just got in too, did m23,m25 m4 on way home after visit to triumph dealer. Good company today, had a larf, pity about the turnout., weather was beautiful too!!!
Just wanted to say a big ‘thank you’ guys and gals for making this a cool day out. True gents - too true. I nearly didn’t go due to the rain, but so glad I did - persuaded by the fact that if it did rain I’d get some much needed ‘wet’ riding in. Great confidence giver for the newbie in me …and those pointers to improve my technique won’t go amiss.
Tired now from all that sea air and concentration!!! Yawn…stretch…snoozzzzzzeee… hopefully will not dreaming of shoving those push bikes outta the way (gggrrrhhh!)
Do some of the ladies here feel more comforatble with a girls only ride out than joining in a normal ride? (Except for the 4/5 blokes in attendance :ermm
Shewolf? Personally i dont mind who i ride out with as you know, we have always had a good laugh…but some of the newbies dont want to feel they have to ride like the wind to play catch up or get lost routine? Also some of the others like the idea of more woman to men ratio, simply cos the men chaperones act “better” with em !! (their male “softish” side comes out …all good stuff tho !!!)
And Ginger? There was an accident, looked bad too, when we were heading off from Boxhill on to Brighton (meant to be Worthing!!)…but they blocked off the road and it hadnt happened that long so we thought it was possibly some bikers who had left Boxhill for a rideout as well…hope whoever it was, is ok though, cos bike was a mess?
We were all a bit surprised coming home to find it had rained !!! and not JUST slightly,by the state of the roads…flooded out in some places, trees uprooted and lying in the road, in others…flipping heck…we were all boiling hot and sitting near the beach in the sun, weird weather or what? Still it was all good experience for the newbies…mud,wood,water,grass,stones…all over the country lanes… nice one
Mike? Just hope next time whoever puts names down, actually turn up…its not fair drafting in other men to help out and then finding the huge number expected dont turn up…i mean, dont get me wrong, everyone has things happen that cant be helped…but not all at the same time surely? But think yesterday the men to woman ratio was fine…the cornering system helped out cos there was a few more of ya then needed …but Matt did a fine job at the front…with you at the back with Westie, and AndyP and Smiled running up and down all day…must admit it gives me a buzz seeing them ride up and down all the time…ha ha
Thanks to Andyp for meeting me and Abbeyj and taking us down to Poppins…and thanks to Poppins for opening up early and cooking us brekkie !!!
Michelle, thanks for organising, it was a great day out and thanks to the other ‘girls’ for corner duties. You were great and didn’t lose me once, that must be a first!
… and Blade for the chatter!!! Specially the bits at the seaside.
first of all i would like to point out that smiled and myself were not taking up the rear as that was westies job and he did it well, coming home with only 2 corner markers was hard work, the poor gixxer and ninja had to work for it but we managed,
Andrea
i think the conversations on the beach [ including westies ] need to be left off a public forum including the great details but i will say we have got a good imagination, glad to see the 2 new girls go off to test the water temprature,
shame the battery died on the camera but will what we have to jay on wednesday to put up for us.
a BIG THANKS to poppins for opening up hrs early just to cook us all breakfast
mike if you need me for the next one you only got to ask.
Good job the camera died !! Wouldnt want the sausage saga on film !! Yeh, know u and Smiled had a job to do on way home but yep top marks to u and chrissie and smiled you kept us all in our group all the way back !!!
Lets hope me and smiled get away with our little “indiscretion” with the yellow box on side of road (Andy said he saw some of em that had been set alight on way home !!! ) wasnt us !!!
Our group was just right and we had a laugh…smiled? u cracked me up…says hes in love with me (we are back to the sausage again me thinks ) !!!
I had a good day, nothing too fast…cept the odd blast to blow out the cobwebs…(thats one time when me and smiled DIDNT smile at the yellow box piece of doo doo ) !!!
Came home tired but had a good un like i said. Next one? i will be there…dont care if its just me turning up, know we will have a laugh…I found out yesterday that Westie has a thing about boobs, or MOOBS as he calls em and he dont like hairyness !!
