anyone in Leicester/east midlands?

[mojitomax]

Hi guys, just wondering if there's anyone in leicester/east midlands who rides?

All my mates tend to have 2 wheels too many and think i'm fairly insane for hooning around on a bike and i need someone to play with!

If you turn up to Ashby Foleville tommorow night you will find several hundred bikers in attendance. Everything from sports bikes to classics.

Well I'm in the area, but you've got me a little scared with your 'lonely hearts' ad........

This is such a great gathering, there's enough variety to interest any PHer. I'm not sure about the weather tomorrow though.

Hmmm, perhaps not the wisest of ideas, but all in good fun.

If you're out and about, drop me a line It'd be good to ride out with others. hopefully pick up few useful riding skills

I'm just off J24, but I can't teach you anything about riding a bike! Only passed yesterday!

i'm in leicester city centre. had a great ride along the b6047? (not quite sure of the actual road number) from kibworth through to melton. great stretch of tarmac. i'm not too far from oakham if you fancy a hoon.

I'm another at J24.

How about meeting up there at the weekend for a lap of my East Mids TT

A453 to A52 then back roads to Melton
From Melton on back roads to Rutland Water (coffee stop)
Out of Oakham on the 6003 to Uppingham
Uppingham to Market Harborough
Then the B6047 back to Melton and the 606 back to the 52 and home

Anybody interested???

Cheers dude.

Unfortunately I can't make it as I'm in France as of tomorrow morning camping for a week.

Also, fired up the bike to ride for an MOT and it conked out round the corner!!! I've done an oil change but I guess it's time to take the tank off and change the plugs too! It looked to be firing on only one cylinder as only one exhaust was pushing anything out. I'll probably bang some fresh fuel in it too as I suspect 18month old fuel probably doesn't help things...

Now, can I mix 1\4 of a tank of super with the old fuel and a bit of redex to sort it out, or should i ditch it (pain to do)?
