Let's do it again! 
Departing Box 6:30 heading to the South coast via B-Roads and gravel tracks. Aiming to arrive about 8:30 for something to eat before returning via a slightly more direct route. |

| Seemed ok until you mentioned gravel tracks. Whats the point unlessyour into greenlaning? Doubt my knee will be mobile enough for a prolonged ride, especially not on gravel tracks on a bloody sportsbike. Had a go at riding this eve. Managed to the bottom of the road around the roundabout and back.....on tarmac!! |

I don't go actively searching for the gravel tracks, but somehow I still end up finding them 
It'll be mostly B-roads, just to try and avoid the Friday night traffic...all Tarmac I promise!
Failing that Barry, why not just give in and get a BMW GS...g'wan, you know you wanna... |

It's a bit hard to find an "interesting" road that isn't a gravel track in places at the moment.
Hopefully things will improve weatherwise soon - go JetStream goooooo...
north
I might be up for this run too. Now, which bike shall I use?

| Weather is looking a bit crap for tomorrow daytime, but clearing in the evening so this is still definitely going ahead. It'll add some fun puddles to go splashing through |

Nosnowking - Kawasaki Versys - I expect if NSK is involved then Firecracker will be in tow on a Red SV650 (curvy model)
Capt.Slow has a Pink  Suzuki Gladius,
Jimbo has a choice of bike if he show's up (Blue Suzuki naked SV650/Black Aprilla RSV)
I'll probably be on my Burgandy ST1100 Pan European if it's damp etc (otherwise black Triumph Street Triple R)
I'm sure you won't have any problems keeping up.

I'm sure you won't have any problems keeping up. |
What are you insinuating?
Yes, of course you're welcome And yes, you'll have no problems keeping up, I ride at a steady pace and we'll wait at junctions for the group to reform. It'll be good to have you along. |

Firecracker (the curvy model) She sure is 
Sharky - blue R1. Just got granted a pass from swmbo 
NSK... Please bear in mind that R1's and gravel tracks ain't exactly a match made in heaven.. Or rain for that matter... Or cars turning right..
