Any ride-outs coming soon?

Mav · Nov 19, 2008

If anyone wants to come for a gentle ride out, I will be going out on the lanes near Winchcombe on Sat morning for a couple hours. I'll be on the Adv which is running Tourances. For an idea of the terrain, here is jimboGSA going up one of the gentle slopes:

Would love to come but have made arrangements to go out for an easy trail with adamneeds this Sat.

Will come next time though, if that's OK?

Mav,
I may be up for that if you can handle a rookie slowing you down. Routefinder is quoting a distance of 65miles from here to Winchcombe so depends on what time I get in from work friday night really.

I would also be up for some light offroading if you do a trip out. Havent really done any yet as don't want to be stuck out there first time on my own. I've only got tourance's on though.

Tourances useless off road unless your name is Nick plumb. Buy some TKC's and you will find they work great on and off road. :thumb2

Gary H is the man if you want to go offroading he knows every track in wales I reckon. :thumb2

Then you had better start calling me Plumby as we managed to keep up with all the guys off-roading at the East Mids do without dropping the GSA. I say 'we' because we were riding two up :augie

But I do agree that Garry does seem to know lanes better than the back of his hand! :bow

Thanks for sorting out the parts for my forks Garry :clap

I would say TKC are much better than Tourances but I don't thing there useless :nenau

Have a little experience with Tourances in the mud on a loaded GS

That said I did try and buy some TKC but we were Bulgaria :augie

Not sure I can compete with your pics chap, but we will give it a try :thumb2

Like you, I would prefer TKCs over Tourances any day.

FYI - the Tourances were pretty much brand new and there wasn't that much mud

Sure thing - just drop me a PM if you're up for it. Given how cold it's gonna be tonight, thinking about starting a little later in case there is any frost :thumb2

That's what happens when reading UKGSer when working

Ahh some blue sky thinking then..... :blast

. The fiancee brought that one home a while back, bloody lawyers... :pullface

Sent you a text Mav, as said should be fine for tomorrow. I'll give me a chance to christen my twatsuit with dirt.... :kitty

Tourances are 200miles old so should be as best as they are ever going to be.

TKC's on shopping list but bike is a a 60 mile a day commuter as well so need road tyres for that, so will need spare wheels.
