There some stunning b roads between Colchester and Nottingham a ride up through Stamford into the Vale of Belvoir onto Notts can't be beat, it's all down to time and planning.

Mr Fro Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 puff wonder what would happen if I was to press the report button and get an admin to deal with this blatant user bashing? Ban him!I'll be going A134/17/52 (probably). Should just about scrape it on a tank of fuel in 2 1/2 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 Should just about scrape it on a tank of fuel in 2 1/2 hours. Not boasting but I will only need 1 fill up from leaving home these 25 litre tank tourers are great for things like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RantMachine Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Both my bikes have a 250 mile tank range, whichever one I ride I'm not gonna have to worry about fuel stops The question is, do I ride the CG and take twice as long to get there as the BMW on a good day, or ride the BMW and risk not getting there at all...

kickflare Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I'd come.. but i would have only had my bike for 4 days and i'd still be breaking in the engine. Much sad T.T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RantMachine Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Guess you'd better get a whole lot of riding in between now and the meet, then I remember breaking in my Lexmoto... I was hitting a service interval every weekend, even had to cycle to work some days in order to avoid going over the mileage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hitting a service interval every weekend, even had to cycle to work some days in order to avoid going over the mileage I live within walking distance of where i have to go lol, so its fine for me. I'm only using the bike for pleasure runs ;p I would ride more... but I'm still wary since the drivers my way seem to think that person with L plates means you have to crawl up their ass. Grumble. So if anyone wants to ride out with meee ;p *coughHintcough* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RantMachine Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Try taking a crack at the Challenge 100 (link to the thread appears on every page), that's a great way to do some serious miles on a 125 and build confidence. I managed to rack up 14,000 miles on my 125 in just over a year And I did pretty well too, think I came something like 5th in the challenge that year...
