Balls, I've been out a few times, its not that cold, I'll be out most weekends if its dry, I'm not up for big rideouts though as its a pain in the arse and people get giddy and fall off or scare themselves as has happened previously.

It's not too bad in the afternoons at the moment, but its still 3-4 degrees in the morning when us lot set off early ... that will be bd cold on way up north and I can't cope with loon moaning like a girl when it gets cold or wet. wink

People fall off? Never biggrin

Hopefully we might get McKean and Moanthebairns to come along to a meet this year.

I think it's only fair as I've been up to theirs in the past.
I'll need to buy a bike or stick a fake plate on the track ninja

I don't think that one bike could cope with such a huge amount of awesomeness on board

I wouldn't mind tagging along, if there's no limit to the amount of newbies and the routes offer plenty of fuel stops (KTM offers around 90 to the tank boxedin )
I'll come along on the Pan Euro (320+ to a tank), we could do in-flight refuelling biggrin
That's not a bad shout haha, I only need 11 liter's to brim

Depending on the date, I might well be up for a ride out.
Would bring a 400 be a daft idea (if it's ready that is)?

I don't think one bike would have a rear sub frame strong enough

I've just got back from a wedding on the banks of Windermere and it hasn't stopped raining up there for three days. The drive was scary, let alone riding in it. I think it's going to be a while before I get out on the road this year.

Still grim now, although it is brightening up a bit, where was the wedding?
