Infamous Sunday Newlands Run......To WALES!!

[Captain GSA]

That was a mother of all races.........until Stoner went off the black stuff........

Those two guys were something else............

.......................yes I know ...............

Shadow and auto ..... you both missed a great day at Salisbury Plains ...

The place is a great place to build up confidence for off roading with big bikes.....the great thing is when I move to East Devon -it's about the same distance so I could meet you guys there........

Oh Welshy, what can I say, I've never even seen you get a bike wet before let alone muddy, well done Sir, wish I could have been with you (but upright of course )
I assume you will leave it muddy for at least 6 months now and dine out on the story of off road heroics? How are the Battlewings off road?
Still OK for lunch on Saturday?

 

[Thorium]

Pictures of Worthing's GS bath.........
If you notice that Thorium even though he was first to Worthing Welsh when he went in the water - refused to get his feet wet to help............

There are a couple of misconceptions in the previous posts, I will try to clarify things.

First, I am glad I got a tad bit of credit for for actually being the one helping mr Welsh right his bike, and in the process getting one my boots slightly wet. Unfortunately this unselfish act of bravery was not properly documented.

Second, as I moved around to the left river bank I was determined to face the current at the deep end (sharing Worthing Welsh' misfortune) and getting my feet wet. However, I thought my boots would stand a better chance if I took them off.

Captain GSA and Worthing Welsh, please don't let the fact that your boots were more damp than mine come between us. This group has my standing commitment to always come to the rescue, and I can also offer help/guidance when it comes to choosing the correct path. (Hint: Sometimes the most efficient way does not require flotation devices. )

A couple of more pictures below:


Teamwork, that's what it's all about. (Somebody has to take the pictures)

Premature Dave, wandering around with his top box, wondering what is left of his digital camera.
We'll hand it to BMW, their top boxes are engineered to withstand falling off.
We just wished they were engineered not to fall off.

Captain GSA, with his Touratech camouflage manifold protector. Notice how well it blends in with the background.

Oooh........... does my grass look big in this?.....

 

[chrisjk]

I see Captain is practicing his walking on water - well the right foot seems OK at least...

The vid shows very clearly that other skills might need to be practiced as well - or is it just time for some off-road tyres?

Looks like you guys had a great day out!

 

[Gaulois]

Thanks again to the Captain for an excellent day out. Really enjoyed the tracks and the company. Left you to go back on the motorway as changing gear was difficult.
I'll get my pictures up tonight, though they are remarkably similar to what we've already seen but not as good as Millard's

 

[EggChaser]

Hmm I could get to seriously hate being on call when you guys end up having all the fun.

I will have you know i once road in the winter and it was snowing ...so there.

Battlewings, great road tyre, off road as about as usefull as a pair of slicks.

Yes i shall leave it muddy just to show you what mud looks like its the closest your bike will ever come to it

See you saturday.

millard you are great bloke but ffs..........drop the accent at least when you are typing.........

It was bad enough having one foreign guy we couldn't understand 'Thorium'...ahem. (I am excused as I was born in sarf London and speak proper the Queens English...innit) but to have two on a ride out........






next time mate......................

Anyway, get back to work, you're obviously not gainfully employed. I have the excuse of being semi retired.

When's the next run BTW? Or are you still cleaning that birds nest from your manifold?

 

[Dave The Driver]

Gaulois and PrematureDave..........

Photos and Vid please...................

My bike looks like a GSA should look like .............

I still have to wait for the thi9ng to come but will put sonething on.......WTS

Great pics of me taking a quick dip, cheers Millard, also the vid came out well, thought we had missed the captains off road adventure, cheers guys for a great day and a good laugh, looking forward to the next one. Oh and schoolboy motox does not equate to off road riding god/world champion as i think i proved I also took note of who jumped in to rescue me....bloody foreigners...see can't trust them.....they just stand there and laugh keeping their feet dry I see no posts from Dave, does this mean he is busy cleaning the house

I was f%ck last night went to bed 9:20ish

House work done this mornning (bath & two bogs)

......ok ok....





My boots are drying with last weeks MCN inside them.....


The funny thing is he wanted to take his boots off and then help......


Got a call from him........he has new software that he can use to enlarge parts of his recording so hopefully it'll be a little better than his first attempt on this forum......

Now motoGP ........... Laguna Secca ..........

Getting .......getting and it will let me zoom in on your off......

Was it worth documenting

My boots might get wet

Note to self put Thorium up front next time

You may have noticed that i have dropped my deep Welsh valleys accent just so you guys can understand me, don't know why the other foreign chaps can't do the same, it must be a real bind for you English gentlemen, after all you did'nt have an empire for nothing.

 

[millard]

Wi a bloke called Panos leading a group consisting of Gaulois, Worthing Welsh, a Nordy and a Jock it seems to me that premature Dave is the only one with the right to complain about foreigners,,,which he did,,,frequently

How very dare you, I resemble that!

 

[Gaulois]

Here are my 'efforts' (they're so familiar you're going to think I nicked everyone else's).

Captain's been Gardening

Testing Boot impermeability

I forgot to add a quick thanks to the Captain for the free tour of various back gardens around the Hog's Back. Wasn't expected but much appreciated

 

[Gaulois]

Second attempt.

Until I work out how to post images to the site you can see them by following the linky

Thanks for the translation link .......... I have printed a copy so I'll bring it along next time - perhaps we'll have a conversation where both people understand each other .......

I too am semi retired ............ looks like we have something in common apart from being foreign ..........

Like a panther protecting his pups he lead us from the beaten track to a more secure route where we were able to find ourselves and at the point where we could go no further we turned around in someones garden and made our way back to the A31 hogs back indeed we were lost and he has satnav























Thanks Gaulois completly forgot about that
