I must be lost...
 

Sorry for the Bristol Mofo invasion but I'm going to be in the big smog next week, and then again for 2 weeks in a couple of weeks. I'll be staying in Paddington and if my hotel has somewhere for me to securly park the bike I'll be bringing it. I was wondering if any of you could help me out and tell me if there are any twisties knocking around in this neck of the woods for after work, of point me in the general direction. I don't mind exploring

Re: I must be lost...
 

Not too many twisties in London as far as I'm aware. For that you need to head South a bit towards Farnborough, Guildford or Basingstoke way!:D If you fancy a trip down the M3 (junction 4a) then I can take you on som nice little routes. PM me when you are about matey.

Re: I must be lost...
 

Oh I will... As long as I have somewhere for my bike at night and some decant roads in the evening I'll be happy ; )

And the odd trip to the ACE I recon but twisites are the main requirment
cheers pal

Re: I must be lost...
 

Come to our local track - Pirbright twisties. ;)

I dunno how to get there though, it's a magical place but I'm sure Dan will show us.

Re: I must be lost...
 

I'm sure we can find it. I was thinking more along the lines of the Alton - Basingstoke twisites. :smt077 Besides you've been to Pirbirght more than I so you can show us the route.

Re: I must be lost...
 

if you head down the ACE give me a shout as i only live 15 mins away and i know a nice little route between my house (hayes) and my sisters place (stanwell) just ask dan ;)

Re: I must be lost...
 

If you like breathing...............don't follow Spider!:reaper:

Re: I must be lost...
 

Don't bother with the A272 between midhurst and Alton, some council ******s have decided to re-surface a huge stretch of it with a nice coating of tar and gravel chippings and apparently they won't be clearing the excess gravel off it for 3 weeks:smt120

Me thinks they are trying to deterr bikers from that route, as there really wasn't that much wrong with the surface...GUTTED :(

Re: I must be lost...
 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

](*,) :smt093 :smt090

Re: I must be lost...
 

I've got to try and speak to the manager tomorrow morning here to see if he'll let me chain it to the railing of the hotel next to the front door

Wish me luck, I don't fancy just leaving it on the road not chained to owt

Re: I must be lost...
 

Stretchie - I would offer you a spot in my garage but not exactly in the city... Why dont you check if there is any other secure carparks in the area you can work a deal with?

Pirbright would be your nearest set on this side of the city of any real substance. If you have more time over the weekends Im sure someone on here will be doing something... although watch out for last minute arrangements. :)

Re: I must be lost...
 

Hey Stretchie, drive the bike through the hotel lobby, into the lift and take it into your room, do it quickly and they'll never notice...

Re: I must be lost...
 

So what did he say?:smt026

Re: I must be lost...
 

I'M HERE

Got lost when I got into London (no surprise there) and found out my waterproofs aren't as waterproof as I'd hoped.. :smt081

They work, it's just that somehow the rain got in under my jacket at the front and I've spent the morning with a soaking belly

Re: I must be lost...
 

Awesome. Should get home for about half six so will give you a bell then. Weather looks like it will be pants but hey ho.

Re: I must be lost...
 

He's coming to see me in Guildford. ;)

Pirbright bends, Dan?

Re: I must be lost...
 

Fair do's. I'll be off to Alton on my own then.......sniff.;)

Let's see how the weather goes, I had the back end all over the show on the Hornet yesterday. Decided to go out in the rain for some fun, loved it but also nearly binned it. Think I found out just how fast you should go round corners in the wet. :rolleyes:

Re: I must be lost...
 

You're going to Alton?

Re: I must be lost...
 

Well I was considering the Alton, Odiham, Basingstoke route. I've not done the Pirbirght bends enough to be confident (see scary) especially in the wet. Up to you though mate, I really don't mind where we go. Have you made plans with Stretch to meet anywhere?

Re: I must be lost...
 

Yes, outside my street, he said he'll let me know when he sets off from London so I'm guessing meeting around 6. I'm up for your route if there's enough time before it gets dark.

Re: I must be lost...
 

It's already dark isn't it!?:p

Re: I must be lost...
 

:roll: you know what I mean. Headlights to see dark.

Re: I must be lost...
 

Oi Dan, where do you want to meet up. it's not that wet outside. just a bit damp.

Re: I must be lost...
 

That was a nice little blast down the twisties. Was great meeting you guys. Glad you got your wheels back Stretchie and Anna your bike seems full of character............... :p ;) We'll have to arrange for us to come to you folks and do a nice rideout and thn lots of drinks!:cool:

Re: I must be lost...
 

yep, was fun, next time I'll have you Dan. ;) :lol:

Dan, All that joking I did about the Mofo's having no sense of direction. After the petrol stop at Tesco's at the meadows. I got confused and led them onto the A30 to London by mistake, and had to do a U-turn, back to the M3 roundabout. :oops:

Another ride tomorrow, Stretchie? ;)

Re: I must be lost...
 

well if you thought we had no sense of direction I have paid stretchie well not to tell of incidents on the way home :(

and yes headlights would be nice in the dark :( grrrrrr must get them sorted!!

Thanks guys lovely to meet you kwakadan, Law always a pleasure ;)

hopefully will meet up soon for a longer ride out ;)

Once again thanks guys!

Re: I must be lost...
 

Eh??

Re: I must be lost...
 

Get yer coat. You've pulled ;)

Law. I'll give you a call later, I'm up for trying your local race track out

Re: I must be lost...
 

Incidents? I will have to outbid you and buy the details from him. ;)

Was nice to catch up again. :)

I meant next time I'll actually have a proper play and try keep up with you in the twisties. Did you get yer knee down cos I saw you hanging off in some corners before you lost me.

Cool, now to find where it is!

Re: I must be lost...
 

Don't you infect us with your gayness Mr Stretchie. Come to think of it, I dread to think why you are called Stretchie!!? :p

Law, I'm not sure if I got me knee down or not, I rarely notice to be honest. Was just trying to avoid the damp patches....ooer. :o :rolleyes:

Re: I must be lost...
 

Is anyone else up for the Pirbright track tonight if it happens?

Re: I must be lost...
 

If I remember correctly there was going to be a thread 'I'm also gay' in this Guildford thread.. ANd it wasn't for me.. :smt108

Re: I must be lost...
 

i wonder who for?? :confused: :rolleyes:

Re: I must be lost...
 

I think it was for............Spider. For disowning us, when it should be the other way round! :)

Re: I must be lost...
 

has he disowned the GM?

Re: I must be lost...
 

Well I've not seen or heard from him. I've been worried sick!

Men!:rolleyes:

Re: I must be lost...
 

Wasn't for Spider.... Lets think.. Who came out last night:p

Re: I must be lost...
 

I came out last night, it was fun! :D So did you, Dan and Anna.

Wait.... That's not what you meant is it??

Well, I remember a convo about getting Bluesteel to meet Stretchie. And talk of Dan wanting get get semi naked in the background of my GM photo entry. :-?

Re: I must be lost...
 

Hint

Re: I must be lost...
