And I'm sure there are plenty of guys here that are only a phone call away who can/will help you out if need be. Think of it as the Uncle B Memorial Run and you will have a great time.

Yup, I'm local and Lissa has my cell if I'm needed.

Well I know for certain that Mrs Nudie is still way keen !!!

(and if I have a Guzzi by then, she may even take that....gasp !!)

Thanks guys. Uncle B has left some huge shoes, that may take several dozen people, to fill, so all offers are appreciated.
This ride was not intended to be an anti-male thing, just a chance for the gals to get together as most rides are fairly well male populated and often dominated and it's nice to have a chance for the gals to get together. If the weather is crap on Sunday, a get together anyway would be great, and in which case, guys, please feel free to come along and bring the wives, g/friends, pillions etc. We can have a chick ride on another fine day, no probs.

S'funny... after hearing so much about Bruce, I was thinking along similar lines about helping people with their road riding etc. I'm no spring chicken - I have been riding for 39 years. But in that time I have learned a lot and would be the first to admit that I am still learning. I taught my ex-Mrs to ride in the UK. She started on a GPZ500 and progressed through a Baby Blade (CBR400RR), then on to a YZF600 Thundercat, and finally on to a ZX9R. In addition to her compulsory basic training I was able to guide her through improved roadcraft, teaching her about road conditions, positioning, reading the clues, vanishing points, engine braking, group riding, state of mind etc etc.
She learned a lot from following my lines ...and I taught her a lot from following hers!! However, I do not claim to ride like a god. I ride smoothly to the conditions and (mostly) within the law. I now ride the CB having had three ZX9's and a host of other machines before that.
If any novice riders (girls or blokes) feel they'd like some friendly advice or simply wish to tag along for some "no pressure" riding experience, feel free to PM me and we can set something up.

Oh and if any Northerners are still here on Sunday, please feel welcome to come along also.

Hey Girls - brain is a bit fuzzed up and I thought I'd missed the ride - glad I haven't! Will ther be amny slower riders coming? My little CB250RS and I haven't done a lot of out of town riding this year so we don't wanna hold you up.

Cheers CSL.

Hi

I'm about as slow as they come so no worries there!

[elle-f]

it's not about speed but the absolute enjoyment of the ride.......i too, am a granny rider!

[apteryx_haasti]

I third that! I think my description says it all:

"Slower than a wet week!"

It's not a race, it's a ride and I for one will just be doing my usual blistering (for a snail) pace...

[Lissa]

Ha cant get any slower than me Like elle said, its about the enjoyment of the ride... I am just going to go at my own pace, what I think is safe anyway.

[elle-f]

Lissa you actually arent that slow - although i loved seeing you do the low lean like the lads on the faster bikes *L* i am totally looking forward to Sunday

[Lissa]

Went for a ride today, to where Uncle B took me first time, (the place I didnt take that corner and ended up on the wrong side of the road). It was nice to go there, imagined Uncle B behind me, bored with my slowpoke riding. Anyway, this time wore earplugs going home, didnt realise that the wind noise was so off putting, coming home I did 100.. weeeeee thats good for me! Yea not sure of what the weather is doing sunday, crossing my fingers though.

Friday and Saturday don't look too good - no forecast on the metservice site for Sunday yet.

[elle-f]

wednesday and thursday are looking awesome! i am not staying late at work and finish at 3 if you are interested Lissa in coming for a bit of a practise blat! i could wag of course *L*......mind you, me being me i would get caught!

[apteryx_haasti]

Ha cant get any slower than me

Reading these posts I got the amusing vision of a "reverse race" - all of us wobbling about going super slow motion just to show that "No, I'm the slowest one"....!

Too bad there's not one of these for LAST place!
