Fozzie Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Hey tango, I think I'm riding down with remy, I was going to go to London to see Big Ben and mr fozzie but the weather is utter shite and mr fozzie lives 7 hours away I happen to know a YZF-R125 can do 10 hours a day, 250-400 miles a day, for 10 days no problem Oh and if you break down... Check the battery Ricky... Ricky... Battery My CBR is developing the cam chain tensioner rattle of death so can't really do the mileage and to top it off, Moo's knee can't do 3 hour journeys as I found out taking her up north. So looks like a day visit isn't possible this time round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennie Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 The lane isn't that bad! just not 100mph territory! Once we're set up we will provide tea/coffee on demand (within reason!)for donations to forum funds.We may also have biscuits/cakes but not home made this year.We need people to spend some money in the pub!We are taking some of our own food/beer as well though.We will now be doing, A442, A38 as the roadworks on the M5 are pretty slow.

dispersion Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 We're going cross country Joeman.....planning on leaving mid-morning and having a steady bimble across.....dunno what time you'll be heading up there or which route you'd take.....but I guess we'll be in Bicester around lunchtime......so, if the route and times work out mate we could rendezvous around there.... Ricky said he may ride across with us.....depends what his plans are..... Hey! I am on 12 hour notice and nights at the moment! Which means I can still come and should get Friday off! I'll ride with you guys if that's cool. Looks like I might have to leave Saturday to work but will see how it goes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
