Planning to take the 12 and with a bit of pottering this week should see 100k somewhere on the wrinklies.

Group photo around a speedo!

Hmm, socially distancing masked group photo pointing to a speedo somewhere nearby.

As for being a fast rider well we will find that out next month on the group run.

Ah - group rides are never fast. I say never, but it's pretty unusual, since 'fast' normally means someone gets left behind and ipso facto we're no longer a group!
You & Brian give us a head start and then catch us up. ::)

Can't say I've ridden with anyone let alone a group for years. Back in the day Fjowners club runs with doc hacker at the front were, er , brisk. Even when lorinda was on the back. Still, once you see my lines around corners you'll be keeping well clear either far in front or staying far behind....😱

Maybe I need to write an app that meshes us together, with feedback options to the leader:
- slower
- faster
- where are you?

It is said that groups ride at the speed of the slowest rider.

If this is true, why do I rarely see any of you lot?

Talking of which, I suppose you are spending the Sunday night in Shropshire. Either way, fancy meeting up for the rest of the journey to the frozen Lakes?

Will not be breaking the journey in Shropshire. If I get away between 7 and 8 could be with you between 11 and 12. If that's not too late then a quick slurp of tea and a biscuit I suppose we could be in wigton between 5 and 6 depending on which way/number of stops we travel north.

Richard and I are currently in negotiation about meeting somewhere around J21 of the M6 and sticking with M6 till we get to J36 (so avoiding the Covid corridor of Blackburn, Bolton and Pendle, all with lovely roads around them) and then hiving off into the Lakes.

My wrists will dictate more or less what I can manage in terms of the extra-curricular activity off the motorway but I will want to be up at the hotel by about 3-4 to give them a rest and do a little socialising. So, I was planning on getting away from mine by about 10:30 - 11 and my Garmin, which never lies, says 4:15 to get to Wigton for fuel using the M6 to J36 and 5 hrs to get there avoiding the M/ways.

I could see if I can find the spare bed under all the clobber if you would like and you can get away on the Sunday and do a sleepover here. That way it means we all get a decent ride without breaking our necks. I know you are used to million mile dashes but I'm out of practice.

I'm away until Saturday evening but you can call me on 07973309131 at any time to discuss.

Keep it simple. I'll just leg it from here. You can find out where I am here

See my real-time location on Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/@/data=!4m5!7m4!1m2!1s104083801988018716589!2sChZBeS1feWx3TmlDTDRnSUd0eXg3NU1REggHBa5sLTRepQ%3D%3D!2e2?hl=en

Which I have only just discovered last for 3 days. PM me an gmail address if you have one then I can share location. Failing that we could just talk on the phone....

As you please.

Richard and I are meeting at Lymm services J20A of the M6 between 13:00 and 13:30.

Perhaps we'll see you there. You've got my phone number.

So on the Wrinklies this happened





I had witnesses





After 1250 miles in the 4 days its now washed and tucked up in the shed while I get some miles on the K13.





 Needs a new ABS unit and front shock. Debating whether to use Wilbers or OE. Need to send the wheels away for repainting too. And there's that nasty scratch on the RHS fairing to get painted.

Had an email from Ride saying they might want to feature the K12 in a high mileage bike article. 15 mins of fame coming up ?
