Possible rideout?
 

With summer now in full swing and aproaching fast i pulled out the map and was looking at routes for a possible all day ride out, in short i was thinking nottingham area through the derbyshire dales, possible stop at matlock somewhere in there too. if people fancy it, and i hope you do. we can discuss a full route and take into account peoples locations and refine or change the ride so that it is equal or as near as so everyone can join in.
if we get the wether correct it should be a good day.
would be great to have big numbers though folks so please try and partake as it would be great to see everyone out, good pictures for the ORG and get the MIGTS group a bit more active within the ORG.
So please shine up your bikes and dust of your leathers and come out and have a laugh

cheers folks

Re: Possible rideout?
 

id be interested Lylej - but would have to burn off those first 600 miles for the service first :eek:

Re: Possible rideout?
 

I definately would be. Just burnt off my first 600 miles and service is booked :cool:

Although I'm still very much an amature and take corners pretty slow (at least i think i do :) ) so wouldnt like to be lost:(

Re: Possible rideout?
 

Depending on when it is, we'll be up for it:D

Re: Possible rideout?
 

will anyone be taking pillions ?

Re: Possible rideout?
 

I AM a pillion:D :D

Re: Possible rideout?
 

tell you what then if we leave it a little longer, and if you are interested in a day out post it up and raise your hand. after a week or so, we will talk routes and dates
sound like a plan?

Re: Possible rideout?
 

Probably easier to say when we can't make it:D

Can't do weekend of 26th/27th May. Of with the Wales lot.

Can't do June 22nd to July 1st. In Austria.

Apart from that.................we're free:D

Re: Possible rideout?
 

Count me in, if I'm home. cant do Bank hol weekend, and first two weekends in June but apart from them should be OK.

Cheers Keith

Re: Possible rideout?
 

I'd be interested in a rideout if the date suits (I can only come out to play every other weekend).

I'm back on two wheels after a two year break, it's not an SV this time though - can I still come and play?

Re: Possible rideout?
 

course you can, lol, :thumleft:

Re: Possible rideout?
 

I would probably bring my lady along on pillion then....I'm free every weekend except for the next two as iam nephew sitting :(

Sundays are best for me. saturdays i would not beable to bring they lady (not a big problem really)

Re: Possible rideout?
 

yeah thats cool, one thing though im not any sort of authority figure in the MIGTS so you can bring who you want or whatever in my opinion thats cool with me, as long as we can get us all out together i dont mind who joins in lol,

:)

Re: Possible rideout?
 

any weekend will suit me - prefer a Sunday though

Re: Possible rideout?
 

Seeing as I'm as good as West Midlands and I've never met a MIGT before I'd probably be up for it aswell, obviously date depending. I've never been that way on the bike so it would be good to see new roads and scenery. That is if you don't mind another non-SV coming along to ruin your SV:non-Sv ratios.

Re: Possible rideout?
 

dont see why it would be an issue, hope to see you there then.
Sundays would be better for myself but im quite happy booking a day off for it also

Re: Possible rideout?
 

Sunday preferable for us, too. The roads tend to be a bit quieter:D

Re: Possible rideout?
 

if its nice sunday i cant see why me and cuz cant turn up.

Re: Possible rideout?
 

just need to get the numbers definate before we can establish a date for the ride, so at this point just seeing whos available and when.
would you all like me + google earth to plan the route or does anyone have suggestions?

Re: Possible rideout?
 

Dark visors or sunglasses the order of the day for everyone then if you're coming Kwak..................don't want to end up blinded;)

Re: Possible rideout?
 

i heard Cuz had a more Kwak clean bike than the Kwak himself lol, :thumleft:

Re: Possible rideout?
 

If you're planning to go to Matlock Bath, avoid the B5035 past Carsington Water...............virtually all double white lines now and no fun at all:(

Re: Possible rideout?
 

i'll just have to ask my wife for permission to be there first.

Re: Possible rideout?
 

same as but my "wife" happens to be a girlfriend but shes working on sundays
hurrar!

:smt037 - "oh hi hunny" -:smt090 - well thats me not getting any tea tonight ! :(

Re: Possible rideout?
 

sorry about that she was standing behind me tutting:( "off out again are we"

Re: Possible rideout?
 

okey-dokey lissa will note that one, im thinking an all-dayer with matlock
as the lunch time chippy and chips stop, lots of nice twisty B roads and one or two nice straight A roads for all to dominate too. I'll have a really good look when i get home from work.

And KWAK you are not alone, but you got a tut, i got a smack lol,

Re: Possible rideout?
 

i'm in bude a week on sunday but i'm ok for this sunday.

Re: Possible rideout?
 

but rain is forecast for this Sunday

Re: Possible rideout?
 

:( thats not good.

Re: Possible rideout?
 

I can't make this Sunday as I'm already out this afternoon (the two guys I'm out with have just got new bikes - one got an R1 and the other an RSV in Fortuna colours, so they need running in) and next week is the wrong side of payday. Might make bank hol if the day and time suit, but otherwise any date after is good.

ps. went on "Via Michelin" to get a distance to Matlock (didn't have a clue where it was you see) and it came up with this:



Ok so the times wrong but i think its worth the whole motorway route just to see what "pleasant roads" are. Besides, they won't be so pleasant with my twin Arrow race cans getting me an ASBO:D

Re: Possible rideout?
 

Having had more time to think about dates, we've realised that this month is really not good for us. Pete is working tomorrow, next weekend is a bust for financial reasons, and the following weekend we're off in Wales. Bugger!

It's always the way though, whatever weekend you choose someone won't be able to make it. You'll just have to organise several.....that gives everyone a chance:D

Re: Possible rideout?
 

I'm free Bank holiday weekend and every other weekend after that.

Just got back from a 200 miler round Derbyshire - I'd forgotten just how good some of those roads are.

Re: Possible rideout?
 

This has gone abit slow.

I Think a ride out to the cat and fiddle would be a great idea or out to wetton mills derbyshire way and through castleton

Re: Possible rideout?
 

what i need is numbers and arranging a date when we can go out that suits everyone, :p

Re: Possible rideout?
 

You have to bite the bullet and just choose a date and post it. Some people will make it and others won't be able too. Fact of life I'm afraid.

Re: Possible rideout?
 

Like petevtwin650 said, and I'll confirm one way or another once we actually know a date.

Re: Possible rideout?
 

Aye you're right - just stick a route, date and time up. Them can make it will, them that can't won't.

Re: Possible rideout?
 

Ok folks the date for this rideout will be the 16th of june, this is a saturday i put it a bit further ahead so if people are interested then there is plenty of time to plan,
Help with a route would be greatly appreciated as i havent ridden them roads in some time

hope this date is ok

Re: Possible rideout?
 

I've just stumbled across this thread. I have no plans for the 16th June, and could make Matlock in around 2hours 30. The most direct route would take me on the A623, lovely road that, and been meaning to do it the backwards way around.

It'd be a long day for me, but I'm game.

I'll need to know a meeting point and time before I know for definite though. A mere 114miles to get to Matlock. Easy.

Just make sure the route involves a full day's riding!! As things stand, put me down as meeting you wherever you decide. I'll post back later if I can't make it for any reason.

It'll give me a chance to compare the Welsh roads that everyone was saying were so good last weekend. :thumbsup:

Re: Possible rideout?
 

Well done that man! 16th June works for me so far (but things can crop up). Maybe the MIGTS are alive and kicking after all.

As to the route - some from the West Mids expressed an interest so maybe a start in between? If you want a hand with arrangements let me know.

Cheers Keith
