It's the first Saturday again (sorry I missed last month, and failed to post before I went on holiday)
Since the games are back in East London I'm proposing an alternative to Docklands...
back to Fatboys next month.

10am at Ozone Coffee Roasters (http://www.ozonecoffee.co.uk/)in Shoreditch

Ah, right next to me this time. :)

I can't make 10 but I'll swing by at about 11 and say hello anyone is still there.

Can't make it. Too many twists & turns and clutch slipping for my hand as I've not been back on my bike yet.

I will be the fat old git in Ducati t-shirt, anyone who can make it, old or new, very welcome.
Sam, I'll probably head out Suffolkwards after too.
Dan, sorry I can't make Lydden but I'm trying to make sure London meets happen as predicatably as possible. Have fun!
James, hope to see you later on.
J.P, get well soon!

Can't make this one - was hoping to be back for lunchtime but need to spend the morning being fitted with a suit for a friend's wedding! Maybe next month.

Ozone is great though, really nice food too.

I'll be leaving the Esso station nearest Fatboy's at 9:30 if anyone knows that but doesn't know how to get into Shoreditch.

Downstairs with Thuli, Altaian & bex if anyone gets here and can't see us.
South end of city road is shut so best approach from Old Street.

Great day out guys, thanks for the excellent roads Rob. :-)

Let's be sure to get another one in before the weather heads south.

Slob, cheers for leading the way into the 'Big Smoke'. Great choice of venue for Brunch. Had a real fun day out - though not sure I'll ever 'enjoy' riding in cities. Still it's what you're used to I guess.

Nice to see familiar faces, and good to meet another member. :thumbsup: Cracking bike Mintyhit - great choice!

Cheers also for leading an interesting scenic route to Skins & back.

... and for the record, after 110miles of mixed riding:

M796 – 56mpg
Streetfighter – 49mpg
M1000 IE (with pillion) – 48mpg
MS4RS – 38mpg

Shocking performance from the SF - I can only conclude that Altaian did the entire ride in 6th. :)

Quite shocking for the SF1098 - I was hoping it would be mid-50's... :shocked:

Had it not been for the MPG comparison, I'd have made it all the way back without filling up (perhaps even without the fuel-light...) :spin:

Yeah it's pretty mad the difference in fuel consumption between the two, almost 25%! :)
