AR14 Convoy East Cost

[NTECUK]

I've chartered a separate vehicle to bring my "Glampping tent and equipment. ;)

[Matt-EUC]

Looks like I'm slogging it alone. Will meet you at "D" at noon-ish.


Edit: where is the meeting point at D? It looks like an RAF base to me.

Edit Edit: Which route are we taking now? The twisty one or the direct one?

I'm not at Farmyard this year, so I might rock up - will be a last minute call though, as we're making a big push at work to get some stuff out.

[kaivalagi]

Good stuff, Are you sure though, Andrew seemed to think it's compulsory for MAG members to attend ;)

Will be good to meet you if you do go....I'm keeping a close eye on the weather though, not travelling all that way if it's ****ing it down! Not so bother on the return journey though....so if it stays like currently forecasted it's all good :)

You need to learn to use the zoom function and look at streetviews :p

As per previous posts:

@Matt, take a look at the latest map (post 83 above (http://forums.sv650.org/showpost.php?p=2961599&postcount=83)), point D for midday, but it's nearer Sheffield at a McD's

Or this map link (https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr=NR7&daddr=Downham+Rd%2FA1122+to:Elm+High+Rd%2FA1101+to :52.9449936,-0.423375+to:Unknown+road+to:Unknown+road+to:54.606 4967,-1.6794324+to:54.7486863,-2.0101728+to:54.8964334,-2.2599339+to:B6305+to:Bellingham,+UK&hl=en&ll=53.891391,-0.98877&spn=3.865584,10.821533&sll=52.646396,0.409927&sspn=0.248715,0.676346&geocode=FfAqIwMdYX0UACkTolx8M-LZRzFi_nxbvCSuGw%3BFRK4IgMdhmIGAA%3BFU9gIwMd9p0CAA %3BFWHgJwMdMYr5_yl1cl6P6T14SDHvDqSGv09whA%3BFd-cLAMd_PHx_w%3BFRPAPgMdw5Dm_w%3BFc8mQQMdiXjm_ykNf1B zzIJ-SDEJEi51gl33lw%3BFZFlQwMdVFXh_ykz1xNwPjN8SDFtzdpEW W56rg%3BFTGnRQMdrYXd_ykJeUGLJ7d9SDGENiKNBkhvzg%3BF XxtRgMd5wDe_ynFZf2b07l9SDH76FVIZETpDw%3BFTR1SQMdtJ rd_ymhWdrCvJV9SDHArbQLCSQDPQ&oq=NR7&t=h&mra=mivtw&via=3&z=7), bookmark it!

The thing you've got to remember about Andy is that sometimes he talks a good game, but isn't always in full possession of the facts at hand. I'm a national officer now, but it is worth noting that our main principle is freedom of choice so I can do whatever the hell I like :p

Matt, the point D midday rendezvous is at the McD's in case you weren't aware, there's an Esso next door too...

Just finished my garmin route, and added in some fuel POIs waypoints on my satnav too in case one is closed etc....if you use a garmin try this gpx file (http://www.4shared.com/file/R19rX3NZce/1AR14_Outbound.html) (you may want to delete some of the earlier waypoints for us east anglian gang)

[Matt-EUC]

Ok cool.

Don't give a cr4p :) only worried about keeping the tank from getting empty...hoping for better mileage than normal due to no b road bashing on the way up! More than 40mpg would be nice....

Ktm is ready....the Garmin mount wiring just got finished (under the tank) and I topped up the coolant...oil changed 100 miles back too so all set for tomorrow me thinks :)

Edit: oh and I've failed the header pipes test ;)

[Bibio]

never mind the header pipes you have failed the thread header test... lol

I did :D
Coz it's been in the shed since a couple of weeks ago when it got covered in stuff thrown off tractors and a very wet ride :(
Done both bikes today. No kids about, just me to do the dirty work.

Only reason the bike got washed was the radiator looked like a blender for insects

One dinosaur, megasaurus maybe a renaissance of the ghost dance war if im not careful =:o

Dont worry about that, even if I ride bolt up right my bike flops in corners. Miss Daisy don't do bad, neither are the chicken strips.
In fact the Z has bigger ones, coz they is new tyres ;-)
