Handle stressful situations like a dog - If you can't eat it or play with it, pee on it and walk away

Re: Friendly ride - Sunday November 24th
certainly was
we had brisk temps, varied bikes, new faces, new roads, car park quandaries, secret stop off surprises and a nice safe run.
Thanks to TEC and everyone else for doing a spot on job of marking the junctions and not loosing anyone - thankyou.
Hope your bike gets fixed soon Tom.
Big thanks to you and 'the boss' for your hospitality, I have never seen SWB members on such good behavior before.
for those that went home early, this is what you missed....

I want to send Mrs. Atomic a BIG thank you for providing cake for all us poor, hungry bikers.
Cake and coffee. Well worth paying my subs for!

Thanks for the ride-out all, sorry I had to cut out early, I had been looking forward to this ride for months - typical.
Home about 3.15 , saw 3 of you guys heading off near Crewkerne.

There was a mutiny in the group and we created a breakaway Friendly Ride Out!Atomic wrote:Home about 3.15 , saw 3 of you guys heading off near Crewkerne.
(Not really. We were bailing early too).
Hope the other two made it back alright...

Re: Friendly ride - Sunday November 24th
Really enjoyed today on my old man's shiny metal armchair, totally different experience admiring the views! Scrapping metal footrests is the new kneedown 
Nice to meet those I don't know, thanks to the chap who organised and ran today, name escapes me!!

Bloody cold but really enjoyed today. Well organised and everyone looked after as usual ( Si / Kev 
) Plenty of coffee stops to try and keep the chill out and a lovely spread at Tom's - Huge thanks.
Nice to see some new faces and considering the temperature a good turn out.

Re: Friendly ride - Sunday November 24th
Seconded - thanks to Billinom8s & Kevitree for a very well organised run. Also thanks to the jm's as I didn't take a turn - but wish I could have.
Many thanks for the kind messages and the get well cards in the post, but a huge relief as all is well.
Just back from a 40 mile stint and not a hiccup. Visited my good mechanic (Andy's of Bridport) for confirmation and everything is as it should be. There are in fact 3 holes in the exhaust all perfectly formed as they are supposed to be there. They are the drain holes for condensation etc. I guess they might help a bit with the noise levels, probably why many owners with this model claim there is hardly any noise difference with an aftermarket can.
Personally I think my bike is a bit of an attention seeker, every little job on it turns into a bigger one. I was fitting a Givi rack, so as to have the psychological comfort for Mrs Atomic, and found that it wouldn't fit with the tail tidy. So 2 hours later I had finished 2 homemade brackets to extend the indicator units.
The levers from Germany, supposedly for my model, don't fit without rubbing the paint off. But, full credit to BS-MOTOPARTS as they are sending the correct ones, although not as pretty, without the need to return the old ones.
Thanks again all, it's why I love this group, from one very happy (again) rider.
