Hi All,

Just wondering if there are any takers for a bimble around Norfolk, meeting at Swaffham A47 Mcd's / BP at 9am Saturday 28th February .

Thunderace and I will be taking a couple of newbie 33bhp'ers out for a spin so nothing serious and it should be a calm pace...Ideal for those who are a little rusty after thier bikes being stuck in the shed over the worst of winter.

Not sure on a route as yet, I think we'll just wing it, I'm sure it'll be towards the coast at some point though.

Anyone is more than well to join us, why not show the newbies how friendly biker's are, especially those found on this forum!

Cheers,
Mark

I'm going to give this one a miss, its been a manic week & I'm off the Liverpool on Sunday. I've had enough of driving.

But I'll be up for other ones, especially once the weather really warms up.

Still Marpril to look forward to

I'll have to come up for one of your rides at some point as you make the effort to do TOGMIE. Not this week though as it's the Soho party on Saturday night. Don't want helmet hair.

Yeah, get some well earned rest in Rich!

The more the merrier Lph, I'll try to give better notice if I can, this one was last minute

I'd be up for a fortnightly meet at somewhere like Southwold if that would work for others?

I have posted The Mapril Meat Run in the Essex lounge too.Clair

I'm guessing that Tubbie T's might be a bit of a stretch for you for breakfast Sunday morning's.
Bishop Stortford is part of the loop back home for me.
Yea it's a odd route but I enjoy the Halsted Haverhill route.

Yeah, it's a little too far for a regular meet....might make for a good ride out now and then though! Were near there for the Mapril run...

Yes, Red Lodge is the next main road up.
I'll see Sunday if TT's is open.
The Geza who ran it was in two minds about giving it up.

I would have loved to come but my bike isn't rideable at the moment. It needs a new radiator and has clutch problems. Hopefully they will both be fixed by the end of next week.

Just got home, Ch00, thanks for coming all that way and sorry for the uber slow pace....I think the next ride out arranged with some local facebook people needs some caveats attached!
Thunderace, if you do read this, thanks for arranging, it was nice to have an excuse to get the bike out but no more 125's, please :)

Blimey, 125's :p

I'm sad I didn't get to ride in on sense, but its bloomin freezing, so I'm sort of glad I didn't ride now.

With a trip to Liverpool tomorrow & returning on Monday evening, I certainly didn't need anymore miles under my feet after last week.

Now yesterday would have been cracking :D

I made it home 310 miles for the day! Walked though the door at 5.30pm. Wife not happy as she didnt think I would be out all day.

Cheers for sorting out Mark. Pace was fine, its not a race and we all were learners once :D

I'm guessing that the pegs on the Rocker were unharmed in this excursions ;)

In all fairness to the 125 it was a YZF-R125 I see - if it was something like my GS then 45-50mph everywhere would have got old quick lol :)

kaivalagi

Yeah 45-50mph did get old quick, very novice and scared rider I thought...lucky to get to 55 on the very very long and straight bits
