Anyone fancy a ride down to Brighton on Monday?

[TCochrane]

Seeing as its a bank holiday and forecasted to have brilliant weather, anyone fancy a ride down to Brighton?

Times and meeting places undecided

[tonyk]

As it's the yearly Ace cafe to Hastings run, that day you should have clear roads to Brighton,
Not too sure weather Hasting or Brighton.
What time you want to meet and where…

[TCochrane]

Can meet anywhere at probably 10am or something like that?

[Tomor]

I'm working 10-3 but would be up for something straight after.

[Jammy]

I'll get ribbed by tommor for this, but... yes. I'll come

[Sir Trev]

Quarter end so I'll be working all day cooking the books.

[Tomor]

I wouldn't have taken the **** if you got my name right god dammit!!

[SvNewbie]

I was thinking about doing the Hastings run, but actually this might be a better bet.

Tony, which route do you take down? I done a long motorway run last week to Manchester and back and I think I've developed an allergy!

[stuR]

What sorta time?

[TCochrane]

What is a suitable meeting place for everyone?

Say meet at 10am?

[SvNewbie]

I'll wait to see what Tonyk is thinking about the route, but I'm sure Loomies to Brighton would be a reasonably popular suggestion. If it is from Loomies then later would be better for me, bit early to get all the way down there from Chiswick.

[stuR]

as above, 10am from loomies bit early for me.

[TCochrane]

How about 12 at loomies?

[stuR]

That suits me, count me in.

[TCochrane]

... does anyone know the route to Brighton from Loomie's? xD

[DJ123]

easy way, A272 is fairly good along that part.

Good luck keeping up with Tony, Stu! Tony, he is restricted, so don't have too much fun!!!

[tonyk]

Sorry Tom, 3:45 would be well on our way back from Brighton.

[Tomor]

Sorry Tom, 3:45 would be well on our way back from Brighton.

Boooo!! Will go out on my own then!

[stuR]

Sorted unless i hear from you on this thread otherwise or vice versa ill seeya then. Yeah go easy on me, im not allowed to play with the big boys just yet..but i do my best..

[SvNewbie]

I'm in no rush to get home Tom so give me a shout if you want to grab a bite to eat or something when you get down.

Tony, I'll meet up with you two out there (providing stuR actually shows up :P). Only adds 10 miles or so and I'm counting on you to show us some nice roads en-route. Also, go easy on me too, I'm not restricted, I'm just slow as ****!

[stuR]

I will show, im not THAT slow...:P

[tonyk]

I really wont say i'm fast, the way i ride you will think i'm restricted........lol

[Tomor]

I never said you were fast, just very progressive! ( and a bit of fast thrown in the mix)

[Spank86]

I really wont say i'm fast, the way i ride you will think i'm restricted........lol
You can ride very fast when you want to Tony... or possibly when you don't want to, it's difficult to tell.

[Fallout]

Tony is the only man who gets his knee down while pulling out to overtake. Nuff said!

[TCochrane]

Don't worry stuR, both Tomor and I are officially restricted too ;)

All agree on meeting at Loomies at 12?

[tonyk]

Don't worry stuR, both Tomor and I are officially restricted too ;)

All agree on meeting at Loomies at 12?

We'll meet you at Loomies at 12:00..........
Any other takers ?..

[Jammy]

Got to cancel im afraid, failed M.O.T today

[Spank86]

what on?

[Jammy]

front wheel is buckled, bearings gone

[Spank86]

what did you hit with it?

Or is that a legacy of your old throws down the road?

[stuR]

oops!

[Jammy]

Im thinking throw down legacy.

[Spank86]

no wonder you're falling out of love with your bike. a buggered wheel on a bicycle is bad enough let alone on a motorbike

[Jammy]

Its probably been one of a few reasons why i have no confidence on the front end. (other being, i'm ****.).

[Jammy]

I'm more irritated i didn't know about/check it earlier. One of a few things i didn't check before the test :/. Got no other advisories or anything. May invest in a front paddock stand or jack

[Tomor]

I know of a bike for sale 😁

[Spank86]

He's already got a bike with a messed up front end Tomor, he doesn't need a second.

[Tomor]

Oh sorry :(

[Spank86]

Now if you'd reversed into a deer we might be talking.

[Tomor]

Nah he is after a rear wheel aswell!! Should have gone in side on!!

[TCochrane]

so what's the headcount for loomies at 12??

[Murley.]

Unfortunately I couldn't resist the urge to work Monday (i know, lame), but I might pop to loomies afterwards. This won't be til after 6 sometime though. Actually, is it even open that late on Monday?

[Matt-EUC]

Come on guys it's a bank holiday! Turnout so far is looking pretty abysmal if you ask me!! Fallout, gav, spank are you guys going? If not why not.

[Winder]

Jam, buy the purple curvy in the for sale section, GSXR front end, sexy rear sets, twin exhausts and he'll do it for a grand. You could swap the fairings over for yours and flog your bike with the purple fairings on ebay for £800 no probs. New bike, all the best mods, with a years ticket and it'll end up costing you about £200.
DO IT!!!

[Fallout]

^ The man has a point.

Matt, I might go if I have nothing to do. Last minute decision.

[DJ123]

Why not. Me + 2 others
