Sunday=rubbish weather.

Move what you had planned to Sunday and then you'll be free. Consequently if Saturday is to be spent watching Reading you're probably better off on the bike.

Brilliant! Just found this thread. I'll be there at 11am tomorrow at Foxes.

I can't be ****ed to trek all the way to the Shire Horse for 10:30(+the road between Marlow/Henley is muchos rapidos ). I'll see you guys in Henley just before the road becomes NSL at i guess 10:45-ish.

Ok i'll be at fox's at 11 aswell, have a black SV650 with a belly pan. I'll just walk up to the 1st person i see with an SV.

Look for a bloke in a Kawasaki fleece, probably riding an RGV250. Or a fat bloke in white boots. One of us will most likely be there.

Scratch my last, suns out again. Feck it, I'll meet you lot at the Shire 10:30. I don't mind a bit of rain. Will be leaving in 10 mins.

That was a good spin today, though I may have been a bit slow. Hopefully I’ll be able to keep up better soon.
Anyway I don’t have a clue why my bike started running and sounding like a bag of poo after fox’s but after a couple of seconds going down the road it seemed to sort itself out and ran fine all the way home, no backfire, no judders nothing. I think/hope it was just some crap in the carbs. After all it had been sat for 5 months.
Think I’d best get some new leads and spark plugs just encase, and get my carbs cleaned and set-up.
