No not interested in another cage, ive already got one that sits outside taking up space. -$2500 will get you bugger all of my bike, hell I would have been better off accepting the low offers ive already had at least they were in the positives

Hi sl1nky welcome to the ATNR thread,

The weather hasn't been that bad last month, a skivvy and leather jacket has been enough for me (but I feel the cold terribly) but if ya stash your jacket inner under you rear seat you can bring it out later on if you start to feel the cold

The ride itself isn't too bad its when you go to leave the pub afterwards and its dark 'n cold out there......... wont be long till it's hot enough to be dripping in sweat after a ride...........bring on summer

Dont expect to be able to ride at the leaders pace, just ask the other guys who have binned it........

You guys are doin fine, dont think you are goin 'too slow or holdin the pack up' we have all been in the same shoes. I'd rather you were known as 'the guys who are improving their riding skills' instead of the 'twit who just binned it cause they were riding outside of their experience/skill level'............ ya cant go riding on a broken bike with broken bones..........

Get to know the roads and practise, practise, practise. C u on Thurs

Polish ya boots,
Wash and wax your bike,
Wipe those dead bugs off your helmet and visor
and put away those wet weather long-johns........... cause.......

SUMMER IS COMING on Thursday

In plain engrish.........
