I'm sure that plenty may be interested. From my point of view, Sunday is better, since I often have work on a Saturday these days.

Does anyone have a crystal weather ball? I'd like for it not only to be dry, but also a LITTLE less cold than Sunday there was.

I can imagine a band of bikers with ever-expanding waistlines :shock: eventually getting a special discount! :twisted:

Cheers,

Garry

[jim@55]

id go for a sunday too :D hazel,hazel make this sticky

(deliberate omission of A there) :wink:

[Cronos]

I've stuck this.

I can't make the first weekend in Feb as I'm away on a stag do, but if it's another time I'll freeze with the rest of you.

[scooby2102]

Cronos, what about the 2nd weekend then (if it suits everybody else)

Could go for some scran 1st in Ny's local then to the wee ice cream shoppie

[northwind]

Any weekend's good for me, so I can say i'm coming, then wake up, look outside, and go back to bed :)

[Anonymous]

[rscosworth]

Yeh, its the SRI CDTI 150 (05 plate) with colour sat nav and parking sensors. Picked her up yesterday. Loving it.

[jim@55]

yep really nice to drive ,,my bhp/ps fig r ****e ,but its mega torquey(260ft/lb i think)pulls like a train ,but petrols faster off the mark .good on m/way eh :wink:

[rscosworth]

think youve got the same engine i had in my old LS 2.0DTI old shape facelift vectra - pulls great on motorway but you have to work it hard.

the 150 is just awesome, pulls and pulls and pulls then slip into 6th for good fuel consumption :wink:

[carelesschucca]

You think you can come out to play with that you can keep thinking...

Baggy riding shotgun...

[dirtydog]

[carelesschucca]

i'm not going to talk about that, the bike is fixed. enough said!!!

[big_red]

I don't get home till the 16th of Feb. so I can't make it :cry: But I will be home for two weeks then and up for a run anytime :) That's if you all don't freeze out there, it does tend to be on the chilly side at this time but I hope you all have a great time. I will be out and about in the next two weeks getting some miles in before I go away so hope to see some of you out there....

[Godikus]

Hello Folks,

You bunch of loons :roll: ........................

Where you all meet?


Cheers , Andy

[carelesschucca]

I was planning to meet the Westies and Stirling services, at what time I do not know)...

[Quedos]

Sorry for being a spoilsport but garry cannot come out and play that day!
He'll probably over ride me but at present cannot give any reasons. (probable the only time the missus tells him he can't go out!) :evil:

[Cronos]

I've stuck a thread (http://forums.sv650.org/viewtopic.php?t=32319) with confirmed details of this year's ICR.

We still need to confirm meeting points and a route.

There are also a number of regulars who're notable by their absence. Tony, Jimmy, Drew, to name but a few.

[Blue Flame]

This is gonna seem like a stoopid question but where are we going for it? If it is St Andrews then would it not be better to meet at Kinross Services rather than Stirling per the other thread. Or have I missed a post :oops:

Hi,

Suggested Route Below.

ICE CREAM RUN (http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/gran****son/SVEcosseIceCreamRun.htm)

[northwind]

ABout what time does that put us at the ice cream shop? I'm thinking I might head back along the coast, cut down to Largo and work along from there- some nice roads on the tourist trail there. That's if I've not blacked out from hypothermia, or crashed, or stayed in bed.

[Blue Flame]

12:28 .......according to the map :roll:

That of course doesn't take into account the following:

a. Assumes we leave Kinross on time. :riding:

b. Stopping 'at the front' for a photo call.

c. All assumes we travel at ther average speeds set into the routefinder. But an hour would be about right I think.

I didn't bother putting a return route on because I reckoned some peeps will want to head straight home, some will want to go the 'east neuk' route and some will want to go to Cupar Motorcycles.

[northwind]

So, 3pm or thereabouts? :)

[Cronos]

So, 3pm or thereabouts? :)

You've got to allow time for Hazel to have her hot chocolates so I'd reckon closer to 6pm. :P

Hmmmm... :-k

Chocolate, Hazel (aka Nutty), Motorbikes......

.......I suppose we could call that a Hazelnut Whirl.



Ok, I'll get my coat !!

Blah blah Blackbird etc yada yada. :D I'll be there if i can get my sorry ass outa bed in time as I am living in Lauder at the moment. Makes for an interesting ride in the morning to work :lol:

[Cronos]

I am living in Lauder at the moment. Makes for an interesting ride in the morning to work :lol:

Watch out L&B Police are very hot on speeding right now after a spate of accidents.

As a fuel/tyre conservation effort I am limiting myself to 6500RPM - which equates to about 70 in top. As it was -1C this morning, it was quite fast enough. My fuel consumption has improved to 40mpg :lol: It is normally around 30-35 :lol: :lol:

Saw one of those accidents last week, a head-on near Oxton, a woman trapped in one of the cars. It happened about a minute before I got there... :shock:

[Dirty Baz]

I'll be there assuming new bearing fitted this saturday.

[pictonabike]

Cronos, what about the 2nd weekend then (if it suits everybody else)

Could go for some scran 1st in Ny's local then to the wee ice cream shoppie
Sorry guys, I've been fairly obscure here since a big hard drive crash and all my spare PC time has been spent trying to reconfigure my software and stuff so no time to post messages - I can arrange for us to have lunch again if people are up for it and I'll make sure there is steak pie on the menu this time

let me know how many

see you on the glorious 12th :lol:

[scooby2102]

Ni, soonds guid tae me

Defo for the steak pie 1st then the ice cream

[pictonabike]

Ni, soonds guid tae me

Defo for the steak pie 1st then the ice cream

Sorry to disappoint anyone loking forward to that steak pie - as the old firm game is being played that afternoon meals at the new inn have been cancelled (sadly it does make sense)

[scooby2102]

Holy F@*kin Moly, who the f@*k do the old firm think they are ? :shock:

Do they know who WE ARE ? :twisted:

Is the pub neutral or biased to either end of Glasgow,could be fun either way :D

[pictonabike]

Is the pub neutral or biased to either end of Glasgow,could be fun either way :Dthe pub is listed somewhere as being a celtic bar but there is a significant minority of rangers suppporters - they mix fairly well but I still consider it prudent to keep my head down during the last 15 minutes or so of the old firm games if both sets of supporters are watching the match together

[northwind]

I'm not going to be able to make it for this one :( Too much on at the moment.

[Blue Flame]

Canne make it after all. Family stuff.

Ride safe everyone.

[jimmy4237]

The main street in Cupar is being dug up due to sewage problems at the moment. You can get to St Andrews from Cupar but it's all one way, and the traffic is chaos. Getting back from St Andrews to the likes of Cupar Motorcycles is mayhem, as they've (council) have blocked off access to the main street, so you've to divert via Tesco, and back through the high street, or find a rat run of a back street. :evil: :evil:

There's not even proper diversion routes setup, so people who want to go to Cupar Motorcycles and follow the "all other routes" diversion sign will end in Glenrothes via the A914. I came across this today in the artic, and got stuck behind an old granny doing 35 in a 60 zone the whole way from Cupar to Glenrothes (12 miles :evil: :evil: :evil: ). That f****d up my tacho driving time major leage time, as I couldn't get passed the old dear due to oncoming traffic and the twisty road. Pity what the 40 odd cars behind me thought of the old granny. VOTE FOR COMPULSORY DRIVING RE-TESTS WHEN YOU GET TO OVER 60 YEARS OF AGE.............. then the roads would flow quicker..

Might have to work on Sunday :x , but if the weather is decent, then the hell with work - see you all at Kinross or wherever...

[scooby2102]

Confirm for definite who's all goin on Sunday

A member of the thistle club recommeded a hotel/pub in St Andrews with good food Ni might know it. At the ice cream shop (on your Left) straight through along to the end of the road headin for the coast then turn right and its down that road a bit on the right he says it looks tiny from the outside with a tiny bar but restaurant is big and the food realy good he can't remember the name but says there's a very low wall in front of it and that bikers are welcome. Do you know of it Ni?

[big_red]

[northwind]

At last.

It was a curious couple of lines and it was 'rippin my knittin' northy but now that everybody can see where this comes from Tom Waits (http://www.purelyrics.com/index.php?lyrics=uiawnnxj)... then perhaps you can change it now :P

[northwind]

Nah, I like it. Might change it some day, but not today...
