I did this route with Dangermouse recently and I rate it up there with the best roads in the country.
On the 20th August we will be doing it again, so if you want to join in on what is going to be a fantastic day's riding then you need to get your name down.
The ride out will involve a very early start and a full day of fast riding, so it will not suite everybody. For this reason I would like to do one or two short ride outs prior to the main ride. This will give all a taste of the sort of pace we will be going at, so you can decide wether or not the ride is for you.
The first test ride will be on Wednesday 9th August, meeting at 1900hrs ( 7pm) setting of at 1930hrs (7.30pm). Anyone wishing to go should put there name down and I will let you know where to meet.

This is tough. I don't know when I'll get back from the Ring, but if I can, I'll be there. In fact, I am going to try and organise my life around this day! ':p'

Rollo get your name down. Come on Burger why you not on the list? What we need to do next time we go out is observe the 30 limits, well any limits to avoid the back guys getting pulled over. Sorry about that Burger (not sure if it was my fault) Normally im very carefull in that area. Flying Scot your names not down, you can bring your new R1 ':rock:'

Anyone else fancy a good days riding?

DangerMouse · « **Reply #14 on:** 01, August, 2006, 06:51:16 PM »

Yeah!!!! I was right! Did my bike influence you at all? Let me know how you get on with her and the difference from your other R1. Its the best bike ive personally ever ridden. Trout Slayer we go early into Wales there isnt much traffic. Plus there are some fantastic roads where you can see right the way round the corners. Truelly Awesome.
Mikey never mind mate thought you were planning your life round this ride!! hoo hummm big Sighhh never mind walks off head down scraping feet!!!!

'> Ohh got a dvd the other day called "On-Bike Nurburgring Experience" with Helmut Dahne the fastest ringer ever on a bike. On board footage really good was going to lend it to you when i saw you for the Wales trip.

No worries mate, I was the last one through so got pulled!

I want to come but my bikes just not up to It. The clutch is going, IT needs a service and a Steve Jordan visit. Let me see. IF I can I will. Nothing better than good mates and god roads!
