Surely theres someone else who's passing this area or something? I cant be the most northern rider going?!

I'll have to go down with some form of defensive mechanism, incase i find any unfriendly alien like characters who dont know anything exists other than them from down 'sarf.

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

There is 6 months to go yet. If it turns out that you are the most Northern person going, MTFU and get on with it :p

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

Top man :)

Daddyjobs idea of MTFU is not actually that manly, you'll be fine ;)

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement

You've got 6 months to book the time off for this TIB :smt019

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement

I'm oot as I'm away in July for a UK jollie

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

hmm.. SUCKS.
Prioritise man!

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

i might make it i might not. depends on weather TBH as i don't fancy riding 500 odd miles in the pizzing.

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

Ahem Isle of Man trumps AR (Sorry lads, cracking bid though)

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

Lance, its England. Surely on the way down you're gunna hit rain, aswell as sun and snow and hail and meteors and flying drunk humans, the list goes on.

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

Don't you worry mate, I'll be there. I'm determined to rebuild a couple of mini motos for a bit of racing action in the camping field and a bit of side bet action yeeeeh hah!

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

OMG.

:smt066

I'm up for a go!

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

Well wide boy's on it for the lovely young lads and fallouts here because he gets bored at home pretending to have a job but for the rest of us... Sure... That's as good an excuse as any.

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

:riding:

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

Lew I'm coming from Manchester, so meet near here if you want.
Ib I have a mini moto that needs repairing, I'll bring it along

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

Sounds good to me!

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

Ha, I'm giving myself 6 months for 2 and thats pushing it. Lets hope a few more knowledgeable orgers are there.[-o<

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

est. fuel cost - £104.. Please tell me you have a friendlier input to that price?!

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

Bib, you could fly and borrow my spare bike? ;)
p.s love the lack of motorway :)

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

Thats the way to do it

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

it's ok my bike easily does 200 miles to a tank so at £1.40 a ltr £50 to get me there :-)

borrow a bike.. hhmmm is it midget sized. lol

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

errrrr DL650??? Maybe not :( or my sisters lowered fazer 600. thats quite small.

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

should this be the same for mine?

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

no fun flying. i like to stop off and sight see hence the lack of MW.

if its a full power twin spark SV650 then yes.

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

how does the ecu restriction effect fuel?

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

Nope!

Lance gets stupid MPG!
I get 50mpg being gentle, cracking on like at GMV 37mpg or going totally loopy 27mpg

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

how Lance HOWWWWW..

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

i'm 5ft feck all and weigh 11st.

it's all to do with riding style. smooth and progressive with no cracking the throttle wide open on straights and no slowing down for corners. i also keep my bike in tip top condition. don't know if the suspension has anything to do with it but if it does then yes i have some very nice suspension.

before you say it no i don't ride like a wuss.

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

You couldn't keep up with Chucca and me at GM (and you were marking ;) )
Lance does ride quick, but the bike is fully sorted

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

Ah i see. I weigh 12 stone.. What are the main things to maintain that will effect fuel?

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

That'd what its like for me, 50ish mpg doing 70/80mph on motorway with the odd blast to keep me awake. Then 100ish miles to a tank (13litre) when commuting to college everyday have had a 80 miles to 13l but I was bombing it mixed with college and stop starting.

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

yes but Dean is a different kettle of fish and just poetry in motion.

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

Touche

And mental fun to follow

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

Damn, i wish i'd ridden with you guys! I feel numb and hopeless when you all talk about how people are like to ride with haha

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

brakes, tire pressures, regular oil/filter changes and tune ups. brakes being the big one.

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

Phew. I'm doing most things right then, what do you mean by 'tune ups'?

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

Brakes are a must. I've spent the last year with naff ones through one thing and another
They will be evil next year

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
 

Best way of checking they're all okay?
Sorry guys, im just a complete n00b but very eager to learn
