Macca, is 0930 ok for you?? Time mihgt change, just getting a rough plan together :/


Plan 1, meeting some other chaps at Soton, ride to Southsea to see a mate, then up through the Meon valley?? If this is the case then easier to meet you in Pompey?? Unless you want the extra ride??


Plan 2, head toward Poole, as another friend is picking his bike up from there :)

0930 should be fine mate, I don't mind the extra ride so will meet ya up at DG20.

Either plan sounds fine, although I'm still a newb so add a few extra minutes on incase I can't keep up with ya :lol

I'll need to be back in Fareham by about 2pm ish so might end up diving off at some point before that. Hope thats cool!

It was a nice day for a ride today! Although the wind on the M27 wasn't too much fun.


Hope ya got back OK Kev, I stopped for petrol on my way home and my bike wouldn't start after..GRR!

The alternator is f&&ked and not charging as much as it should be - the AA chap gave it a jump start and it was fine.... :oops:


:x

T'was a dry sunny day up til about 3.30. Then it chucked it down!


We did a lot of slow work to get Sam used to the bike first thing, then headed over to DG20, but we just missed you guys. We stuck around for a cuppa, then went over to Infinity to buy some of those 'love handles', which helped a lot. Then over to ADT Kawasaki to order a monorack for Jo's topbox and a pair of crash mushrooms. We then went for lunch at the Cowherds before going over to Eastleigh to visit a friend. We were just getting ready to head over to Portsdown Hill when the weather started to change and by the time we were passing home, it got cold, dark and wet so we went in.


Again, it was a pity we didn't catch up with you, but it was a worth while day as Both Jo and Sam are much more confident riding together, so next time we'll be up for it....

Cheers Kev, likewise good to meet you and the others as well.

Thanks for being patient on the motorway, i'm still a bit wobbly above 70/80 especially in that kind of wind! The filtering into Portsmouth was excellent too so thanks for that, I managed to filter some more on the way home as well.


I've got my battery on charge at the moment but the AA chap hooked up his volt-meter-thing to the battery after getting my bike started and he said that he'd expect it to be at least pushing 1.3 whereas it was only pushing out 1.1 so maybe the alternator is on it's way out. Getting my chain & sprockets changed on weds so will get Honda to check it out.


Definitely have to ride out again!


Cheers,
