Post by Estoril »

I'm looking at maybe sorting out a meet in the above area if anyone is interested?

It will be at the weekend or a lovely warm evening IF the weather picks up!!

Sounds like a plan, :dance: I know most of the best routes around Leicestershire and Rutland being an old git but Derbyshire I'll have to hold on to your apron but count me in if my piles have cleared up by then :shhh: :shifty: :D

It's a great road mate use it a lot :D but full of filth now days especially Sundays, week days are best here or on it for parts where the Piggy's don't sit.
How are the roads around Scarborough :?:

Was always a hot spot for the wrong en's! Didn't help with idiots nailing it through the villages. We always used it early morning or late at night.
Part of the reason I moved up here was the roads mate! Some fantastic twisties but as everywhere if your riding style is on the quick type you need to pick the right time to go out. No fixed cameras so have to be alert ;))

never been mate, i usually just go for the chips :D, cant remember the name of the place (its where the long line of parking is) :think:,
i remember sat there in november absolutely freezing with a bag of chips just watching people walking down the path getting soaked by the sea :lol: :lol:,
weathers looking up though :D
Sounds like you were on marine drive?
I recommend anyone watch the racing there, I've seen a fair bit of racing over the years but never found a place where you are so close!
Next time you venture up give me a nod & I'll show you some good roads ;)

I'm free ! this weekend or next if weather o.k. mate, if you want to take a tripo round Leicestershire/Rutland "think you said Sundays somewhere" Saturdays are always better for biking but Sunday fine if that's the only one you have free? can meet your side of Loughbro or where ever? who else is out there! Wellsy98 are you there? :D

Seems like the Leicestershire ladies are to busy with the pledge to get out !
Well I went out with another R1 on Monday, sh!t the roads were packed.
Plenty filtering and fingers :naughty:
Had a great ride with another R1 and got some vid, share it with you when I can replace this old windup p.c. and get it uploaded without spending a day doing it :think:
seems like one or two of you got a ride in. :clap:
keep smiling Flint.

Here's a short bit of video (if I managed to post it) ! to show I did actually get out there, with my mate Dusty for a ride.
The sun was shining and god it was packed everywhere but it was fun :D
Going to try a gopro still can't work out why people are paying more for a second hand Hero 2 on Ebay over £200.00 than you can buy one at Argos for new £198.00.
and a Hero3 silver for £197.00 new ? got to be a good buy at that surely anyone got any advice ? :shifty:
