[PyroUK]

Is there a petrol station nr the holiday inn?

I am currently seeing if my body will have recovered enough to partake!

[Fallout]

Yes, right next to it.

[PyroUK]

Awesome, makes life easier! Cheers fallout!

[Matt-EUC]

Holy ****! Just read the first post again, we're not meeting at Loomies?! I'm gob smacked.

[DJ123]

We meet at Loomies when it is suitable for the ride we are going on. No point heading to a meeting point that is South, when we are heading north ;)

[Fallout]

Woohoo! Ride out to Scotland!

[DJ123]

Woohoo! Ride out to Scotland!


Shhhh! It's a surprise!

[Matt-EUC]

Hang on, Spank isn't coming. It's not going to be p1ssing it down.

[Sir Trev]

Shhhh! It's a surprise!

It would actually help some of us to know where you're going. I won't be able to get to Basingstoke by 10:30 but may be able to pick up with you later...

35/ pyro - possibly, still pretty achy so will see how I feel when I wake up and if ok will pop up and see you at the inn. If not ok will update you to let you know!

[SvNewbie]

Damn, I was rushing home from Scotland in the hopes of having a nice ride tomorrow. Instead I'm now stuck in Crewe train station until at least 8.30 tomorrow, so not back home until 11am or so. Depending on how tired I am and what time I make it home at I may give TonyK a shout and see if I can blast along the motorway and meet you somewhere along the route.

[PyroUK]

Ill be there. Hopefully I won't get lost!

How much wine did you have last night ;)

[SvNewbie]

I'm in the same boat as Trev. If someone could fill me in roughly what the plan is I'll try to catch you enroute.

[Sir Trev]

How much wine did you have last night ;)

Not that much - honest.

May see you all later if I can get away. Have fun.

[Pete7]

Tony rang me to say they are beside the seaside and about to have a massive lunch in Harvesters. That should test the suspension on the way home then ;)

[PyroUK]

Cheers for today guys, was a lovely day and a good ride. Hope my pace was ok on the way to lyndhurst, never lead that many people before and was trying not to split everyone up again!

[Tomor]

Cheers all for a good day out. Pyro it was fine, only when me and fg1 didn't realise wideboy was leading and we shot off 😬 all re-grouped and was fairly smooth back to loomies. Si, can you let me know about the footage?

[Wideboy]

my face! its burning!

[DJ123]

Good day out, enjoyed that a lot. I'd call that our first proper summer ride out.

[PyroUK]

Good to know! Was annoying there was so much traffic heading in to lyndhurst! Shame we couldn't take some other roads which are a bit more interesting! I am still building up my internal map of the forest so not sure of all the routes! Hopefully will get some good ones nailed this summer so next time you lot are down this way it can be a bit more interesting!

Glad you sorted it out, otherwise you may have had a long ride in the wrong direction!

Job, does last bank hol not count?

[DJ123]

Kinda, all i really remember from that day is the traffic at Brighton :lol:

[PyroUK]

Ah yes, that.

Ok we can disregard last bank hol!

[Wideboy]

i can show you plebs some routes through the forest, trouble is its usually like it was today at the weekends if the weathers nice, always full of tourists

[PyroUK]

Excuse me, I am not a pleb! I am a cretin!!:D

I know routes through the forest, just not necessarily in any kind of order or useful for getting from a to b.

[tonyk]

A grand day out lads, nice meeting old and new faces.....
The roads were good .
Too much traffic ?. Swings and rounder outs ...well it was bank holiday....lol.
Cheers guys.

[SvNewbie]

Thanks guys, I enjoyed the bit of the ride that I made it to! Cheers for waiting for me at the seaside, hope it wasn't too long. I wouldn't have been in a great mood at work tomorrow had I not had my bank-holiday blast around some country roads!

[Wideboy]

i use plebs liberally :lol:. i'll show you some nice little routes some time, if I'm about :confused:

for those interested i think this was the rough route for today (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr=Unknown+road&daddr=51.257257,-1.1053812+to:51.2339714,-1.3141812+to:51.0929891,-1.7560449+to:50.7338321,-1.8182502+to:50.7204191,-1.8423319+to:50.7401278,-1.8093067+to:Unknown+road+to:Bargates%2FB3073+to:R omsey+Rd%2FA337+to:Romsey+Rd%2FA31+to:Southampton+ Rd%2FA3090+to:A3090+to:A272+to:A32&hl=en&ll=51.060386,-1.090393&spn=0.851019,2.705383&sll=51.034054,-1.131592&sspn=0.05322,0.169086&geocode=FTAUDgMdA4bv_w%3BFakfDgMdGyLv_yk59AL_HyJ0S DH3540Xng0cAA%3BFbPEDQMde_Lr_ykFDFYZNht0SDESG5fibY 7UHA%3BFf2dCwMddDTl_ykh3ALlj-5zSDHb__bpeWdgVg%3BFQgjBgMddkHk_ykl_VK5Jp9zSDGf8po WX9R2Pg%3BFaPuBQMdZePj_ym9fds8bJ9zSDEctCBMeo6d5g%3 BFZ87BgMdZmTk_ylXxUoj155zSDH3qnRgRTM3Nw%3BFXqaBgMd O1fk_w%3BFR8rBgMd8tnk_w%3BFXpCCAMdSvHn_w%3BFUNWCQM d8Yjo_w%3BFUoJCgMdPkLp_w%3BFSD7CgMdK2Dr_w%3BFXELCw Md4c3s_w%3BFeqmCgMd1Jbv_w&mra=mi&mrsp=14&sz=13&via=1,2,3,4,5,6&t=m&z=9)

[The Idle Biker]

Cheers Guys, good ride. Sorry I had to leg it away a bit early after lunch. Had a boozy BBQ to get going. Now I got to back to it. Look forward to the next one.

[FG1]

Thanks for a lovely day out everyone.
I'm glad I decided to turn up.
Looking forward to seeing some video footage of the day.

What happened to you at the end?

[Fallout]

Enjoyed it for the most part, except for needing a **** during both stints and also having brakes from Hades. Otherwise a nice little journey. Need to clean that radiator as the bike gets hot very quickly and is basically caked in mud. Gonna post a thread actually, cos that's now I roll.

[ClunkintheUK]

Good ride fellas, Thanks.

Sorry if i held the show up occasionally with some overtakes, don't usually get the chance to overtake much in the big smoke. Not above 10 miles an hour anyway.

[Matt-EUC]

Down a gear or two, full throttle, keep the front end down (LOL!), and you should make it through most gaps.

[Wideboy]

Maybe you should try that then from some of the close shave dodgyness I saw


Oh snap

[FG1]

I waved goodbye because my daughter lives in Winchester so, as we were heading in that direction, I thought I would give her a call and see if she was free. As it happens, she wasn't.......lol

[Jason H]

Good ride guys. Hope I wasn't riding like too much of a [Enter Expletive of choice]!?

Also looking forward to some footage...

Didn't see any issues mate. Just a smooth sensible ride. You did nothing of note, which can only mean a good ride IMO. Apart from my fishtailing pull away at those lights and the front wheel skid in the gravel when pulling over to mark, there were no other moments and definitely none with traffic, and that's how I personally judge an 'accomplished' ride, so I was happy. :D

[Spank86]

.

No, you were fine.

[ClunkintheUK]

and the front wheel skid in the gravel

Yeah, those are always brown-trouser moments.

[PyroUK]

Did anyone get any pics of us at all during the day that they would like to share?

What a glorious day…..oh that lovely blue sky…roll on summer and more ride outs…Fab day out guys.

First pic "at the sea side"
Second pic "doing a job..err where we ?"
Third pic "meet n greet"

[Jason H]

Tom & Si...

Any luck with that footage from the day?

[Tomor]

Si has all my footage....

[Jason H]

Si has all my footage....

You sure he hasn't lost your itty, bitty SD card that went in his wallet?

[Fallout]

Yeah, it's fine, but tbh I can't see Tom doing any editing! Nout too eventful happened (which is a good thing) so wouldn't make a good movie. The good thing about Toms mounting point is you get a good view from the bike and lean angles, but the bad thing is you don't see any faces or conversations, arsing about, etc. which for me makes a good movie unless its a power fest through quiet sweeping turns. Helmet cam all the way IMO!

[Tomor]

Will have to buy another then!!!

[SvNewbie]

I'd still be interested to see it, boring as it may be!

[tonyk]

I'd still be interested to see it, boring as it may be!


Yea + 1

[Tomor]

Ill do a quick edit when I get the card off Si

[Fallout]

He has the card. Now let the bullying begin! Where's the vid Tom, eh eh? Where's the vid? Come on!

[DJ123]

Tom, Tom, Tom, where's the video? huh? Well? Where is it?

[SvNewbie]

Haha, I was going to 'bump' this today too :)

[Tomor]

Ermm uhhh on my pc :)

[Mark_h]

Well you have the day off today so crack on!

[ClunkintheUK]

Well you have the day off today so crack on!

He probably is, though maybe more video watching then editing.

[Tomor]

Working today. Boss is on holiday so I'm working :(

[Fallout]

Excuses, excuses. It takes a certain resolve to do video editing. HIGHLY TEDIOUS! If you do a decent cut, there will be a tea and a tickle in it for you.

[FG1]

Come on then Tom. Get your backside in gear and let's see the vid.

[Tomor]

Doing it at the moment, I think i need a faster pc....

I think i may just put all the mildly interesting bits into a long vid and speed it all up with some music over it

[Tomor]

Spent 4 hours last night editing and ****ing around (didnt realise it took that long!!!0 then lost the first half of the footage. Will finish tonight and upload to utube

[Fallout]

Welcome to the world of editing my son. Welcome. When I saw how much footage you had all I saw was a world of pain, and I allowed you to march unwittingly towards it. What a bad friend I am.

it was looking really good aswell! oh well, just look to the light at the end!!

[Mark_h]

Tell you what Tomski to make up for you not coming out to play on Saturday I'll drop any captured footage round for you to edit so you can see what you missed out on.
