea character is just your alter ego, as he is never at rideouts and you always are.

[Wideboy]

It's Pi55ing it down here

[Thunderace]

Sky is clearing up nicely here!:)

[Wideboy]

I'll wing it, see what happens when I'm home as its only 10 miles from loomies

[Bordtea]

On second thought loomies might be a bit far... Alton might have to be my boundary ;)

[Thunderace]

Surprise Surprise!:rolleyes:

[Mark_h]

Could always go to Alton instead. Fewer people so shorter bacon butty queue. I can take you as many miles as you want to cover to get there. Does miss the A32 though.

[Thunderace]

How about Loomies 1st to meet Wideboy, Fallout and any others that go there without reading this first then to Alton + twiddly bits. (was planning on showing Tcochrane Loomies then suggesting Alton once there.) I do have all evening so I'm easy either way!

I take it you suggesting the change means your'e up for it then?;)
If so are you meeting Tcochrane & Myself at tesco?

[Fallout]

This is getting SOOO complicated. OMG, where is my sticker?!?!

[Fallout]

I assume we're stopping in the layby btw, as per usual? And not in the rammed impossible to escape from alcatraz loomies itself?

[Thunderace]

Loomies 7 o'clock as per thread title?????????:smt018

[Bordtea]

Weeeell if you do head down to alton cafe let me know as I've just about got the petrol for that ;)

[Mark_h]

Homework for ride :-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWH_QiXw5n4&feature=related

Countersteertastic stuff!

[Fallout]

I'm parking in the layby. I'll be available to help lift other bikes out the way when you try to leave. :P

[Wideboy]

I won't be going to alton, how long you staying at loomies?

[Thunderace]

Weeeell if you do head down to alton cafe let me know as I've just about got the petrol for that ;)

Will be there say 8 o'clock ish!

[Wideboy]

Ah yiou guys might aswell just go to alton no point coming down to loomies just for me and then back up, I'll come out to play another time

[Mark_h]

About 73,000,000 flying ants have just taken off from my front garden. Gonna be some splatting going on this evening. Take some visor cleaning kit with you.

@Fallout - No need for you to bother as they can glance off the back of your lid as they're not too quick.

[Thunderace]

Ah yiou guys might aswell just go to alton no point coming down to loomies just for me and then back up, I'll come out to play another time

Wer'e comin' down to show the noob the way!

@Mark you still meeting me and Tcochrane @ Tesco?

[Wideboy]

Nah i'll give it a miss, catch you guys next week

[Wideboy]

Actually scrap that I just walked out the garage to see the nice weather, worth a trip to loomies

[Mark_h]

@Mark you still meeting me and Tcochrane @ Tesco?

'Tis the plan. Need to go in the store and get some cuddly Olympic characters first.

[Thunderace]

Cool catch you all in a bit!:D

[Mark_h]

Cool catch you all in a bit!:D

You can try ......

[Spank86]

I'll be at loomies anyway.

[Bordtea]

Right well im down station cafe... anyone coming?

[Wideboy]

they where on their way when i left them at half 7, taking the twisty route

[Bordtea]

Right well ill wait for a few more mins then haha

[Bordtea]

Stayed til 8.25 but couldnt find any of you so gave up :(

[Spank86]

There was an incident.

We accidentally got sidetracked with a very fun road... Twice.


Sorry mate, we had the best intentions.

[Mark_h]

Sorry, we were well intentioned but then I got lost in Petersfield and rather than drag everyone round town several times to find the right road I decided to take a sedate scenic view over the downs instead.

If it helps I then got lost on the way home too. Missed my turning off the A3 somehow and next thing I knew I was in Guildford.

Thanks folks for a fun evening, the chap in the Audi seemed well impressed with the Hindhead tunnel shenanigans! sorry we didn't get to have a brew and sorry Bordtea; but to be honest nobody expected you to turn up anyway!

Met some new faces tonight and was good to see our newest newby Tim is making amazing progress for someone who still has wet ink on his license.

[Fallout]

Cheers Mark. Next time I say yes to Loomies, please everyone say "CLEAR VISOR, YOU DUMB TOSSER" or whatever offensive term you wish to use. I had to hug cars all the way home to see anything. Not fun. And I have sore balls.

[Spank86]

Previously we've been home by 8, I almost wore the tinted one myself, it was only because I was thinking of riding home from Alton that I didn't.

[Fallout]

Yeah, I think last time I went to Loomies on a wednesday I did use the normal visor, but it's been a while, and I forgot. Won't make the same mistake again. Would like some headlights too though.

[DJ123]

Si, try getting some new bulbs 1st. The ones in there maybe so old the gas has burned off and the element is buggered

[Thunderace]

Cheers Mark. Next time I say yes to Loomies, please everyone say "CLEAR VISOR, YOU DUMB TOSSER" or whatever offensive term you wish to use. I had to hug cars all the way home to see anything. Not fun. And I have sore balls.

How close did you get to these cars? If it made your balls hurt I'd say your too close!:rolleyes:

[DJ123]

He was humping his bike on the way home

[Thunderace]

He was humping his bike on the way home

lol! Its those slightly ghey orange wheels! They can turn a man you know!

[DJ123]

he was already turned before he had the orange wheels :lol:

[Fallout]

Gixer seat is comfier than the SV seat, but position seems to crush my man globes more, especially when I'm riding at 30mph behind a van as it guides me along pitch black roads.

@Job - Yep, jobs to do:
1. Fit new bulbs, sort out electrical issue if that doesn't fix it
2. Sort out brakes. Bleed, and possibly braided lines later, and possible caliper rebuild if still having problems. Not fun.
3. Chain and sprockets coming up v-soon.
4. Sort out the fairing bracket mount I snapped today
5. Keep an eye on fork seals and rebuild if they leak (looking ropey)
6. Replace crankcase gasket on next oil change, if oil leak persists
7. Sort out rear brake as that's also a bit spongy

Not much to do then.

Lose job number 7, its just there to add weight!

[Fallout]

I put it down as the last priority on the list just for you mate. ;)

[Wideboy]

Concentrate on making it go fast then worry about stopping later. You could always add some speed holes to it, that can help.


On another note, I believe job new forum name should be phanton-fiddled due to his laybye obsession. Either that or keen-dogger...... Discuss.

[Spank86]

doggieJob?

[Wideboy]

Lmao

A genuine snigger from that one

[Fallout]

I vote DoggieJob! Or HandjobHinsley.
