Well I didn't wake up today til midday so missed this thread.

Managed to get the RGV running so took that for a spin to Fox's and back. By the time I got home my fingers were freezing, my **** was aching, my wrists were absolute agony, but jesus harold christ what fun!

Another eventful TVSF rideout!

ASM - what happened to you? The road was straight and we waited but you didn't come past??

Tony - How are you and the bike? Not too much damage I hope..

Took nearly 2 hours to get back from On Yer Bike & couldn't see a thing with the black visor on (didn't expect to still be out when it got dark!) plus my bike is jumping out of gear and is vibrating a lot more than usual, dunno whats going on there..

I should note it's my bottom that was aching. The profanity filter here can be a bit ambiguous!

I was with you guys as we left Aylesbury, and you headed off towards Amersham/London. Its quicker for me to go home via Stoke Mandeville/Princes Risborough and Wycombe. I like those roads and i have a mate who lives in PR, so i stopped for a coffee. It still took me less than an hour to get home. I tried to signal, but i'm not surprised you missed it!

What happened Tony? I assume you had a spill? Hopefully you are ok....makes me wish i stuck with you guys now.

Also not good to hear your bike is playing up Nick. IMO get someone knowledgeable to look at it, sooner rather than later, as gear boxes/clutch can get expensive! It might be worth checking the adjustment of the chain etc.

Oh dear.

Another TV rideout that got fragmented.

Tony, sorry to read about your off. I gather things are not too serious so good news there at least.

So is anyone going to the ace tomorrow or not I shall be going, but in the car.
