JamBerryKing Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 hopefully be there, depending on work, and weather of course Quote
Glorian Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Gonna have to see on the day.As it's a 2.5-3 hour ride up there and back. and thats all motorway riding (which will be dullllll) Quote
GazW Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 I've blown a base gasket on the rear cylinder and its pissing fuel out.If I can get it fixed in time I'll be there. Quote
Chrissb6 Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Gonna have to see on the day.As it's a 2.5-3 hour ride up there and back. and thats all motorway riding (which will be dullllll)Hi, it's only motorway if you want it to be. There some stunning b roads between Colchester and Nottingham a ride up through Stamford into the Vale of Belvoir onto Notts can't be beat, it's all down to time and planning. Quote

Tiggie Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 puff wonder what would happen if I was to press the report button and get an admin to deal with this blatant user bashing? Quote
Mr Fro Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 puff wonder what would happen if I was to press the report button and get an admin to deal with this blatant user bashing? Ban him!I'll be going A134/17/52 (probably). Should just about scrape it on a tank of fuel in 2 1/2 hours. Quote
Stu Posted September 27, 2015 Author Posted September 27, 2015 Should just about scrape it on a tank of fuel in 2 1/2 hours. Not boasting but I will only need 1 fill up from leaving home these 25 litre tank tourers are great for things like this Quote
RantMachine Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Both my bikes have a 250 mile tank range, whichever one I ride I'm not gonna have to worry about fuel stops The question is, do I ride the CG and take twice as long to get there as the BMW on a good day, or ride the BMW and risk not getting there at all...

Stu Posted September 27, 2015 Author Posted September 27, 2015 tough call ollie if its any consolation you wont be missed Quote
RantMachine Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 If anything, my absence will make the rest of you lot seem a lot more attractive! Quote
rennie Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Sue can't come! I will attempt to make it,might be bike might be car Quote
kickflare Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 I'd come.. but i would have only had my bike for 4 days and i'd still be breaking in the engine. Much sad T.T Quote
RantMachine Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Guess you'd better get a whole lot of riding in between now and the meet, then I remember breaking in my Lexmoto... I was hitting a service interval every weekend, even had to cycle to work some days in order to avoid going over the mileage Quote
kickflare Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Guess you'd better get a whole lot of riding in between now and the meet, then I remember breaking in my Lexmoto... I was hitting a service interval every weekend, even had to cycle to work some days in order to avoid going over the mileage I live within walking distance of where i have to go lol, so its fine for me. I'm only using the bike for pleasure runs ;p I would ride more... but I'm still wary since the drivers my way seem to think that person with L plates means you have to crawl up their ass. Grumble. So if anyone wants to ride out with meee ;p *coughHintcough* Quote
RantMachine Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Try taking a crack at the Challenge 100 (link to the thread appears on every page), that's a great way to do some serious miles on a 125 and build confidence. I managed to rack up 14,000 miles on my 125 in just over a year And I did pretty well too, think I came something like 5th in the challenge that year... Quote

paul.monck Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 I'll certainly try and make the event Stu, bit of punch from my house, so it will be weather dependent [sMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH] for my old bones & back! Quote
kickflare Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 I may not be able to make it... I live right near London and the week i get my bike... i won't have a lot of petrol money to do long journeys... T.T Quote
