sry i bugged out.. wanted to get back early but ended up getting stuck in m25 gridlock.

was a nice route up but abit to hot as since removing all my heatshields my ass heats up at anything under 70mph

freefaller: your tt REALLY goes well... i was quite shocked with how well it pulls, and from behind it sounds amazing

Shame you had to leave early. Ride back was a lot different to ride there as roads were a LOT clearer. Hardly anyone was doing 40 in a 60! I managed to get up to 60.499mph on the way back which is all good as it rounds down to not breaking the speed limit

Fair enough, I only went as far as Midhurst. The A25 that runs from Dorking to Send is pretty good btw, but a little out of the way if you're returning to Winchester-ish.

Yeah I know the A31 & 32 well cos Bahnstormer BMW is on one of them Hopefully ill be able to make the next one, having missed two already

It sure is

I was there Yesterday, Really want to have a go on the Tricked up HP2

didnt ask but Im sure their test ride was 25 last time I did :/

I went out on all sorts of Beemers (4 i think? Couple of 800s, a 650 and even a 1200!), Bahnstormers couldn't care less about my age! Top guys there, bloke called Danny dealt with me

Fireskull · 28 Jun 2009 at 21:16

It was a shame you left so early but it was nice to meet you.

The tt surprises a few people if it had a good rider it'd be even better! It does sound great though. Hope I didn't asphyxiated you with my popping and banging!

I floated all the way there on the fumes from everyone whilst I was at the back! Did anyone else see those pink elephants?!!

calling up and booking is the way foreward with bikes I think

Freefaller · 29 Jun 2009 at 08:23

Anybody take any pics, I stupidly forgot to!

Yeah I took about 5 so not a large amount. I'll upload them when I get home. Did you text me Scuzis number or Paul yesterday btw? None of us received it!

Freefaller · 29 Jun 2009 at 09:40

Oh... weird, I sent it to you :/. Ah... do you have iphone v3? Maybe that's why I sent it as an MMS.

Fireskull · 29 Jun 2009 at 10:34

Scuzi probably does not want you calling him in the middle of the night

I have V3 but I dont think you sent it to me.

Freefaller · 29 Jun 2009 at 13:26

Nah I sent it to Tot. Ah well.

Totality · 29 Jun 2009 at 14:55

Yeah I have v3. Maybe MMS isnt working on my phone! Havent received any MMS from anyone since upgrading come to think of it. Time to test (and no that doesn't mean you can send me pics of you in your suzuki fanboy thong Fireskull haha!!!). Wonder if I can get a Kawasaki logo attached to my Borat Mankini though as it's green...

Fireskull · 29 Jun 2009 at 16:13

haha I will just set something up to keep sending you superior bikes on a daily basis

Pics of your mum are welcome though....

Totality · 29 Jun 2009 at 16:21

MMS is borked on my iPhone! Can send them but not receive them. Over to the Apple section I go...

Generally the more 'premium' brands - whatever that means - (BMW, KTM, Harley, Triumph, Ducati) I found less fussy over demoes, with exception to Triumph, although I suspect/hope it was just Bulldog in Twyford who decided my money wasn't good enough for them :rolleyes:

KTM were more than happy to let me out on anything I fancied (even an RC8R), and the same with Bahnstormer. Danny @ Bahnstormer let me take out absolutely anything I wanted to. I spent an entire day going from one bike to the next :cool:
