Leaving Tiverton Morrisons petrol station 1:00 p.m..

160ish mile loop. Route will include some of our usual bits and something a little less well known. Pace will be "making progress, but not stupid" so save the 125s for a "slow and friendly" ride

Me me me . . . but not TEC !

p.s. don't forget to stock up on them super new dyanamite prostate pills of yorn - they seem to be working for you!

In my diary... Fingers crossed the bike starts this time

Ben, have you got the dreaded Aprilia (and Triumph, and Honda B'bird too) regulator/rectifier prob'? There's a recognized mod' for this.

Nah, it's the even more dreaded 'boss Says I can't come out to play' issue a lot of us have from time to time.

Tbh I don't know Robbo, I charged the battery Saturday afternoon, then left it outside overnight all ready for Sunday and the battery was seemingly flat, then in my haste I flooded it for added fun . I can only imagine that one of the connections is poor and condensation got in, I shoved it in the garage charged it up and it fired up no worries on Tuesday

Count me in Brian - seems lots of us have ignition or battery problems and always happens when you want to use the machine.
The bike is as good as gold when stood there doing nothing!!

Hoping to make this.

At Pembrey on the 28th. See what time I get home sat evening. Might be up for it if home and in bed at a half sensible hr... but more than likely no

Similar story as nick ... Pembrey on the Saturday but would like to make this one Brian!

and that makes 3 of us. I am also at Pembrey and due to my fat unhealthy body will be in no fit state to do another ride the day after a track day

Hope the gang dries out from the 22nd ride. This one will be dry.....defnit
Route will deffo include some bits we haven't done together before
