Sunday 19th August 0900 Camberley Tesco to the coast!

[Thunderace]

Ok then;

Daddyjob has volunteered to lead this outing,
no doubt it will involve somewhere on the coast for brunch,
possibly a stop for a cuppa later on and fuel stops when necessary.
If needs be will add a stop to pick up others, possibly Alton Cafe or Loomies.

If you want to start somewhere else TOUGH!
If you don't want to go to the coast TOUGH!
Please don't derail this thread with nonsense!

Just want to know who's in?
If you're not gonna come there is no need to post to say so!

Apologies for the aggressive tone but sometimes there is more chat than details, lets try to keep the bulls**t to a minimum!

One nice clear list of names please!;)

If somehow I managed to get a new wheel and get my callipers rebuilt (might not bother with that) by next weekend, I'll be there. Slim chance though!

[The Idle Biker]

Ahem, cough: Fallout, you can borrow my GSXR750 K1 front wheel. It comes in tasteful white though.

you'd better get those crash bungs fitted mate

[Fallout]

It might not save him. There's a good chance I'll slam straight into the back of one of you at about 100mph due to no brakes.

[Jammy]

Marvellous.

[Tomor]

You may want to get some petrol mate!

[Spank86]

the roads have quite enough petrol spills as it is, better to keep it on empty.

We do generally have to fill up half way round too, so may need to steal a tenner from mum's purse. :-P :D

Come on a little drizzle never hurt anybody!;)

[DJ123]

I'm 50/50 for this atm. Suspension woes! New shock is fine as is moving/cutting a few bits to get it in. Upon removing the joint that attaches to the frame/shock and dog legs i discovered why the back felt unstable-the bearings in the frame mounting side had collapsed and seized. So i've ordered a kit to replace all the bearings in that section. Hoping to be OTR by the end of the week and up for Sunday. Will keep you updated!

[Spank86]

That's what you get for taking pillions.

;)

[DJ123]

she weighs less than me! I prefer this to an oil leak any day ;)

It's more 70/30 now. Awaiting the arrival of bearings tomorrow, which should mean i'll have it in one piece by the end of tomorrow night.
Need to get out on it prior to the weekend to check the suspension is working right.

Mate I set mine to track settings on Sunday, now its so solid it's dangerous on imperfect tarmac, got some tweeking to do tomo'!

[DJ123]

yeah sounds like it! I'm hoping the new rear shock will transform the handling now the whole unit is new, refitted and much more adjustable. I'll be tweaking it on the next few rides to fine tune it

[Jammy]

When thunderace means 'track settings' he means the back is stiffer than a peado in a playground....


I'm so nervous about this rideout, not gona lie lol

[DJ123]

No need to be nervous mate, Thunderace will dissappear and meet us at the junction ahead, Spank will follow him, Fallout may follow them if his bike is alive, i'll bimble along as usual

[Jammy]

What is actually wrong with fallout's bike..

[DJ123]

a better question is 'what's right with fallouts bike' ;)

[Jammy]

Waheyyyyy, better save this for an hour and 28 minutes, he's got the right to be contented for now :D

[Spank86]

Unfortunately I'm watching motocross that day or I'd be there giving thunderace a run for his money.

Everything always happens at once.

Only on the twisty bits!

[Spank86]

They're the only bits that count ;)

[Fallout]

Jammy, I have a load of issues, but the show stopper is the front brakes. My wheel and/or discs are warped, so last ride out they were .... interesting. Had it all apart at the weekend and am now borrowing a wheel from The Idle Biker to finish my diagnosis! If he lets me, I'll keep hold of that wheel for the weekend (assuming it fixes the problems) and come out on that before I return it and buy what I need to get the bike sorted.

Apart from that, I have a leaking alternator gasket and wiggling clutch lever. Have the spare parts now. Will change the gasket on the next oil change and will change the clutch lever when I can be arsed.

Hopefully I will be out to face death again this weekend.

[Jammy]

did you know this when you bought it...or have the problems developed with your interesting riding style

[Fallout]

Spotted quite a few problems when I bought it, like minor fairing issues, old fork seals, chain+sprockets on their way out, but somehow completely missed the fact it has been low sided at some point. Big old scrape on the alternator cover. I was there with Laurie and we both spotted different issues but both missed that.

Would've walked away had I seen it. I think what's happened is it's changed hands a few times recently, and each owner has fixed a few bits, then got fed up and sold it on. Hopefully I'll be the last owner to do that. Once the front wheel issue is sorted, the rest should be standard maintenance work, fingers crossed.

[Jammy]

The joys of buying privately... My Sv650 had been lowsided, dead moths everywhere, spiderwebs and a completely fused sumpplug that i'm going to have to drill out. nothing as life-threatening as warped brakes though..

I'm now 90/10. Bearings are now pressed in, tomorrow will be bolting the shock on and double checking all the clearences and bolts are good. Then tweeking the suspension to suit me!

[Thunderace]

Happy days Fingers crossed!

[The Idle Biker]

What route are you planning? I'd rather not go to Camberley from my place just to ride past my area again on the way to the coast.

Prefer to pick a meeting point if poss?

Happy with that mate where do you want to meet? I don't know my way about too well yet, only been back in the country since May!

How about Loomies or Alton?

As for route planning, that was down to Daddyjob, but feel free to lead if you like coz if I do god knows where we'll end up!

Okey dokes. I'll be at Loomies at 9.30-9.45ish.

We'll talk about who does what and where we going at the time.
I'm the worlds worst rideout planner, don't rely on me for anything :smt009

I know how to get to Wittering on the Coast, anything else is a lottery :confused:

Tony K knows the way to Brighton from any start point in the UK! Tony u r leading.......:-)

[tonyk]

idle biker if you can take the lead to petworth, then i'll lead to brighton via some err interesting roads....and via a tunnel.

[Thunderace]

Wooooo! Sounds like a plan forming gents! What with tunnels and such!:smt041

[Jammy]

Thunderace cross me off, respray hasnt worked that well so consulting with the sprayshop, may need to strip the fairings again.

You big girls blouse, half my fairing is held on with gaffer tape and your worried about the finish on your paintwork, how many times, there is no shame riding a tatty bike, plus I don't think the spray shop will be open Sunday!:rolleyes:

Probably best Jammy doesn't come, otherwise it will destroy the illusion. Like Dan he is just a digital person; a figment of our imagination if you will. I know Winder has apparently met him, but how many times has anyone ever seen Winder? We saw him once ... or did we? So long ago now, he might not be real either.

I don't even know if I'm real any more.

[Jammy]

HAHAHA. I'm only saying this if the paintshop take in the fairings and redo them...if not, i'll come.

[Fallout]

Isn't it just your lower fairing being resprayed? Can't you just ride without them like all other SVs? ;) Oh no, that's Dan isn't it? It'd be so much easier if you both resprayed your bikes at different times! ;) I'm so confused!

[Thunderace]

HAHAHA. I'm only saying this if the paintshop take in the fairings and redo them...if not, i'll come.

I'm not entirely sure, but does a sv work without a fairing?

[Jammy]

the whole bike got resprayed fallout. And i dont know how i'd attach the indicators and such thunder, lol just readd me to the list and put 'if he stops being an obsessive oaf'

[Thunderace]

You dont need indicators that is what hands are for!

Failing that I'll be behind you anyway, you won't need to indicate in the middle of the pack! I don't bother when riding in a group unless leading or riding last!

[Fallout]

LOL! Behind him for about 5 minutes until I overtake you and flip you the bird! :D

[Thunderace]

It maybe more than Si's funeral if he's not leading. He'll rear end the bikes in front ;)

Not if he uses his rear brake on that thing, he'll be facing the wrong way before disappearing into the bushes!

Still in.

Still in if I can sort these foopin brakes!

[Jammy]

Been to the paintshop today and the boss admitted one of the painters didnt put down the primer layer right so they are re-respraying all my plastics, so no rideout D:

Can you summarize the possible meeting points Nath with times and I will googleize them and decide which one I'm going for.

Sure can.....

Camberley Tesco petrol station 0900

Alton train station 0925

Loomies 0945

Take your pick!:thumbsup:

[Fallout]

Ok. Kind of going passed Alton, but looks way too complicated to get there. 1 way systems and roundabouts and ****. I'll just meet you lot at Loomemasters.

BTW, I will be wearing shorts under my trousers. It's gonna be FECKING hot tomorrow. Just letting everyone know so that when I strip off and am all cool, you lot don't go "OH! That's a good idea.". Well, you have no excuse now. Do it!!

You're going to Brighton ... Commando will be fine just park up towards the marina end of the beach. The inaugural GM naturists ride-out.

[Thunderace]

Are we all ready then?;)

Home safe and sound.
Thanks for a lovely ride down to Brighton. Thoroughly enjoyed the ride and the company.
Now, to jump in the bath........

Enjoyed the different route down and the little detour towards portsmouth on the way back ;)

Thanks guys, see you all out again sometime soon!

[Thunderace]

Nice ride today gents, especially enjoyed the convoluted route to Brighton!:-D

Doubt I'll be out and about again 'til after the Bodmin weekend, need to clock up some brownie points with the wife! :smt051

I may however get away with a quick blat to Loomies on Wednesdays!:smt115

[The Idle Biker]

Really enjoyed that stretch on the way out from Brighton on the dual carriageway and then onto the fast lanes through Henfield.

Cheers for waiting in Petworth Nathan. When we got to Petworth I decided to split and take the short route home and then I realised nobody had seen me go. So I doubled back and found someone waiting while the rest of you had fecked off!! He he.

Good ride Gents, loved it!

[Fallout]

Yeah was good fun, nice day and good company. I figured you'd be heading off home Laurie! Good day out. Nice to have working brakes. Now to add a working chain.

Will drop you a msg Laurie when I can return your wheel!
