Thursday 27th..... ride out

[vincent adv]

Any one fancy a ride out next week?
Yorkshire Dales , few good lanes and roads
meet in Kettlewell in the big car park, you cant miss it.(11am)
ok for the big bikes.

 

[Richie3264]

do fancy it, but working

Why are all the ride outs on days when im workingblagblah

 

[Andy_E]

I may or may not be working next Thursday, if not I'll try to get along, but won't know until early Wednesday evening

 

[majorbumsore]

I will make one in, I'm missing the ride in the dales today due to work.
let me know if your still up for it.

 

[vincent adv]

yes i'm still up for it . there's some new lane's ive seen i'ed like to go on.

 

[majorbumsore]

What you doing up at this time on a sunday, I'm workin so no lie in for me.

I'm a def for Thursday, I'll be on the HP2, with Karoos on so not to quick on the tarmac is that ok?

Trying out my new Technoflex rear shock which I think might be a bit hard but this should give me the answers I need, a bit of road and some lanes will make my mind up.
I can be in Kettlewell any time I'm coming from near Hornsea.

 

[vincent adv]

it'll be more lane's than road riding hp2 very cool bike.

 

[majorbumsore]

sounds good to me Vincent,
what are you riding by the way?
I went through all the GS's from the 1100 onwards having 2 or 3 of each then fancied a change so bought the HP2, I've got 3 sets of wheels touratech alli luggage and lots of other interchangable bits so its 3 bikes in one for me.
tourer, SM and green laner. not as comfy or practical as my 1200GSA which i had last but more fun when naked, thats the bike not me of course.


Anyone else out there going to make one in????

 

[Andy_E]

Now know that I'll definitely be working on Thursday so can't make this one.

 

[majorbumsore]

Never mind Andy, I seem to be the one who misses out with work normally.

see if we can organise a few more before we lose the weather.

[majorbumsore]

NICE.
I love the vids mate, looking forward to thurs. The vids have just excited my chuckle muscle a bit more.
I was actually looking at the 990ADV as a possible next bike but sticking with the HP2 for now and probably forever to be honnest.
just getting it to the point where it is everything I need.
looking forward to the lanes.

 

[vincent adv]

[majorbumsore]

Looks like it was fun (up to a point). Hope majorbumsore's bike's not in too bad a way, sorry I couldn't make it - I'd much rather have been out with you guys than stuck in Barnsley for the day (apologies to any Barnsleyites) and hope to make another time.
