My sentiments exactly ;)

[stuR]

And as long as im not brining up the rear..still on 33bhp so overtakes are a bit few and far between ha

[Spank86]

We'll always wait for you but there are a couple of roads where the unrestricted lot will want to be in front till the far end.

[stuR]

Damn this restriction ;) What time roughly will we be finishing and whereabouts?

[Spank86]

How long you got to go restricted?

[stuR]

Til mid august.

[Tomor]

It's ok. My sv is also restricted ;)

[Spank86]

Til mid august.

Not long then!

[stuR]

Yup not long indeed. Had a gsxr600 in the garage since nov as it was too good a bike to pass up. Luckily a freind has insured himself on it so it has had one ride, and should get more with better weather. Trying to sort out the rear brake atm as it is almost no existant.

[Spank86]

Sounds familiar, fallouts GSXR has the same issue (among others) I believe.

[Beetrootkiller]

So how many of us are actually on SV's or are we going to be smothered in triumphs? ;)

[stuR]

Ah right good to know. If i come, ill be on a cb500 :P

[Spank86]

So how many of us are actually on SV's or are we going to be smothered in triumphs? ;)

There's only ever three triumphs and they've never all been there at the same time.

There might be none, you never know but there still won't be many SV's.

[SvNewbie]

I may come along depending on how the weather looks in the morning.

Will help to redress the Triumph to SV ratio!

[Spank86]

Looks terrible out there at the mo. if its still like this tomorrow I won't be leaving the house.

[Fallout]

Same. I've had enough of riding in the rain and will no doubt have loads more next week, so I won't be going out if it's moist.

[Wideboy]

the weathers not looking to amazing :neutral:

[dirtydog]

Too damn wet for my liking

[DJ123]

So shall we play this one by the weather then? I'll be up early doors tomorrow watching the Grand Prix, so will update my yay or nay in the morning. It is looking like rain all night right into tomorrow morning, so maybe a bit of local flooding.

[Spank86]

Likewise.

[stuR]

Think i will be giving it a miss this time as weather still looking wet and plans changed slightly. Must order the weather in advance for next time..

[The Idle Biker]

Sorry guys gonna bail on this one. Had a call from Getgered in Leatherhead and am going to pick up new Held back/chest protector. Not convinced I can fit it under my leathers though! Need a diet!

[Fallout]

I will be collecting and building flat pack furniture.

[DJ123]

The weather looks much better out there than what was predicted. I'm up for a short bimble out today down to Hayling Island.
Who else is in?

[Beetrootkiller]

What's a short bimble?

How long you expecting to ride for? I may well be in!

[DJ123]

As in an hour or so (from Loomies) Then maybe a slightly longer way back up that to Loomies after a bite to eat/drinks

[Tomor]

I'm up for it but won't get to loomies for 10.

[Beetrootkiller]

Sorry I'm going to have to pass its 100 miles down to you.. When we have better weather and a longer day planned ill attend :)

[DJ123]

I'm up for it but won't get to loomies for 10.

read again, 10:30 :rambo:

No worries! We will be doing longer days soon now the better weather is here. As usual we will be posting up the ride thread for it, so keep your eyes peeled!

[Tomor]

Yeh whatever. Was going from memory, didn't scroll up :)

[DJ123]

Tell yourself 10, so that when you are inevitably late you'll actually be on time :lol:

[Spank86]

I'm in.

[SvNewbie]

I'm up for it but won't arrive at loomies until the back of 11. If you guys don't mind hanging around that'd be great. Otherwise I'll have something to eat and keep myself entertained!

[Tomor]

I won't be there until 1040. That way I have until 1055 then I'm late ;)

[SvNewbie]

Right, just getting gloves on! Should be there by 11.

[Tomor]

Shocker I'm late. Just kitting up.

[Spank86]

I'm here, only one though. Got the peg down on the ace briefly.

[SvNewbie]

Some idiot in a BMW 1 series was giving me grief on the way home. Kept sitting up my backside while we were stuck behind that escort vehicle. Eventually he decides to undertake me (still stuck behind a wideload being escorted), I give him the stare and head shake which really ****es him off for some reason. Starts beeping the horn and gesticulating about something.

Eventually we get passed the escort and he's giving me flashing lights and sitting up my backside (I was doing a significant fraction of one light year per year at this point). I just slow to the speedlimit and force him to undertake me and give him the middle finger as he goes passed. Let him go down the road and have an accident which doesn't involve me.

Crazy cagers.

[tonyk]

WE need a number plate list of all the drivers that put us in danger....
hope everyone had a good day..

[Winder]

When you say he undertook you does that mean you were in the right lane and he went past in a traffic free left lane? That might be why he was ****ed off? I hope he didn't under take you on a single lane as that is mental and the tosser should be shot in the face with a cannon.

I do find people are starting to tail gate a bit more these days, where I would normally just roll off the throttle I tend to lightly press the rear brake to warm them I'm slowing. And, it does tend to be BMW's and Merc's that are the worst for it.

[Fallout]

When I get tailgated I just hit the caltrop release button. Sorts them every time.

[Winder]

I can't just imagine a distressed BMW driver at the side of the road with one of your panniers halfway through the windscreen. That'll learn em

[Wideboy]

let them get passed, then in traffic punch their mirror off and ride off into the sunset feeling smug

[Wildkid]

I was about at loomies today, was quite busy to be fair, shame some tit dropped his bike as he rolled in! Oh the embarrassment!

[Spank86]

It wasn't kickstand was it?

Sounds like the sort of thing he'd do.

[Wildkid]

Nope some bloke on a faired bandit. Felt sorry for him to be fair.

[Tomor]

but did you go to help him?

[Wildkid]

No because I was over the other side and about 10 people had already jumped in before I could even sneeze

[Tomor]

Biking community at its best!

[Mark_h]

That'll be 8 pointing and laughing and the other two filming it for youtube.

[Wideboy]

I remember the shirt woman trying to do a 3 pointer on the main road last year. No on helped everyone just watched laughing and shaking their heads as to why she chose to do it in the first place. I must admit it was funny as she took ages and caused all sorts if traffic related problems

[Fallout]

What exactly is a shirt woman?

[Wideboy]

You know what I meant. At least when I miss spell something its a genuine reason and not because im addicted to meatspin like you
