I would LOVE too, as long as funding allows. Trying to get that past the missus whilst saving for a wedding is near impossible

Hi Gordon
well the good weather is here .....bobby hot in leathers unless you're moving swiftly .....fancy a blast round the forest sometime ?

cheers
Andy

Hi Andy,

A blast around the Forest sounds good. Let me know when you plan the next one
What bike are you on?

Any good b&b or travel inns down your way ? Catching the early ferry from Poole in Sept and need somewhere to stay.

I have no idea about B&B's I'm afraid. Are you going somewhere nice?

F#<kin hell, I hope you are a pussy on that thing otherwise I'll never manage to keep up, lol
I wish my missus said that to me, although she has exams next week so I am hoping to get out the whole day on Sunday. I will tell her she needs space and peace to study

Says the bloke riding 120 horses and 155mph tops as against my 92hp and 135mph tops, but 35yrs riding...what do they say about "Old age and treachery beats youth and skill every time.".....lets hope

Nah, it's a 5EB R6 2001, re-jetted and short stubby carbon free flow exhaust so it's only about 105BHP.
This is my first road bike and only been on it about a year now.
I have a bit of MX experience tho.
We'll see, soon I hope

sounds like you'll be fine....see you sunday morn 11 ish ?

Hey Andrew, How was your ride on Sunday?
I saw so many bikes out in the New Forest which broke me as I pedal powered through the forest

Are you going down on the Quay tomorrow night?

Hi Gordon
we had a cracking day out, set off at 11am got back to my gaff at 5.30pm.....the heat was not much fun but the roads were empty.....they were all down the beach
http://goo.gl/maps/Jaqyz" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
About 180 miles all together
this was our route round, not a plod in sight it was bliss.
finished up at Worth Matravers at the Square and Compass pub for a pastie and drink then home across the ferry.
Sorry no pics ....too busy enjoying ourselves
Not one for doing the quay......... seems like a waste of time to me ride 4 miles and park up .....but then I don't ride a harley....I would rather find the edges of my tires out on the Chase (no chicken strips on mine)
Cheers
Andy
