Hope to meet you all on Sunday but if I'm not there by 11:00 please dont wait

Hiya,

Its going to be another georgeous day tomorrow so its seems plain wrong not to get the bike out so if its ok, i'd like to tag along. I'll get to Newlands around 10.30.

I'm on an '06 Red GS.

Just got back, nice ride, cold start -6 when I set off, 12 turned out

Some new faces some old

Great idea, can't wait till the next


Shep,

 

[Captain GSA]

Thanks all for such a great turn out.......

Just got back from Boxhill after a really nice ride there.

I hope you all got back safe and sound- please check in with any photos that you may have taken..........I forgot the camera......

Let me know if you are planning another in the future...........we must do something similar when the weather gets better- Coast run for some fish n chips?

Ride safe..........

 

[autogs]

newlands run

great run today esp last bit over albury and ranmoor,good job by the captain looking forward to next one

 

[kevmeister]

great run

Thanks for a crackin trip Captain. Looking forward to doing it a gain soon. I've attached a couple of shots.

 

[Slowdown]

I didn't made Newlands 'till 3ish

But yes, another one soon would be good!

 

[GSmonkey]

Looks like you had a good run - will hopefully be making the next rideout

 

[Captain GSA]

Thanks kevmeister for photos- I'm sure there were a couple of other tossers that took some snaps......?

 

[Banjaxed]

Ha! So it was you lot...

There I was enjoying a bit of solitude, when bu**er me, along comes a bunch of them noisy motorsickle things. All burbling and whatnot...

I'd thought to meself, "Where can I go for a bit of peace and quiet?"

Lurgashall Winery?

Not bl**dy likely!

Now of course I wish I'd read the damned board before going out for a ride. Could have talked endless bollix with the demented.

Captain, was that you who stopped to make sure I was OK? Sir, you're a gent! I'll keep an eye on the board next time and if you want suggestions for some lovely country lanes a bit further south, let me know - my part of the world!

Hope you guys had fun - perfect weather, eh?

Cheers!

Banjaxed, yes it was me! I would have had a chat but you were very quick to wave me on

Was that an SE you were on or just a white tank cover?......nice...

Perhaps you can organise a ride then next time or PM me and I'll arrange it with you as a guide..........

 

[Mart-p]

Thanks for getting us all organised Captain GSA! Looking forward to the next one.

 

[Banjaxed]

Hiya Captain

Sorry if it looked like I waved you on - I'd have been happy to chat, but with all the others coming up behind us, I reckoned you were a man on a mission!

Yes, it is an SE. I've had a silver/red Adventure since 2002 when they first came out and to be honest, was going to keep it for years to come.

And then I saw an advert from a local guy selling one of the last SE 1150s made... Lots of bits on it and a fair price (if no bargain!!). So daft bu**er that I am, I bought it. Will transfer all the tricky bits from the old to the new bike and then sell the silver/red jobbie. SE should last for a good while yet.

Possibly.

Of course, on Saturday I took a ride over to Bahnstormer and looked at the 2008 1200 Adventure. Shouldn't have done that...

I'll have a think about a route a bit further south - we can use Whiteways at Bury Hill as an equivalent to Newlands Corner (which I also visit from time to time). Usually lots of bikes there on a sunny Sunday morning. And the breakfast baps are really quite acceptable!

Cheers.
