Any North Londoners or HERTS lot fancy a ride out on Sunday

[The Tot]

As the post says, any londoners or you Hert's lot fancy a ride out? I'm taking weather will be good enough for a nice razz. Smoto, you gonna bring that 125 field bike out for a spin? Time to bring out those winter hacks

I'm just looking into that myself.

Anyone recommend any good routes from London type area, perhaps north from there for a change.

I was thinking Sunday morning, go out grab lunch and ride back different way.

Some ideas popping up in IRC,
Henley,
Wallingford - Reading

I don't mind really, just be nice to actually ride rather than stand around talking all day.

[tootall]

I would be up for a weekend ride....I see you are passing by windsor which is very close to me. I only have a little NSR125 tho...will i be left behind by all you 'big bike' boys?

[Bendy]

[tootall]

Where you planning to start from?

[Bendy]

There were mutterings of meeting at Legoland.

[The Tot]

Tootall, please do come along - i don't want to be the only 125er out there , we can hold eachother up! lol - if you get lost, i have a good sense of deadheading, plus i'll be bringing an atlas with. I guess swaff's will be posting us the details then.

Howabout Lego land @ 11:00 on Sunday, and we'll take it from there. I think Marjay is going to meet us half way round.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

[The Tot]

Swaffs, where along the A4 section near heathrow can you meet me? Any hotels, pubs or mc dolands or other landmarks near the northern perimeter road? I'd be bringing an atlas if i do get lost.

Cheers

Titot

I'm prolly going NEC this afternoon

11.00 hrs at Legoland then - i'll probably see a few bikes by then - keeping a lookout for CBR's at the roundabout.

Had a recce of the route - and all seems okay - at least the oxfordshire stretch is.

C'mon - any other 125'ers , i don't want to be the only lil tyke playing with the big boys

Hi
@ rain

[The Tot]

Just got back from the ride with Swaffs - very nice roads - i.e. the scenic route to oxford from Windsor - if only weather was brighter, then it would have been a laugh with more people - still proof is that a 4 stroke 125 can still cut it with a mighty CBR (Ok, we rode at a gentle pace) and has the reliability to go the full distance - i can't imagine what it would have been like with an RS though . Anyway, just got back, shame some couldn't make it - gives me more experience as a wet weather rider and also a kick up the arse to do my test ASAP! BTW - my fingers have turned blue after riding continuously in the rain and as i'm typing this, i'm getting chillblanes;

Swaffs, my e-mail is Titot01@aol.com if you want to send me the pics

Cheers

Titot

I'll try and make it next time, since I live just outside Oxford. I didn't crawl out of bed until 12 o'clock though after a heavy night on the Stellas...

[swaffs]

Nice rideout, a little wet but still fun.

It was nice to meet Titot, shame a few others couldn't make it.

Not really much chance for pitures but I took a couple.

We started at Lego land, however didn't really get chance to say hello as we were moved on immediately after stopping.
So we headed to Henly and stopped for a cuppa and a bite to eat,

After that a little ride to Wallingford and then stopped for a quick stretch and an attempt at some photo's

Then down to Reading and back home, still raining but enjoyed myself anyway.

Glad you had fun.

Would have come, but I had a splitting headache when I woke up this morning, which now seems to have developed into a sore throat.

[Smoto Bob]

Meh, once weather's good, can always try to meet up with the guys from the west in an ideal location - say, somewhere in the Cotswolds? Still, i don't know when i'll have a job worthy of paying for an SV or any other sportster 600s.

Did you go dirttracking at hastings then Bob?
