motorbikes, not pushbikes. ;)

where do you go on a day out? don't need to know the roads (police might be watching :eek: ) just where you generally meet up.

today i went matlock for a ride and yesterday i went to arnolds in burton.

normally i used to go the wild ox on the a46 as the roads on the way there were awesome!

thinking MFN will be the most regular stop in summer. :)

cant go anywhere more than 75 miles away as it means i need to fill up before i reach destination. :o bloody rsv milles are guzzlers!
 
MFN on a Wednesday evening/night during the summer. Great atmosphere, live bands, looooooads of people and an all round good night out.

The bottom car park is mostly filled with chavs on mopeds these days but the front one and the main field are still fine. It really is a great night out, I went almost every week last year :D

Just need to finish rebuilding my Bandit then I can start going again *sigh*
 
I've been to work! And back to the dealership to pick up some papers lol. Other than that, no where. Not had 1 day off to just ride yet! :(

Going to go around on Tuesday for a bit, see a few mates over Liverpool and what not. Would like to meet up with some other bikers though and have a tour out somewhere, start enjoying my bike and a nice open country road :D.

What!! light weight, I usually end up filling up 3 times on a good day :D

Wasn't unheard of to cover 1k miles on a good weekend. Usually found terrorising the local wildlife on the Cat and Fiddle, North Wales or the Lake district.

Usually in summer do about 150-200miles on a good day rideout, usually on my own, but sometimes with other bikers but that usually gets abit heated lol, but for meet ups usually some Cafs around Alton, or Portsdown hill, been meaning to go meet up with some guys at Box Hill.

haha, i aint got the wallet to go with the mille's drinking habits! be better when i go racing as i can start fitting it with my ex race tyres and spare oil/fuel.

i used to be able to do 500 miles a day on rideouts on my old CBR! mille was crippling my wrists once we hit towns!
 
There were a few out today when I went on a spirited drive, sign of nice weather:D

Clumber Park/Notts normally.
 
I do 50 miles to work and back every day so by the time the weekend comes all i want to do with the bike is leave it in the garage which is a shame as I used to love weekend blasts.
 
Basicly anyhwere fun in Scotland. The usual warm up run is:

Which is 150ish miles so makes a nice day out, some top roads and great fun to be had.

Then normaly move on to the trossachs area which normaly involves taking a bbq finding a nice loch and having a nice swim as the food cooks. Again makes for a nice day out and nice to have a swim to strech out.

This is us half way across Tummel:

ever had your kit go missing? i wouldn't dream of doing that in england for 2 reasons...

1. the kit/bikes would go missing.
2. i'd catch something from the water and my dick would drop off.
 
Hmm all over ...Normally bike cafes . Ace / Foxes(Oxford) / Box Hill (crap run there though ) / Comfort cafe etc etc

We tend to do 200ish miles on a day sometimes more but not that many good roads round here that suite 1000cc bikes

Tend to stick to North of my house for some reason. Yorkshire Dales, Moors over to Whitby, Lake District, Scotland if its for a few days - we're wuite spoiled for good roads really :D. On a summers evening Squires is the big meetup place - about 1000 bikes on a sunny wednesday evening.

Hoping to get over to Wales for a weekend this year at some point, but definitely going to Isle of Man TT, and also got 10 days pencilled in for a European tour so they take priority in the free pass stakes with the mrs :D
