Right then
Builth Wells didn't happen
Time set aside for collecting NTV parts didn't happen either
But the nice weather is upon, so let's make the most of it.
Loomies on Sunday afternoon, find it on our map or East of Winchester, North of Southampton where the A272 crosses the A32
Looks like Jaz66, RJ2Para and I are in, with hopefully Skyhook showing a presence.
That is only 2NTVs though, plus Jaz' RF900 (Black Beastie, or Black Beauty) and my mighty Pan.
We can coord a time during the week, but I'll suggest to RV between 1400 and 1500 and then spend a while admiring / photographing the steeds.
Jaz - RJ, depending on my plans for that day, I'll meet with one of you to ride tandem if you like.
Skyhook, hope you're able to make it, if so, perhaps you could ride with Jaz (if his right hand will resist those urges to open up)
Anyone else available to meet for a brew and natter?

Looking good for our plans this weekend the weather forecast is good - Sunny 15C with a bit of wind www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/se/southampton_forecast_weather.html but keep those prayers going. My friend is meeting me for lunch and then we pick up her Bandit. We have a slow ride around as it's well over 6 months since she last had a bike out (and she only learnt to ride last summer), then head up to Loomies, probably picking up another mate of mine and his ST1300. Hoping to RV with RJ2Para on route but not likely to hit Loomies before 1430. The Posse could look like RJ2Para - Revere Skyhook and bride - NTV then a load of imposters: Jaz - RF900 McF - Mighty Pan Sue - Suzuki Bandit IT - Mightier Pan (ST1300) RJ's Mate - CBR600 RJ - I shall put my spare NTV rear shocker in a pannier, although I hope by now you saw Franklin's post ref a rear shocker for sale at 50 Euros www.ntvhonda.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=partsforsale&action=display&thread=389&page=2 |

Owww....I can't make it this weekend  (well, not without upsetting a few people) Would have been a nice rideout though  (it's only 612 km one way.... so 2 1/2 tanks of gas ) Mind you, I would need a good place to sleep around there....and they have to speak zombie (which is what I'll look and sound like if I do that in one day ) |

Tut Tut Buzzin...I thought the bike was meant for longish rides....hehehe M8 too far but you will be missed. Sky any time you suggest is ok by me, 2 30 meet time, set off at 1200/1230 do it? meet up? is the retail centre still there by the bridge and headway to wards the parkway from southall? might be a convenient spot, or by the drive in Mcdonalds on the bath road/staines road close to the petrol station and the burger van, would also be good. what do you think? As for the missus, seem I will have company on sunday, as steff has offered to come for the ride, think mums ok with it but we will see. McF, take it steady with your friend, better to arrive late then not at all... Good reports about the weather, just got to decide on a route and turn up and enjoy being part of a record breaking team effort.... ;D Don't forget camera's and memory cards+batteries.... |

12:00 it is at Maccy D's. Re speeding away..not gonna happen. the NTV was fast enough for me cruising at 80, so no worries about me scratching it away, more likely be me catching you, with my speed skills..  ;D ;D |
