As there are a few folk on BM who do not have their own bike for 1 reason or another and rely on pilly offers, it was suggested to me that we have a Pilly Ride Out Day.   So I am testing the water to see if folks would be willing to offer a pilly to someone local and whether pilly riders would be up for accepting one.   If so what place would be fairly central for us all to meet up at ????   See if we can double the numbers on a ride out wahoooooo   (Hope my rambling makes sense)                                                                                                                                                                              

sounds like a good plan                                                                                                                                                                               

Great idea I think.

But it'd need someone braver/more stupid than me to get on the back of anything!

I'll use the car 'til I'm able to ride again.

Must say, seeing the bike in the garage every-time I put the car away is, to say the least, a bit frustrating.
                                                                                                                                                                             

Sounds a great idea! More the merrier                                                                                                                                                                              

Yeah :>>
Suspect you may have more offers from pillies than riders. .but here's hoping !

PS   for purely selfish reasons can it be later rather than sooner. . still waiting for my knee to bend enough !!!

PPS thanks for all your great ideas BJ  
                                                                                                                                                                             

No date has been set i am just looking to see whether folk are up for it to start with :)                                                                                                                                                                              

If I'm gonna get nagged at then the person on the back needs to be female and lighter than my camping gear.                                                                                                                                                                              

ooooooooooooooooooh  Phill                                                                                                                                                                                

Squashy knew you would be u for it lol

and i can personally recommend his skills !!!!
                                                                                                                                                                             

Despite having a spare seat on the back, I'm afraid I wouldn't be too confident with another adult on the back - just manage the kids and that's only because I superglue them in one position!                                                                                                                                                                             

RC no worries, not everyone is comfortable or has room for a pilly, wont stop you coming on the ride out though lol                                                                                                                                                                              

Ref' the nagging BB, my ex-wife suggested an intercom.

I think it was a joke!!!!
                                                                                                                                                                             

What a great idea Hey LTGTR.....remember just how far you have come already                                                                                                                                                                              

Call me a coward BL but I hope to-go a lot further, hence the no pillion bit!                                                                                                                                                                              

I'm up for this too, happy to take a pillion.
As for the suggestion of having it later rather than sooner, it certainly doesn't need to a be one off thing. There seems to be a bit of apathy on both sides with regards to getting the non-riders out on runs, so it could be something we all try a bit harder at anyway.                                                                                                                                                                             

Gary cheers for volunteering ur back seat as it were lol

I agree it shouldn't just be a one off thing but we have to start somewhere and see how we fair :)

                                                                                                                                                                             

Great idea BJ ... right behind it                                                                                                                                                                                 

Alex hope ur not right behind me cos u wud be sitting on Poshs topbox lol                                                                                                                                                                              

I am happy to take a pillion (Have done so before all round scotland on a bonne) and in the egg run picked up a hitchhiker who had run out of petrol (A biggish fella, but once you up and running its fine.)

 However 1 stipulation, no moaning or nagging or telling me how to ride my bike lmao

nervous pillions need not aply as it makes me worry if you think you might decide you should have got the train (get the train) lol but I think its a good idea brumJ

Glad its got folk talkin if nowt else, remember it is a request to pilly some one local to you, not expecting you to travel miles to pick folk up unless you want to of course lol
