Yes I'm sure peeps will be.

So whats the plan, wheres everyone meeting etc?

For me nothing that requires me to wake up to early would be nice. As for route and meeting place, I'm easy, I also have no preference on either of these points...

Nice to see ya yesterday Squirrel, I think as V and I went to Fox's on Saturday we'll give this a miss. Nice scenery and road on the A338 though...

OK, meeting at Nam 11:00 Little Chef on the A350 next to the golf course.

Destination.... well we'll decide at the start. As the Usk road is loose gravel we can rule that one out.

Thanx guys, hope you all came home for tea and didn't stay out too late playing on Fish hill!

Don't use the pub "Inn on the Marsh" in Moreton, doesn't like bikers and will not serve hot drinks!!!!

And because Beenz was so well behaved, I can come out again

Just keep the hints of "easier as a rider than a pillion" hints coming.

Cheers again for your company

Leigh and Joy

Fish Hill was better the second time round - if I'd had the time a third attempt would have been good! I'm not sure how low I got but and no matter how I stretched I still couldn't get the knee down - must have been going too slow

Good to meet you Baldyman, Joy, and to see SH again - I love that SV - though in all the excitment I didn't share intro's with the gixer 750 Cardiff geezer with the nicely shredded tyres - sorry bud Beenz, you're a loon!

Joy - about the rider v pillion thing; its all down to how much you like bikes and whether you have an urge to ride I guess. Certainly once you've gone solo (with no bruises!) I doubt you will want to ride pillion again. Kamakazy had bikes years ago but it was a good ten years after our FZR600 before she bought Beenz's SV. A bit shakey to begin with but she hadn't had it a year before moving up to the gixxer thou - but then she just loved the idea of riding again. Her biggest problem is short legs and being able to reach the deck! If you have some desire or just a fancy to ride it's an almost cert you will love it when you get going. If you have no interest then its like anything else, then its difficult to muster up the effort. One thing for sure it is absolutely nothing like being pillion except you wear similar gear and are astride a bike.

Get a bike that you can reach the floor with some comfort and you will feel quite confident.

Hopefully Kamakazy will be fit for a ride out soon - perhaps it will be good for the two of you to meet so you can get a female response! Kaz doesn't like it when we blast off (although she doesn't hang about!!) and today was actually quite quick in a lot of places, generally its easier pace so if you thought today was ok it should be all 's !

I got back about 2.30pm the rest of the loons are still playing!!

Fish Hill - he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he
