I will be at the Ace Cafe in the morning and then off for a ride later. Would be great to tie the two together and I'll be "bimbling" too as I'm running it in. Let me know.

It's Triumph day and my selling dealer is there so I'm dropping in to see them but only for a short time. After that I'd love to join you but it will take a while to get to Blackbushe.

Tomorrow is due to be even better. I want to come but already said I'd meet someone at the Ace.

@Fallout, Spank and all other south coast dwellers... We'll likely be swinging through Whitchurch/Andover en-route if you don't fancy the schlep up to Blackbushe.

Tomor. If you install your extra big gonads for the morning maybe an opportunity for some sensory over-load.

Tomor

I'll have to go and find them. They ran away after I rode the tractor as they preferred my bike ;)

We may have a special guest star appearance too.....This of course assumes he starts putting his helmet on sometime in the next 20 mins else he'll be too late.


Lets see if we can get the first double digit GM ride of the year.

Still need to decide if it's seaside or Wiltshire wigglies. Take a vote in the morning. I may stick a pair of speedos in my tank bag just in case.

will probably be a good idea to do so! Think it will be close between who will be more late; you, Jam or Tony

Nice one. Still, I'd have beaten you there by 10 minutes even on a 50 :D

Well I enjoyed it too!

So...GM virgins ... next time more of the wiggly bits, more of the quicker bits or similar mix? Between Job and I we can manage runs like that in several directions.

Oldies... I recon we may have a new buttercup lane among some of those new roads between Alton and Andover.

08-06-14, 08:56 PM
As much as I enjoyed the quicker bits I would like some wigglies. I wouldnt mind some practice in the bends. Although saying that just being out on the bike is bloody good!

Hi all. I made it home safe and sound (and an hour late!). Thanks all for your patience and indulgence at my slow pace. That's the first 300+ miles done in the first week so service soon and I promise that next time you won't be waiting around for me quite so much. Aches and pains all over the place but I do still love the bike to death and can't wait to let it loose. Great day and I look forward to the next one. Cheers.

Nope. I never share routes. Folks come and learn them as we ride them. Personally I make them up as I go along so half the time had no idea where I was but just look confident while lost.

I've never been lost - just discovered lots of new and interesting places!

That triple does sound good with those cans too
