Bugger! I guess that's why they're referred to as shake downs though. It's a cracking bike and certainly goes well
NOS one found and ordered! 851 given a good gallop to Cadwell and back this morning and nothing dropped off... so I think we're calling it a successful weekend all in all. When the sun comes out there's no place finer than Lincs, even with all the doilums on the road.
Anyone out and about tomorrow? May take a ride up to squires for a brew if anyone fancies it? @El Toro @bettes @Exige
I’m meeting one of the guys from Manchester in Glossop around 9am then we’re heading across to CMC in Chesterfield for 10.30 to meet a friend from Nottinghamshire. Could meet you there.?
We are going to have a ride up to Helmsley as it’s the DOCGB meet. Starts around 1030 so we will likely have brek up there.
I used to go to Helmsley 2-3 times a week when I lived up north and Helmsley was a biking Mecca. Then they started charging bikes for parking and the last few times I’ve been there was no one there at all. Sad.
Yep, it definitely had an impact. Not been to the meet up there and I see on Facebook there are usually a few that gather, so it’s an opportunity for a nosy and a ride. Not had Hattie on the back of the MHR yet either, so will be good to know how that works out. Will be a gentle run up on the old dobbin, can’t keep up with the modern bikes on such an elderly motorsickle...
Not been there before so sounds like a good choice of destination to me @El Toro. Hopefully the weather will play ball and I will have a run down and see if I can find my way there without too many wrong turns I may be a little later than half 10 though. Hopefully see you tomorrow
You were both being very kind in not leaving me too far behind over the tops... it must have been like walking an old person to the shops.
@Ben Mallinson, @El Toro, fancy going down to Peter-bog-horror next weekend? It’s the MCN jobby and Ducati Owners Club are displaying a few bikes. Might pop down on Sunday...
I was talking to Martyn Edwards about this today whilst the Diavel was in for it’s first service. Unfortunately we’ve got visitors all next weekend.
See you tomorrow. Try and get there for 10.30/11am if you can. We’re heading into the Peak District from there
I'll try my best Terry, don't hang about for me if you're going on from there though... I'm just looking forward to getting out for a trundle and CMC is somewhere I've been meaning to visit for a while... Seems like a nice run down from our end too. Hopefully see you there
Sunday could work for me @bettes, I think Mrs M is at work so I may well be at a loose end Let me know when you decide if you're heading out or not
