Thats what I was trying to say to you soulkiss

Thanks everyone for a great day out, it was good to see familiar faces and to meet some new ones

As for organising another, I'll sort the route, but I'm not leading it

Bloody weather.. I'm knackered

Ahhh ok - note to all SV owners with aftermarket cans - if you want to talk to someone on another bike - make sure they pull up on your left, not right

I was going to mention to you that I thought you needed to have your fuel/air mix tweaked as your exhaust was a bit petrolly to say the least

Now I know why.

I had guessed something was up with the bike based on my nose and your slower than previous riding - which is why I just stuck behind you and didnt go racing off.

That was my bikest find of the say - 7000 rpm on my Zed == YEEHAAAA!!!!

Thanks for the ride out today ....was fun although I got very wet in the end

Yup - thats why mine is rarely below it!

Hehehe, I'm with Bigbaddad, since the first time I went out with Pete and Lissa, and the few rideouts since, I think (modest, eh?) that my ridings come on a good deal

I know whats next on my shopping list, a fender extender, all this talk of 7k rpm and I couldn't get close to it on the way home!

Thanks for keeping the traffic back a bit from me soulkiss, much appreciated, and I must say thats a rather nice looking bike you have I'm coming across to the super nekkids, there's some nice nakeds out there now

I became very trigger happy and am in the process of uploading over 40 of them.
I'll upload all the ok ones in a zip package (over 100 in total).

So what happened to the 100 quid you said you'd give me BBD?

Seriously though. Another good day out for me. Food, good roads, fun company and good (ish) weather.

I'd like to thank everyone for coming and getting into the swing of things. Lunging springs to mind.

Thumbs up too, as well, for letting me through from the back when I needed to get to the front again.

Have to do that route again and this time I'll try and include the missing bit.

As for the mileage we only did 300 of em, Soulkiss gets the Iron Butt award.

Well done that man.

Couple of pics

Graffham Water. Note the blue sky.




Also a good pic for the Illegally Parked Bikes thread



Not so Sunny Hunny. Again

I guess we could always try a variation of the route that I did last year - but cross our fingers for some better weather!

Yeah it was certainly difficult keeping up with you BBD when you were leading

Skip , that route was fine IIRC, although I hope it doesn't use any of the roads I used yesterday.

It might - but mainly we could use the roads you missed out!

If I get a bored moment I will refine it as there are some great roads out that way

Still Seans turn next though!
