SNOWDONIA off road ride. Sunday 4th March

[rocks]

Relegated..

if you want to come on a big GS you'll need to be pretty handy

Nutts, I think that relegates me from the ride.. oh well bike is in for service and repairs on saturday, so probably best to give it a day or so before braking it again..

Fanum.. its amazing how entertaining a GS/GSA can be.. I think I spent as much time looking up at the world from the ground as I did riding the thing on Timpo's trip , but I wouldnt have missed it for the world. Have fun..

Got my eye on an as new 2004 FE380e at the mo.......hmmmm

That not quite how I heard it, I've heard you have been 'told' to buy it
A sleeved down 450 to 380 for trail riding would be very useable

BTW sell me steering damper off the old one

Oh, very funny, cheeky git.

Test rode a 380 this morning...absolutely fantatsic, hooked! So tractable, smooth, linear, useable and still pull yer face off! I'm waiting on a phone call.......

And no, the damper would be required.....experts like you dont need them anyway! Allegedly

Now there's only so much abuse a man can take before before

 

[sycomoto]

give me an idea where to meet. i'm new to this you know......

 

[Hew]

Meeting @ Pentrefoilas car park next to the A5 @ 0900hrs for a 0930 start or at my place near Corwen before 0830hrs.

I think Tim gave it away in the first sentence of the thread

 

[sycomoto]

arrr good point.

opps sorry i'm having a blond moment. sorry.

 

[Timolgra]

One point, can everyone make sure they arrive at Pentrefoilas fueled up.
If your coming from the north the nearest garage is Betws y Coed, from the south (A5) about 5 miles. Over Denbigh moor, miles away

Did the route today just to check suitablity for the bigger bikes

 

[RickA]

Big Bikes?

Hmmmm,

Just read your other post with your 650 stuck up to the tank!

Is Tina still buiried up there or did you manage to get your 'helper' out of that huge hole!

I can just see the HP disappearing with a few bubbles marking it's exit....

Cheers, Worried Rick.

 

[Ian Lynch]

I was going to see if there was any spaces left but you have already answered my question. hope to see you again soon.

 

[GEH007]

Tim,

All is looking good.

Had a call from Clarkey, they are finishing screwng it all together this afternoon so should be ready for collection in the morning

Cant wait for Sunday now; playtime!!!

 

[Fanum]

Sorry chaps, but as it stands I'm not going to be able to make it now

Waiting for some money to clear.....it should have been in last night but it isn't....I even put some brand spanking TKC's on this morning in preparation but when they refused my card, I discovered that things aren't going to plan.

I've just spoken to Tim and I'll come up if it clears tonight (it's possible) but as it stands, looks like I'm going to miss a cracking weekend

Have fun

Bill

 

[Timolgra]

Bad luck bill, save the tyres for next time

 

[sycomoto]

[Hew]

Filled the two tanks up and now ready for the off. See you in the morning

 

[Timolgra]

Nothing can stop us now it's going to be a wet afternoon

If it looks like anyone is going to be late arriving, my mob is 07967 301096 but be aware that reception is marginal.

 

[sycomoto]
