Hmm JSG asked the question and JSG did the ride, so why did you answere the question to JSG if he already knew? lol, I know I know you posted it so others would know I just thought it was silly.

hey Ixion having an experienced rider there to show us newbies the lines, etc would be MOST EXCELLENT.

And your McGuyver skills too will be real handy to have.

IMPORTANT QUESTION:

Just in case -- is there anybody who will be in the area happy to provide a lift/trailer/etc to a bike in case there is a breakdown, etc.....

I'll be carrying a puncture kit and some tools, are there others out there carrying some tools and puncture repair kits??

And oh yeah guys and gals.... how are your:
1.Oil levels,
2.Chain tensions,
3.Tyre pressures,
4.Tyre tread depth and surfaces,
5.Brake fluid levels,
6.Brake pad thickness,
7.Any thing else ..... any funny noises or smells or rattles that you haven't accounted for??

If the ride is going ahead would you care to put it in the Meeting and Events section... I've missed about 5 pages worth of posts and can't be assed reading back and finding out whats happening (not that I have time to either with my boss looking over my shoulder every 2 minutes)

Thanks

i didnt meet her on this site for a start, and unfortunately i know she is already taken she has
