Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

Might be a bit early to start organising things, but I've just booked the Friday off - so who's riding down from oooop norf?

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

Weeeeee are going down on the friday. Hopefully chris will be travelling with us accompanied by maria. I presume Mel will travel with us too. Not so sure about Smudge-haven't seen him since he moved house last week


Why are you up for the parting of the waves (of cars)when we all go down together????

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

Hell yeah :riding:



:p

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

Im thinking of going with Hovis.He doesnt know it yet but I'm sure he'll comply

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

I promise to make Im Indoors stay at the back, otherwise we'll all get headache!! :smt101mind you it might make cars move outta the way quicker to us if he's up front, his bike sounds like one of these!!!!

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

Just in case anyone's concerned about transporting stuff, I have a spare Renntec Sportsrack for the curvy SV, and a complete set of Oxford Platinum luggage- tailpack and panniers- which anyone is welcome to a lend of. Obviously they're in Edinburgh but I can post them out if need be.

I've also got a spare tent, it'd be the same deal- I'm not bringing it down on the bike, but I can post it to anyone who's needing a lend. It's a wee Eurohike number, never really used- my mate bought it for festivals but it's not durable enough for that, for Reading you need a tent that will withstand having 5 people in a shopping trolley roll over it, while on fire :mrgreen: But it's a decent wee tent for camping in less hostile environments!

And PS, WOOOOO! Top work all concerned, out of the frying pan into the campsite!

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

Can we start Team Renntec? Dizzy, Yorkie and me so far. Any more?


lol

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

Matts just said he's changed his mind, he says he's not taking the raptor anymore he's going ont SRX no.2.........its got a topbox!!!!!!





not if i have owt to do with it. It'll take him a week to get there!

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

I like SRXs, tell him to bring that one, I want a proper look. Raptors are BORING :mrgreen:

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

well as the deadline for booking isn't a concern now, I should be there even if I don't do the actual rideout, as long as I can ride that far,then I can make it back :D.

So far more likely now, nice job Rick.

Cheers Mark.

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

You have transport even if you cant ride. :)

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

The top box of your dullsville isnt exactly transport ;)

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

:confused: It isn't :?:

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

Lol. No! Now take the kids out of it this isntant before i tell your mum..or worse!! ;)

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

But I drilled air holes and put a blanket in there and everything. :sad:

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

You transporting children...not kittens! :lol:

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

yeah plug those holes up mate ........... ;)

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

Is there a difference :?: :confused:

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

A little. Just depends who comes after you. The Rspca or Nspcc. other than that, no!

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

Don't encourage him!!!! It may well fall to bits on the way down. He gave me a lift on it last night from work. It vibrated in all the wrong places, my feet had a funny sensation when i got off the footpegs and my hands felt like 12 after that grabrail.
If he rode down on that he may well have no teeth left from its super vibes! However it does have the most original STUBBIE end can from 1986??
And its taken more of a salt bath than Suze...lol

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

Any idea of what route you might be taking ? M62/M6/M5 or more scenic and through the countryside ? maybe we could have a border patrol/ Pennine massive ride in ? :riding::riding::riding::riding::riding::riding:

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

Not an original Super trap by any chance ?


Cheers Mark.

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

Super Trap's are great..............our Bros had one. Mother of God, it was loud:D

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

I'm presuming we'll be heading that kinda way,,Matt wants the scenic, cause if he does bring the SRX it don't like Mways much, but we're not so keen for the scenice route( me and chris). I prefer to get there quicker and direct...more time for beeeeeeeer on the friday

its got the original exhaust on it. I'l try find a pic to show youhttp://i21.ebayimg.com/07/i/000/c7/6b/af7e_1.JPG

TA DAAAAAAAA!!!! its the quietest of the three. All of them have the original cans, but the other two have rotted and got toooo loud

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

MMMMMM FRIDAY NIGHT BEER :D motorway all the way for me than ;)

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

Planning on a scenic route through Wales me. Will post an invite to any that wish to join me. I have Friday off and will spend the day riding down. Ride home will be on direct A-roads, but will be trying to avoid motorways. May as well enjoy the whole weekend as a bike riding experience............

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

I see a convoy of SV'ers going on the friday!! hehe

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

had the product one Bros myself, the main silencer box went across the bike at the joint, I cut it off and welded a plate across, was bloody load :cool:

looked like this

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

Friday and Saturday night hun. Might be persuaded to sack off work on the Monday as well :D

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

Yes, thought you'd stay for at least 2 nights, but only showed as 1 night on the poll. We're staying Saturday and Sunday night:cool:

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

Anyone going from london in a cage and fancy picking me up from gatwick/luton and taking me there? (see previous posts to see why I wont be on a bike, lol)

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

Just been onto the Easy Jet site, and flights to and from Bristol are about 60 quid for the round trip. Bristol might be a better bet for getting a lift maybe.

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

Bristols good too, or Manchester, any city thats cheap to get to from Edinburgh really, lol.

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

Bristol's a lot nearer to the AR than Manchester! :wink:

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

Would you fit in my top box? Probably not.

Ah, but what if I get that really big one, the Maxia? It'd be bigger than your tent...

Re: The AR08 Discussion Thread
 

yeah but if someone is caging it from manchester, then I wouldn't discriminate against them, lol.

Northy: Well the physio kept checking to see how bendy my leg was, so we could try and see how bendy the rest of me is. And we all know that the underseat storage on an sv was more roomy than my tent. A top box would be luxury, lol.
