[Dec 18, 2011] Pre Christmas Rideout Sunday 18th (Robertsbridge, East Sussex)

Ride safe guys. Jack Frost is still at my house.

 

Yer a lightweight Gareth.
7 of us at 1066, Rob in the car. Heading to Rye at 1200

 

I was going to surprise you all by turning up at the 1066, but 2 things stopped me.

1) I only just got up.

2) It's sodding freezing.

3) I'm still knackered from the last 3 days in the garage.

Okay, 3 things. Told you I was tired.

 

if your still in rye when i get back might carry on past home and say hello

 

Just done brenzett, Appledore n canal roads. Back in Rye now.

 

Was going to pop over to the 1066 for a fry up, but went to bed at 4am as i watched the boxing lastnight. Have a good one

 

Just got in , rinsed the bike and loaded my pix up;
8 bikes at the 1066 and Rob in his car?

9 bikes at the Oasis after Deano joined us for a brew, thanks Jay.

and 8 bikes back in Rye

 

You lot look Freeeeeeeeeeeeezing in the pic above... Respect for getting out there
My car n parts of garden were still frosty at 1pm

 

Wasn't that cold with all the gear on. Just tingles in toes n fingertips. Lotsa coffee n chat soon warms you up!

 

You guys are hardcore...I see Gary got his bike out after being put away... resisting to play with a new present is hard.

I was bleeding freezing in my car !!

 

We're not hard Gareth, you're a lightweight!!!

 

ok I'm a light weight..its in my genes...I was built for swinging in the forest with my loin cloth and the like...

Gary's white boots are...uhmm err....quite white...

 

Spoils the look of the Repsol doesn't he!!!

 

If a bit chilly was a good ride apart from getting caught in heavy shower on way home. As I ve only been riding for three years question for you experienced guys, how come my bike got more salt on it than the others? hmm.

 

Wasn't quite thinking "respect".......the word that came to mind was "bonkers" ......but I am a cruiser rider these days

 

Ride when you can I say, easy to make excuses? Just wrap up warm and get on with it. If I don't ride for a week I get cabin fever and grumpy!
Keith, I think it was the speed that did it? Don't ride faster than you're comfy with though!

 

I like being able to walk too, so have to be sensible these days......so ner

 

well guys and girls great day out took me 2 hours to wash and polish the bike back on stands and covered up and optimiser pluged in. As for the white boots havnt got any black ones so they have to do and there warm .as i said great day out apart from the heavens opened up on the way home once again great day out thanks to Alan.
Need to change them tyres to hate them
