rideout end of May

[kitkat]

hiya folks, will have my raptor in my possession on bank holiday weekend at end of May. I will be going out and doing my favourite route, military road, wibbly wobbly, inverary for ice cream, oban for lunch, glencoe, green welly for ice cream round by lochearnhead maybe dukes pass if I have to.

If anyone fancies tagging along I will be leaving mcdonalds in balloch at 10am on sunday 27th May. If not :smt110

[Blue Flame]

Hmmm. <light bulb moment>.

Might be up for that. Weather permitting etc.

[northwind]

If not :smt110

I prefer this one: :smt016

Anyway. Yep, I reckon I can do that... Not 100% but I don't think I'm away that weekend or anything.

Sounds good to me but I will have been in the pub for the greater part of Saturday and so

b) do we need a b?

[Duck-man]

Looks like I'm off long rides for a few weeks now, Broke my wrist over a year ago year in a lil bike accident, took them too long to diagnose it as broken so didn't heal exactly as it should. Now I've just went and injured it at work today, not 2 sure of the damage, but my wrist is killing me just typing this with constant cramp pains and dull acheing and such. I need to take it easy for a while as I know the sv is bad on the old (and the young) wrist.

[northwind]

That's no good mate :( Hope it sorts itself out soon

[jimmy4237]

Jeeze Jimmy, thats cuttin it a bit neat !

That's cos the bosses up North won't let me off on either Thursday or even Friday. I'm the only local Glasgow driver they've got to collect the goods from the Wishaw depot. Which means that I can only get a ferry over on either late Friday night or a saturday morning. It sucks big time...:smt093 :smt093

The bosses don't want employees taking a day off to catch a decent time ferry to go and watch motorbike racing and enjoying the Irish pubs. Doesn't stop the boss taking time off to go to Italy for a week though:mad:

[Blue Flame]

.......Doesn't stop the boss taking time off to go to Italy for a week though:mad:

And that's why he is the boss ..... ;)

[Tiger 55]

Jimmy, are you familiar with the expression "throwing a sickie"?

Just wondered :-dd

[SVTONYB]

Aye jimmy you should have tested the water without showing your hand and if in doubt throw a sickie:cool:

[Blue Flame]

Tut tut

All this talk about throwing sickies.

What's the world coming to blah blah .... ;-)

[SVTONYB]

Well there's no point in throwing a sickie when you're :pukel: thats a waste

Better to be sick on the firms time and take a sickie when you're feeling good and need time off:riding:

[kitkat]

i'll be there mum, you can always rely on me!!! :smt039

good boy ;)

[SVTONYB]

Hey CC how many mums have you got:rolleyes:

[kitkat]

Hey CC how many mums have you got:rolleyes:


just the one tony ;) looking forward to seeing you again soon. Not seen you since our cumbernauld rideout. at least meeting at balloch I know how to get there, but I will probably still be late. No need for you to meet me to escort me to meeting point.

just you watch out for daffodil encrusted roundabouts and neds in cars - still makes me giggle thinking about that story. lol

[jimmy4237]

If I throw a sickie I'll lose my good attendance bonus, not to mention losing a days wages. Never been late or had a day off since October last year. I'll be taking two weeks off in June though for the TT.. that'll really **** them off and muck up their delivery schedule. But I don't care - I need a vacation to unwind soon or I'll go nuts. Edit that - I'm already driven nuts. Just need to keep a good attendance up until 3rd June and that's another £300 bonus paid to me.

In the transport game you aren't allowed a day off to catch a ferry, go the dentist, see a doctor, get to a bank or even get a social life. It's just not cricket me old boy..... you've practically to be dying or almost dead just to get a day off to see a doctor or dentist. (That's if you can get an appointment, then tell the transport boss 3 weeks in advance you've a medical emergency coming up:smt094 :smt094 :mad: :mad: :mad: )

[stuartyboy]

Have we agreed a date/venue on this yet?

Me and Mike will be going on a weekend run in May. We're thinking of Fort Bill/Skye/And back some way for one of the bank holiday weekends.

[jimmy4237]

You can't beat medication strength Pro-Plus plus strong coffee on a 14hr nightshift down to Liverpool docks from Bellshill and back up the road. Take too much and the end chemical effects on your body make you hyper, moody, mr. road rage white van man syndrome, and totally tired. Not to mention stopping at every 2nd service station for more anti-sleep pro-plus because your body gets hooked on the stuff..

That's why I stopped doing long nightshifts. I was turning out not to be a very nice social person..

Okay - stop brow beating me!

I'll be on new bike by then so not sure where or what i'm doing or how long I can do it for!:wink:

If I can and the weathers good I'll be there. There is a possiblity that we are going away for a long weekend with my dad but nothing is definate with me (as always)
B4 u go on about the rain - I don't fancy doing my first long ride out on a new bike in the rain. I'm not sure I'll be up to any distance - don't want to end up in a much pain as I did at moffat.

Ramble ramble ramble...............................

I'll be a possible till I know whats happening and how much money I have after my hols next week! (and if I pick the bike up!)

There should be someboby there with a car and a bike trailer following to help out with breakdowns or if Stuartyboy gets too sore on such a trip like this. It's no fun riding a bike when your body's feeling battered and bruised.:)

Thought about it, doing it! count me in for sunday (weather permitting)

If anyone's coming from the fife/central area give me a shout if you want a meeting point before heading across to balloch (probably stirling/alloa somewhere)

you lot going up to oban the helensburgh way? - plenty of 'private road' residents to annoy lol!

[Blue Flame]

......If anyone's coming from the fife/central area give me a shout if you want a meeting point before heading across to balloch (probably stirling/alloa somewhere)
.....!

Yeah i'll be going along. Where do you want to meet etc etc.

[muzikill]

Morisson's car park - alloa - can get some breakfast from the van across from it (if it's open) - now i have to work out the time it takes to get from alloa to balloch, so i get the time right.

[muzikill]

i'd say, alloa - morrison's car park around 8.30 -

to give a bit time getting through and stopping off for a possible brekkie break.

Plus we have to make sure we have some moby numbers for the west coasters, just in case.
