AR2013 Tender annoucement

[LewSpeight]

Don't be a wuss! Although I admit, if there's chance you might be ambushed by some of that southern lot then you might have every reason to be worried ;)

Surely theres someone else who's passing this area or something? I cant be the most northern rider going?!

I'll have to go down with some form of defensive mechanism, incase i find any unfriendly alien like characters who dont know anything exists other than them from down 'sarf.

[LewSpeight]

[The Idle Biker]

Top man :)

Daddyjobs idea of MTFU is not actually that manly, you'll be fine ;)

[LewSpeight]

haha! Have the thrill of the meet i presume is the ride down there! I mean, we're all on this forum because we like riding, right?

Well there is one more person further north than me, than its Scotland.

I'm oot as I'm away in July for a UK jollie

[LewSpeight]

hmm.. SUCKS.
Prioritise man!

[Bibio]

i might make it i might not. depends on weather TBH as i don't fancy riding 500 odd miles in the pizzing.

[andrewsmith]

Ahem Isle of Man trumps AR (Sorry lads, cracking bid though)

[LewSpeight]

Lance, its England. Surely on the way down you're gunna hit rain, aswell as sun and snow and hail and meteors and flying drunk humans, the list goes on.

[The Idle Biker]

Don't you worry mate, I'll be there. I'm determined to rebuild a couple of mini motos for a bit of racing action in the camping field and a bit of side bet action yeeeeh hah!

Well wide boy's on it for the lovely young lads and fallouts here because he gets bored at home pretending to have a job but for the rest of us... Sure... That's as good an excuse as any.

Ib I have a mini moto that needs repairing, I'll bring it along

Ha, I'm giving myself 6 months for 2 and thats pushing it. Lets hope a few more knowledgeable orgers are there.[-o<

[Bibio]

well 300 miles takes me to around Wrexham where i could stop off in a B&B then a nice leisurely 170 odd miles the next day.

[LewSpeight]

est. fuel cost - £104.. Please tell me you have a friendlier input to that price?!

[Tomor]

Bib, you could fly and borrow my spare bike? ;)
p.s love the lack of motorway :)

[andrewsmith]

Thats the way to do it

[Bibio]

it's ok my bike easily does 200 miles to a tank so at £1.40 a ltr £50 to get me there :-)

borrow a bike.. hhmmm is it midget sized. lol

errrrr DL650??? Maybe not :( or my sisters lowered fazer 600. thats quite small.

should this be the same for mine?

[Bibio]

no fun flying. i like to stop off and sight see hence the lack of MW.

if its a full power twin spark SV650 then yes.

[LewSpeight]

how does the ecu restriction effect fuel?

[andrewsmith]

should this be the same for mine?

Nope!

Lance gets stupid MPG!
I get 50mpg being gentle, cracking on like at GMV 37mpg or going totally loopy 27mpg

[LewSpeight]

how Lance HOWWWWW..

[Bibio]

i'm 5ft feck all and weigh 11st.

it's all to do with riding style. smooth and progressive with no cracking the throttle wide open on straights and no slowing down for corners. i also keep my bike in tip top condition. don't know if the suspension has anything to do with it but if it does then yes i have some very nice suspension.

before you say it no i don't ride like a wuss.

You couldn't keep up with Chucca and me at GM (and you were marking ;) )
Lance does ride quick, but the bike is fully sorted

[LewSpeight]

Ah i see. I weigh 12 stone.. What are the main things to maintain that will effect fuel?

[joshwalker094]

Nope!

That'd what its like for me, 50ish mpg doing 70/80mph on motorway with the odd blast to keep me awake. Then 100ish miles to a tank (13litre) when commuting to college everyday have had a 80 miles to 13l but I was bombing it mixed with college and stop starting.

[Bibio]

yes but Dean is a different kettle of fish and just poetry in motion.

[andrewsmith]

Touche

And mental fun to follow

[LewSpeight]

Damn, i wish i'd ridden with you guys! I feel numb and hopeless when you all talk about how people are like to ride with haha

[Bibio]

Ah i see. I weigh 12 stone.. What are the main things to maintain that will effect fuel?

brakes, tire pressures, regular oil/filter changes and tune ups. brakes being the big one.

[LewSpeight]

Phew. I'm doing most things right then, what do you mean by 'tune ups'?

[andrewsmith]

Brakes are a must. I've spent the last year with naff ones through one thing and another
They will be evil next year

[LewSpeight]

Best way of checking they're all okay?
Sorry guys, im just a complete n00b but very eager to learn

[andrewsmith]

Best its to strip and clean the calipers every 12 months as a maintenance item (the tockio twin pots on SV's are good when kept clean). Also if there is rubber hoses on swap them for braided lines as they give a big improvement for 60 quid (front) and 25 rear

[LewSpeight]

Yeh i bought mine with braided hose's already. Is there always a noticeable difference in performance, or just when it comes to servicing?

[andrewsmith]

from oem rubber to braided there is a big improvement as the pressure is more constant.
When I service mine, I know when mine are due as the response of the brakes is slow for the input (at the lever). A brake service never goes amiss especially if your unsure of condition

[Spank86]

errrrr DL650??? Maybe not :( or my sisters lowered fazer 600. thats quite small.

So remind me, why do you never bring her to rideouts?

Mark_h would love to meat her.

Answered your own question there spank!

[Thunderace]

Motorway? What's wrong with you man?

Got stuff to do once I get there, Motorway = maximum miles/minimum time, a boring but necessary evil for me that week!

[Bibio]

i soooo want to come to this AR...

[Fallout]

i soooo want to come to this AR...

You need to come mate. I need to show you how to service your bike properly, because obviously I know a lot more than you, and my screwdrivers are better. :mrgreen:

[Bibio]

my screwdriver may be small but works just fine. but if you show me yours then i'll show you mine and we will compare chewed tips :-)

[Fallout]

You're a sick man, and this is why you'll be most welcome! :D

[Bibio]

funny my doc told me the same thing to which i replied 'i know i keep thinking of doing the mothernlaw' to which he replied 'no you have heart disease'.

[tigersaw]

Went to the meon hut today, the pub field looks good
https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-xuzE-JmtCCM/UOBynmRCrNI/AAAAAAAAAns/KTalRR-ldVY/s640/IMAG0010.jpg

Well drained and tidy

[Tomor]

Should have said! We were there around 11 then headed off into the wilderness.

[tigersaw]

Ahh, this was about 3:30pm and I was just exercising the trail bike

[Spank86]

Did you park up at loomies, Fallout and I were back there somewhere about that time, maybe earlier.

[tigersaw]

No, I parked across the lights in the long lay-by, just to take a look at the camp site, then turned round and went home again.
Was on a Black / silver trail bike.

Nice to see it not submerged under water. Let's hope it stays that way.

You coming John?

[chris8886]

i should hope you are!

[Sid Squid]

MTFU and get on with it :p
The man makes a good point.

on this forum because we like riding, right?
You might have thought so, but considering there are some who won't go 'cos the meet is more than 3/8" from their house, perhaps not.

[admin]

I hope to. The June date suits me better, than the recent AR's in the school hols. I haven't seen some peps in a long while.

[Littlepeahead]

But if you are also free last weekend in August then there is another rideout at the AR12 site. Hope to see you there too.

[orose]

And no doubt there would be others now that the AR is in place - lots of people wait to see when that is, and then arrange the calendar for the rest of the year around it.

That was our plan. We'll be at the AR of course, but the site in Essex is a good base for a ride and the pub are happy to have us back again so we thought we'd open it up to all.

[fizzwheel]

Any objection if I move this thread into the AR13 section ?

[NTECUK]

But should the AR13 stand apart ?
As long as they its in a ride out forum then it's the right place

[admin]

I've no problem with that. Only put it here in the first place for maximum exposure.
