23rd Thursday evening ride (newcastle)

Great run to and back from hartside. Very nice to meet you Ian and ops forgot your mate's name... must arrange regular meets for newcastle lots soon.

And for anyone from this neck of the woods, avoid go to hartside from hexham way, they have just redone the road surface between Langley and the first hairpin (with gravals). even 15mph the bike was sliding like mad.

Always entertaining NOT!

Because of the dodgey gravel road surface, myself and Dek went home from Hartside via Alston >Stanhope >Crook >Durham >Gateshead.
Trying to find a petrol station open after 8:30pm last night was a nightmare, travelled for 31 miles with my petrol warning light on, before finding one open. None of the village petrol stations were open, there owners must have went home to tuck there sheep in. lol
So if your out late at night children, beaware of your petrol situation from Hartside!

saw them racing up the twistie moor, and the bike came in hartside, subaru driver a bit disapointed, still behind the bike like.... and you must be the red curvy SV the didn't stop at hartside?

Here's the pictures. I managed to keep up (just) with the CBR going up an we swapped bikes as well leading me to believe the curvy SV has more torque but less power and the CBR isn't as fast as I expected, but still quick .

very nice indeed.
now. who said today (sat 25th)is gonna rain? i can't see any cloud here and having bad hangover.... good night though, don't know wtf happened to that bottle of white and how did martin still have his full glass after everyone else lost theirs...lol
right, might go and do some panning shot practice...

Well you kicked the table and that bottle of red went everywhere. I'm not sure what happened to the white.

Btw I was impressed by your dancing, which, I hope I can still do when I'm 35

Woke up at 12:30. Really shouldn't have done those vodka shots .

hi krz,yeah it was me on the red sv,stopped out later than expected needed to get home,i wish i stopped to say hi,didnt expect anyone of here to be there,going up early on sunday
