Easter Weekend - Bikey Or Not?

[moto_traxport]

First rule of bike club to me is normally don't go out on a bank holiday.

This weekend however, I'll be trying to steer the R1 clear of the lunatics (both on 2 wheels and 4) Friday and Saturday down in the West Country seeing my Mum for her birthday and off to Brands for the BSB on Monday.

Whatever you're up to, stay safe!

Very bikey,
Taking the 1190 adv over to Mozambique.
Heading to Cahora Bassa, a huge lake for a few days Tiger fishing. Over 400kms each way and lots of dirt roads once over the Zambezi. Should be great fun.
What ever you do, keep safe.

Putting it up for sale probably!

I'm going with him ^ on the noisy Blackbird. I'm expecting a fairly prominent Welsh police presence this weekend!

Oh yes - as much as possible, if the weather is as predicted (meant to be lovely tomorrow and Saturday).

It's been a long winter and I've just put in new plugs, oil and a battery. Time for a good clean 1st thing tomorrow morning and then off and away, to just put some miles in

Enjoy it people - and stay safe

Likely I need to visit my family outside of London down in Hampshire - I'm not taking a car anywhere outside of London on Easter Weekend esp coming back into London potentially on Monday evening.
Given that tomorrow is my hopefully do bugger all day, sat I have a car test drive of something nice, that leaves Sunday or Monday. Given that Sunday weather is looking sh*te, I'll go Monday for the day.
I had hoped to test ride some Yamahas, might try to do that Saturday too.

Breaking a basic rule of thumb and going out on a bank holiday (in the face of a double demerits weekend - Western Australia double the points punishments on holiday weekends for traffic infringements) to take a rather nice girlie out for a brekky ride.

Nothing tears up a rule book like a pair of breasts.

[Hooli]

Lots of work on the cottage, so too busy n too poor for playing on bikes.

Damn you man. It's almost enough for me to take up work on the offer of managing the Jo'burg branch.

Almost.

Winner - Tiger fish have been on my "must catch" list for a long time.

My weekend - Talking bikes and drinking loads on Saturday night then BSB on Monday, assuming it's not peeing down of course

[John D.]

Plan to put current bike up for sale Sunday and collect new one Monday. Can't wait

What's all this about not riding on a BH weekend? Why not if the suns out?

[kingb]

BSB on Monday - as long as it doesnt rain! Im a fair weather fan!

Thanks mate, they've been on my hit list for ages as well. Boats are sorted, weather is looking good and the reports are the fishing is good.
We're off at 5am tomorrow morning to get through the border asap and hopefully get some bank fishing in the afternoon, once the croc guard is erected!! Turns out Cahora Bassa is teeming with them and biggies too.
Report to follow.
