15th April 2007 Rideout from Boxhill - 8AM
 

It has been decided to have a rideout on 15th April based on the route shown on post #123 on this thread.

Here is the plan:

Boxhill: meet 8am, leave 8:30am

The Chalet (cafe) for breakfast: arrive 9am, leave 10am (those who can't make Boxhill for 8am can meet us here)

Fuel stop at Buck Barn Crossroads (shell garage I think)

Loo stop at Tesco in Pulborough (forgot to put this on the map, sorry)

Bury Hill stop for loo/drink/look at bikes: arrive 11:30am, leave 12

Midhurst stop for leg stretch

Newlands corner stop for food/drink/loo/look at bikes: 1:15pm

The end (or head to Boxhill for more bike ogling)

These times aren't exact, just based on our test of the route today.

Er... doesn't bother me either way - but who decided on the date? that seemed to be the only issue on that other thread.

Re: April 2007 Rideout from Boxhill
 

Don't take it personally Sarah, I'm not trying to avoid you and promise if I'm physically able, I'll make a rideout (well after an OP or two and a bit of physio).

But not this one, sorry.

Cheers Mark.

Re: April 2007 Rideout from Boxhill
 

We can make the 15th :D

Re: April 2007 Rideout from Boxhill
 

Mark, that is a poor excuse for not making a GM rideout!! ;)


i should most likely, definitely be there the 15th is best for me

Re: April 2007 Rideout from Boxhill
 

the committee!!

Re: April 2007 Rideout from Boxhill
 

Well it seemed no one could decide on a date, so someone chose and that was it otherwise we could of been going round in circles.

As in war there are always casualties and in rideouts there are always non-attendees. Theres gonna be loads of rideouts I hope this year so if you have an idea or suggesstion put it up and pick a date, some people wont be able to make it and some will.

Re: April 2007 Rideout from Boxhill
 

Yep, an early date was chosen so we could fit more rideouts in. People would be able to attend at least one I hope, and there's a greater chance of nice weather on at least one rideout if we have loads.

Looking at the other thread, the date was getting pushed further back, it'll be Winter by the time everyone agreed.

Re: April 2007 Rideout from Boxhill
 

Well as this is the only weekend I cannot do I'll have to miss out. Curse you all!

Re: April 2007 Rideout from Boxhill
 

Ummm Boxhill is just about within spitting distance of Reading..i may meander down....i am renowned for my unreliability though, so take this post with a pinch of salt :) I'll know nearer the time if i will be available/not asleep!

Re: April 2007 Rideout from Boxhill
 

8.30 in the A M you say? I'll just come straight from the club then...

I've made a note of this and look forward to attending with Bluesteel. Now, what to wear?....

Re: April 2007 Rideout from Boxhill
 

8.30 is too early for me, so, count me out.

Re: April 2007 Rideout from Boxhill
 

Early start is good for me - what time you expecting to finish up 2ish?? or quite late??

Re: April 2007 Rideout from Boxhill
 

not quite sure yet. will test the route out and work out suitable stops for petrol and food etc and let everyone know. :riding:

Re: April 2007 Rideout from Boxhill
 

something fabulous ;)

i have no choice really, only got one set of leathers. thinking about getting a new visor though. torn between this and this

Re: April 2007 Rideout from Boxhill
 

Sam and I are definitely going to try and make this one....

of course, usual caveats of weather and memory :P

Sarah, be careful if you get an iridium visor. The finish rubs off very fast indeed. Anyway, black is the new black isn't it :D

Re: April 2007 Rideout from Boxhill
 

Go for a black visor. Cool and understated, be like and look like The Stig off Top Gear :cool:

Remember to carry a clear one with you though :plod:

Re: April 2007 Rideout from Boxhill
 

looks like i'll be getting a black visor then :D

i've got a plain black helmet so more like the old stig i suppose :cool:
i'm pillion quite a lot of the time so not a prob with :plod:

Re: April 2007 Rideout from Boxhill
 

Doesnt Stig have a white helmet with blue visor?

Re: April 2007 Rideout from Boxhill
 

I've got a super snazzy Caberg helmet. It has a second, dark visor built-in which is operated by a lever behind the left hand side visor rotation point. I can go from being a normal, well adjusted rider, to being the coolest thing on two wheels at the flick of a switch.

It's also matt black (like the bike's frame and my jacket) and has super snazzy matt silver decal inserts. It's also called a V-2. Now beat that for authenticity.

Re: April 2007 Rideout from Boxhill
 

My summer leather jacket matches the bike (same colour as yours) and the jacket was bought way before I even considered the SV!

Does that count??

Re: April 2007 Rideout from Boxhill
 

Me gots that one too although with grey graphics. The problem I find is that the dark inner visor is not nearly dark enough when it is sunny. I really want a full dark visor but can't find anywhere that sells them despite the fact that the Caberg V-2 has a super snazzy (good word that) quick release system for the main visor. Might HAVE to go buy a nice Arai!:p

Re: April 2007 Rideout from Boxhill
 

I got a nice Arai :D looks good in black with my black visor and black bike :D gggrrrrrrr :twisted:

Re: April 2007 Rideout from Boxhill
 

Caberg and super snazzy in the same sentence. Now there's a first!

..but thats just me talking, dont take any notice of my 'sarky' comment.

Re: April 2007 Rideout from Boxhill
 

If the weathers half-decent count me in.

I'm talking about the rideout, not helmets. ;)

Re: April 2007 Rideout from Boxhill
 

I know what you mean though but the new one's are ace, much better than the Roof one I had which fell to peices after about 3 months.
