Gravel rash, big bruises, and inability to walk.
Sitting on a bike for a few hours might be too painful. We'll see I'm not out yet.

any excuse to miss the march meat run,not being able to walk isn't a good enough reason to not come along,
hope you feel better soon mate,and if you can make it all the better
Ouch.
Well you have a few days to soak in the bath.

No satnav on my bike this time around, anyone know the route or has a satnav handy on their bike? I'd sooner stay toward the bike on big bertha this year...

If I make it, I've got the route on Tyre, but I don't know if I can upload it from Tyre.
That's if I make it :smt009

At least the weather will be good for the longer ride
Can you recommend a mount that a go in the 675daytona Head stock to the usual mounts

What does it look like?
kaivalagi
27-03-14, 08:28 PM
I used to have a ram mount that fitted in the top yoke nut of the SV, maybe something like that for the Daytona? from there: http://telferizer.com/
The 675 is listed, but the pic is for a sprint...you get the idea though:

Can you get them local (Essex)

No by post only
Don't know what I did with mine
Well I'm sure someone will remember the route.
Only had strap mount on the zx6 and some silly git chuckt that in the hedge last week.
I'll be on the 675 instead

Bugger, I can't make this now, as I have to go to hospital to have the dressing changed :(
Hobbling round like an 80 year old :(

As soon as your right well do another rideout Rich!
kaivalagi
28-03-14, 08:25 PM
Had a proper look at the 2 routes, the 80 mile one is what we want, it is the real deal past the pub of meat...the 107 mile route is the cambridge dash and is for another ride out ;)
I've got both ITN (TomTom) and GPX (Garmin) files for it, you can download them from here (in a zip): http://www.mediafire.com/download/28tvyq11dd4nqhf/March_Meat_Run_(80_Miles).zip

Cambridge Dash next then?
BTW, I have installed my Garmin mount on the beast tonight BUT I wont be leading! Not on that thing....I'll want to push it and I am not used to cornering on it just yet (no chicken strips mind you ;))...I want to stay in one piece!

28-03-14, 08:50 PM
Right you are, I have an ITN file for that somewhere from last time :)
I'll see if I can not light up each 30 speed sign we past this time around. How bad are you? Week or 2 and you'll be good for it?

Nope, but if you're referring to the meat run the original link posted is for google maps, that should get you to what you need.
If Tyre can make them then I could give you what you need, any of the types in the screenshot attached help?

Did a reccy today, the bacon/egg bap at the red lodge sorts you out, the pub we'll stop at is 30 miles from the end of the route and is called the Red Lion. The roads were nice, not as demanding on the rocket as I first thought they would be but some challenges for a 380kg bike, I definitely don't want to lead!....
Need to be careful on the last 10 mile stretch thanks to quite a lot of loose stuff in the centers of the lanes, it ment I had to ride in quite a narrow section of the road in places to feel comfortable in the corners. The route did take me through a little bit of urban roads about a 3rd in but that might have been my garmin / gpx file points, 5 minutes of it tops though.....also some speed retrictions are there that weren't last time I did it! Bloody 50 mph reductions...
Oh and the first waypoint is the other side of the road from the cafe (left of the road) so if you pull in before it for the meet and pull out after it it might not register it being passed in the route....might be be just removing the first waypoint ;)
1. Thunderace + 1 non orger (if that's ok

Or is it Paul in the frame =:s

29-03-14, 07:53 PM
I have no idea where we're going? I just turn up to meets and ride TEC.
No satnav, no map just bike + tarmac for me.;)
Right I'm off for some beerverages, catch you ladies in the morning!:D

29-03-14, 08:34 PM
Looks like I'll need to lead I guess, just bear in mind I'm not pushing it AT ALL, well maybe on some straight bits...

Well done for keeping the tradition of the Meat Run going.
Sorry I couldn't make it, but there's no way I would have been able to ride safely, after 3 days of crap sleep. Just spent the last 2 hours asleep on the sofa. :(
Well done guys

Great ride today chaps! Nice weather, good roads and a loin of pork! Bonus!:D
The pub was quite a find. Very friendly patrons.
Some quite interesting tales they had to tell.
kaivalagi
30-03-14, 08:06 PM
Yeah, a proper community pub...wish I had local like that! Bit of a trek for half a shandy though ;)
What was the name of that place the old boy in car park told us about, where the biker cafe was? Stedisham or something?

Yeah I didn't realise how close Braintree was to that area, let us know what it's like if you do go...it's an hour and a half for me to get to....might be worth a early morning ride out though for a 10am meet up...I'll play with google maps to see what I can make of the trip down :)
