    Now that you have detailed the route, I'm sure we can expect Mr Plod happily sitting and waiting for us!

    I don't get allowed out much any more - I'd like to join but I often find there's too much plod out North which makes it very dangerous (too busy looking at the speedometer, not enough time watching the corners).

    Mind you I could do with a ticket just to prove the Duchess can go that fast!

    The Duchess needs a bit more that 1/4 mile to get to top speed! besides, I have no ladies clothes to fit so 'Drag' racing is out for me.

    You're kidding me. Must have lousy acceleration then.

    And you can't borrow some of the missus'?

    I'm a lot bigger than the missus....and I bought the bike for it's name, not it's performance.

    One would expect something with the name 'super sport' would have at least decent performance.

    But we're getting off topic.

    Possibly back to the 250's probably doing a ride that might be heading north sometime this week or perhaps this weekend.

    Aye, it seems that we may (or may not) be heading into firmer territory about a possible ride that may or may not include 250s or may or may not include larger cc motorsickles that may or may not head out North and may or may not incorporate itself into another ride that may or may not include other motorcycles!

    Just trying to ensure that no mis-understanding due to the fact that this is a postulated 250 ride and may or may not include other riders wishing to accompany the club 250 at a future date and route to be decided sometime!

    Now, a word of caution.

    I have received warning in the past about posting a Rant with some motorcycle content, and had it moved from Rant and Rave to General Bike Ravings - as there has been mention made of bikes, CC ratings and even postulated rides, should we now play safe and ask a mod to move this thread, lest we upset the delicate balance of the site, and perhaps even cause a serious disruption in the whole internet?

    Ah fuck it - - you know who you are...

    Steady on old chap, no need for profanities or abuse like that!

    Makes you sound like a potty-mouth! Refer to a nice thesaurus and use more eloquent words to make your point instead!

    Incorrigible you are (there, that word again! Use Dictionary.com puhleeze!)

    Yeah well, such a person doesn't validate me using an extended vocabulary.. if he doesn't have the braincells to realise that this is a "CLUB" section where rides have _always_ been posted (and where I, among, oh I don't know, everyone else? has always found mcjim's/mavericks rides in the past), then I won't use the braincells to come up with a decent retort.

    Leah will be so jealous if you don't take her along too, after the other day...
    (As soon as she learns to drive she is allowed t osit her bike licence and then she will be coming along too I thinks)
    Thats' Ok though, I think I will take MY bike on this one!
    (She is braver than me on the slippery seat of that TL!)

    So, pretty much, if there does maybe happen to be a serendipitous gathering of two wheeled machines coincidentally travelling in the same general direction, i might possibly, accidently, quite ubiquitously be there.
