If you can guarantee this and not stand me up, and not be slowed down by the typical woman make up doing shananigans, I'll meet you at 10am too. 11am is a little bit lilly livered for my liking! :smt045
I can guarantee this. If female companion stalls i definitely wont stall and give it the beans to loomies.

No probs Gav. An hour in your company waiting for the rest to arrive would be horrible anyway. Apparently water boarding has now been stopped at Guantanamo Bay, as have your visits. Both now deemed to cross the line into torture.

Cool, I'll see you there
Guys,
Not a regular on here (tbh never scrolled down this far in the forum topics to see this!) but my gf and I want a ride out tomorrow and never been to loomies so I think will try and head there for about 10.30-11am. Be on a silver 03 pointy and purple Kawasaki er5, if you spot us come say hi.
Assuming I can be bothered to attend tomorrow I'll head for Tesco.
quik_d
My naked silver SV1000 is a fairly easy one to spot (And hear) Thunderace will be on an old-school red and white thunderace. Jammy will be trying to get an orange SV back up from the floor somewhere. We should be fairly easy to spot.
Everyone else will probably be on something common or so new we don't know what it looks like yet.
We're actually a lot nicer than this forum can make us sound (Apart from Thunderace when he runs out of B6). Where are you based? If in the Fleet/Aldershot area, head for the Aldershot Tesco for 08:45 ish and join us for a ride towards Loomies.

Tom's going to the Oatsheaf for 0900, I'll txt him now and say Tesco 0845,
On a different note, due to the weather getting a bit nippy I thought I'd dig out my old leathers as they are extremely warm & comfy, well after 15 mins or so squeezing into them and nearly busting a blood vessel putting my boots on I've decided I'm to fat to fit in them any more. This realisation came to me when I had to get Mrs Ace to help me get the trousers off.

Yeah I've got leathers like that, I think mine must've shrunk in the 2 years that they've been hung in the "bike cupboard"!

Nope. Will ask. What's the deelio with other halfs? I could either not drink and head home early or get the other half to come and she can be dez. Either way, crashing at your house is probably a bad idea with responsibilities the next day and all.

Luckily it has now warmed to a massive 1 degree. How smug am I with my heated grips :) Just spent the last half hour fitting my hand guards too. Extra chilly ROCAs to be considered for today.

Interesting day. Nice to meet all the new (to me) faces, have a decently little jaunt along some familiar roads and then eat a Weatherspoon burger that was actually well made, and drink a Strongbow that didn't taste like pure sugar!

I was expecting it to say soup.
Was a pretty good weather spoons wasn't it and a very good turn out for the ride, especially so late in the season.
Great to meet/see everyone.
Excellent impromptu bimble.
15 bikes is not a bad turn out when it's sub-zero in parts.
Guess who managed to brake down on the way home ........
Stalled at junction. Restarted, revved to 5k then stalled. Sort of ran if you kept revs over 6k
Luckily I managed a road-side repair to get home.
I'll be posting something in the main forum to see if the "keen helpers" can diagnose what's wrong from the described symptoms. I suspect it will draw some impressively speculative responses.
I'll be drafting the appropriate points allocations later but given I'm hopeless can anyone fill in anyone I missed :-

Quite a few technical problems, with broken radiators, break downs, running out of fuel and the like. My speedo decided to stop working on the way home. I was doing clutchless upshifting and suddenly noticed it was reading 0 in 6th gear. Dropped it down a gear and it worked. Looked back shortly afterwards and it was 0. Then seemed to work on and off all the way home.
Since the gixxer has the speed sensor on the gearbox, I suppose it could be something in there rather than the digital display itself. I've had the front sprocket cover off recently for clutch cable and sprocket/chain changing shananigans, and it was properly grimey in there. Possible somethings come loose or my laziness in cleaning has come back to haunt me.

Not a bad turn out at all.
I did say beforehand that i'd only have a couple of hours spare ;)
Quite a few technical problems, with broken radiators, break downs, running out of fuel and the like.
and of course mine sounding like a machine gun! lol
A few of things taken from today are:
I really need to sort out the fuelling/air problem causing the banging.
Need to fix my speedo as it hasn't worked since I put the GSXR front end on.
My alpinestar gore-tex gloves dont fit me properly and dont keep my hands warm.
Ear plugs are no use when they are at home.
Glad you made it home Scooby! was a bit disconcerting that you weren't bothered about a load of steam billowing out, maybe you couldn't see it??
Was a good planned, re-planned, and re-re-planned bimble even if it was a bit chilly this morning. Nice lunch and thanks Ace for waiting for me after Mark turned off!!! Just saw you disappear into the distance!
Nice to meet some new face's and the old veterans. :)

Rictus01, -1 running out of fuel, could me more but your fuel light let you down.
+2 for fixing Scoobs rad' with chewing gum!:smt101
The Idle Biker, +1 for the speedy about turn and catch up on the 272.
Fallout, +1 for having faith in me that it was safe to overtake that tractor.;)
Mark_h, +1 for deciding not to bug out and staying for lunch, risking a chewing from Mrs_h methinks.
Thunderace, +1 for being responsible TEC.
-1 for nearly parking it in Mark's armpit on the 32.

made an interesting interlude to the day even if my fuel light decided to work only after the tank was dry, but many thanks to quik_d for the ltr of fuel to get to the petrol station, saved an hours wait for recovery and allowed me to do a few more hours riding after leaving you all, Scoob's glad you made it back mate and the gum held, Adam, nice job on the paint and Laurie bike is gorgeous (but then having owned one myself I would say that), from 7am to 6.15 pm, two fryups and a burger, 6 cups of tea and a pint (as well as my flask), 245 miles and put in £47.18 of petrol, that's me for today, done.
Cheers Mark.
