I might get my other half to me at Hunny, she won't get on the back, and she won't moan as much if she meets me there. As long as nothing drastic happens, I'm in.

Note to Pete: were are you thinking of stopping? Bank on about 75-90mins from Wisbech to Hunny.

Note to Seggons, most of the route is an easy ride, but the first bit and the last 35miles or so can be quite technical, ideal roads for an SV. Just keep your distance and ride at your own pace, don't feel pressured to keep up and you'll be fine. I'm not very quick as Pete will no doubt tell you and I've never had any problems. We will have a tail ender that makes sure no one is left behind and someone will stop at junctions to point the way. Be good to see you there.

The route I've posted actually avoids Wisbech but for the extra 6 miles we could go via there and stop at the petrol station we stopped at on Skips run. That suitable BBD?

Bah, BigBaddad does himself down. He's not that slow for an old man.
Plus we're 2 up on an Sv ourselves and Skip rides a Kwak that isn't a Ninja, so that doesn't go round corners. Mike and Sean are still new to the rideout game too. K? Well that's a whole different story.

We all want to enjoy ourselves and that includes not leaving or losing anyone.

C'mon that Z750 ain't all that removed from a Z900 from the 1980's is it?

Nope, I've seen what you can do on that Z, especially with the Contis on. Your honour is safe.

The Z900 was a beast in its time!

As mine is now!

Sorry, I didn't look at the route too carefuly. I thought that it took us to Wisbech to pick up the A1101. My bad.

We can stop at Downham Market instead or we could take the B1101 from March to Wisbech then pick up the A1101 after stopping at said garage? Either way I'm not fussed.
