Well today i woke up and opened my blind and saw the lovly clear sky and dry floor and though, "today is going to be fun"
I cleaned the bike yestaday so got it out 9.30am and did a few last minute things to it (was playing with the brake lever to get it right mainly) and off i went into town to meet siggi.
Get there (early for a change) and siggi soon arives and off we go to Brighton at a "steady pace" hoing about 110mph and some lights (on duel carrage way) turn red, had to slam the brakes on and rear lock and well only just stoped, brown trouser moment!
Get to brighton about 20mins early. We then wait about 25mins for tatters and Joe to turn up and then after about 10 more mins Micheal J turns up and then we wait for Yokogeri and Davo.
And the we wait some more.......and more.......AND MORE and finally Yoko turns up about 50mins late!! Davo still not there so we set off and tell him to meet up there
onto the A23 up to boxhill and all going a nice 70mph as lots of traffic and i see some lights in my mirror of a bike in the distance, and this R6 undertake about 4 of us and joins the front with Siggi, i look at the number late and think "i know that plate" and sure enough Davo had somehow made it!!
The rest of the ride was fun except when i come inches away from be taken out my some b*tch that didnt check on a roundabout, my leg brushed past her car!! i thought my R+Gs were going to clip the car and end out on the tarmac, tatters agreed with me she came from nowhere, shat my pants for the second time (quite brown by this point )
Joe seemed to get left behind and turned up later at Boxhill as he had to stop for feul.
We then meet Wave, Fazed and have a burger, was fun and decide to ride to rye (about 30-40miles south) so off we go and was great fun. They all turned in for fuel except me and fazed didnt relise and blasted off and had our own little "suzuki V-Twin rideout" till we pull in and relise we had lost them all.
Sure enough, while Fazed is "releving himself" they all turn upand off to eastbourne then to rye. good road the A22 was and nice and open and long bend to really lean into which helped my confidence after a winter on being upright!!
However, we lost yoko and werent sure where he went, hope you got back ok yoko!!!
I went at eastbourne as had to get back (about 10miles from my house) but the rest went onto rye. overall a very good day and had a nice time. Only need a new rear tyre i think so next weeks pay is going on that
heres a pic of the worst bit, my tyre was NOT like this this morning

Davo got a few pics of the day so hopefully he will post them up
so thought id right about it as really sore and my legs hurt from my new leather trousers are a bit more worn in now ____________________ 99 RS125 --> 02 SV650s --> 03 Speed Four --> 92 RXS100 --> 93 CB400sf --> 01 CB600f Hornet |

Good blast
Nice one Wave, that made me chuckle
Shame we didn't get down to Rye much earlier so we could have had a good go on the Camber Sands Road.
As Siggi was saying, we need to have a meet time and stick to it in the future, people turning up in drips and drabs is no good.
Maybe say, meet at 11 for a 11.15 leave, that sort of thing. |

Was a bloody good ride today at some spirited speeds, although East Sussex County Council seem to have gone well overboard with the gritters |

i gotta admit that's one advantage you guys have, there's more of you so more rideouts, usually it's just four of us out here!
looks like you guys had a good blast i look forward to coming out on rideouts with you lot ____________________ wizzzard wrote: Imagine God just stopping by, tidying your front room up and then quietly letting himself out again. Statisticly more likely to happen than Korn being on here. |

i knew i forgot someone!!! sorry mike. Ringing about a new rear tomorrow as not using the bike so should be fine

i cant believe i was sure it was my forks and shock and not my discs, the shock is much better now, as was bouncing around a bit due to forks being quite hard, is a hard ride but i like it like that (road seems to give more feedback), the breaks are really good now and wouldnt have problem slowing from 100mph now!!

i tried to ring you, did you not get a missed call, maybe its your old number , yea we were going a fair pace, my SV really didnt have any more power as was really nailing it and going for 7th gear a lot
Great day but working next sunday ____________________ 99 RS125 --> 02 SV650s --> 03 Speed Four --> 92 RXS100 --> 93 CB400sf --> 01 CB600f Hornet |
