Do it then

Well the woman is up for it so looks like we'll bob over, we don't live very far away anywho. She's undecided whether she's going to pillion or come on her tiddler (won't have her big bike licence by then)

reeto, we're in. Not been to any meets or socials since moving to the area so makes a good place to start

Bikers world had zero items that fit the woman, she wasn't happy, not having much luck finding woman shaped textiles at all, (including the 'womens' ones)

I'm going to have to give this one a miss unfortunately.

I'm off the bike (& work) for at least a month as I've fractured my wrist after taking a tumble at work. Have a good 'un guys!

My missus has found Alpine Stars women's kit to fit really well - and she's not a 5'3", 6 stone model type, like most women's kit is made for.

Yes! They're made in my neck of the woods in Sheffield. They're well known among the amateur racing fraternity for making bespoke racing suits- very good quality kit you have there Mr Sharp.

That's interesting and nice to know. I Have had them for 12 years BUT that is fazersharp years which has to be ride calibrated to 13,000 miles

I am going to have a try and get over, but I got a feeling im gonna get lost

Millietant · « **Reply #43 on:** 31 July 2016, 12:51:35 pm »

Huge apologies to Karlo and Mr Sharp - I couldn't make it today - was all in the plan, but Liz has been ill so it's taken a back seat

fazersharp · « **Reply #44 on:** 31 July 2016, 04:45:03 pm »

Kosmic Kartman · « **Reply #45 on:** 31 July 2016, 05:43:53 pm »

You either got there to early or to late.

Good to meet up with old faces and some new ones.

Hope everybody got home safe.

......get some paint on those downpipes before they rust away

fazersharp · « **Reply #48 on:** 31 July 2016, 08:14:32 pm »

It looked like rain as well and I braved the dark clouds and everything

I didnt leave until about 1 ish so you lot had gone by the time I got there its about 35 miles away for me but I went the back roads /scenic route.

Oooow look. I can see my Julie in the picture.

You must have just missed us Fazersharp.

328 mile round trip for me Red... I win.

Would have been shorter mileage but Northampton wouldn't let me out.
