Went out to play with the Dukes yeterday - SV650.org

30-03-09, 08:36 AM

Went to Southwold yesterday, on a run organised by the East anglian lot of Duke owners. Met a small group at Newmarket, then set off to the Ducati/Kwak dealership in Newton Flotsam. He opened up especially and provided free refreshments and much needed toilets. Saw a749S that would suit Mr Speirs. From there around 25 Dukes set off for a trundle over to Southwold for chips and chat.

Finished back up at Beccles MaccyD's before heading homeward bound in the company of the Tricolour 1098, 748SP, Hypermotard and GSX1400. Dodged the rain all day, although the roads had been salted, but the new PR2's never slipped once. A toal of 335 miles for that one

Sunny Southwold then?

You didn't stop for a pint of Adnams then. Still it is a nice place to go to for a day out.

But you should have had fish and chips at Aldeburgh, legendary around these parts, the queues stretch right out the two shops when they're open.

Awesome! I wish I could have been there to lower the tone a bit with my cheap ol' SV

Funny guy!

Seastar is where the Kwak came from - before they lowered their standards!

Surprised you didn't fell the tremors as 25 Dukes fired up Skip

What made us chuckle was that the rideout was only 30 miles and was lead at a reasonable pace. Not like an EAR one then?

Some lurvely bikes there but sadly no 'sedicis.
