Chch ride in the clouds

This is a funny place to put pics of your ride but this is where we talked about the ride so here it is anyway.

It was great to meet up with Far Queue and have a ride with him.
I first of many I would say.

Well we had a good ride today.
A couple of spills were had and my mate had a good one at the end.
Which means he has a sore shoulder now.
I was run low on petrol at the end.
I pulled in to the service station and put 10.94 Litres in a 11 Litre tank.
The motor was hunting and well the motor died as I pulled up.

So heres the only two photos taken as we were on a mission

Good to you meet you and Aaron too and really enjoyed the ride.

I had to pick it up from my usual off road pace to keep up with you guys, but enjoyed the challenge. It was strenuous work - I sucked the last of the water out of the bladder I was carrying as I got off the bike at home and was soaked in sweat. It was the ride down the Eyre that was the hard bit in all that deep soft shingle and large stones. I was knackered when I got home and just about everything from the waist up was sore when I got up this morning, but it was great fun and it would be good to do it, or something similar, again. Being pushed improved my confidence as the day went on. By the way, I still hadn’t hit reserve when I got home.

The Lees valley ride will be organised this week. I’ll PM you, and put a new thread up once it’s sorted case anyone else wants to come along.

Well we are glade that you had fun and enjoyed your self.

I have always want a bigger tank ever since I got the bike, I may have to save up or ask Santa.

SDU had TXTed me as she was going to meet us in Oxford. (I missed the TXT)
I think that she must have liked the muffins and coffee from the day before.

Aaron is very sore after his crash and we are going to firm up the front end as he was bottoming out.
I'm not so much sore but the body in tired.
And the small oil leak was a loose rocker bolt that has a copper washer.

Here is a pic of the 92 Serow that is for sale.
