Suppose you're all out then

[Nonnie]

The weather is so lovely today and the forum is so quiet, you can all only be out somewhere thrashing the goodness out of your bikes. I am stuck at home. I can hear them all out there and I know, for sure, what envy really feels like. Roll on next weekend. :mad:

[sjr999r]

[Nonnie]

Oh you're just making it worse for me! Pub gardens, bikes, sunny days..... I can't take much more.

Dear BBC, why oh why oh why did I choose to have kids??? I can't get 3 of em on the back. I could cry!

[Nonnie]

Don't do ice creams!

[Nonnie]

Juan's got Pirelli Diablos too. Aw, I'll have a virtual mint choc chip then I guess.

[A Yerbury]

I was out, now I'm in but I'm about to go out again....hmmm coast roads..and young womenfolk wearing sheer fabrics.

[Nonnie]

Can't say the womenfolk appeal but the coast roads yes. You're a continental chap yes? I'll have a virtual decent lunch then, and a siesta, and a better way of life.

Not in need of anything right now thanks. I've spent too much money on Juan's cosmetic surgery anyway.

Grumble grumble, it's about the time for people to be getting in after a lovely day out, full of beans. I feel persecuted!

not just full of beans but a rosy wind/sun glow! the benefits of an open face lid.

[Albie]

Well im back. Had a real good ride to surrey and back.160mls. Short trip today. :D :D

[Albie]

Don't do ice creams!
Why the hell not woman. :eek: :D I had a white magnum today.. yum :bunny:

[Nonnie]

Deep in my heart somewhere I am glad you all had fun today, those of you who got out. I could only polish Juan lovingly and cover his ears when bikes went by so he couldn't hear them. Shhhhh baby, we'll be out soon shhhhh.

[Albie]

Here he is, he looks as miserable as me
Nonnie. Get the grass out the the joints on your slabs if you cant go out. :D :D :rolleyes: :eek: :) :bunny:

[Albie]

Go to photosuite and edit it then. :rolleyes: Hope you have a good day tomorrow then. I have to go out tomorrow again. Where ?? Who cares anywhere with people there. :D

[Nonnie]

Hey Albie, this any better?!

[Pedro]

Hey Nonnie

well, I got out today as I said but it wasn't any fun....















Who am I kidding, IT WAS ACE!

New tyres nicely scrubbed in, room in my leather jacket as I only needed a T shirt and fingers I could still feel after a thirty mile trip to Winchester. Then home down someof my fav roads....

:D

[Albie]

Hey Albie, this any better?!



Fantastic :D :D :D :D :D :D

[Nonnie]

hola! Evidently I sat at the pc all day :o

[gary tompkins]

Don't worry Nonnie you werent the only one stuck in today. Spent most of the day in the garage spannering the monster, fettling rear brake and gearchange. I hate bleeding brakes (PITA) still it's worth it as the bikes now A.O.K. for the run tomorrow.

Looking forward to getting out with the Kenties for a run to Sussex in the morning :burnout:

[Rabbit]

Me and Tigerlily had a nice little run out today, just around the Yorkshire / Lancashire border. Ready for a longer run out tomorrow now :burnout:

[Nonnie]

Pleeeeeease don't go on about tomorrow because I can't go out then either! I have to wait til next weekend. I remain optimistic the weather will be as good then as it is now.

[Albie]

:( :( Pleeeeeease don't go on about tomorrow because I can't go out then either! I have to wait til next weekend. I remain optimistic the weather will be as good then as it is now.

Noooooo. You cant stay in. Escape somehow.. PS you started this thread. DOH !! :D :(

[Nonnie]

:( :(

Noooooo. You cant stay in. Escape somehow.. :(

I am negotiating escape as we speak. Juan needs me. He needs the sun. He told me.

[scrumpster]

Why the hell not woman. :eek: :D I had a white magnum today.. yum :bunny:

Don't do white chocolate ;) :D

[Albie]

What do you dooooooooooooo then.Dark chocolate or plain or just an ice pole. :D :D :D

[A Yerbury]

I'm off to Paris this morning.....will try and do the monster/eifel tower cliche.
Adieu.

I got stuck in a public toilet there. One of those ones in the street that self clean. I got soaked and couldn't remember the french for "Oh my God, I'm having an emergency, please help." I screamed for a little while but it was clear nobody was going to do anything. It was very embarrasing and I have avoided France ever since on the grounds it's quite likely I'll do something equally stupid. But you have a fun day now d'ya hear? I will be chatting and patting with Juan again waiting for tales of wonderful days out to come pouring in about 6pm.

[Albie]

Oh my god. I would just love to have seen that. :D :D :D

[Nonnie]

Oh my god. I would just love to have seen that. :D :D :D
There is photographic evidence of my demise but not in my posession which is a little worrying! Ah well. Have fun blasting through the Kent countryside.

[CK & AK]

Nonnie - just to let you know that we had a lovely rideout & meet with mates in the warm sun yesterday :p 94 miles to do what is usually a 7 mile trip! :eek:
Capped off with a great nite out at the Sports cafe last night with loads of mates :D - mehtinks Lin (Phoenix) will have a headache this morning! :rolleyes: ;) :D :D

Just going to have brekkie & then off out on the bikes again today, as although cloudy, its not chilly at all. :bunny:

C :burnout:

[Mand]

was it really 107 miles mand, gosh.


Well it actually 107.5 miles for me. I put my trip switch on before I went out. :)

A shorter trip today though for CHIPS, not rubbing it in or anything...... :p

[Nonnie]

:p 94 miles to do what is usually a 7 mile trip! :eek:
C :burnout:

That's my kind of trip! Hope you have a great day y'all.

[Albie]

well im back in now absolutely shattered. Only about 130 miles today. Bit low for me. Oh well cheaper on the pocket. :rolleyes: :D

[gary tompkins]

well im back in now absolutely shattered :rolleyes: :D

Was the cafe a bit too hectic for you today then mate?

Really enjoyed my double soss, bacon egg and beans brunch, and the ride out was pretty damn good too. East coast of Kent next time out? ;)

[Nonnie]

You're really enjoying this aren't you?! My time will come. :cool:

[Albie]

No but still tired from yesterdays run. Couldn't lay in this morning tho I tried. Great turn out again so thanks all. Had a wobbly moment you may have noticed on way to Hawkhurst. I saw the bank heading for my front wheel. :eek: :eek: :eek: Phew. :o :o What the !!! :D :D

[gary tompkins]

Yep did notice your "moment" - a momentary lapse I guess? I backed off to cut you some slack for a while, also the road surface was pretty mucky which didn't help. I expect you were feeling a bit frazzled after yesterdays Surrey trip/ride out too?

Bit worried about Slobs "ARE YOU OK?" post Re: Bob & Bumble, think I'll give her a bell to check all is well :confused:

Do tell, how is Gay Paree?

[Pedro]

Hey Nonnie

despite what you might read else where, I din't go out on my bike today with Bob and co and I didn't have a full english brekkie or a Prawn roll or do about 140-150 miles today. My new tyres weren't at all grippy and confidence inspiring.

Does that make you feel better?

Oh well, worth a try....:D

BTW, the Diablos were ace!! As was the brekkie etc and the ride out!

[Nonnie]

I admire your attempt to make me feel better but......didn't really work, did it? I'm free next weekend though and I might just get down that way and join in if anyone's out and about. Conquered my huge fear of the QE2 bridge last weekend. Can't beat a full English brekkie but I've had big problems getting the leathers on after a large lunch and I bust my zip last time so I'm trying to not eat so much in one go when I've got Juan with me!

[A Yerbury]

Do tell, how is Gay Paree?
very gay, very paree, very warm, very -as usual- pricey...but a good afternoon out.

[Mand]

Did you take any piccies of the tower?

[A Yerbury]

Did you take any piccies of the tower?

yes, not digital tho, so they will take a wee while, pleasant drive back, car with the old fella, as we were selling a few antiques-left the bike chez moi, nice change to walk about free as one of Michael Howards gypsies, no leathers, lid or thieves to worry about. what a town.

[Mand]

to spend a Sunday afternoon. :)

[A Yerbury]

...There are more pleasant ways to while away a warm and lazy afternoon but alas, you are a married lady with an easy blushing condition....I had fun though, it's all about the ambiance.....and French women........and Notre Damme.....and the Louvre....

If you can, get yourself down the M25 to Boxhill for the Southern Ducati meet on the 27th. There should be a few about.... :D

[Nonnie]

I know! Juan has 510 miles on the clock now. Service has to be at 600. Booked in for 9th April. If I do this run, I was thinking, what's the leeway (sp?) on the mileage? Grandad lives next to Box Hill!!! I could pop in and frighten the living daylights out of the rest of the old folk with my Terminonnies.

[Albie]

It will be fine im sure. Can expect at least 100 over for any service unless they can guarantee a quick book in policy. My Zafira was 6000mls late on its 20000ml intervals. Huge big service gaps now.Some people dont even do 10000 a year. Mine does 42000 in a year. :eek:

Come on down in your glam leathers and take the p i ss out of mine. :D :rolleyes:

Thanks for the mileage advice. I won't take the p i s s out of your leathers if you don't take the p i s s out of mine!

[CK & AK]

Nonnie - 1st service is 1000kms - which is a tad over 600 miles anyway.
As Albie says: if its booked in they usually give you a leeway of 10 - 15% anyway - but do check with workshop.

My present bike had 1st service at 720 miles, as shop couldnt fit in for 2 weeks when I booked.

Look forwards to meeting you at Box hill then :D - Albie is meeting a few at the Oakdene cafe in Kent (not far off motorway for you) to ride up :)

C :burnout:

[Bob Dixon]

Sounds good.....I`m off to Timperley this morning, will try to do that whole Honda Accord / BP garage thingy cliche. I know its a bit cheesy, and everybody does it, but I `m going to drive in , fill up andf pay my money to the cashier just like all the other punters. I figure that if you've made the trip you may as well do it.......

I am seriously tempted I have to say. It's a long way for me on my own but if the weather's good I don't see why not. Must take beer easy on the Sat night though. I've been to the Oakdene before but I am severely navigationally challenged so I'm going to get proper directions and make myself an itinery and make sure I can do it BEFORE I set off!
