Arm bands won't stop a 1200 GSA sinking, but worth a shot.
Sunday 13th..
Provided i've got my new sprockets and chain fitted (i have the chain, just waiting on sprockets), who's in for this sunday (13th)?
So far:
Puma
Bakerman ??

It looks like both are going ahead- i'll start another thread for the 20th.
Why would people go twice? Simple. Salisbury plain is huge, and at a rough guestimate, is around 40 miles across. In this space are littered hundreds of byways.
You would really have to be shifting to ride every byway in one day, and is this is supposed to be an easy going rideout, that isn't going to happen.
Also the place changes so much. I've been riding it for around 10 years now, and still get thrown by the way the seasons affect the area.
Why else would you go twice?? cos it's fun

And there is loads of muddy holes.......(normallyhow the plain works for me)
I really think my new F800GS is going to hate me but i cant resist the urge not to go before winter. :O Will see how things go with weather just before the 20th. Not sure how well its going to be with a restricter fitted. Less than a quarter throttle ;/

not fussed if you cancel as its just me Sunday, Nathan .
I think you might be surprised- while it will make lofting the front a little difficult, it might make things a little easier when the going gets slippery.
Meeting point for sunday (both the 13thand 20th):

Come along benGs you will have a cracking day. 
Yeah ill be there as long as the deal goes ahead with a BMW on here in the week. Hopefully if not latest Saturday to pick it up. Shame it gets dark so quickly now as its hard coming up after my parents finished work. Will be on standard tyres so if its raining i wont bother. Cant wait though.

Rough idea of how many are going?

Hi johnny,
I'm still heading out- just need to replace a bearing first.
Looks like numbers will be a little thin on the ground, which should make things a little more entertaining!
Will see you tomorrow

Sad to say I'm not going to be able to make the ride... My left hand carb is pissing out fuel and I don't have the time to fix it before the 20th... and of as yet... neither have I the know how! Time to start reading!
