rob m Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Another 120 miles under my belt, mainly in West Sussex (see earlier post).Sea on the south coast is so clear, because of the reduced pollution apparently. Nice place to eat my sandwich. Loads of bikes out and barring one or two, everybody seemed to be behaving themselves.https://i.imgur.com/jXHcgcG.jpg' alt='IMGUR>'>https://i.imgur.com/M2xfpQd.jpg' alt='IMGUR>'> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 A few more pics and a bit of a vid if possible and you could put it in the Ride Reports section [mention]rob m[/mention].Desperately needs more quality in there due to the recent of influx of shit that some people are trying to pass off as a "Ride Report".

Bungleaio Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 What did I do to it? Rode the thing, 200 miles today and loved it. First proper day out of the year, I can't wait to be able to put the panniers on and go camping for a couple of nights on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynax Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I only went shopping on it today, but i did go to two different places one of which was Go Outdoors which is finally open, so i bought some fishing gear, got my two small poles some new elastic, also got some mackerel feathers, a small landing net for the silvers and a small tripod type folding stool, i can probably manage one night sea fishing trip every couple of weeks, and a couple of afternoons each week for some course fishing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Taylor Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Intended to get the near complete project out for a few miles. Came back 80 miles later then wiped off the fork oil that had sprayed all down the right hand side of the bike!Seals on order, a job for the weekend.

brad93 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Couple hundred miles ridden today to cat & fiddle road. Was absolutely rammed so not much fun! Good ride around matlock, bakewell, Ashbourne and surrounding areas though a lot of police speed traps about too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hitcher Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Noticed you live in Surrey, be careful with regards to a smaller plate, Surrey Traffic Police have been going all out on plates and bikers in general the past two weeks: Thanks for the heads up!, it shouldn’t be a huge issue, while it’s a smaller one it’s not taking the piss, just a bit smaller than standard. No worries! Went out for a ride earlier, 2 bike patrols on the A24 southbound after Dorking and 2 more near Box Hill. Didn't see any in West Sussex I saw them on my way back from Sussex last week, on the dual carriageway opposite the Esso station before the roundabout with the chicken on it, cars and bikes, seems that’s where they’re lurking now that further up towards Rykas is all average speed cameras, I don’t really bother with Box Hill anymore, usually just ride straight past it, the road up to Newlands Corner is nice though!.
