Yeah, I wimped out too - running late from work and too rushed... Helps I'll be heading north at the weekend, so the kms will get done! Hope all goes well tonight.

I'll second that!
Eight of our number have gone over Dyers Pass to the Wheatsheaf tonight.
Duvauchelles next week when the weather is better????
And remember ...... if it hasn't got one of "Uncle Flip's" prosthetic kickers it isn't a real motorbike!!!

I've just got back from the ride now.
As some of you, the ones who went on the ride, will already now, tonight I had a small low side on Dyer's pass briefly after overtaking Hey Wait For Me.
After overtaking on a straight, and what I consider to be safe piece of road I then lost control midway through a slow right hander and the RGV slid into a bank.
Apart from being very dirty and some pretty serious scuffing to the right side the bike is fine.
I'm sorry to the people on the ride for causing this to happen on what should have been a regular WNR.
Although I think I was fully capable of taking that particular corner at that particular speed in these particular conditions, I admit that I could easily have made some better choices that could have prevented it all together. I don't consider myself a road racer or even a quick rider, or one who pushes my own limits.
If ever I overtake you I don't mean anything by it, and I don't consider myself a better rider than you or a faster rider than you.
I think I could have made some better decisions on this ride, and I'm very glad that the decisions I did make didn't affect anyone else.
I'm sorry team.

I second that. Took the bike into work but decided that the run home would me get wet enough
Bring on next week!
These aren't the bikes we're looking for....

To hell with the bike are you OK?
Scooter boy
It was a small but robust team tonight and a bit of a learning curve with the conditions. Having said that, still enjoyed the ride , thanks for the company.. Hope everyone made it back ok and hope the weather is a little more inviting next week.

Don't worry McWild, as long as you are ok. We all make mistakes and thankfully you walked away from this.
As Gloplg said 7 of us went on the ride and unfortunately McWild had his off, so 6 of us continued to the pub. Had a quick drink and with the weather being what it was, we headed home! Again, thank you guys for looking out for me and a big thumbs up to Leadon who TEC, hopefully I didn't hold you up that much

Hell the weather over the top of Dyers had my bum cheeks sucking up the seat, hence the reason I dropped back! Home safe and sound and very wet!
Any ideas the best way to dry off my boots, they are soaking wet??

Impressed with the dedication of those that went out tonight, I thought about it but couldn't be arsed getting wet in the end.
KP, you still haven't managed to make that ride to duv, another new and creative excuse tonight but you must be running out by now...

Chicken!! You would have gotten wetter at Kopara!
Yeah, it seems I'm destined not to do Duvachelle. The riding gods must be telling me something!
