Sunday ride out in the UK. North hants/Weest Berks area.

Postby keithcross » Sat Jan 12, 2008 4:57 pm

Not sure if any ones interested here, but I am taking some friends on a ride out on the 20th of January 2008. Should be about 60-70 miles on a variety of roads with lots of single track lanes, all ridden at a reasonable speeds, 50-60 mph, less on the small lanes. Not going off road so SM wheels will be best.
So far I have the following coming from another forum, all with SM wheels.
Keith Cross MZ Baghira 660
notanmzrider Honda XR650R (my eldest son)
minibongo Suzuki DRZ 400 (my youngest son)
Muffinman maybe
Stoo KTM 250 2 stroke
Dave B KTM 640
Pete, KTM 525 or 950 maybe.
If your interested we will be leaving the Esso fuel station in Tadley Hampshire at 11am sharp. Post code for the fuel station is RG26 5PE. Their will be at least one stop for coffee/food, more stops can be made if riders need it.

Just out of curiosity, would you accept a Yamaha Fz6 (on Avon road Tyres) ?

You would be more than welcome, but be aware that the other bikes going are motards and the roads being travelled on are very narrow and twisty, often having gravel and mud on them.

Thanks Keith,

I think I would be too much of a drag with that type of roads. Thanks anyway, I hope the weather will be kind on you.

Well 9 bikes turned out in the end, and we had a wet but brilliant ride out.
The ride covered about 80 miles, mostly on road, but in part in the river Thames where it had flooded 2 roads, up to 600mm deep in places.
Still maybe next time.
Bikes that turned up
Andy - Honda XR650R
Daniel - Suzuki DRZ 400
Pete - KTM525
Dave KTM 640
MartiN KTM 525,
Mike drz-400,
simon wr450
jagsxr KTM 450
Me MZ Baghira 660 SM

2 piccies below to show one of the shallower roads we went on :)
I am the rider on the yellow bike :)
