well what can I say.what a brilliant ride I really really enjoyed my self today ,thanks to every one who came today.ride started well, stops here and there for people to catch up.it was really nice to have a ride out where,you can enjoy the ride rather than who's first to get there.only one /two miss hap burger boy found some mud while letting a car pass ,and came off plus craig toppled stopping to miss.oooops .lukily nobody hert few scratches and a new helmet needed.
but other than that it was a really good day out .got back home 6.15 with 136 miles on the clock and I only used half a tank of petrol.
but I must say the one thing I now know is when finacies allow I want a t-max mk3.now I've seen, herd drooled Icon_drooling

Can only agree with the comments, had a great day out , arrived home at 19:00 hours after a good 400 miles in the saddle.
The first man/last man system work excellently and it was great to put faces to names off the maxi-muppets forum.Well done to all that turned up, a great ride at a sensible pace....

My thanks go to Ian James for is excellent organisational skills.....

The biggest and the best FOD rideout so far with appx 20 scoots/bikes and one Carver attending from all parts of the UK , Yorkshire, Hampshire,London,Birmingham and last but not least West Wales and Port Talbot.

Mike

yes but only minor, I was following burger boy ) hope your ok mate Question

you went down like a stunt man ) burger boy's back wheel just went think it was damp leaves or mud he went flying head first followed by his left shoulder he was about 2 meters in front so I put my front brake on slowly as we were doing about 25-30 mph on a small country lane but I was on a muddy part & my front end just went but I managed to step off & land on my right foot followed by my hand to stop me hitting the deck anyway some faring damage to my nexus need to wash mud off & look tommorow afternoon, burger boy needs new helmet possibly jacket back fairing repaired plus exhaust heat guard I think, poor lad only had it new from jan 08 Sad

I'm always ok Laughing

well he said he was, kept asking him & followed him to next stop for some late dinner will have to wait till he's online to find out, just another example how important it is to wear the right gear.

burger boy don't feel bad mate it wasn't your fault it could have happened to anyone.
