LOFO's july 5 ride out

[red98]

Good for me Ceri,  an hour to eat breakfast and get to Box Hill. !
Is that doable. ?   I eat slow but ride fast,  just thinking about the others. 

Brand new rear tyre, no chance I'll be riding fast for the first bit of the journey, I best eat fast!

10/10 for effort H........mines in bits this morning, riding home yesterday the chains making a hell of a racket.got an R6 shock to fit so thought I would do two in one and take the swing arm out and remove the chain, got one stiff link, cant believe just the one stiffy can make so much noise.so de-greased, soaked in WD and  good brushing with mrs reds toothbrush....its ok, shes gone to work  ......cleaned up well and have just about managed to work the link free...left it to soak in some engine oil while I try and remember what I did with the shock   



scorching hot here in south bucks after a stormy night...looks cooler tomorrow with a very small chance of a light shower late afternoon.........

[kitcrazy]

not 100% but will try and make nells for 8

RAZGRUFF...iam in high wycombe,if your close your more than welcome to tag on... 
BRI...shame you cant make it,its been a while and right on your doorstep...

I'm coming down from Southam, so I'm thinking Bicester Thame A40 to Wycombe or M40 depending on time.
So will see you in Wycombe 

Give me a target and I'll see if I can hit it 

hi mate, do you know the esso petrol station at baynards green just off junction 10 of the M40. I can meet you there about 7.20 in the morning. ?. As I said , its circus time and the A43 will be very busy. We can then bob on to Beaconsfield and meet red98 ( paul) if he finds his shock... you have to forgive him.... he's getting on a bit 

[red98]

So what time you aiming to be at Beaconsfield services Paul?

Anyone up for a day out ?.....how about another attempt at visiting the sammy miller museum in the new forest ?.....meet at box hill stopping at loomies and onto sammy's place........or have you got a better idea ?

Drat, story of my life, have to be in Newmarket 8.30am that day!
Been to Cheddar Gorge recently, stopping at Loomies for breakfast, Sammy Millers is great, wish I was joining you, been there several times and never tire of it, especially when in good company!
Was at Thruxton yesterday on the flying Fazer 8, not a track day as such, as they don't do bike days there any more, but an IAM Ride Skills Day for £120, 6 x 20 min track sessions, with 6 x 20 min classroom sessions and 6 x 20 mins rest break plus an hour for lunch!
Fabulous long track, just over 3 miles and very technical, just loved it, non IAM members are welcome too! Covered 300 miles in all, 100 of them on track so an amazing day with endless tea, coffee and water plus lunch voucher thrown in. Bonus is you don't have to wear leathers, just normal protective gear, if anyone is interested will find out next date, they have also done Goodwood.
Just waiting for track photo's to be posted http://kellydowlingphotography.com/proofing/
Enjoy a great day

[Hedgetrimmer]

Looks like I'm first home...I've always said lava red is fastest 

[greenman]

Ah at last, dry feet. Got home at 730 after searching fareham and gosport for fuel, 20 miles before I found some, thought I was going to run out. Great day out, really good to meet you guys shame about the rain at the beginning but soon dryed out, Sammy millers was excellent. Will have to do it again sometime.

[Hedgetrimmer]

Good turn out today, ten of us, and we actually made it to Sammy Miller's this time  :







And good to see everyone again as always, with the welcome addition of newcomer, greenman - well done for getting out on a LOFO ride so soon after joining FOC-U 

Hope everyone gets home safe and sound.
