The Jade Mongoose Posted December 12, 2007 Posted December 12, 2007 Me and Dragolith are gonna be venturing out for what will probably be the last ride til next summer.Weather's gonna be nice, so who fancies a bit of a ride on the twisties?Probably Devils, Tann Hill, Hawes, Hartside, any other suggestions?P.S. This is my first daylight ride on the big bike, so come on, who's up for it? Quote
pumilio Posted December 12, 2007 Posted December 12, 2007 Quite tempting... I reckon my poor 125 would have a rough time keeping up though! Quote
chicane Posted December 12, 2007 Posted December 12, 2007 Do you guy's not feel the cold? Cold? , nah just looked out me winter gear.will see if Badger and Marmajuke are up for it Quote
The Jade Mongoose Posted December 12, 2007 Author Posted December 12, 2007 Hell no we don't feel the cold. We get too cold to feel anything Quote
chicane Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 aw thanks vicki, someone cares about us guys how about we meet up at Penrith see what the weather's like do Hartside first, then down to Tannhill, Hawes and finish at Devil's. If the weather is dodgy high up we can just do Hawes and Devil's Quote
The Jade Mongoose Posted December 13, 2007 Author Posted December 13, 2007 Good plan, that! Just spoken to Dave and we can be up there at about 11. Do you wanna meet at the petrol station at Rheged? Then we can decide where to go from there. That'll give us a good 4 hours daylight riding. Matt Quote
dragolith Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Well I'll be wearing 2 pairs of trousers under my leathers, 2 layers under top, glove liners, and a neck warmer! The only thing that got cold on my last run on Monday, was my right hand... Quote
chicane Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 probably due to non bike related overuse mate.yeah Rheged petrol station sound good Quote
chicane Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 just had txt off marmajuke he's up for it if he can get a day pass Quote
Guest Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Would like to, but other biking commitments going on i am afraid. Be safe. Quote

F4113n Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 sounds like fun, but will be under ma 600 most of the weekend...ride safe and watch out for the cold wet bits Quote
The Jade Mongoose Posted December 15, 2007 Author Posted December 15, 2007 Ok, if anyone else is interested in a bimble out, me, drago and chic are meeting at Rheged filling station at approx 11am tomorrow. Possible destinations are hartside cafe, tann hill, hawes and devils. All are welcome.P.S. I am excited but also dubious - excited because it's my first rideout on the bandit, and dubious because last time i rode to hartside, i got attacked by a buzzard. Quote
dragolith Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 Im dubious about the road conditions!I crap myself on slippery roads when cornering. Just how much leaning does it take to come off? Quote
chicane Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 roads'll be fine mate, its not the amount of lean its the amount of traction, I'll lead after we meet up if you want Quote
chicane Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 (edited) added incentive is I'll probably have a 21yr old, 5'5, size 8 blonde on me pillion she got a good voice and bangs out a good rythm on the skins as well Edited December 15, 2007 by chicane Quote
techno Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 added incentive is I'll probably have a 21yr old, 5'5, size 8 blonde on me pillion Thats a big old sheep chic Quote
chicane Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 lol sheep are heavier, be lucky if Rhia is 7.5 stone soaking wet Quote
