Oh and the 50mph limit on the M1 was finally removed last night after four years

philoldsmobile · December 21, 2008, 09:49:15 AM

back from the ace, felt a little colder than the forecast suggested, but was still a really good ride.

its sooooooo nice to go down the M1 at 70 all the way!

nice to catch up Martyn, we must do an ace brekkie run between crimbo and new year, weather permitting.

come summer we'll have the kettle, minty, the ol'duchess, the GPX, art B on his bandit, and possibly (with permission from the met office) by brothers fabled but never seen VFR flame thrower / earthquake machine!

you never know, we may even be able to talk my old man down on his bandit, too

philoldsmobile · December 21, 2008, 04:02:18 PM

apologies are made for the chicken strips on the back tyre of minty, but its less than 100 miles old, and we haven't really had the weather for much peg grinding yet...

art b · December 21, 2008, 06:36:46 PM

roll on the spring/summer......i need to get out for a spin b4 that though.......

Ponti · December 22, 2008, 04:38:00 AM

Need to get mine first.

All the hard work done, just need my ride now.

philoldsmobile · December 24, 2008, 08:14:59 AM

any idea what you want? the CBR is a great first big bike if you dont have a restricted license. You wont need to go any faster than a 600f will take you, and on good tyres and in good condition, they are a very confident stable and agile bike

Ponti · December 31, 2008, 03:31:51 PM

Have been looking at GSXF600's and the 750's not much difference in price and from what I've read the 750 is a better handling bike.
Also ZZR600, the chap that does the maintaince where I trained has had a couple and he say's they are ok.

Not sure what else. see what catches my eye.
