Easter Weekend - Who's doing bike things???

[mitzy]

Morning Lads and Lasses,

Who doing bikey things this weekend, I know the weather is looking grim.

Im off to Donnington to watch my OH ride his first race in the BEMSEE .
Taking my with me too, just in case the weatherman has got it wrong.

nothing really planned, just fitting some shiny bits to one of my bikes

[Cafuddled]

My bikes 50 miles away from me getting fixed over the weekend so I wont be doing anything to do with bikes

[Fire99]

I think Easter Monday is the Shakedown ride from the Ace Café to Southend-on-Sea. I think i'll have a trundle along to that one.. usually a few thousand turn up!!!!

[Naughty Magpie]

Going to Snetterton to watch the BSB testing.

Looking at the weather forecast im going to be putting the battery on charge...utterly peeved with it now...we should have had some more sun than this in March..One more st summer and the bike is going.

i've had mine since 01 and love it to bits

nowt unless i find a secret stash of petrol for free - worst thing about not working is the lack of fuel funds.

Yep brought one when they first come out, loved it! So can't wait to do some track days and blast down to Spain on it.......

So I will let you know how I get on Y2!

Not too much bike related, got to fix a car first. But if the weather turns nasty it is a great excuse to get out the trike.




Slowly getting all the issues sorted out with it.

Top choice.

I had one of them sclayto! Great fun, just remember not to put your feet down when you stop, I ran myself over twice. Once showing someone what not to do and going a bit too far. Bloody hurts, tries to split you in two! get a rack for the back, mine had one and it acted as a safety net for wheelie practise it was impossible to flip just hold on hard and then hit the back brake! Ahhh happy days,

[RemaL]

going out with a few mates over to south wales. just hope the weather is good. not looking like it. still got to work sunday but got monday off

[Steve_T]

Nothing 'til Monday probably. Then I'll carry on with the bits I intended to do last weekend. An old blade sounds like a top idea, it's on my extensive list of "bikes to own at some point." - either a 929 or 954.

Have a great Easter all.

Steve.

The HD dealer at Uppingham generally has an open day on Easter Monday and attracts lots of bike gazers. The snack wagon parked outside has a good cuppa too.

Slightly coincides with the hallaton Bottle kicking a few miles on.
See http://www.hallaton.org/bottlekicking.html
A good event, a live band in the afternoon and my son made the rather obvious comment that the place is crawling with lots of well-bred tottie!

Can't guarantee the weather this year so will decide on the day.
