Meeting place - on the far right, there is a path running North from where the road passes under the railway Bridge. There is a car park there where the path meets Gapemouth Rd. OK?

You'll be up to your ears in Mud!

I probably won't join you Stu as I'm still breaking the Ninja in, there can't spank it anywhere! :mad:

Awh, was hoping to see the new bike - don't mind if you go easy on me.
Come on you've got to get those 600 miles on it somehow.

Just seen on the Gixer forum, that the "Community Speed Watch" people were out and about today, in the Mytchett / North Camp areas and apparently out on the Twisties.

If you do go out, may call for a slow speed recce run first.

Are they the council camera vans or a group of angry villagers sneering at passing bikers?

This is actually a genuine question. :o

I think its the angry villagers option, but I don't know. And still, you don't want to go passed several times, as they could still call the old bill (I guess)

Burnouts and wheelies galore at Pirbright it is then :)

They are probably just bitter as they all have foot and mouth.

Hands up anyone who can break the speed limit on Pirbright twisties* & I will kneel down before you and worship you.





*the twisty bits. I can do 100 every day of the week, but need to reprofile my tyres.

I don't know, I'll let you know after Sat morning depending on
a) Whether you turn up
b) How you ride

Just me and Stu for the ride out today, but it was fun! :cool:

my first go round the twisties and it was very good! lol I think Im going around them on the way home from work every day its sunny now!

We had one angry villager get on his :rant: having a go at us about riding fast and making noise when we had pulled up for a chat. No problems though.

I think that got rid of the last of my chicken strips off my new tires as well so thats a result!

So... If you havent been... GO!

Oh and I think that the front end of the SV isnt that great in standard form, anyone argee :smt065 ;)
Wish list: one shiney GSXR front end
