Will try to bring a friend who just got a 250 last month too.
Sorry to hear about soccer ben - I'm gonna miss the perfume of that 2 stroke exhaust!
Rookie? Duckaddict? Jsn? Black Bandit?
Looking forward to it already - I've got RRRS this Sunday so hopefully I'll be a safer rider next weekend!

w00t! I will be in this ride fer shizzle! I would love to make the acquaintance of all the kbers that have been posting their thoughts, rants and experiences about our lovely experience of riding.

I think it should be compulsory for every able person to ride two wheels of freedom!

I put a set on my bike yesterday, really easy to do (on my bike anyway), right one just bolted in, Left required cutting a hole in the fairing, then bolting it in. Should do it yourself.. no need to keep fingers crossed then!! And then there's the learning more about yr bike, and the satisfaction of doing it aspect...

Might come along on Sat too, Haven't seen you for a while

Nothing wrong with a Ginny mate. I'll be wearing an L plate so you'll easily be able to kep up with me!

I'll be meeting my missus and kids at Miranda for a dip in the hot pools and lunch so anyone who'd rather go to Miranda than the pub is welcome to join me. There's only 11km between Pub and hot Pools.
