Anyone riding this weekend (1st / 2nd November)?
 

Anyone up for a run this weekend (1st / 2nd November)? The weather looks good both Saturday and Sunday (albeit a bit chilly). Can do either day.

Thinking about doing the East coast route again. :D

Anybody interested?

Bit cool Tony, Gritters have been out last couple of days, not keen on gettin' everything covered in salt based grinding paste!!!! :(

Re: Anyone riding this weekend (1st / 2nd November)?
 

Getting Bike TAXED in 20 mins of so, but as Interceptor says... salt and Suzukis don't mix well... also I'll have to do some pre-flight checks first after Suzi's 6 Months of slumber in the garage.
I will be out maybe next week if temperature and weather allows.


ps It's great to be back in the UK.

Know what you mean. Hoping there won't be too much grime on the roads yet. Still planning to go out for a ride regardless.

Glad you're home & lookin' forward to some SV action matey, shame the weather's so ruddy poor at the mo' to ease you back into the saddle.....
If all this rain clears the **** off the roads a bit I'll look forward to catching-up with you for a ride somewhere :p Tony's always up for a blast too!;)

Take care

Yep, Ripponden area of Halifax roads now caked in grit! Would love to get out for a spin but currently on sick with broken ribs(who says mountain bikes are safer than motorbikes?) On a plus side I am supposed to be picking up a honda cr125 mx bike this w/end even though I cannot ride it for a while!

Nowt' like new bike to speed-up the healing process......;)

Re: Anyone riding this weekend (1st / 2nd November)?
 

Saturday sposed to be the better day. As whitty said HX is caked in salt even after the rain today. Im Indoors has a salt shield across his visor, kindly given to him by the car in front on the way home from work
However I really do need to get Dave out as I haven't had him out since I fell off him. I need to find out if alls straight etc. mmmm we shall wait for the expert to come back from work tomorrow and give me his verdict, can't be cacking his shinyness in a blanket of salt now can we?

Re: Anyone riding this weekend (1st / 2nd November)?
 

I would be out to play, but, it's too cold, my bike is running like a sh!tter (service next week!) and my weekend plans involve drinking...for the best part of the weekend ;o

You didn't tax it did you?? Not when it sounds like you wont be riding it before November?
Or did you tax it from 1st Nov?

Re: Anyone riding this weekend (1st / 2nd November)?
 

Yes, Saturday looks the better day, slightly warmer according to metcheck. Also, not supposed to go below 4°C on Friday night, so there shouldn't be any ice about.

Re: Anyone riding this weekend (1st / 2nd November)?
 

I would have come out to play Tony, but i'll be in Amsterdam saturday:p, and in no state to ride on sunday i'm afraid. :confused:

Shame, Saturday looks like it'll be a good day. Have a great time in Amsterdam.

Not got any cold weather biking gear Steve? ;) To be honest, can't blame you, it will be a tad chilly.

[quote=Richie;1672493]You'd think the people in the Post Office would be helpful enough to mention it, wouldn't you? :smt017 The swines.

Re: Anyone riding this weekend (1st / 2nd November)?
 

Definitely decided to ride on Saturday now, as the weather looks better than Sunday. :)

If anyone wants to brave the cold and join me, I'll keep checking this thread. :rolleyes:

Nice idea Hovis, but it is a bit far away. :rolleyes: Would take 5 hrs just to get to the start. Maybe another time and I'll make a weekend of it.

Re: Anyone riding this weekend (1st / 2nd November)?
 

Looks like it's just me going to the East coast tomorrow. :rolleyes:

If anyone does want to meet en route, PM me, I'll check my messages in the morning.

I got out for a couple of hours... went to Seaways bikers cafe at Fridaythorpe.

Went to Spurn Head and up the East Coast again. It was a good run, the roads were deserted. :D

The roads around Ulleskelf and Beverley were a bit dirty though, the bike's caked in mud so I'll have to wash it tomorrow. :(
