Snetterton Sunday?

Champ says...

I managed to get my Firestorm down to 63 miles to empty once. I was
riding like a complete twat though. I've just worked that out at 17.8
mpg <proud grin>

 

Or do it on foreign plates at *eek* speeds

 

Well, yes.

 

Hmmm, I was thinking of toddling over Sunday afternoon but if it is
that far, then sod it. Down pipes will be on by then so I can go and
hoon (for newly qualified wobbly values of hoon obviously) rather than
bimble.

Any East Midlanders who aren't going to Snetterton fancy a ride out on
Sunday afternoon?

 

Ace says...

Or not give a ****, trust to luck, and do it anyway.

 

how far can you shoot?

there is one bod going from Brum, but he is going via FluffyFest
(Suffolk on Saturday), and on a bike. there will be several of us going
over to Snetterton from my place.

If it stops raining, sure.

 

Never had you down as one of these girly only goes out when it is dry
types Rob. <runs away giggling>

I want to scrub the edges off my new tyre.. not an option in the wet.

 

Possibly. Where do you and the ginger one usually hoon? I've met Ginge,
although there's a good chance he won't remember.

It's not looking good really.

To be fair this is Ginge and myself - we bimble <looks over shoulder
at approaching Ginger> yes hoon, that's what we do, hoon.

When I've gone out with Ginge and wavy.davy (who is still away I
think) we bimbled (on CG125) around the stuff at the back of the A6.
When I go out on my own I head over swarkstone bridge

and do the South Derbyshire stuff, looping back round Long Eaton way.
I have a long list of roads that are fun in the car that I want to do
on the bike.

It's the old age catching up with him.

 

I don't know if I rememeber.. Were you the guy at the black horse with a
red firestorm?

 

Yay, that was me.

 

If the weather is good I might be up for joining you.

 

I still don't know where that is.

<consults Multimap>

Oh, right. I've never ventured out that way.

Interesting. I've lived here for 5 years but always end up doing the same
routes around Asbourne. And it *always* involves the stretch from Duffield
to Wirksworth just because it's the best road around here that I know. I'm
in Sandiacre so not a million miles away by the sounds of it.

No! He remembers.

Then carry on up into Cromford and go into Scarthins books.

Someone has to hold all my means of payment though.

 

I have, that's my weekend for the kids. Hence my vague idea to have a
kid friendly fest.
