E.A.R. March Meat Run Questions?

[GooseTotoro]

Hi All,

My name's David, I joined the forum a couple of days ago. Another forum member, maviczap, mentioned the E.A.R. March meat run and said I might be able to come along which would be great, if possible. Anything involving a meat raffle sounds like a good day out.

I have had a quick look in the E.A.R. forum but couldn't find anything specific about it for this year? I'm probably just being dense so my apologies if this is a pointless thread but I had a couple of questions if that was alright:

1. As a fairly novice rider would I be able to keep up or do you really need to know what you are doing with your bike?
2. Could a mate come along who rides a GSXR or is it an SV thing only?

Oh, and just thought I'd chuck this in. Mine is the Silver:
13489

Thanks!

Oi Mr Thicky ;)

The previous years threads have disappeared, probably Skip the mod tidying things up.

Q1. Yes, its not a knee down fest, in fact if you can ride on farm tracks & over temp wooden bridges, its a big help.

Q2. Yes, GSXR's allowed

I'll start a thread nearer the time.

There is no 'might be able' to come along, you WILL attend!

Silver is the best colour, but only if its a curvy :thumleft:

You'll have a good time Goose, it's a great route and if you get to the cafe early they do a nice greasy fryup

Defo not an Sv only deal, they're normally well out numbered...I'll be on either a Ktm or a Triumph :p

[clarke135]

i might be able to come along, currently over germany with the army but out next month! finally freedom!

[maviczap]

The more the merrier

Can you guys remind me about this nearer the time as me and Mr LPH might join you. I never win anything useful in competitions (a Smurfs LP and a racing bike suitable for a 6ft man when I'm a midget spring to mind) so since I don't eat pork I'm bound to win a massive ham or a packet of sausages.

[kaivalagi]

I'll certainly try to remember LPH, we can post an invite into the Essex Lounge too..

I've found 2 routes from the past, one slightly longer than the other, for reference here they are:

I'd go for the longer one ;)

[maviczap]

If you join us from the start LPH, you can always peel off on the southern part of the route

Nope not guilty!

Welcome :)

Hopefully the Meat Run will go ahead - I have the heart wrenching decision of a day on the bike or a day with my family so will have to see nearer the time.

Get on it Dickie so I can put something in the calendar ;)

[Skip]

*routes and stuff*

Oooh that longer route looks familiar! I think the Hornet needs to experience those roads :)

[Thunderace]

I'm working weekends all through March so need dates ASAP so I can book holiday!;)

You wish is my command, a poll thread is now in place to get a date established: http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=207008
