I think most of us are heading for the Chichester bike show. I would join you at the Chalet Ricky but better coffee & grub at The Foundry motorcycle breakfast I think which is a stones throw from the Chi show. I aim to be there 9.30ish. The real reason I'm popping in there? They mixed an old MultiStrada with a 999 & I wanna see this mother Foundry Motorcycle Limited Unit 7, Littlemead Business Centre Tangmere Road Shopwhyke West Sussex, PO20 2EU United Kingdom
Polished the Yama hahahaha so will give it a runout after 10 ish when the Mrs and her girls do this Father's Day shit (oooop) said the SSS word, so have a window for a few hours and will join the Yams at Box
^ MTO seven and MTO nine derivatives available for a 40 minute run out even if its only to get your free T-shirt :smile: Demo organiser has a friendly laid-back approach to ride outs, quite enjoyed it.
Chris I presume both parts of licence are needed and a waiver signed Do they let you out on your own, or organised bimble? Might see you there later about 11:30ish with vince.
I was out this morning with Stuart at The Foundry and then the Chichester Classic/Custom Bike Fair. Good fun and it's the first ride out I've had where I've accompanied a diesel bike Father's Day duties for this afternoon but I may be out to Box, etc this evening if time allows.
Took the oportunity to have an organised ride out on the Yamaha my09 at the Box hill Yamaha extravaganza. Loved the bike, from the first moment sitting on it felt right. Oodles of linear torque from the eager triple engine, great brakes, good instruments and gear indicator, didn't manage to work the engine very hard as we were chaperoned, but felt like it had plenty of power. A small but significant point ( Ducati take note!) Superb grippy footrests as standard. The only thing I didn't like which I heard repeated from other riders and was pre warned by the Yamaha people was the horn button is too close to the indicators, and the Mode button was also too close to the hazard switch, issues which will quickly be addressed no doubt. Now wearing my free Yamaha T shirt.
Was at Box til late morning, saw Chris and the mythical 851! Good "eh oop!" Comedy compere for the stunt show...reminiscent of Blackpool Pier variety turn!
