Bike change for me.

The 10R needs new tyres, they're both rather close to the wear limits and the rear is also flat as a flat thing.

Plus the bikes in lots of bits as the bloody frame slider kit I got off EBay has a nut missing (which I can't find one of anywhere local - M10 flange nut, metric coarse pitch, 14mm socket size).

So, I'll be dawdling along on my Yammy Tenere XT660.

RSV Gone, can you email me the route please?

Don't know how many others will be plodding along but the Ten likes sitting at 80 or so, so most of the rest of you will be miles ahead of me smile

Can you not just post it here? Or do we not like the idea of being invaded by others?

Hmmm, clashes with a run to Skegvegas with the TOMCC...I'll let you know closer to the time.

It's a hard choice, bimbling along with a load of geriatrics on old oil drippers or being left behind by you lot!

Very nice route smile

Part of it I use whenever I want to spend twice as long getting to work on the bike. There is a bend on that bit that looks deceptive, you think it's a normal T junction, pull out and a couple of times I've almost ended up in the smelly ditch. It's tighter than it looks. And I've seen it catch out other bikers too.

Might go left when we get back on the A5 and head for the Super Sausage (if it's open?) for lunch.

Which bit do you mean? I can't picture it.

Hey just got the route many thanks, I'll do the norm and sit behind someone and enjoy the day.

Bike parked up now but thankfully got 500miles in since Wed, forgot how much I'd missed using her.

(Can't figure out how to drop a pin on a certain location)

It looks like a normal T junction but it's almost caught me out a few times and I've seen others pull out and wobble round as they've had to correct their line. Don't know what it is about it!

Nah, these guys are SERIOUSLY slow, especially if Dick brings his Model P.
