East Anglia Revolutions Rideout

Skip organised* a rideout for the East Anglian people. The plan was to start and finish at the Red Lodge transport cafe.

*When I say organised I mean copied the same rideout from last year.

All the bikes and people had arrived (apart from Clio172).

Clio172 turned up after I did these photos.

Pete got us all ship-shape and we had some sort of line of bikes.







Pete and Lissa then informed us about the cafe, the right hand side was actually a carriage that had been built around. So from the outside it looked like any ordinary building, but the inside looked like this.



Skip then tried to get going 30 minutes earlier then planned. Luckily we didn't because that's when Clio turned up. Anyway 30 minutes later we were all geared up and ready for the off.



We then got to one of those really old railway crossings where the gates were made of wood and opened and shut by a person. So while we waited I grabbed a few pictures.





Fuel and a chin-wag was soon in order. Bigbaddad soon learnt a vital lesson in what happens to fuel when it gets hot and the consequences of having the fuel breather pipe plugged after Lissa noticed it flowing out the top of the tank.
Bigbaddad dropped off here after he found a stone had put a tiny hole in his tyre.





Beauty and the beast, all the smart people will be able to tell which is which.



The plan then changed, instead of doing the loop back to the Red Lodge we decided on finishing at Grafham Waters. Skip then borrowed a map from Pete and started plotting the route. The worried look on Mr Speirs face in the first picture tells it all.





After some great roads and a small, minor glitch (brushes over it) we all safely arrived at Grafham Waters.
The final natter before the fond fair wells were exchanged (just look at 2mths mainly posture )



All the bikes parked up





This bloke must have great taste in bikes pointing at my one.



Which helmet can I interest you in ma'am.

Ah... That's the reason he was laughing after I took the picture.

Now why would I have a flat spot on my tyre. The only way that could've happened was if I went into a bend too hot and locked the rear tyre for a long period of time.

You should go back and pick that rubber up, do your bit for the environment.......

Nice Pics Seggons, shame I missed the new bike Pete & Lissa

[Skip]

Great pics Scott - a good photo story

It was "carrot" cake

Maybe he was pointing at your bike saying "apparently these things are great for greenlaning"? Good ride out thanks

Nah, it's my new racing line for when I next use that road. With the rubber I've laid down it should stop me before going off road now.

Wa-hay, I wondered if anyone would get the "1 of his 5 a day" joke.

As I found, you also need a few others too for when it gets stuck.

Good job on the pics!

good pics, you can see what I thought of Pete and Lissa's Duke JK. And 2mths, nice to see you're in touch with your feminine side...not JK......lol that reminds me, did you see silence of the lambs last night......"it rubs the lotion on its skin, or else it gets the hose again"
