Whose going ?

.

I'am in :D but then you know that anyway just tought I would get the ball rolling so to speak :wink:

I'm in if for no other reason that to watch the inline 4 posse :)

If everyone is doing a Lunch break when they get to Calne then I will meet everyone there for an hour or so. :wink: :wink:

sorry i think i am at party in the park

Sorry guys and gals, the date is all wrong for me, don't get back from Cyprus until late that night so won't make this one.

Have fun and ride safe.

Magoo

No can do :cry:

Sorry moving house!!!

Yeah, a house would be a bit big on a rideout.... Have you got a flat ? :lol:

.

Will turn up (weather permitting).

I'll be there and maybe the better half as well :D

So, are any of the mighty "Vee Twin" massive adventuring out this Sunday, or is it just us 4 pot "nancy boys" heading west ?

As much as I'd like to. I don't think that either my bike or myself are in good enough condition to make the trip :cry: :cry: :cry:

Have fun though and stay safe :wink: :thumbsup:

Timings? If you can get me safely home by 6pm without breaking the sound barrier, I'm in.

If I'm not back by 6pm I'll be heading for a divorce :-k

Looking to meet at J2 M40 (in the layby of the A355 - see here) at 08:30 - Yes I know it's early, but we're taking the scenic route....

2 out of the 3 weather sites I have been to say overcast for Sunday, 10% chance of precipitation (that's rain to you & me..), so looks like it should be OK.

Looks like it's going to be quiet thaough as very little interest in this one.

.

Jelster, still planning to be there :)

I am also planning to be there unless the weather suddenly changes
for the worse. At the moment the forecast is not too bad.

Just heard from Monkey who will also probably be there... So that's at least half a dozen.... Good number me thinks...

.

i might be able to make it, but only for the morning - a friend who I haven't seen in a couple of years in unexpectedly in town and has selfishly planned her trip to coincide with the rideout!

Hands up time :lol: :lol: how many ppl are meeting steve at 8.30am tomorrow moring

I Think that's just you & me.... Rich will be meeting us there, although Deb did show some interest...

.

Hi Guys
I was planning to tag along, if the weather looks OK :)
I'll make my way to the Little Chef for 10:00
cheers
Simon

Sorry guys, unlikely to be there (must get a shed load of work finished for Monday).

Enjoy yourselves. :wink:


.

hhhhhhhmmmmmmmm the numbers are getting smaller :cry: steve did say to rich last night I still intend coming but if i wake up in the moring and the weather is s%*t, count me out :roll: :roll:

Unbelievable that you lot call yourself bikers. It's only a bit of water, it wont kill you :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:

This 4 pot lark has gone to your head.... Morning will be fine, but we may see the odd shower later. I expect to see you suited & booted in your leathers tomorrow... None of this denim stuff, just because you've got a Gixxer doesn't mean you HAVE to play the hooligan all the time.

.

Still planning to be there.

The weather here in Wiltshire was OK today. Mostly dry, only a 15 minute
bout of heavy rain at around 5:30PM. If tomorrow is like today shouldn't
be a problem.

OOOOOOOOOOOO Fight :lol: :lol: HOOLIGAN me no never :wink: anyway that means Mr Rich is one too as he was wearing jjjjjeannns last night

I will be there at 8:30, taking it very slowly because I usually don't wake up that early on sundays....

Well that was fun.... 270 miles today, met new friends, did some great roads and really enjoyed myself... Thanks all who turned out.

Mark, I hope you get your finger sorted soon.

.

Jelster,
Glad you got back OK, (everyone else back OK :?: ) thanks for setting up the ride.
Good to meet everyone, Joy and I had a ball AND the rain held off :)Shame the adrenaline is now wearing off and I'm feeling very Old :(

whoo hoo, that was a blast :shock:
334 miles has left me with neck muscles like a sealion :lol:
must get one one of those fairings to hide behind next time :!:
Pics will shortly be on their way to Jelster who is going to post them
cheers guys

You get used to it, believe me. I can now stand a constant 100mph without a problem.

Er, no. Don't do it. Please. Naked is cool, partly clothed isn't! :lol:

Glad you all had a good time.


.

I win, I win 486.6 miles today, five tanks of juice, that's £60 :shock: .

Nice to meet you guys, not my first choice of roads, but fun never the less.

My apologies to those suffering any hearing impediment.


(Yes Steve nail is a nice shade of purple now.)

Cheers Mark.

Couldn't agree more :wink: :wink: :wink:

yeah, was a good meet. Only did part of it, but was good to meet up with everyone and have a pleasant blat in the countryside!

does anyone know what happened to Prof? we lost him coming out of Bourton, did he find his way back to the group??

Cheers
Ruk

I wasn't sure which way to go so stopped at a petrol station to read the
map. Then saw you blast past and followed at my geriatric pace.
Met the remainder of the group in Calne.

Being more or less local I covered only 210 miles yesterday. Still,
feel a bit tired. Good thing I don't have a tennis match today.

:shock: I seem to have offended the style police . . . :lol:
It was meant as a joke, the point being that I should have got a faired bike rather than a naked if I want to zoom around the countryside (ducks down to avoid incoming . . .).
Are fender extenders considered cool :?: , if so, anyone know where I can get one that will fit a K4, as the one I ordered from Busters is the wrong shape :cry:

Yeah, too right! :lol:

Nah, you just need big neck muscles unlike these nancy boys who hide behind fairings... ;)

They're not cool but we allow them ( :lol: ) as they're pretty effective at keeping the water off the front plug.

Put the one from Busters on the For Sale forum and I'm sure someone here will know where to source a K3/4 item.
