HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope you had a great day Alan!

Maveric and a great write up, good to have you back!

wish I was awake to join ya m8. Off to work again im fooked.but glad you had a good ride out Went your route via summerhouses and middleton teesdale mark but back via stanhope and wolsingham only 1 Downpour coming back but a great ride, I know what nights are like mark but it will all be worth it come Vagas time mate! Sounds good Dick!

At hartside with Alan having a big breakfast in the cafe all the best to Mels dad and see you soon mate!

No worries Dave but thinking of having a run up to hartside now cos the roads are much better, are you gonna have ride anywhere or is the weather poor? Strange one, so much support for this ride in the beginning and for everyone to drop out is a bit weird but whatever your all doing have a good day!

Recently got mine too! But i only wear them when im tired or the light is poor, so I know the time is coming when I'll need them permanently on the bike. I have tried them a couple of times and getting the arms of the glasses in past the helmet padding nearly takes my eyes out which is a bit ironic I also have the anti glare coating but can't really see the difference

No problem Dave, if I had 80 miles of motorway to ride I'd think twice too! have a good day anyway mate

Well I had to put in an annual leave day in so im still going think Alan (skelly) might be too, will give him a ring tonight.The weather could be variable and everyone has lives/work to commit to and if I'm the only one there......so be it.

I think Dick might be after one of these in the not to distant future flange

I thought motorcycle sales were picking up, its a shame when a long established dealership folds. When White Bros closed in Darlington traders came from all over before the Auction and pre bought most of the good stuff but there may still be a bargain or two to be had.

Welcome to the forum and hope to see you on some future rideouts!

Doesn't look good but how many times has Armageddon been coming and then..............nothing , so I will do as always and look out the window in the morning!

Thats a shame Mike my son came back from Paris on friday arriving at Newcastle airport he just got the Metro to Newcastle then train back. I offered to pick him up but he said cos of parking not to bother, there will be other rides though mate

As Dick said a great charity to support Gaz, have a great time and hope the weather is kind

Hope your feeling better now Dick! Great to see you again just a shame we didn't have more time, but I'm sure they'll be plenty of rideouts in the next few months!

As a technical Dinosaur, I am definitely the wrong person to give any advice on phones Dave but the Galaxy S3 android phone I have is amazing(to me anyway) and does everything I could possibly need and more! What's the main difference/advantage between an android phone and an iphone anyway?

Bandit K5 1200 (2005) Kawasaki er 500 (1997) and my daughter has a Honda XR 125 (2006,but she should be stepping up shortly hopefully) You must have a big garage Gaz!

No problem Mark, certainty sounds a lot more responsive now doesn't it? Think those coil sticks (absolute bargain mate) and plugs have made a massive difference. Got to say them busa's are very well put together. if you want we can check the throttle bodies when I get some vacuum pipe reducing valves

What a load of hassle been given a £25 3v visa gift card (no I hadn't heard of them either) it can only be used online, so our katherine needs a cheap topbox and I need some fork oil. So went online at Busters (M&p) total was £36.48 incl p+p Hmn! £11.48 short-fall and no provision on the order to add extra funds So before I confirmed I phoned there customer services to be told just pay extra via paypal, which I did......all good. so 3 days go by and I get an Email from Busters saying they do not accept the gift card!! and if I still want the order to pay the £25 pound owing via paypal which I did cos Im getting fed up! All sorted...................NO cos according to the gift card online account Busters have taken £2 off for their inconvenience, How can they if they don't accept the card? anyway rant over, sorry everyone but Bl**dy gift cards!!

Thanks everyone she is still buzzing takes me back a few years! One test to get through.When/if she passes then think I will bring her up to Hartside Dick

Look good, nice colour match

Passed with only 2 small mistakes but she said she was shaking with nerves but as Dick said soon settled down after the test started, has put straight in for her mod 2 and takes it end of June. Hope my nerves hold out!

Well our Katherine has just set off to do her mod1 test and its chucking it down weather. She is as nervous as hell so fingers crossed.

Does Mike know yet It's not me its my equipment he wants!! Is Steve off Mark? maybe have a look at the Ninja as well! see ya tomorrow mate!

Well done mate! I'm hitting the now! (but my HGV is bigger than yours! )
