12 saturday dry / 13 sunday rain..meeting at ace.

Nice of noone to stop

Apart from Tony's spill it was a good day out

Philbut, those roads between Fox's and On Yer Bike are awesome, as soon as it's dry and I have some time at the weekend i'll be back over there to practice. You were flying along in front , I didn't have a hope in hell of catching you and I suspect you weren't even going close to flat out. I wasn't feeling too confident with the roads being wet in places and with my bike jumping out of gear.. and I had to wait for Tony and ASM to catch up of course

I need to get out and ride those roads over and over again on a nice sunny dry day..

Shocking allegations!

Great roads though....i swear that was the route we went when Stu lead the ride, but in reverse. In fact i am sure it was, as i recognised one of the villages where we stopped for a photo.

Finding the best biking roads is easy, all you have to do is look for the 'X casualties here' signs.

Well, the top box and sh*tty missmatched tyres add at least 20mph . I have the fastest barge on 2 wheels!

The route tis a favourite of mine. Warthog and fat bastrd are also fans I believe. Very rarely see any coppers down there either, which is a goo job cos we usually average about 30-40mph over the limit - just take it easy through those villages, and there are a few corners that can catch you out if you aren't expecting them.

what roads where you on? the a41 to aylesbury? Its a nice road but nicest when going from buckingham back down to aylesbury. I really like the b road between thame and bicester. Thats a beautiful road and its in oxfordshire which means it smooth.

The villagers dont like you hooning through there nice little comunities. Oh well what a shame.

Apart from the uniform car that went past in the opposite direction?

Poor obs if you didn't see it.

I scrubbed some speed when i saw it but was still 20-odd over the limit.....which lead to some anxious mirror checking.

A regular Sunday route for me is the A413 from Aylesbury to Buckingham, round the Tingewick bypass to Bicester, A41/B4011 to Thame and B4012 to Postcombe. There are some proper hairy bends on those B roads and the 'x accidents in last y years including z motorcyclists' signs are a sure-fire indication that some fun bits are coming up.

Thats the one.

I think i did see the cop car, but by the time he'd turned round, I'd have been long gone, so not too fussed - but yes, my previous comment about not many coppers now seems a bit flawed!

He seemed to slow down after he passed us, as if he was thinking of doing a u-turn. I did consider overtaking Tonyk, so i wans't the last bike/in the firing line, but decided on a ridiculous amount of mirror/shoulder checks.
