Re: South Lincs/Notts

Thanks David. Can you send me a copy of the file, I'll have a look. It is a great area and I'm glad other people think so. Maybe a few browsers out there maybe tempted. Not holding my breath though.

Re: Easter Saturday 30th - Meet/Ride
Hi Guys I can't do Saturdays Hi Michael, Sundays for me have to some extent been taken over by family stuff so might be more difficult to meet up going forward. Agree that the weather looks good for Sunday so it makes sense to change the day. Probably better if I build up steady and get ready for t...

A plan is good preferably with a plan B just in case.

Re: Easter Saturday 30th - Meet/Ride
I'd be up for a 'social'. Not likely to get much bike time between now and then so not sure about a ride out. Depends on direction of route and whether I could leave early if necessary.
Forecast NTB at the moment. Occasional light showers.

Re: New Northern Monkeys HQ.
In consultation with a fellow NM, I'd like to suggest that Fields Garden Centre near Sherburn-in-Elmet, https://www.fieldsgardencentre.co.uk/kitchen/ becomes the new NM's HQ. How do others feel about this idea as a base to meet up and/or have a circular ride out from. Good idea, nice location, know...

South Lincs/Notts
Following on to avoid a hijack.......
Any interest in a ride into South Lincolnshire, Notts, possibly North Leics. from a base somewhere around Rother Valley Country Park? Some lovely quiet roads.

Re: MU vs SE
A French trip in 1990 on a Kawasaki ZX10, arrived at Cherbourg with an hour to spare, and wifey appears after a comfort break with a wine sign clock about 4’x3’. Incidentally it’s absolutely pouring down, biblical stuff and she’s got the bliddy thing balanced on her knees. The ferry trip was a wild...

Re: MU vs SE
Age limit at Bahnstormers is 76 so I’ve got a couple of years left. I had enquired about a test ride on a K1600 but the service guy declined when my bike was in for a shaft check, then he asked if I’d had much experience on ‘big bikes’… what are they 350kgs? I suspect that 2-up on a 328kg ST1300 wi...

Re: South West & South Wales Area
@ David.
Ilkeston/Rother Valley idea is interesting. Could have a good rideout from either. Might be worth another thread, see if it generates any interest. I'd be in for either and happy to help with a route.

Re: MU vs SE
I have a Honda Varadero 1000, and it is like riding sitting in a armchair. I have said on here before, that i wanted my RT to feel the same. And the best thing i found for me was fitting the GS handlebars and lower foot rest brackets, The RT is now very close to how i feel on the Varadero. I've had...

Re: MU vs SE
Lowering foot rest brackets, standard hight seat and handlebar risers, will change the way the bike feels to sit on. Standard seat with Nippy Norman's footpeg lowering kit works for me. Sadly didn't take them off the last bike. Not needed bar risers so far. I've found over the years that sitting mo...
