Excellent Rich!

Weather don't look too clever.......but at least it's better than the 4C and snow we've got here!

It wasnt too bad tbh was out for around an hour n half or so and only started to feel abit of a chill for maybe the last 15 to 20 minutes and the roads weren't too clever, when I get round to the vids you will notice at one point the rear tyre breaks loose when I'm doing about 60mph but I survived 

I think @BellEnd you would be better in some arseless leather chaps

So as promised I did indeed get out on the bike for a while in a nice and tropical 6⁰c.

In the videos when I get round to actually posting them you might actually notice some snow around still.

Took a ride from home through town then down on to Seaham, Horden, blackhall colliery then I turned and headed for home along the lovely A19 

Only a short one 35 odd miles but was good to be out on the bike

Pics:

1) me and Kwaka ready for the off

2) Seaham beach car park

You should ask @Tym about the time he rode a few thousand miles across the US to shoot somebody after an argument on CycleWorld! 

Why would you ride that far....be better to just make friends in his area and get the to do it for you......

Was it a flounce......or a tactical withdrawal?.....na a bit of a flounce

I have never known pete to tactically withdraw from anything hes an all guns blazing welshman.........unless theres sheep around then he gets abit distracted

He says it definitely wasnt a flounce.....but I'm not so sure 

Hi mate welcome......so you were curious to see where xtreme had flounced off to then?

Not those ass videos again Rich ffs, this time keep your trousers on will ya.

Do go spoiling the surprise for grasshopper she wants to see some pics and videos from me

So you are saying there is actually nobody younger than me on here?

It's been a long long time since I could claim to be the youngest person somewhere 

Definitely sounds like my kinda place

This is more of a have a laugh and joke type of place with the occasional bit of seriousness thrown in then

I like both of them on they're own merits 

Sounds like they are just trying to rut more money from you than they ought to be, they will be making enough from the bike to cover delivery to you for no additional cost

You've fallen a long ways then. Condolences.

Yeah we decided to move up here 2 years ago 

Just now, XTreme said:

I couldn't Rich......it wouldn't have been ethical. That's why I never mentioned it to anybody other than Stu. And I still haven't.

Though no doubt my card has now been marked for poaching members! Don't ask!

Well I still go on there so this place hasn't exactly poached me.....can we not be on both at the same time?

Yeah it is a horrible road, the old a120 was better

OH, I forgot to tell you guys, the Suzuki dealer won't deliver, well not for a reasonable price.  So I decided to hold off on the purchase for now. 

Why are they wanting a reasonable price to deliver the bike to you? 

Surely they could just say well your buying a bike from them and just deliver the bike to you for free?

Rich

Right, all these new members.....hard to keep up with this place now that it has hit the big times....

I went to the local car wash and got the chaps there to give the car the swooshing before going through the automatic washer, then I  topped up the windscreen washers, checked all my bulbs and drove up and down the A120 to Stansted and back to give it a bit of a fast run (to help with the emissions test) and get the rust off the brake discs before my MOT booked for Tuesday. Not used the car much this last year.

Can't do it on Monday as I have to go to work then because of a hideous job kicking off and I'll use my bike most probably.

Round my old neck of the woods then, I used to live in bishop's stortford 

Also I just love winding you and six up

Lovely, try and take a few pics to share, so we (I) can get to know you better. 

There will be pics and as I have front and rear camera system on the bike there may be video possibilities
