Ride to Martins Bench for the Air Ambulance - 22/09

Although even you got a numb arse on the way back!!

 

You're right I wank too much since the missus went to Spain, the Tuono cures this, remarkable but true.

 

I will head down to the bench at some point, heading down on my own on Sunday I started to feel quite emotional and had to stop, get a brew, then I went home.

I still can't come to terms with Martin and Sean's deaths this year and I defo can't deal with riding in numbers just yet, this is no reflection on you guys n gals just my issues.

We'll done any way and I've donated £20 to the air ambulance today.

 

Sorry you couldn't join Daz and thanks. That's £200 folks!

 

Well not had a twinge, 287 miles on 916, not bad for a Oldarse, must be bike fit after 265 miles the other week on the lakes run ( that was another story)

 

It will be those silky smooth Welsh roads we went down.

 

Doof and Sean definitley had the bikes for them, felt like riding rodeo at times, all good fun though

 

The hump-back bridge was a bit of unexpected fun - WHEEEE!

 

Same here no aches, we must get tougher as we get older.
I did get away with only doing 150 miles.

 

Which one?
I counted 3. I got airbourne on 2 of them, the second with a tidge two much throttle.
Torque reaction is interesting when airbourne.

 

Ps, think the secret is, Ride within you limits, Relax, be at one with the bike, let it work for you, then if your still aching a hot bath some Parrots ate em all, Ha. Was impressed with Kev (Caberet) hardly went much over 75 yet still covered the ground pretty quickly on skinnny tyres and probably 65 Bhp. IAM course style riding maybe!

 

Little correction there.

 

Ha Phil and the wrong roads on a sports bike,the BMW GS range would be a strong contender.Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boreman would have loved that ride lol.

 

Honestly I thought those bumpy sections were the most fun!

 

The little drz showed a lot of the high powered sports bikes up on the small twisty roads, glad I went on it even if my arse was still hurting yesterday

 

That's another story though pal !!! Lol

 

And it's all your fault haha

 

I had a great time - woody what the hell engine is in that sv? you were clocking 140 on the straights and if its a 650 its only ment to do 125!! I was going to pass you on a couple if straights but knew you were just going to rape me in the next corner the roads were ace hump back bridge ill take that sideways Ahhhhh! I had to run most of the bumpy section in 2nd gear so I could get the power down out of the corners that lead to a very light and frisky front end my steering dampening was 4 clicks from full at the end of the day! Thanks for an epic ride guys really ended the biking summer on a high.

 

Ill be taking the bandit down at some point and the thumper when I can

 

You dont want to know whats in the SV haha
