just picked up my new bike,ridden it home, done 10 miles and ive broken it already
forgot the disclock was on and have cracked a bit of plastic off the front mudguard but apart from that it seems great going to go out on it this afternoon and get used to it,more pics to follow later.

no im 6'1, i think your quite local to me, do you ever go up to box hill on sundays?, i might go up there this week if the weather is ok.[/quote]
It just looks as if you've taken the shot from up high thats all 
Where are you based then? I'm Weybridge - I do go to Box hill occasionally but haven't been for a while. I was in that area last weekend funnily enough but we decided just to ride rather than stop at rykers.

im in Byfleet/Weybridge, could do with getting some miles on it so it can be run in and i can use it properly, its windin me up already, if the weathers similar to how it was today i may well go up on sunday,rykers is pretty dull now in my opinion, sometimes i sop there but would rather go up the A25 if the roads are dry.

I maybe going up to Croydon on the Blade to Dobles on Saturday from Camberley, then on for a bit of a ride. Fancy racking up some miles?? It would be nice to compare the 05 with the 06!!
sure sounds good, provided i am feeling better(cant shake this bug at the moment) i am up for going,could do with ordering a new mudguard anyway
Disc locks are a bugger aren't they. To prevent it happening again, a cheap fix is to get a WD40 can top (red plastic) it is the right size to fit over the ign lock on many bikes, make a hole in the side of the cap so you can keep it on the disc lock, when you fit the lock, put the cap over the ign switch, that way you can't put the kety in without removing the cap and remembering the lock. Alternativly buy a flourescent cord and attach to the lock and the twist grip.
Good looking bike, enjoy it.

My thoughts were, provided the weather was clement (ie. no white stuff), up to Dobles at Croydon then back down to Boxhill vicinity and then head off home. Let me know if you fancy it. I will probably look to go around 11am-12pm.
are you still going to Dobles today?,i e mailed you via your profile, i dont know what route your going there im guessing M25?,would be up for coming out and getting some miles on my bike
