Would love to Matty but my bike will need servicing after Turismo and it's not booked in until end of November so I can't be racking up too many miles before then.

not to mention it's a bit far for me to come for a day ride  Roll Eyes

Sounds like a simply spiffing idea ol cobber    waytogo    (work that out Svoloch)
Will this mean at least two social get togethers at Bar   ?     coffee
Just when you think the ride thread is dead and buried old faithful comes out of hibernation and saves my bike from rusting away.

Add your thumbsup to your preference.

Whoever invited those two deadshits for our big south run a while back should be held responsible for their stupidity.

Stop spiffing everywhere Bwian.  Angry

So one  waytogo for Saturday 17th

You would never be counted Rob, I don't think you were the knobs being referred too.
Of course I wasn't there but you don't strike me as that person.

The list

Matty Vas (thought he better ride his Monster)
Brian (stopped cleaning his bike)
Robs and his Tri-colore friend
Wells (no knobs please)
Svoloch (needs to learn how to turn his bike)
Rendang (don't overtake the leader)

Any room for a forum newbie? I promise I'm not a bell end. Cool

I'm pretty keen to take my (new to me) S2R out for her first ride.

(PS - I only just got my full licence & am not keen to lose it yet. Are these rides relatively sedate, occassional hooligan-ish or 'cop bait'?)

So one  waytogo for Saturday 17th

Bummer!  boo Been keen-as to finally get out on a ride with "y'all" since I joined this forum FOUR years ago  Shocked...and yet again thwarted! - wedding to attend Sat 17th  bang head and taking my kids to Coldplay Sun 18th...

Beginning to doubt it will ever happen. Have a good one sans yours truly, dudes & dudettes...

If we get a reasonable turn-out (which this is headed for) there is usually quite a spread of rider experience/skill/confidence levels ... from those that can ride to those that think they can ride and then those that know they can't cheeky. The pace is down to the individual and there should be no pressure to perform.

Also we try to avoid unnecessary overtaking so the quicker guys usually lead graduating down to a slow bastard like me at the back. Some people don't come to these rides because they don't like waiting for others ... but that is their choice. It is intended to be a social ride ... fun but not a race and not competitive.

As for infringements ... you're on your own ... even a 'sedate' pace can get you into trouble.

Hi Wayne,

The rides can be as sedate or as spirited as you like. With newbies, I strongly suggest that you hang around the back for the first ride and just enjoy it. Down the track  you can work out where you best feel comfortable. They are definately not a race, lets keep that for track days. Our aim is for everyone to enjoy the day, the company, plus, of more importance, to get home in one piece and with a smile on your face. I hope that allays any fears or second thoughts you have about joining in on the day.
