The only reason you want me to go is so your not the slowest

At this rate I'm going to be so far behind, I will be in a different postcode to this 'awesome' lot ...

Postcode? More like county.

I'll ensure i am at the back so those wishing to press on can.. I'll just catch up at the next stop/junction. I am not a knee down legend i am afraid.

It's not a race chap ... Despite all the bullst and banter on here we look after each other. There will be no need to catch up... It's a good chance to explore some great roads and meet some awesome legends

Being serious this lot are a good bunch.

I've lost track now Stu, got Simon meeting me with two others before we head up to meet you - don't know if OCD and his pal will be with them also, may just be meeting at DB with Dave( Jazoli)....
Just a note guys, bumped into a mate who was out last Sat. afternoon, he was approaching DB from North (Sedbergh) last village on way , may have been Casterton I think he said, he took eye off ball a tad on his new bike ( 1200 Multistrada) and rolled into it at 58... He missed the 30 sign and was breaking but not quickly enough.... got a full on radar gun in his face from behind an unmarked RangeRover....cop scaled it down to an SP30... His fault totally , but built ups is built ups - eyes on- sure there will be reasonable " presence" around tomorrow....see you all then .

I'm with Simon mate tomorrow coming up to meet you. My mate has chickened out ... I think it was mentioning Simons man love that did it ...

StuB said:

Setting off in a mo. See you all soon.

Christ ... Thought I was up early

[Mr OCD]

Really enjoyed that ... A nice brisk run and good to meet some new and old faces ...

Starting to click with the Fireblander and appreciate what a great machine it really is when opened up.
Highlights of the day...

- Simon having a 'moment'
- Graham's sign language signals on the bike (no brake lights or indicators) ... He looked a right nutter!
- Dave and a guy on an R1 overtaking me and the R1 not quite making the corner. Oops!
- Rik hobbling around all day as the R1 is killing him
- Mr Bayliss making an appearance

StuB said:

Loon demonstrating the Rossi Leg Dangle, late braking technique.

What happened next???

[Mr OCD]

Tim85 said:

Brake lights on aswell, obviously back brake to keep it level. So what happened after this?

Glad no major dramas and looked a good turnout.

Well he didn't land up in the ditch unlike the guy on the R1 ... He stayed behind me after that!

[Mr OCD]

Tim85 said:

Oh dear, was the r1 a member? Never good.

No, some guy Dave picked up ...

[Mr OCD]

StuB said:

I arrive at corner very fast, I thinkI must apply brake at maximum, so just run a leetle on de outside, but Bayliss no pass me so Ees very good.

[Mr OCD]

A few pictures...

Waiting for Graham... whilst Simon was stuffing his face with MacD's...



Stop for fuel:



Another stop ... Mr Bayliss heads off:

StuB said:

The SRAD kept up well. Any footage from the GoPro?

Wouldn't mind seeing that Dave ... as you followed me for a while?

[Mr OCD]

Jazoli said:

There is footage yes but it won't be posted online as my speedo is broken and it was telling fibs all day, I have all the days riding, I will have a look tonight and upload it to Dropbox if you want to see how slow you were

Cheers mate... fker

I wasn't doing too badly in all honesty, but picked up on a few things I need to work on. Will be out most weekends now

I'd lost time getting past a Fireblade, that had a rider afraid to get hard on the power, even when doing fast road work with the lads

Once past him I was catching you, while I was riding one handed waving to my fans at the side of the road.

Kiss my arse.

Forgot to mention Graham taking piss at Simons anger of other drivers on the road ... Was hilarious!

Jazoli said:

Sorry mum, have edited mine but you'll have got edit mine in your quote if you see what I mean, and so will Hebegebegebe, we enevr went near Shap all day, honest

Edited by Jazoli on Monday 8th June 21:18

I wouldn't know the names of the places unless you told me ... After DB I didn't have a bloody clue where we were!!!

[Mr OCD]

theshrew said:

I had a chuckle at those lights.

If I don't look they wont see me

I've had a smile on my face all day today. Loved it yesterday even though I was on my own for most of it

Comical ..: and I nearly bloody followed him!

[Mr OCD]

legzr1 said:

Genuine question lads - don't you have concerns with recording the ride outs?

In what way?

[Mr OCD]

Jazoli said:

Yes, and no, I'd like to think that someone would have the foresight to remove the camera if something really stupid happened, but I do worry about getting pulled and having the camera looked at, I wish they came with an instant delete button that you could press and it dumped the memory, I might just stick to recording rides with my mate on his 125 in future.

... Or hide the camera not as noticeable?

A mate has his tucked into air duct lol

[Mr OCD]

I'm up your way Stu this weekend if fancy a ride out ... I will be in Goole all weekend.

Following weekend I'm off to Wales but free most of July for further ride outs ...

StuB said:

Saturdays's my daughters 21st, so not sure what will occur.

What on Gods earth is the reason ......

If you are here on the bike, have a run up the B1228 from Howden to York or down the A161 to Ealand

Cheers... Visiting FIL, but taking the bike as been itching to explore the roads up there everytime I visit!
