OcUK 2022 Summer CBT Rideout (AKA - 125cc fan club)

Gimpymoo · 5 Jul 2022 at 17:17

Would anyone wish to partake in such a jolly?

I mention CBT as there seems to be a few around here but keeping us CBT lot together would likely help keep people in their comfort zone but would not want experienced riders feeling restricted by us noobs with our pocket rockets.

Would be nice to meet up, have some good riding and get some food etc.

Obviously, location/routes would be dependent on where people are but would be great if we could include as many as possible.

Have such gatherings been done here before?

Where would you have in mind?

Would depend where everyone is situated I guess?

Either coast or countryside?

I doubt any "experienced rider" would feel restricted or care less what speed the group were riding at.
Someone racing off into the distance defeats the point of a group ride out.

Definitely, you are right, and the more who could get out the better the day would be.

All there for the same thing

If there was one close to me I would consider it until I get braver and go for a longer ride out.

It is surprising how quick you can acclimatise, got my bike on a Tuesday, Wednesday was in rush hour on dual carriageway.

I just wanted to be on the bike.

I'm just glad to see so many people taking up 2 wheels. Nice to see all the different discussions on here. This time next year the same people will be talking about full licences and bigger bikes once the bug catches you

Minibiker · 6 Jul 2022 at 14:59

I'd tag along but I've no longer got 2 wheels

kids came along and now I'm stuck in a big piece of metal

Could be fun, might have to go pick up a 125 wreck to fix for it

id be happy to attend if it wasnt too far

Depending on date and location I'd pop down of your accepting larger capacity machines

NooBish AbbZ · 15 Jul 2022 at 21:04

Would be open to it location dependant if you'd allow 600's (XJ6N so I'm nothing particularly quick!)

Also, most fun I've ever had on a ride out was on a 125 with a mate.
