Its a couple of hours, or less if you are chasing BN

Its a good route we take, its not the most direct but its very quiet

I think I need to get some longer rides in first then. No way I could do that at the moment.

Thanks to Bass's tip about legs last week I tried that today and a slight change to the bike and its been a lot better today ( my legs don't think so ).

Went for a what was intended to be a quick ride and ended up at Matlock. Never been before had a nice run out.

I saw this so thought I'd have a quick pic as we seem to have much love for them on here. Looked in tidy condition.



Every biker spot should have a slush puppy machine

A few years ago at Le Mans it was so hot the only way we could take alcohol was to pour vodka into slush puppies. Actually really nice!

I fking love slush puppies

It's a good ride out mate, still the longest I've been out for and was thoroughly enjoyable.
Yes, the lads are quick riders but there's always someone who hangs back for the stragglers.

I'm looking forward to one this year, hopefully I won't be quite so far behind this time.

I went on one last year really enjoyed it and learnt loads, although we didn't go that far up I don't think ( I have no idea where we went tbh ) that near killed me on a bike I was used to. Get a few miles under my belt on this one before I tackle a marathon run.

Shame we all didn't live a bit closer together. Im a cockney compared to you lot.

[clen666]

yeah it is a bit, but I suppose it gives a few more options for longer rides with people having different local knowledge

Epic day in perfect conditions at the Ring. Ze Panzer was astonishing.

How was it mixing with the cars?

It is always dangerous, no don't about it. Yesterday was a superb day, however, due to the weather conditions and that it was not a busy day at the Ring. No queues, and the car park was only about 2/3 full. The GS, however, was plenty quick enough and allowed me to ride at a decent pace and not be a rolling chicane. It was a fantastic day, and glad to have brought a few friends along to pop their Ring cherries

Best shot of my bike I've ever seen, not bad for a 24 year old bike. Taken by http://www.wilcollinsphoto.co.uk/, great guy and top work.
Anyway, it will be up sale next week, been faultless and will be missed but need the money to fund a track bike now.


Obligatory track day photo, much better than going to work eh!?

Lovely.

How are you getting on with it?

Another bike for the fantasy garage..

Cheers, only done about 20 miles and read the manual so far.
Enjoying it, but need to get a proper rideout on it.

M3 was shut this week, was on a bit of a mission, some decent folk helped me build a ramp and push the VFR off the motorway, through a small field and onto a road which got me back on my journey....Nothing stops the ol Honda.

That is brilliant

Cheers mate - Was a laugh!

I second this, it's a great run and all the regulars are top lads, even BN.

Finally got round to repairing my bike today. Only needed a new screen and rear set, got off lightly





I did scuff my new paint though
