New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

Ok so I don't derail LP's thread for attendance and route ...

If anyone wants to meet up to ride down to the meeting place (M6 J19) then give me a shout.

My intention is to get to the meeting point by the quickest possible route (and save the twisties for the planned route), so I'll be heading down the M53, M56, M6. To get to the meeting point by 10am, I shall be leaving Wallasey at about 09:15am ... Chester Services seems a popular meeting point, and is en route for me ;-)

How do i get to chester services :D

Re: Newbies rideout meetup/general chit-chat
 

M53 to M56, turn left onto M56 (signed Manchester) about 5 minutes down there. In fact it is the next junction.

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

Claire, you meet and then follow me ;-)

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

And I can meet you two on the M6/M56 Split at Lymn if you like ?

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

Can't say I hold with riding bikes on motorways (:-dd), so I will go across via A54 from Chester. If anyone fancies that route rather than a bash down the motorway, meet at the point where the A54 crosses A55 (i.e straight down the M53 / A55 for the Wirral boys and girls)

EDIT: The A556 is full of roadworks, I just been told.

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

Yep, we can meet you at Lymm Services Stewie :thumright: what time?

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

Looks like we now won't be joining all you lovely guys and gals





And Luckypants. :tongue:

However if the newbie run down here gets cancelled then rest assured I will get there to annoy you all. :smt031

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

Always a pleasure Pete................ :smt097

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

Dunno 9.30 - 9.45 ? whatever suits you mate

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

The later the better ;-) so say 09:45 - it's only a 5 - 10 minute run down the motorway then to Knutsford services :)

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

Yep, see you there then :smt031

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

Mike, do we have a tail end charlie in place yet ? I would quite like to have a go at that if no one has yet volunteered, maybe share it with someone else so I can help out on the the bigger rideouts in future ? :D

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

Thanks for the offer Stewie, that is great. No TEC yet, but we can sort that on the day, so everyone knows who is who. Leader / TEC need to be pointed out to all.

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

First rider out for me over three bikes and with brand new tyres as well, should be inetrsting and i'm looking forward to it.

What do I need to bring? Will there be food at Ladybower? I've not been there before. I was thinking, drink, camara and smokes

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

If you want to meet up and ride over together on sun morn, drop me a pm, Im just off to work in like 6 mins so prolly wont reply till fri afters
stew

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

There is food at Ladybower. Camera good idea, smokes not. ;)

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

Weather looks pretty good for Sunday - metcheck

A bit chilly but dry and sunny :p

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

my thermals are washed and ready :D

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

lol chilly is an understatement with -4 or lower predicted at 6am, that's v cold on an M-way, I'm torn between my ride to work gear with jeans and a fleece underneath for the warmth or leathers and thin thermals ...... mmmm so many choices.

Thanks for the offer Stewie, I'll either meet you at Lymm Services but if I'm not there assume I am on my way to knutsford services, it all depends on what time I haul my sorry backside out of bed :-)

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

Is everyone ready for the mornin then ? Ive been out and filled up the bike and getting me gear together now, lookin forward to it, see you all in the mornin :D

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

I went out today on bike and it was sunny but freezing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gonna be the same tomor so don`t forget your thermals or if you don`t have any i`ve been reliably informed a pair of ladies tights will suffice. I expect to see lots of men in womens tights tomor :D

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

Although the idea is appealing in some strange way I think that tights are best suited to slender shaved womens legs rather than my hairy trees, ooooooo bad mental image for all there :pale:

Anyway:

Camera charged - Check, Tyres - Check, Fuel - check, GPS charged - Check, phone numbers - check. Pre flight ride to manchester to see how cold it is in my leathers - Check, Checking any bits haven't fallen off in the cold - check!

Well guess I'm as ready as I'll ever be. :-)

See you tomorrow

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

Ahh Stewie, the Men in Tights rideout!

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

I like that.. has a ring to it!!

"The Men In Tights Rideout" :smt046

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

I think you should be in charge of checking to make sure they are just wearing tights, and no-one kinky has got stockings on. Might need to warm your hands up first though:D

Hope you all have a good day tomorrow!

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

Busted! :geek:

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

Thanks Lissa, hope you do too, good luck with the rideout.

I think someone mentioned bringing a camera, i`ll make sure i get pics of anybody wearing tights :D

erm.. on second thoughts, maybe not!!! :smt042

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

So don`t i need to bother bringing the suspender belt you asked for tomor?????

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

I prefer stay-ups on the bike, the buckles tend to pinch under leathers :jocolor:

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

Have a good day out all you perverts.:)

Hard frost here and just below freezing, so be extra cautious and vigilant please.

Don't forget to post pics later. Underwear shots are optional.:D

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

Hard frost here too... i`m thinking of lost my marbles :(

Suns trying to come out so can only hope it warms up a bit later on. Right, back to my porridge :D

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

Sorry guys unable to attend today, not too well myself this mornin, hope you have a good day.

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
 

Bike wont turn over this morning, cold has done for my battery which has been on its way out anyway. Got it on Optimate at the mo to try and get it in a state where it'll fire so will hopefully catch up with youse somewhere between Knutsford & Macc. If not, have a good ride.
