Ride out to sunny hunny - Sunday 14 August

[nman1]

Sunny intervals, 21deg. No rain or showers. All according to BBC weather

[Guest]

still room for error. I bet the BBC couldn't get the weather right if they looked out of the window.

[nman1]

Isn`t that what they do now ??? Fingers crossed

[Seabluegal]

Thought I'd confirm the line up for Sunday as there's hopefully going to be lots of us:

Me

Ben

My dad

Gubba

Aaron (and perhaps random woman)

Ash

Seawolf

Nman

Roadrunner

Tango

BonnieBird

Is that everyone?

Can I warn you that some of the roads that Ben will be taking us on are a little exciting, I wouldn't set your suspension too hard.

[nman1]

And possibly Aaron from Bury St. Edmunds. Stick your name up Aaron

[Guest]

Aaron (and perhaps random woman)

 

she'll be going back on the rear of nman's bike, you know, the gixxer pull. what happened to the lass with whom you went to turkey huntingdon aaron?

the gixxer pull. pmsl...

[Tango]

Are you a deffo now Neil? Thought there was a question mark over whether you could make it.

Exciting roads? is that a euphemism for rough?

[Seabluegal]

There is a section of the ride where the roads are bumpy!!

No mention of the plans for Sunday when I was out last night so looks like I`ll be in for the ride. Bob my post code is PE28 4TQ if you want to meet at mine for the ride up to the services. Darren (Roadrunner) and possible Ash will be meeting me there at 11.45. Look for the row of shops in Brampton and go into the big car park on the right of the block.

See you all Sunday

[acemastr]

psht, you bast*rd!

much better than your rust bucket

[Guest]

rust, true. better, no.

[Seabluegal]

Excuse me, I too have a modern sports bike...

...

...

Anyway.

You'll know what I mean when you get there. I will warn you of the exact details tomorrow. It's seriously worth taking it slowly, if you ever think you might want to have children.

[nman1]

If it`s anything like the road from Ponders Brtidge to Whittlesy then I`m already singing soprano. Got to be one of the bumpiest roads in the county.

erm. sports? SV? funniest thing I've heard today!

[Seabluegal]

Gubba

May I remind you that I easily beat you in a 0-60mph the other day.

[Guest]

having torque is nothing to do with having a sports bike

been preparing that answer, knew you'd say that!

[acemastr]

Should have just left it in first you guys... oh wait... Jayne's can't hit 60 in 1st! pahahaha

Let's have a race to 75, my 1st gear needs a work out

[Seabluegal]

0-75mph? Since when did that become the established way of judging fast vehicles/riders?

Now you're just bending the rules to suit your own ends!!

On that basis, we should have a 0-30mph race with my dad's scooter, and none of us would win that. Does that mean that scooters are the way forward?

[Ash]

Not this again, we already established last time that the CBR600RR has a faster 0-60 time than both the SV and GSXR

Shame they're all limited in their corner speed compared with the Gixxer....hey neil?

Anyway, are Sam?Aaron coming sunday? they'd kick all of our asses, the 675 is the best "600" by far...

[nman1]

Aaron has said he may be coming but he`s checking his tyres, not sure about Sam.

Beg to differ, a decent launch on a sports bike (not an SV.. it's not sporty) will piss all over anything to 30
