Graham Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 We having a route plan this week? Hi Lee, I was just thinking upto Broughton lights (north Preston) left to Elswick through some great biking roads up to Cockerham, more of the same up to Lancaster, then Caton (bru stop at layby/popular bikers stop) then faster open roads to devils bridge (decide between us, where)? Could go Sedburg-Hawes-Settle (a popular scratchers route on fantastic bikers roads) then back from Settle afew different ways?Or from Devils Bridge-Sedburg-Kendal-Crook-Bowness (bru stop)-return?I feel bearing in mind it'll be some ppls 1st ride of the season (mine included) either of the above (4/5 hours inc stops) is plenty far enough & hope others agree.There'll be plenty of time for more longer/different rides over the coming weeks/months.

dragolith Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Sounds good to me, Hawes is a good run. Providing my bike is back from Service by the Sunday - Im dropping her in Thursday. That is providing I get my puncture fixed also... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the wheel to get the puncture fixed, then service it yourself, easy-peasy & that way you'll deffo be out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragolith Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hahahah, you must be having a laugh right?If I try service it myself, my next ride will be 2015... I plan on fixing the puncture if my kit turns up before Thursday, then taking it to the garage to get service and 2 new rubbers. A little rub in on Saturday and ready for Sunday - fingers crossed...

Graham Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Think it may be the breatherviewtopic.php?f=5&t=43630 Yes i've had exactly this problem on a bike before. As others have said, breather issue. Check the small breather hole for a blockage (under fuel cap) check breather hose for same plus kinks. U can rule out fuel pump 100% as some bikers seem to think a faulty one causes this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for bringing us back on topic lol.That Crook road is great isn't it Seeing as your bringing the V-Twin brigade (please bring your own tools lol) & although the rev happy 4cylinders (real bikes) will be out numbered we've got the staying POWER lol.As you say some of us will be rusty but expect the lubrication to kick in as the day goes on We'll deffo do the Hartside run before too long & for those who've never been, keep an eye out in this NW section. You've gotta do it & the Lakes via Kirkstone Pass & Ullswater is a great ride there or back or both Yes 10.30am this Sunday 1st Rivington Bottom barn car park, for a 10.40am sharp set off.
