    OK dudes,

    PROVIDING weather is good, I'm going for a blast on Sat morning down the A272.

    I will be leaving Farnham (station) at 07:00 and will look something like the map below (not including getting lost!). About 140 miles stopping at Box Hill in the morning at about 10 and West Meon at around lunchtime. Back in Farnham at about 3:30pm

    If there is more than 4 we will operate the Cornerman System.

    It will be fairly swift so any 125's will prob have a hard day and i dont recommend.

    I do however like stopping and drinking tea rather often!

    So 7:00 fully fueled and ready to go to try and get out before the Saturday knobbers.

    PM me if you want my details - i'm far too famous to post my number on a public forum. :Banane08:

    Why do I keep having things on these rideout days?!

    Would love to do this. Went to loomies for the first time last week and hung out like real bikers do!

    Nice Ariel Atom there amongst the bikes.

    It was a good thing that I went motocrossing this afternoon, otherwise I would have felt gutted that it was raining.

    Sure, think the weather is good for a week or so now :)

    Update on Sat, i have been fannying around this week and not managed to get my rear tyre replaced on the blade so I might do a shorter run on the gixxer :(

    @Slowrider... i did say i like stopping for tea...a lot! Oh.. and lunch... and breakfast... and possibly a snack in the afternoon ;)

    I know mate i was only messing.

    I may get out on mine for a few hours Saturday morning. I got an email earlier asking if i would like to race the SRAD 600 in the No Budget Cup in Zolder for OMCC on the 1st of August. GUTTED as i am on the last week of a course that week and so have had to decline.

    OK cool, well the route is by no means definite, nor is the start time so buzz me if you wanna meet up yeah?

    I do need to pop into a bike shop to look at some leathers too - and my rear tyre is totally bald on the blade so i'll be on the SRAD! Unless you know a good tyre shop open in the morning?

    Gutted - for free??? It costs about £1200 to sign up for NBC as i was looking at doing it on mine.

    Micheldever Tyre & Auto Services are probably the best around here if i am honest although i will often buy scrubs and just take them up there to be fitted.

    The only other place to try maybe BATHWICK TYRES | We have the largest range of tyres, alloy wheels, batteries and exhausts in the South-West. We have the fastest, most efficient service around and are unbeatable for tyres, exhausts and batteries, whether you're after top of the rang They normally attend OMCC trackdays and will fit or sell tyres at the track so you may get a discount if call and say your an OMCC member !!

    As for the NBC i think its funded by OMCC so really unsure as to what i would have had to have paid
