Hi, dunno if anyone off here is interested, but there's a rideout(detailed below) organised by another site i'm involved with. If anyone wants to come along, feel free, but let me know so i can add their name to the list. If anyone wants the site details, again pm me. Its specifically aimed at NW(England) bikers and yr welcome to sign up(its free). So far there's 24 put their names down. Edit: The Tickled Trout is at J31 of the M6-where the A59 meets the motorway(the BP garage) Steph   NOTE: The date is set for August 8th and the meeting place will be Tickled Trout at 9.30 am to leave at 10.00Is anyone interested in a ride out in the old fashioned style ?Dad and I are thinking of organizing a run in the old fashioned style .......... There will be no racing around or traffic light grand prixs .......... just a good day out of around 150 miles in the south lakes and dales on lesser roads that the sports bikes tend to avoid. Learners will be able to keep up easily as we will be riding 35hp British bikes and you will get to see the scenery not just flashing through it hanging on and gritting your teeth  Thats not to say the day wont be fun its just a return to the glory days of motorcycling where relaxing and enjoying yourself will be more important than what time we get there ......... lunchtime will be leisurely and involve a local pub or cafe and the ride will have a tail end charlie to make sure all riders are safe and accounted for .Just an idea at the moment and it depends on the interest shown Let me know and we will set it up ThanksChris                                                                                                                                                                              

That sounds good Steph!    I would love to do this. Will get back to you I have a few things to sort out first.                                                                                                                                                                             

Dont think Im doing anything that weekend either, so def maybe for me n the Roo   Will get back to you over the next week                                                                                                                                                                              

I also like the look of this one round the lakes and stuff a bit of gentle hill riding                                                                                                                                                                               

This sounds like fun, I'd love to come though I'll have to consult family diary first will post a definite when I've done this.                                                                                                                                                                              

It's the weekend of Yorkshire Pudding Rally ( which i am hoping to get to   )                                                                                                                                                                             

Would love to but clashes with Yorkshire Pudding , and I've already bought my ticket. Can highly recommend calling into the Hawkshead Brewery in Staveley. I especially recommend the Brodies Prime for those that like a dark full-flavoured beer. They have a beer garden and German-style beer hall upstairs which looks out onto the brewing facility: http://www.hawksheadbrewery.co.uk/more_info_extra.asp?c...rent_id=79                                                                                                                                                                              

Am interested in doing this, will be up North for a couple of weeks at this time. Can you give a postcode for the tickled trout.                                                                                                                                                                             

Am interested in yr old fashioned ride out Steph and happy to be yr tail end charlie as my gsxf is quite easily spotted for a reason which fails me   (it cant be cos its yellow could it... hmmm)    Will get back to if i'm not working that weekend                                                                                                                                                                             

Sounds nice Steph will have to see how it goes nearer the time tho, few things that I am not sure about yet

Sounds good to Sue and me, will check diary and cancel everything else that day .
