Me and my friends have organized our usual pre-Hastings run which will start 10:00am on FRIDAY 14th APRIL (GOOD FRIDAY) From Box Hill to Hastings through coastal roads, the ride goes through really nice bends and twisties, and spectacularly picturesque sceneries and there will be the usual stops for coffees, including a Brighton wonder… (it’s the done thing, y’know, Madeira Drive etc.)
Anyone interested to join this ride please put your name and your bike down the list below so i will know who to look for on the day… (any bike is welcome, rider essential)
GixxerSteve (GSXR750) HEADING THE RIDE
Hyperlink (R1)
SlapheadBandit (Bandit1300)
TeddiBair (XT660X)
Buck (XT660X)
Myself (XT660X or mystery courtesy bike, mine’s due for service about that time)
Buck’s mate (R1)
Lara Croft (SV650 or XT660?)
Dave&wife (SV1000)
Jimbo (some italian bike… not a ducati but very similar, cagiva maybe? oh its red i know that much and oh… it goes like the clappers too!!)
I’m interested too. Also my friends Sunny (and maybe Tracey and maybe Barry), but don’t count us in just yet either. Will let you know in a day or two.
Assuming that by N10, you mean somewhere around Tottenham, then have a look at this link which suggests that by car you are looking at a trip of about 1 hour and 10 minutes = 70 minutes in an ideal non traffic world. If you are good at filtering take 20% off that time and 70 minutes become 56 minutes just under an hour then.
I seriously reccommend this one, we did it last year and had a great time. It is a long day but well worth it. Gives you a great opportunity to get really used to your bike. Odd trips here and there and long motorway journeys (mostly what I do!) don’t tune you into the bikes handling and performance.
On a personnal note it would be great to meet a few more of you lot!
Ok guys we now have about 10 defiinte and a few maybe’s
This message is for all those who are joining us on this ride:
Dear friends, I can’t stress enough the following statement:
The intention of this ride is to have a safe, sensible and fun day out, those who take place will be responsible for their own actions and must have in mind the safety of the other riders and vehicles as well as their own at all times
We don’t expect to have people showing off or riding to impress beyond their abilities.
This is not a race and those who will attempt to ride in a dangerous manner will be kindly asked to continue their ride away from the group and on their own.
Myself and Gixxer-Steve who are organizing and heading this ride will not accept any responsibility for people binning their bikes through their own fault and I declare that this forum is in no way responsible for eventual accidents as it serves only the purpose of displaying the intention of our get together and the organization of the ride. I am of the understanding that all your bikes are insured, taxed and roadworthy otherwise you might as well stay at home and have your easter egg instead
Our tail gunner is a certified first aider and will carry a first aid kit which is meant only for minor cuts and grazes. Anything bigger will be dealt by professional paramedics and lets hope we won’t need to resort to that.
Look forward to see you all on BoxHill 09:45am sharp - the rides starts at 10:00am, we will wait the customary 15 minutes for late arrivals anything after that is considered a no-show and we are off.
Was really looking forward to this one and am gutted at having to retire but i shall obviously be doing my utmost to get out at sometime over the holiday period
Had a great ride, blew away afew cobwebs, lost the speed freaks (steve, dan, and? sorry never caught your name) on the A21 so carried on home with Jolyon, left him to go up the A2 and try and find himself back north of the river.
Will keep my eyes in here, for further rides and try and have a chat if my PC will let me
