Anymore for anymore?
Update:
Upon rummaging in various cupboards, have discovered that we don't have "a" blow up bed, we have 3, 2 singles, 1 double, a large sofa and plenty of floorspace.
@Fallout you figured out what your doing yet?
@Jammy, you coming for p*ssup or just the rideout?

Will ride back to your place after ride out, stay for a burger and beer and when everyone else gets sizzled I'll run away. :) This is assuming my bike actually runs by then.

Which is what he'd have done even without the wedding :D

15-10-12, 07:51 PM
Not true. Once committed after the first couple, I'd be in. House parties I can deal with. Would probably wake up about 6am and disappear before anyone else woke up though!
Im not sure Nathan. Dont worry about including me on your alcohol + food roster, i'll bring my own beverages if i do turn up :D

Must just be my house parties then.

Same oil issue. It's just seems to be taking longer to start in cold weather. Hopefully just a combo of cold weather,left standing for a week and lowish voltage in battery. Or it could be on it's last legs. If so, top end rebuild this winter! My cylinder compression gauge arrived today so will maybe take some reading tomorrow.

Get a battery optimiser on it.

i cannot attend, at least not on the bike anyway as with will be on the trailer.
why do you have to do this event on such a silly date
Fallout

Pleb! My bikes are always on the Optimate. That's the only reason I made it at the weekend. I had to turn it over for a combined time of about 2 minutes to get the beach going. :rolleyes: Probably wouldn't have had that juice without the optimate.

I remembered that advice when I went to get petrol, and then saw they only had 95 RON. :(
Spank86
15-10-12, 08:23 PM
Have you tried blowing hot air into the intake with a hair dryer?
Thunderace
15-10-12, 08:26 PM
Super unleaded when cold
This^
Check your plugs too, I know you've recently changed them but if your burning oil they could be fouled with soot.
Or buy a can of easy start and spray into air intake (remove filter first), in my world we call easy start WD40, but easy start is designed to do what it says on the tin.
Super unleaded if your bike is weak ;) Normal runs just fine in a strong beast any time of year
Fallout
15-10-12, 09:02 PM
Plugs will come out to check cylinder compression so I'll give them a wee ganders at the same time.
Super unleaded if your bike is weak ;) Normal runs just fine in a strong beast any time of year
I've found carbed things respond well to a bit more octane when the weather gets cold. These new fangled injection things seem a bit less bothered.
Easy start is magic stuff and smells great too.

Update:
Drinking games planned so far,
Drink while you think, a good old favourite that Job, Tomor and Jammy know well!
Viaduct, probably the most devious game known to man!
Cross the Bridge, nearly impossible!
and
Fuzzy Duck, if Carlsberg made drinking games they would probably be the noisiest drinking games in the world!

Need a bit of rabbit food! Salad + exercise stops you becoming a fat horrible mess and buying a Harley!:rolleyes:

Clare doesn't eat salad, nor hardly any vegetables. This is why she has the stature of a hobbit and joints that snap when she walks. Let that be a lesson to you all. EAT YOUR VEGETABLES! WE ARE NOT CARNIVORES!
Littlepeahead
24-10-12, 03:39 PM
I don't eat salad but I do eat lots of veg. Just not peas, sweetcorn, peppers, aubergines, courgettes, marrows or lettuce.
I have lots of spinach, squash, mushrooms, carrots, brocolli, cauliflower, and fruit.
I don't really eat a lot of meat so you can't call me a carnivore. Occasionally some chicken, the odd steak, but no pigs because as you know they are CUTE and CLEVER.
Fallout
24-10-12, 04:59 PM
But you eat dolphin, whale and chimpanzee, so I think you're a hypocrite!

Don't forget Marks Idea for a contribution fee, feel free to bring extra booze.
Scrumpy ;] ive got a taste for it now lol

@Daddyjob, no need to go south to pick up Gav as he's not coming. So we can do a run past the Inn if Fallout, Spank and Jammy want to meet there?

I'm down! Estimated weather is dry but brrrrrrrrrrrr. Look out for ice early on. I might bring my infrared thermometer which I found whilst hunting in the attic for props. Then I can take measurements of road surface temperature before we tackle each corner.

I didn't get it word for word, but it's certainly in English! Go to 1:20.

Guys I’m on night's this week, I’ll try my best to come over.
If I’m not there by 09:30 then please don’t wait for me….
Apologies in advance.
can we start a bit later, let some of the ice thaw a bit?
Fallout

I think the man proposes one of the rare reasonable excuses for starting late.
I too agree with this, it's going to be near zero on Friday night, and a huge 7 degrees on Saturday.

was just looking where you were off to, but can't see a route anywhere, I'm in Didcot in the morning, but should be free after that for a few hours riding, but as said, no route ; no rendezvous possible :smt102

Not sure of the route, Daddyjob is sorting that, all I know is its gonna be a short one, about 100 miles or so and back at mine for 2ish, but if you fancy popping in for a burger let me know and I'll pm you my address!;)

Slight change of plan:
10:00 at the Oatsheaf Fleet.
Departing for parts unknown.
Returning to Casa De Ace circa 14:00
Food and beers ready for 3ish.
wrap up warm, look like it will be quite cold!

Oh I thought you were making a day of it (riding wise that is), I've had a bit of a bad week, I was looking to balance the books with a couple of tanks of juice, so will probably do my own thing, but I'll be popping in to Guildford later on so PM me your address and I'll stick my head round the door on my way down there.
Cheers Mark.

I'm going to wear the sumo suit.
Route is good for tomorrow, as Thunderputter said. About 100 mile round trip. Stop off halfway for a bite to eat and then the return journey.
FILL UP with petrol before we start!!!!! (Fallout-Oil as well)
Fallout
26-10-12, 07:22 PM
I won't be able to do 100 miles as I'll be doing 20 before I turn up so will need a stop half way round. Plus even if I make it I will be riding home in the evening and dont want be be fannying about on fumes at night when I don't know where I am. Oil should last me though! :D
There'll be some petrol stations on the way there/back. surely your bike can do 140 miles on a tank?

100 miles between full and fuel light, dependant on riding style. How much between fuel light and conking out on a back road is anyone's guess! :D
Even the Thunderace can do more than that! what size tank is on the shed?
I think it may be the way he rides. Too many races! Doesn't say how much from light to empty. Could be 80 miles :)
Count me in for the rideout but out for the BBQ for now. College **** has caught up with me.
Out of interest where is the route heading roughly?
Thunderace
26-10-12, 10:53 PM
130-160 in the Ace from full to light, even riding like a total **** it'll do 120! Seems to me the little 750 has to use a touch more go juice to keep up!:smt115

Or you've got a bigger tank. I only get 112 to light and less than 130 to pushing.

19ltr tank on the Ace, and your bike doesn't count coz its mental! You have to use a lot of fuel due to how much air it's sucking in!;)
Weather looks good for later on today, where we are and where we are going. The roads on the way there will be good for a nice gentle bimble while the roads defrost!!!
Sorry guys. Just got back from a month and a half in Gibraltar. Nathan sent me a text yesterday about this ride. The weather looks lovely but it's feckin freezing!! I am also unstable on the bike as I haven't ridden in ages. I also have to pick the wife up from work later.
Basically, all of the above says I am a big girl. I could maybe meet up later for a bit, but right now, I am literally just too cold. :smt115
I need to aclimatise!!
sam anon
27-10-12, 08:16 AM
Right, I'm confused, is this ride 100 miles, or 4 hours?
If its 4 hours I'm not coming, if it's 100 miles, and therefore around 2 hours plus a bite to eat, then I am coming!
2nd Nathan its glorious sunshine @ mine, first time in a week that the light has actually woken me up.
