The 2018 NW slow old fart ride out thread.

[Jazoli]

The last couple of years have been a poor show from the NW lot so I thought I'd try another thread, if it dies on its arse I won't bother anymore, its 9 years this year since the first meet.

The weather has improved, the snow and salt has gone and its time to see again just how slow Loon is, how many miles BN can travel on the back wheel and who is going to bring someone along who can't ride for st and puts it in a ditch or car.

So who's up for it this year? or are you all too busy racing, wking, or under the thumb?

[clen666]

I should be free to fill the ditch

[SAS Tom]

I’ll be up for it, it’s likely I’ll have this bike more than a month compared to the last one.

[Biker's Nemesis]

Ill try and wean myself off Pornhub.

[Biker's Nemesis]

That just leaves Lorenzo the racer to reply.

Hehe, don't forget HBGB, and beeg is better than pornhub.

[Berty3000]

I'll come along depending on date. Moving south this weekend but will be back up here at points.

State where and when. Guarantee sunshine...

I’m in. However, I’m ridiculously fast and awesome, as well as stunningly good looking. I look great on a motorbike and pretty much all of you will bow before my magnificence.

Am I doing this right?

[SAS Tom]

Will there be a change of route given what happened to one of the stops?

No.

How NW is NW ? ...are you talking like say north of Manchester and west of Scotch Corner ?


...I live in the middle, but do often venture up further North close to the border with all my tartan buddies

Oh. Does that mean I’m not invited.

I’m actually pretty st and very slow. I thought you had to big yourself up based on the way the cockernees do it on their SE thread.

We don't need to big ourselves up, we just are great (for our ages)

I'm only awesome because I'm an old spacka.

You missed out certain phrases like “pushing the envelope” and “visible chassis flex” but other than that it was reasonable.

A change of route is always good as I'm sure I could ride the usual one blindfolded but there are only so many roads, the loss of Hartside is no big deal as the garage in Alston has a good coffee machine and there are decent cafes en-route, there are some fantastic roads in county durham that I did last year and they are in reality no further away than where we normally ride.
