Hello all,

Anyone here ride motorcycles and fancy a few days camping on the bikes on the weekend of 7th May?

I'm thinking all meet somewhere on the Friday night and camp. Then a leisurely ride at a pace suitable for everyone (150 miles?) to site 2 on the Sat and another nights camping.

Head home on the Sunday.

I dont mind where in the country we meet but somewhere central may be useful.

let me know if youre interested

I would have been but I can't fit my two dogs on the bike and I wouldn't go without them!

Well that's when I can get the blasted thing on the road! The guy who's doing it for me is taking his time about it, and tbh I'm getting very p****d off with it all. I've had to have the centre stand welded, new battery, new front fairing, carrier and top box put on. I went down to try it out the other day, it won't run on tick-over (needs the revs setting up a bit), the electric start won't work till I've kicked the b****y thing first (what's the point having an electric start if I have to kick it?!) and when it does start it sounds like a bag of spanners. I've had a new front wheel and tyre put on it, which this guy and his mates say will cure the very bad wobble it has but personally I don't think it will, I think the headstock bearings need sorting out (my previous one had that problem till my ex sorted it out) but until it's actually running for me to try it I can't tell. My previous one was nicked and burnt out (b*****ds!!) and as my work takes me all over Bolton I really need the transport - I know cycling will keep me fit but I'm getting knackered!! lol

Yes, probably - if I'd wanted to pay an absolute fortune for someone to take me down to Kent/Dorset/Devon/Cornwall to get one - this one was the nearest and even then it cost me £100 for someone to take me to collect it

Hope you get it all sorted soon, especially as the weather is now starting to pick up too.

I don't know whether you have a full licence or not but there are some great little 400cc bikes going for really sensible money at the moment.
