Lots of sensible words $i, and fully in line with the IAM standards I am pleased to see (Although they are clamping down on the NSLs as they can not be seen to condone speeding). Perhaps it is just that the only people who post any sort of follow-up on the rides just mention the madder bits?

Definately up for a nice A339-Alton back through Odiham up past Mattingly then back by which ever way works at some time as there's lots there for everyone and plent of opportunities to progress and a serious righthander for those with a propensity to hang off like an ape.

$i, did you complete your IAM, and did you go on to trainer or just for the cheaper insurance?

Yup the 339 to basingstoke is a lovely peice of road, best for a Sunday morning when there are less mobile chicanes about. It's probably true that (certainly me) post the bits about rides that I found to be a little fun/scary but we always aim to go out for a ride with the intention of coming home in one peice. I've never done IAM, I didn't get on with them but I'm lucky enough to have private 1-2-1 tuition from an instructor who trains coppers!

I will about this Sunday should anyone fancy a nice ride along the 339 (weather permitting).

You are spot on there mark. It is funny how if u get ure knee down ure classed as a mad head. I know people in iam that scrape their pegs around corners going round just as fast as i am with my KD. But there u go.

I passed my IAM test when i was 17, 3 years ago now, seems like yesterday. Did it at st. crispins, wokingham. regularly go on rides and trackdays with the tvam lot as it all good fun. Would have gone on 2 be an observer, but @ the end of the day, who's gonna listen to a 20yr old?

What about you? you IAM? observer? etc.

I unfortanately, wont be able to attend this one as i would have consumed vast quantities of alcohol the night before at a friends bday party. Plus i'll be warming up for kick off @ footy. not looking forward 2 it! The footy that is :lol:

I'm keen for this weekend same route? but meeting up in Alton would be closer if practical? Open to Sat or Sunday at the mo'.

We have not done alot of rideouts as a group, but I feel every ride out we have done has been pretty safe. Wanna go fast, go fast and head to the front, go at a more sedate pace then hang back a bit. Just come along to a rideout or indeed post one up and you'll see we are all careful bikers.

I'm currently putting together a rideout for a couple of weeks time so ill post details up when I know but meantime if you've got a rideout post it up, that goes to everyone

Enjoy guys i shall be sat in a classroom being interviewed and trained i guess i'm not gonna be free to go on rideouts on Saturdays for a bit if i get through Saturday so enjoy, Falc of course will be there :lol:

Please can you avoid 1st Sunday of the month, like last time, as it coincides with Guildford's IAM.
Thanks

Mmk ill post up a date or two and see what people say.

Yer I should be tearing up the roads on Saturday so tag along if anyone is about

Oh yeah, count me in! :D
