I have a pass out for tomoro

Good lad

I too will be there come hell and high water (which it looks like we'll get both ).

I was thinking it may be an idea to run 40-50psi in the tyres to aid floatation

napalm pissing bikers

Sounds like you might need a trip to the Docs fella, have you given in to Johns advances and found that he's unclean

Did somebody squeek

This leaves things open for a bit more daring doooooo Only Gaz on a 1200, the mans a star

 

[SkyGod]

Its not only me on a GS is it?

 

[timeandtide]

At least we won't have loads of upset walkers

Just for that I'll probably come!!!
But looking at weather even tho' I've swapped part-worn Heidenaus for bald Tourances I don't think I'll be on GS

If Johnny bales on his GS its the DR for me i think

Hi guys,

After nearly drowning on the way home down the lanes from Owler Bar tonight, and having only 25% on the Conti's, I think I'd best chicken out of tomorrow's jaunt

Would definitely like to build up the off roading experience on the GS, but tomorrow might not be the best day to start! I'm thinking I need to get a small thumper as well, for some real 'mucky fun'.

Apologies for being a party pooper, and hope to meet all / some of you at the East Mids Camping weekend...........

i was contemplating coming aswell ill wait for my new tyres i think

 

[Rushy]

Who is left then and are we still taking it easy. Just got some gear ready but I am wanna make sure we are still doing some easy stuff as the conditions aren't exactly favourable towards a complete first timer even if I am on an off roader not a big D/Sport.

[TED 1972]

nope ... ive just been out with dogs its horrendous and my bikes worth more than a bit of bravado anyway hope you have a nice day out

 

[SkyGod]

Ian, we will go at the ability of whoever is there. Should still be 5 or 6 of us so do come along.
There wont be anything to you cant handle on your first time out.

A few pics

Cracking day that lads! We cant say it was uneventfull,,,,

Glad to see the weather didn`t keep us from having a blast.

Hope the bike gets sorted Phil and Mick I hope your ankle is ok.

 

[Flipfly]

Cheers guys, great day. Big thanks to Rich and Mick for bending my gear lever back into a useable position.

That picture doesn't do justice to the conditions. I hit a bast*rd tree root and whoooooop there it goes

The bikes a bit worse for wear as am I, feel like i've been punched in the breast bone by Mike Tyson. The joys of off roading Hopefully it'll be sorted tomorrow and ready for Friday night at EM.

Really upset to hear of Micks ankle Feckin top bloke and I hope it's not too bad and heals quickly (did anyone get a piccy ).

Thanks again fellas, Mick hope you get fixed soon

 

[TED 1972]

glad to hear you had a good ride out , get well soon Mick sorry i bottled it!

 

[Harv]

Thanks to all that made an outsider welcome!
Hope all the broken bikes and limbs mend soon.
If Mick is pi$$ed off now.... wait till he see's that 'orange' sticker on his screen!

 

[Flipfly]

I spent a sore couple of hours in the garage and the Dak is straightened and all firmly back in place as it should be.

Definately need to get that KTM front end in it soon

 

[Merlin999]

I don't beleive it! After all you've said about KTM and the people who ride them...

I thought you were close to turning "orange"

Do they make sidecars...?
