Smile 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.

Anybody interested?

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 Tony's always up for a blast too!

Take care

John

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!

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?

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?
