Been a while since we have gone anywhere. Time to go out and play. I have to run into work in the morning so we should be on the bikes at about 10 I think. Meet at meanies place (if you are reading this, sorry meanie, haven't actually told you about it yet but you know you want to)

If you don't know where meanie lives then meet at Ashhurst service station (mobil on main road) and we will be there at 10.02am. Thinking about a run out the webber way somewhere. Don't care where. Just have to get out on the bike. Flag it if it is raining cause I can't be fagged riding in the rain but the weather should be good for the rest of the week.

Cheers

she is already trying to pike out. Claiming a party night before and broken bones is going to stop her riding. You might have to give her some encouragement.

We are really tame. There will be stretches of the ride where the quicker bikes will go ahead a bit. Highway cruising will be about 120ish. u4ea has already given the speech about not trying to keep up and riding at your own pace. I am not going to repeat it. If you can't keep your ego in your pocket and look after yourself you shouldn't come on the ride. We have never had a bin on one of our rides. There is only enough room on a FXR150 for 1 person and that person will be responsible for how they ride... just like everyone else. I am not the quickest in the group. Doesn't bother me at all. If your a little slow and looking after yourself and the safety of others in the group then we will wait for you. If you are riding dangerously and putting others at risk then expect a detour that you may/maynot be told about.

Probably give the CX a wirl if I can make it, fucking family issues at the mo. Lefthand side of the rear tire is still quite angular, due to side car usage, and needs a bit of rounding off.

Shit, that's no good bonezy! I'll come to your place at 9.30 and we can go together! Will the CX keep up with the thumper, or should I ride in 3rd?

Great ride with no problems
It got very cold as the sun went down however just to remind us that winter is apon us
Stopped at the pub for an ale at Wimbleton, Quaint little tavern with a publican by the name of Dutchie. A girl about ten years old planted herself on a barstool and blerted out "how ya goin Dutchie" like she was a long time patron, we all had a quiet chuckle and waited for her to order a rum and coke :doobey:
There must have been something in the water cause when we got out Bonez had an unusual episode where he just stood there and pulled faces, :nya: hope its worn off bonez
Mouse ended the ride with a very sore backside having not ridden for a number of years and cowboyz took the short way home after recieving a call from his wife to say dinner at the inlaws Poor bugger :killingme
anyway here are some pics 32733

Thanks for having me along gentlemen. I was the slow bugger on the KR. Me and my brother were just going for coffee over in woodville and happened to run into this crowd forming up in ashhurst. My bro had to head for work, but I had an excellent day. Would love to do it again some time.
