This time, comfort is in my favor. More than happy to sit on the bike for half a day straight lol.

Haha, well, you say that when you see what the fat Ducati can do

Oh yeah bike is a Suzuki GSR750.

Found out my bike gives me bum-ache.

Got sent to Tesco to pick up a few bits on Saturday, weather was pretty good so i went to a Tesco 20+ miles away and ended up on a nice 50~ mile ride.

My legs and arms were fine, but i had bum-ache. Hopefully i will get used to it by spring

Need more padding obviously!

agnes · 16 Dec 2013 at 20:11

It's fine, after Christmas you will have plenty of cushion down there.

Linkex · 17 Dec 2013 at 09:50

I'll be there on my ZX6R

agnes · 17 Dec 2013 at 10:40

I guess there won't be any harm in sorting out a route now.

I will look at decent routes. I will avoid motorways on the way out to Brighton, up to your self's on the return trip.

agnes · 20 Dec 2013 at 09:36

OP updated with route, please give your input and thoughts

Fireskull · 20 Dec 2013 at 09:49

5 hours? 3 at the most

Hardest bit for me will be getting up early to get to Oxford for 10!!

Shimmy · 20 Dec 2013 at 09:57

I'll likely be available, but would it be suitable for someone with barely any experience?

Did my DAS a couple weeks ago and have only taken the bike out a couple of times in this weather, which is only really set to get worse.

Absolutely mate, last time it was a casual relaxed pace, no willy waving or fart arsing around. It was a gentle ride to the destination which 4T5 sorted, then those who wanted went on an insane ride (I went a little crazy and maybe pushed it a little... Dare I say the fastest?

) whilst the others sat and had a drink.

4T5 was on a 125cc!!! As you can see from the OP, there is a large variant of bikes, all shapes and sizes, some built for speed, some built for comfort.

I've been off for a few years, only just come back to it. So long as ok with the distance, then don't worry, come along

agnes · 20 Dec 2013 at 10:38

I will have the misses on the back, and probably be using the GPS, although it's a VERY easy route considering the towns we are going through/past are main ones and will be signposted way in advance.

I'm on a big sports tourer bike, and like I said, the misses will probably be on the back so won't be chucking it around by any stretch.

Shimmy · 20 Dec 2013 at 12:06

Ah cool, that all sounds reassuring. Impressive list of bikes!

Can pencil me in, Honda CBR600FS.

Yaayuh! · 20 Dec 2013 at 12:10

Yay! I no longer have the least CCs

Linkex · 20 Dec 2013 at 12:32

Don't worry Rossi~, the Ninjas only 600 as well, so you were already ahead of me

Route looks good to me. Tis my first group ride out, am looking forward to it.
