UPDATE: DATE SET AS SUNDAY 23rd APRIL '06
So Jake is organising the next rideout........ Excellent.
sexysi
lol dont count on it... everyone would end up in the wrong places...
i vote no...
I vote yes. Put a plan togehter and im sure that myself or someone else would help with the deatils
I second that, All you need is to sort a route out, print it off, post it and arrange a date via a poll or something. Then I'm sure that there will be helpers. ie: swisst to ride at the back, treacle to ride everywhere very fast. And rictus to arrange camera shoots and fag stops.
sexysi
I'll stay just behind the back marker :D
Maybe some of your favorite rooutes around the ashford, margate, ramsgate, canterbury, hythe area? Just a suggestion. Sounds good though. Maybe this time I can actually make it to a rideout again :shock:
Sounds cool, I lived in kent for 20 years so loads of nice routes.
sexysi
OK,
Only decent routes I really know are the a2070 from ashford down to brenzett, then along towards new romney, turn right before you get there onto the road through lydd, through camber round the niiiice twisties, then to rye, then down to hastings.
I havn't had the chance to explore kent much tbh, my main riding buddy is a bit restrictive (though he would come on a rideout on his ZX6)
Thinking early/mid april as am away end of March, and might give it a bit of time to get a tad warmer.
Suggestions and input puh-lease!
Thank you from the now eager to please and not feck things up 18 year old :lol:
If you start off at something like the oakdene, then a lot of us souff londoners can start here and then head on down, either 7 mile lane towards rye, or along the a20 towards maidstone, through sutton valence headcorn tenterden rye etc etc.
Just a suggestion
sexysi
Suggestion noted!
Will have to get meself up to the Oakdene though...
Being down in Folkestone meself its a slight way methinks..
So is like Location= Ashford kent, really folkstone!"£$%^%$£"!
I beleive they are not that close together, unless you go by train that is. :wink:
sexysi
lol many a time I have tried to change that to Folkestone. It changes then changes back again :?
Its only 16 miles by m20, 20 odd by a20 away from ashford anyway..
More input welcome :D
edit: where is the oakdene?
Oakdene is just of the M20/M26. When you exit the M20 onto the M26, take the first and only slip road, then follow round the roundabout to your right toward wrotham on the A20. The oakdene is on your right as you go up the hill...probably about 600 yds off the roundabout HTH :wink:
The oakdene is just here.

Hope this helps

ah its only just past maidstone, thats ok
I havent been to the oakdene for aaaaaages.
cant say i've ever been there
can anyone offer some routes?

Just a basic route...if someone would like to expand?
Okdene to Rye, Rye to Hythe then on to Dover via Capel and then end at H's or stop there for lunch then A299 via whitstable or something long those lines.
Just a quick thought after looking at google map. :wink:
Basic Route
Meet at Oakdene.
- Oakdene to Ashford on the A20
- Ashford to Rye on the A2070
**stop in Rye, grab a cuppa in a cafe (they've shut the bike park!)**
- Backtrack from Rye down the Camber road through Lydd
- to New Romney, through Dymchurch to Hythe.
- Hythe to Folkestone
- Folkestone to Dover (not on the Alkham Valley - speed limits of 50/40/30 now - and speed cameras sometimes) via Capel, then the old A20
- Dover onwards down the A2 or other route which I cant think of to H's for some munch.
Carry onwards to Whitstable if someone would like to provide a route?

Jake, good plan so far mate, Rictus' route is spot on for the route to Rye.
Double back as you say To Lydd (Not over keen on this as theres always lots of cars!! I prefer the run across the marsh!
Head up the 2070 to Hamstreet, then over towards Canterbury, then to whitstable.
Rictus is leading for that bit then eh :lol: never been that way
ok, the road across the marsh then, turning right at brenzett to head into hythe then onwards to H's, then whitstable etc?

Nonononono...dont just do it because i dont like it. I will ride anywhere, just dont see the massive attraction to Camber road. Stick with your plan mate.
no no, we will take the marsh road, for one I love it, and when we were going to be taking the a20 we would have come across it once so was going to take the camber road.
plan coming together nicely, just need some route from H's onwards
also, wondering if theres a decent a road to take from folkestone/dover to H's rather than boredom of the A2?

bloodly hell only 2 votes & how many replys :lol:
yes just let me know where & when
where - as above...
when - open for debate, suggest a date? after beginning of april...
I added my vote as a yes, I might bring someone else along as well Depending if he has sold his ducati and got a z1000. :wink:
sexysi
absolutely fine, the more the merrier...
... any preferences on date?
Easter is the middle weekend 14>
Trafiic might be heavy, but could be fun
depends on peoples work/child commitments I guess
for instance my dad works in catering, busy weekend easter weekend, he was going to come but wont be able to if its easter weekend.
if its easier for everyone else though, it'd be fine..
child commitments is a pain and a problem, so I will wait to see the arranged date.

mayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyybe

im well up for this ....but ill need to meet someone in thew south east london area....
hi guys, went out on the ninja ride out today (mate and my dad have ninjas) and i think we covered pretty much the whole of this route (started at oakdene all thru to rye), just when we got to rye we headed off to hastings instead of going out towards whitstable like we're going to.
it was a fantastic ride, especially the bit that rictus has suggested.
this is going to be good :D will draw up a plan of action this week.
im well up for this ....but ill need to meet someone in thew south east london area....
If I go i will be heading from bexleyheath, so you could join me. As you will probably go down the A2 which just touches Bexleyheath, you'll have to keep up with a Z1000 though. :wink:

Not at the moment, cause I have to keep it under 4,000 revs :shock: But afterwards, never known a SV650 do 151mph!!!!!!!!! Have you, unless it's pushed off a cliff :wink:

Even if it was pushed off a cliff its teminal velocity would be around 120-130mph thanks to the laws of physics, so it wouldnd even do it then. However, holding on to a bike at 151 MPH takes much strength. Ive been there done that, and it wasnt plesent, it was actully an indicated 160, laying on the tank looking like a muppet. Anyway, thats 151 with the stock cans on, with the blueflames, you should be loosing around 20hp, so that will drop you down the scale ;)

120-130mph is the terminal velocity of a sky diver with limbs spread, a bike would fall much faster

As this thread has got a little long winded, it might be an Idea to start another with a route, date,start time, and ask who will be attending?
this will make it clear as the first post says 30th april and the last 23rd :?
Cheers Mark.
so it does... 23rd preferable i think
