Re: TV IAM Rideout - 21st Oct
Thats a great idea!
And I already know where Mark lives, he keeps pleading for me to come over but I am scared of his motives. |

Anyhow i've got my treatment plan with my physio now and i can stop wearing my brace in November. From then its hopefully a short time until i can ride. Of course it will be cold and icy, so i'll prob stay in anyway. |

Re: TV IAM Rideout - 21st Oct
So anyone want to take up my offer of showing you where to go ?
Can meet Fleet, Hartley Whitney or Crowthorn. Bunch of observers meet outside the estate agent in HW about 08:45 and ride in en-mass. I'll probably be with that lot if anyone wants to tag along. Otherwise hopefully see some of you there although probably won't hear about it until I read it on the forum unless you walk about with .ORG hats on. Mine will be the blue naked SV with a top-box on it (I know, but I have to carry a lot of stuff) and a .org sticker on the swing-arm. Remember to check the ear-hair of your observer. In general, more hair = grumpier and less inclined to have a laugh.

Re: TV IAM Rideout - 21st Oct
Mark- If say, 4 of us turn up will we all be able to get observed rides on the day?

Re: TV IAM Rideout - 21st Oct
If 50 of you turn up there may be a problem. 4-10 won't even raise an eyebrow. Mention what a good job I (Mark Harrington) did of spreading the word when they give you your welcome talk.Then I may also get a free cuppa

Not until you've completed your wheelie and stoppie training.

Re: TV IAM Rideout - 21st Oct
Thought the Poll covered that or is the TV group becoming as excuse ridden as the GM?
Forecast is a sunny if chilly morning. I'll be there. And able to lead in anyone from general Fleet direction if you want a bit of hand holding. Unless it's snowing expect 2-300 bikes there so unless you already know each other you'll find it hard to meet up. If you get there early enough suggest you park in the same place to have a better chance of "bumping into" each other. Enter the school grounds. BEWARE SPEED CAMERA CLOSE TO ENTRANCE Turn right going between two buildings. You'll be in a big parking area. About 50 yards is a turning on the right. Go down there into the smaller parking area. There's a little area on the right hand side that leads to the fields. Takes about half a dozen bikes. If you all get there before 9 (which you're supposed to do anyway as a newby) good chance you'll be able to park up in more or less the same area. Oh and no, you do not need to wear hi-viz or an old belstaff. If you turn up in full race leathers with a hump and other go-faster bits your observer is likely to think you are a speed freak and less likely to take you down the faster roads. Hopefully see you Sunday.
