[Jelster]

I may join you for this, as I'll have the SV in a couple of weeks, so it can be it's first "outing"...

.

[T0mm0]

Sounds good, I may well be interested.

But I'll need to check my diary (the wife) before definately committing.

Nice one Jellyman. You can come and slum it for the day ;)

[Daimo]

I may be up for this as well, depending on the weather obviously.

BEst give it a clean then :lol:

It would be nice to see your ass...erm, i mean you again ;) Billys found the keys then ;)

[helen]

My bike surprised and delighted me by starting first time after languishing in my lock up for nearly 5 months - i think it deserves a ride out!

[Treacle]

Hay you know me any excuse to come for a blat! :thumbsup:

[svsk2]

Bloody hell, this run is shaping up to be a bit of an old school reunion!

[Supervox]

I could be up for a little blast to the coast - if you don't mind putting up with an 'Essex Lounger' for a while !! - won't know for sure until nearer the time but 'pencil' me in Viney ?? :D

[Jdubya]

I think I may be up for this one...although if I remember last year feb 26...it was snowing :shock: :shock: :shock: So my participation in this rideout will be very very very weather dependant :wink:

[jambo]

Ohhh
If it's not freezing brass monkies I may well be along for a Blat if I 'm not fixing a bike :lol: be nice to get out of town for a bit :roll:

Course if it's snowing I may well be passing :wink:

[Viney]

Better get on with route i suppose...still, need to get the bike road worthy first!!

[Sid Squid]

Me too. I'll be there.

[Viney]

Right bike roadworthy

Better get on with the route. Off out on the road this weekend to look for that 'new' road in surrey/kent

[hall13uk]

i am going for a ride today, as i have a day off. i shall keep my eye out for possible routes.

Great! ;)

I have an idea where it will be, sadly after 5 years of riding, there aren't many roads that havent bee riden down/up/along in Kent/Surrey/Sussex.

Still, its trying to link them togehter in an all new strange way that will be interesting
Id appreciate any ideas though ;D

[JakeRS]

Only problem is likely to be the weather me thinks!

Otherwise I will come, and meet at the closer point to me... rather than out miles away

Ah spoken like the voice of a true non selkenter....snow, cold, rain, hail...all part of the enjoyment. I dont a ride like this a couple of years ago, at the end of feb. We decided that it was time to go when it started snowing in Hastings!! What with that and Rictus with an SV that would only turn right, it was a fun, if not veeeeery cold day.

[Kate]

I can't see me coming along now :(

[Last Action Pimp]

me and a couple of my mates are going on a rideout on Monday 13th, we are going to hastings from boxhill and if anyone wants to tagg along they are more than welcome.

I'm only pulling your leg mate. We did have 15 bikes at the start, a couple of which where new riders. It just got colder as the day went on, then it snowed. I think i thawed out around about May

[hall13uk]

[Viney]

So whats the route like then? And meeting points? Or am I just jumping the gun now? :oops: :shock: :oops:

Calm down. They will be up by the end of the week.

Rough plan

Meet at Riverhead
Tunbridge wells via edenbridge
A267 to Horam(Wessons cafe)
Then somehow off to either Haistings or Brighton.

Roads to be finalised. :D

[Supervox]

What time do you normally meet at Riverhead ?

[Viney]

What time do you normally meet at Riverhead ?
I would imagine, 10am for a 11am departure, but certainly no earlier than 10(Im a lazy bugger)

[hall13uk]

ooo nice route i am most likely coming along tho i may continue to camber afterhastings on the A259 oooo love that road

[coombest]

I'll probably catch up with you all at T/Wells or Wessons, as I have people coming over on Saturday night so won't be human for an early start! Would also be abit rude to turf people off the sofas that early too!

See you there!

[Itching 2 go]

V, any chance of a map? I have trouble with written directions, I cant read you see.

[rictus01]

but certainly no earlier than 10(Im a lazy bugger)

Ah civilized people at last.

Cheers Mark.

[Viney]

Map now added, thanks to rictus :D

I know that its only a short route, but it will be cold, and probably raining, so a nice taster for more warmer rides soon. We could if numbers a low, not stop at hastings and go on to rye, then back to Riverhead using the scenic route. I wont map this or route it, but make the decision on the day.

[sexysi]

well I'm aloud to come out and play so come rain or shine I will come. if i'm still aloud that is.

By the way on the way to work a prat in a Land cruiser reversed out of her drive and in front of me, thus the bike has gone off to the repairers to be assessed. Maybe it will be written off.
sexysi
Bye the way check out the for sale section for a nice pair of wing mirrors for the curvey sv, I will be selling the seat cowl soon as well.

[Flamin_Squirrel]

Crap. Sorry to hear that. I take it if you're still riding you're in one peice though.

It's amazing how utterly stupid people can be, and reversing out of your drive without looking seems to be a special brand stupid. Saying that, a few months ago some dozy cow reversed out of her drive in front of me. This wasnt because she didnt look, but because she couldn't - as her view was blocked by vans either side. She couldnt see the road at all, but she reversed anyway :shock:

[hall13uk]

some drivers are sooo stupid :roll: take care out there fellow sver's

[Cazza]

Count me in! Work and freezing-fingers weather depending...

Hi guys and girls. I think I'm going to have to give this one a miss. The forecast (max of 5 degrees) is just too cold for my poor hands to be riding that distance. :cry:

Hope you have fun - make sure you post some pictures! :D

No Ian, you really want to see her hands :shock:

Saw her hands down at Boxhill on a cold day, not blue, more translucent, I've seen better colour on dead people :shock:

And I thought I had bad circulation :!:

Just as A note, bikes in for new chain & sprockets and front tyre Saturday, so all goes well see you Sunday.

Cheers Mark.

[thor]

Is this still happening with the forecast weather? (It's brass monkeys atm)

[hall13uk]

yeah still happening, well i shall turning up even is only for a cuppa @ the harvester

[thor]

Yeah, as long as it's dry, I don't mind the cold too much.
