Guest Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 yeah, it was way too cold today. Spent it on the river trent in notingham, soaked right through and absolutely freezing. I'm going to wait for it to be a little warmer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acemastr Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 It was lovely today, had leathers on. I need a massive empty roundabout people, where can i find one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nman1 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I was out yesterday morning, though every one else was wimping out. Met a guy at the X services at Peterborough on an old limited edition blade. Black white and red colours. Fantastic looking bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 there are plenty of large roundabouts sawtry way that are fairly quiet, so much so in fact that MCN did their knee down video on one of them (was a few years back mind!). I presume this is your aim also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acemastr Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 Tis indeed Or at least see how far the bike will go, currently the front wheel seems to want to stand up, I'm having to keep input into it to keep it leant over, trying to figure out why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 got to get me road tax starting it from 1st of april then should be up for a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nman1 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Glad to read Darren, lets hope it gets a bit warmer around that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nman1 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Did you get out peeps over the weekend ????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Aye, me an aaron went on the kimbolton route in the afternoon, nothing wrong with the CBR, just new tyre syndrome it seems! Great to be out on dry roads, perhaps was being a little silly in places..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nman1 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Sounds good. Gave it a miss yesterday as felt crap and had no energy what so ever. Soon be organising those Sunday runs to hunny or somewhere that has a nice pub for a sunday roast. Mmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acemastr Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 I need twisty stuff! I refuse to go in straight lines on these tyres, i'm not squaring them off!That really wasn't that crazy Dave, that was quite subdued to my usual runs, blast it down the straights, hammer the brakes on, lob it over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 ok, subdued for you, bit crazy for me. Slamming breaks on isn't quite my style, more of an (old man) advanced technique of slow in, fast out! by slow in, I mean slowing down at least 1/2 mile before corner....dull! I'll get my leathers on next time and get the knees scuffed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorbandit Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 27 th prob a few running to rutland water if anyone interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Sounds good to me. No rowing that sunday, as it would have been done on the saturday - BOAT RACE day, lets all watch Oxford shoe the tabs. Having said that, anyone fancy a trip to henley on sunday 27th? it's the other boat races, women/lightweights etc. bit of a boring ride down there mind. I'm sure someone would know a more interesting one. Rutland looks more likely... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seabluegal Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I might be up for Sunday 27th, it is my birthday week and am having lots of celebrations so not quite sure what's happening.Certainly won't be able to make it if it's an early start...!!!

lau Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Managed to make it out sunday...although my hands were pretty much frozen after an hour, definatly will be out again this saturday.Cant make 27th unfortunatly...bday celebrations also on 26th, will be suitably hungover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Out this saturday eh? anyone else?I'll be out on pedal bike at least.....motorbiking will be more fun - where you heading Lau? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
