Ah well sorry I didn't realise you couldn't ride fast. Some of our roads are very twisty and turny and while some will be going that speed others may be going just a little faster. The main rideout on saturday though, will cater to all abilities, skills, levels, experience and bikes.
It's so much more than just a ride though

I know sorry, it was an attempt at a joke.
I'm on an sv, if it behaves I should be set for the weekend.

Ok now I need to find the embarrassed smiley
followed by the thumbs up smiley
then the clappy, clappy one
SV is good to bring. There'll be loads of people there who know loads of stuff about them so if it stops someone will know how to make it go again
(Not me though - I can only cross my fingers and make brmm brmm noises)

Its not the view thats important, but, when the road ploughs wiggly waggly straight through it, its a pretty damn hard thing to beat
Done it myself a couple of times, last time on the Hardy riders...but my SV wasn't keen on it because of the higher gearing.

hehe it's alright I understand there's been a bit of stick about the weekend. Do we have an attending list formed?
Ah it's the curse of the yellow curvy it suffers from but I have breakdown now so not the end of the world if it stops. would be a plus if we can fix it though.
I think like pauls said I just fancy getting away on the bike, meet some decent people etc.

Too early for definitive list yet but if local groups want to start making plans then great!
Keep an eye on the AR09 section nearer the time

so im just wondering if paul has the mosy powerful bike. should he be the one to take a crate of beer down for us, each? i recon we could get 4 crates strapped to the monster

it's an sv1000 andy! although I like ducati's alot i was wondering about this, getting tents/beer/change of underwear down - would it make sense for us to get organised so that one or two people carry the booze, others carry a variety of small tents etc? alternatively we could club together, pack a shed load of beer and tents into small plastic crates - get them couriered down to the venue - then we just roll up and rock on

the other alternative is to just keep it simple lol

essex aint that far away, it's literally a few hours in the saddle. I know motorways are boring but didn't most of us have to do around 1-2 hours of m62/m6 to get to the hardy bikers ride? Add another hour to that and we're in essex Also, to break up the monotony (and to take a more direct route), we can take the a1 which has roundabouts every few miles seeing as alot of it is dual carriageway etc...

North/West yorkshire lot met at woolly edge services last year (between j39 & 40 of m1 iirc?), then ride down towards sheffers to pickup the southern lot, head over to the a1 and razz down to ess-of-the-ex

so to sum up: yep I'm going

[Dave20046]

Where's wooly edge, sure it's not far from shefftown is it? Might actually be able to circum navigate it all on my lonesome! Although, thoguht:- couldn't we just buy the booze down there? Or would we be paying extortionate southerner prices?

God, lots of motorway riding on a 33bhp naked with luggage? Nightmare.

I don't know whether it's part of the controversy but I've heard rumours the beer is going to cost like £8 quid a pint or something silly lol... (JOKE) suppose buying it down there has the added bonus of it being cold. I don't like warm beer. Makes me throw up if I drink too much of it..... then again, cold beer has the same effect. It must be a quantity issue?
