Scratchers do the New Forest 10th or 11th May 2003

[D.S.]

Sign up now if ya interested in a bit of a scratch down to the New Forest over 10th/11th May. Leaving Box @ 8.00 working west along the A272 and down towards the Forest, where hopefully we can tie up with a few local boys? Not sure which day yet and reckon it's best to keep it open 'till we know what the weather is doing. So come on, get those passes stamped and get ya arses in gear.

[Gatso shy]

Sorry Joeboy,

would liked to have joined that one, but have treated

myself that weekend @ The North West 200, have never

been before, but it should be a buzz,

Cheers

:beer:

[D.S.]

but I'm going through a "crowd adverse" stage, so limited myself to the Catalunya GP this year.

[reefer]

yeah pencil me in:rolleyes:

[The Colonel]

Hey there, I am back from my superb journey to the depths of ireland where the weather is wicked and the sun was out every day and as for the roads - wow un crowded, un cluttered and mainly new tarmac (on the main roads)..... woooshh and were off!

Anyway I am up for the trip to the new forrest so Jop count me in

PS - not wanting to be a pain but any joy with that lid price etc Joe?

Cheers
A

[loobrushXXX]

[reefer]

fook sake:eek:

[D.S.]

the early bird catches the empty roads mate :}

[1200Pete]

10th or 11th come on down and we will treat ya to some good old fashion southern style hospitality.
Was tryin to save me tyres for France on the 15th but hey what the fook, we don't get visitors down here that often.
Look forward to meeting you boy's

[davet]

Ok i will need to scrub tyres in.
Any idea of route or are we winging it as per:}
BTW where do i get my pass stamped?:m

[reefer]

dave when you getting the new tyres fitted and whats your expected milage before the "trip" as ive gotta get a new front this saturday:B and im wondering if its gonna last:dunno:

think me fooking rear shock went tonight also:mad:
mind you spose its better now than in a 5 weeks time

just dribbling over ohlins pics..should i, shouldnt i ? lol

[davet]

reefer
Thursday may 1 st tyre change front & back m8. Got to keep it to 1000miles before we go i hope but if the sun out i will be out on bike.

[D.S.]

So good on ya bud.

Hopefully get the Samster out (if we can prize him away from his current playboy liefstyle for a few hours :}).

Leaving Box by 8 via A29 and A272, propose to arrive by 9.30ish, demolish a breaky and then ride some roads with ya Pete. Er... I'll qualify that; ride some roads behind ya :}.

Reefers & tyres. You still running that Dunlop on the front :rolleyes:

My experience of 020's is that fronts last for about 7k miles and rears about 6k.

[reefer]

yup still on the 208 although its bald as a coot now:eek:
im running on the tread limit bits
im ordering a new shock today also..so watch this space for scratching :p
the 208 has only done 4k miles?? dunno if thats good or bad:dunno:

[Samster]

Playboy lifestyle????

I thought a day's waterskiing in the New Forest with a professional hooker and then a couple of Viagra and a load of Coke the next day with a 6'2" stunner was normal behaviour when the sun was out!............or am I getting old?

That bleedin' Viagra rocks guys. Mate of mine just got sent 2000 100mg tablets from Thailand..........they're a right laugh..........poor bitch was scratchin at the bedroom walls trying to escape from me by the time I'd finished............I had to test them out though didn't I.............lemme know if anyone fancies giving them a go.............

[D.S.]

:bow: Samster:bow:

just covered the laptop in tea - cheers mate !

Personally, when I'm in "Dirty Sanchez" mode I use old chineese remedy "Suifan's Kwang Tze". Contains - Aloe Vera, Clove, Korean Ginseng and Cinnamon (au natural).

It's the stuff the porn star guys use. Rub it on the end of ya knob (stings like fook for a sec) but then it begins to go numb, resulting in "shag for hours" ability without.....................er I'll leave at that :}

[Samster]

That sounds really cool mate...........I'd like to give some of that a go AS WELL as a couple of viagras..........need to find another bird though to try it out on though as I don't think that the tall one would let me do it again...............dog on heat wasn't the word!

[Samster]

Correction to last post! She does fancy it again............Saturday night.................awesome

[D.S.]

:lol:

Can you imagine a Viagra and Suifan's Kwang Tze combination?

Bring on the Heart Attack :h

Er..............has this thread sort of ........... digressed??? :} Who cares.................

At the mo, it's lookin like Sam, Dan, Lee, Pete, Reefer, Deadly Dave, Looey (poss), the Colonel, Ben'll be there & moi.

If the weather is fair and we opt for the Saturday, I'll be there too! Buggered if I'm gonna meet at Box though, will arrange somewhere along the way when you know which route you'll take down there :blush:

Cruser :beer:

[reefer]

errr if its saturday i might not be able to make it:B
in serious need of front wheel rubber
i cant make it to the tyre place tomorrow morning for various reasons and cos there in darkest kent the only time i can get there is on saturdays:B
if you lot can decied for sure on the sat or sun asap then i might be able to wangle some time off work to get there during the week if its gonna be the sat:dunno:

[reefer]

cancel me last post:goofy:
got me weekends mixed up
anyone going on the hastings traffic jam next weekend?

[D.S.]

arrange somewhere along the way when you know which route you'll take down there

I'll sort things out with Russ, when we finalise what day/times, etc.. looking forwards to it already mate.

anyone going on the hastings traffic jam next weekend

:lol:
your not seriously going are ya??? I thought you had enough of traffic from Monday - Friday. I'm certainly not going anywhere near the place (fookin nightmare!). Infact, I'll be going in the opposite direction, 'cos I prefer an empty road - perhaps it's just me, perhaps I'm a freak, an oddball and have been getting it totally wrong for the last 23 years; but I thought biking was all about actually riding ya bike and getting away from the masses :dunno: :violin:

[1200Pete]

Hi all,
It looks like the majority of you will be travelling on the A272 or the M27, either way you will all have to use the M27.
Just after the M3 meets the M27 there are some services, it would make the ideal meeting place.
What kind of riding are you all looking for, scenic, scratching, blast etc.
Let me know and hopefully I can tailor a ride to suit.
Those travelling on the A272, be warned it is a superb road but it is heavily patrolled especially by police bik

[Cruser]

That'll be the twisties then please!

Feel pretty sure that Joe and Dave will want the same too :yo:

Cruser

[davet]

That'll be the twisties then please!you bet it will where are we meeting at the service station?

[davet]

That'll be the twisties then please!you bet it will where are we meeting at the service station?

Don't worry mate the service station aint a big place, I am sure we will find each other, any ideas on what time ??

[davet]

EARLY LEAVING BOX HILL AT 8.30AM DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE COMONG UP A272 TO M3 WHICH JUNCTION OF M27 IS SERVICE STATION

[reefer]

yeah i know it its quiet a new one

do a nice iced coffee in there also:bow:

[Supabird1100]

Originally posted by reefer

You're leaving yourself wide open again M8 !!!!!

Admitting to knowing the best Motorway Service Areas for an iced coffee !!!!!! :}


Just jesting !!!!:lol:

[D.S.]

Motorway service stations ??????????:rolleyes:

The route I was proposing to take when posting this thread was down the A29, across the A272 to Meon Hut and then down the A32 towards Fareham (all cracking roads). At Fareham pick up the A27 then onto the A3025 - A3024 towards Totton where you pick up the A35 to Lyndhurst (avoiding the M-ways :m ).

Now, can we please have less of this m-way business as I'm very "boring road" adverse :} and so should you be Dave, given you nearly fell asleep on the "A3" a couple weeks back (LOL).

Leaving Box at 8.00, we should be at Lyndhurst by 10 at the very, very latest ('cos we gotta make allowances for Reefer, LOL).
How does that fit with you Pete, Sam, Lee & Dan, ???

[Pete QUOTE]Those travelling on the A272, be warned it is a superb road but it is heavily patrolled especially by police bik[/QUOTE]

Pete, you wouldn't be refering to the unmarked Blue and/or Burgundy Pan European or even the eye in the sky that followed us the other day for about 5 mins on the A272 would you?
We also have first hand experience of unmarked black Volvo's on the A29 and everyone knows that the A32 is used for high speed pursuit training, so watch out for Scooby's and more Vulva's!
Any other tips would be gratefully appreciated Pete.

Pete, I also read the B3055, B3054 & B3056 down to Beaulieu are good and have decent surfaces?

[1200Pete]

So where do you want to meet service station or Lyndhurst :dunno:
Trust me I know motorways are boring but the roads from the A32
to Lyndhurst are a nightmare + they have just put up 32 new speed cameras in the Southampton area and the A32 comes out miles off route.

Would say that best bet would be to stay on A272 untill you hit the M3 then it's a very short run to the M27, then again it's only a short run down to Junction 1, not even time to sleep !. From there we will take the A337 down to Lynhurst and the B3056 to Beaulieu and from there you are on a mystery tour.

The cars and bikes to watch for are, any dark Pan, Green, blue (dark and light) volvo V40's with a boot, Hampshire has no police chopper but watch out for there spotter plain it is blue and white with twin engine and the undercarage is perminently down, this is used for speeding.

[reefer]

hi pete

you ever been along matchams lane down your way?
if you have youll know about the 2 humps along there..blinding for a take off ramp!
i over took an xr2 down there a few years back in me rs turbo
done it on the wrong side of the road and with the 4 wheels off the ground lol guy in the xr2 needed interior valet afterwards me thinks:}
but also some wicked twistys further up it near ringwood etc

[D.S.]

Ok Pete you're the local man, so relying on you mate. I'll follow the A272 all the way and then head south and meet you at M27, junction 1 @ 10.00am. Not sure what others will wanna do but I'll PM you my mobile number.
Looking forward to the mystery tour already.


[Reefer QUOTE]but also some wicked twistys further up it near ringwood etc[/QUOTE]

:lol: so you'll be heading in the opposite direction then Reefer (Reefer, King of the Twisties :rolleyes: ) :}

[davet]

only a shoet section of m way JOE
thinking of going.
A272 TO WINCHESTER / A31 TO JUNCTION 10 M3/ GET OF JUNCTION 11 THEN TO A3090 TO ROMSEY & ON TO A326 TO TOTTEN & ON TOWARDS FAWLEY. HANGING A RIGHT ON THE B3054 TO LIMINGTON

[reefer]

"so you'll be heading in the opposite direction then Reefer (Reefer, King of the Twisties "

be carefull who you mock...as you know my seceret weapon was fitted yesterday:bow: :f
bought a fooking brake bleeding kit..cant find the bstard..just got back from buying another one:B

[D.S.]

[Reefer QUOTE]be carefull who you mock...as you know my seceret weapon was fitted yesterday[/QUOTE]


yeah I know mate, but as I told yesterday those stabilisers ain't gonna help you :f :}

he managed to loose the ginger for 3 hours yesterday, (er.......no, I ain't talking about scrapper, I meant the spice) :}

[D.S.]

BTW Reef, don't forget to apply that sticker to ya lid. You know the one?

[1200Pete]

[QUOTE]Originally posted by reefer
[B]hi pete

Dont worry boys you will get to see it all :eek:

Lets agree once and for all that it is definitely Rownhams service station between junction 3 and 4 west bound, for those without compass the sun should be behind you:p
10:00 AM

Any one want to decide the day :dunno:

[1200Pete]

Just a thought, dose any one want to visit Sammy Millers motorcycle museum wich as it happens is directly on route.
It takes about an hour max to get round it, cost's about £3.50
and has a caffe out the back that dose all day breakie :lick: etc.

Up to you guy's your wish is my command :bow:

[reefer]

FOOD:eek: now were talking
what about a late brekkie:dunno:
meet up, strieght into the museum down the back to the cafe..and take it from there..worth getting up early in that case:bow:

[D.S.]

Museum time = less riding time, but as we'll be down early & we're off to Spain soon, I 'spose we could pop in :} Seriously though Pete, that's a good idea.

As far as the day is concerned, I can't make Sunday now and I know Looey & Russ can't make Sunday either, so it's gotta be Saturday. Now, all we gotta do is pray for good weather.

Meeting point as stated by Pete (Rownhams service station between junctions 3-4 West Bound). Er............see you down there guys R#?

If everyone shows that 10 bikes (nor more me thinks) of which 8 will be birds, so this'll qualify for inclusion in the ride out challenge :yo: .

[Cruser]

As Joe said, gotta be the Saturday for me as unfortunately have to work every Sunday.

Joe, depending on the final route you choose down there and your time of travel etc, I may join you en-route somewhere. I'll mail ya nearer the time I think.

See ya then guys, am looking forward to getting some hot riding tips of Reefer, seems like he's a bit of a demon on a Bird :-:

Cruser :beer:

[reefer]

hope no ones behind me on the route...cos im gonna be burning rubber:eek:

just fitted 12mm spacers in the front forks and dropped the oil weight to 5!
havent had time to take the baby out tonight tho for a road test

no probs crusier..always happy to share my shit hot riding ability with fellow members:rolleyes:

how many points if you hit a donkey or horse:dunno:

[1200Pete]

Yup Saturday's cool with me, I will try and get some maps of the route sorted out cos i aint gonna be hanging around, any one got a problem with breaking the speed limit better stay at home.
This will be a WILD RIDE WITH SOME TECHNICAL ROADS so any one with a missus on the back or the weekends luggage with them...... hope you can read a map.

[Cruser]

The only speed limits I have a problem with are those in towns/villages (40's/30's). Please tell me we aren't gonna blast through 30's at 80!!!!!! There ain't no skill involved in that, plus speed limits give's some time for slower riders to make up a bit of time before being left behind again :}

As for the wild and technical bits, that's what seperates the men from the boys :lick:

Cruser

[reefer]

errr cruiser..me thinks you have a virus on your pc m8
cos...it seems it finds the words "hot " and deletes them
better get it looked at asap IMO

fast ride out..no probs, i always remove the brake pedal and lever before these sorta ride outs anyway:rolleyes:

in fact if you have a copy of the proposed routh all the better for me as i can stay behind at the cafe and have a few extra coffees then catch you lot up:blush:

[D.S.]

I've no intention of loosing my license just before my trip to Spain or at any other time for that matter and I've just got rid of my 6 points. I'll save the continous fast stuff for the track, so maps maybe useful as I for one WILL be slowing down for villages as Cruser and I did on our last ride out.

fast ride out..no probs, i always remove the brake pedal and lever before these sorta ride outs anyway

:lol: me thinks ya full of shit mate & I'm really looking forward to seeing you out corner Russ!

[loobrushXXX]

Hi Pete

Regarding the missus and luggage, we will try to keep up but if you could see your way clear to waiting for us occasionally it would be appreciated, but on the other hand perhaps I could borrow a Pan European complete with panniers and blue light, they seem to be able to keep up with you alright.

Love Loobrush

:loo:

:loo:

Ow bugger loobrush I thought you were staying at home :neenaw:

As regards speed limits in towns and villages yes I will be sticking to them (ish) but if you don't know the intire New Forest has a blanket 40 mph limit and to have fun here you will have to exceed that by quite a bit from time to time. :eek:

[loobrushXXX]

Pete

If memory serves me right New Forest is full of horses, are bends going to be covered in horse shite. If so whats the best tyre to cope with that????????????

:loo:

[davet]

don't worry about it mate, cos if my memory serves me right you were streaks ahead of Reefer on the last ride out (mind you that ain't difficult :dunno: )

40mph blanket speed limit???that`ll suit Reef then! Alternatively, just give him the blanket :}

Dont worry about the Horse shite on the roads, it will be the Bull shite after the ride that will be hard to deal with :lol: :lol:

[loobrushXXX]

:} ENOUGH SAID

:loo:

[Samster]

Cool. So I'll see you all at Rownhams Services at 10am this Saturday. These are on the M27 WESTBOUND (towards Bournemouth) not the one's on the other side!!

Nutty Dan and Lee the Mille are up for it, unless it's TOTALLY pissing down...............

[D.S.]

should we refer to Lee as "Lee the Mille" but applying the Mulle voice (Mullet) :}

Er....if it even looks like rain I'll be staying in bed - no worries.

[Samster]

:lol:

Mulle.................................and away!

[1200Pete]

Looks like the weather is going to be ok for Saturday R#?

[loobrushXXX]

we are out, bike is layed up kept putting it off but bike has now made decision for me has to have some maintenence done.
:violin:
so have a good day guys .pete do'nt let any pans sneak up on you :eek:

:loo:

[D.S.]

commitments.

Er.........Pete, I've just seen the forecast for the weekend on ITV and it ain't looking good mate, so we'll have to see what it's doing Sat morning. Having said, when could ya rely on the forecast :dunno:

[davet]

They say possible light showers over night & morning then dry with sunny spells temp 17 but what do they know if its pissing down at 07.30 am when i get up all bets will be off.


Only joe goes out in the wet on my bike!
:lol:

[D.S.]

Infact the forecast is rain :B . So let's all take a rain 2moro AM and call up each other before anyone ventures out :rolleyes:
Sunday is supposed to be much better, so if 2moro is pants, then I can make Sunday, don't know about anyone else :dunno:
My mobile number is 07831 5919627.

[1200Pete]

Aint it always the way, just been looking at the weather rain thingy for tomorrow and it looks like the rain is going to be a bit higher up than here.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/ukweather/south/precip24.shtml

I will look out of the window tomorrow and if it is pissing down I will post it on here first thing.

If it is pissing down Sunday is ok by me too.

Didn't think you were going anyway Reef?

Er...........and I didn't go 'cos I was a dirty stop out (and a dirty Sanchez) on Friday and got in about 2.5 hours before I was supposed to leave :Puke: . So now sat at home suffering with the mutha of all hangovers and it's just started to chuck it down. Hope the boys aren't getting too wet :blush:

Apologies boys but the voices made me do it.

[reefer]

missed a good one joe!
as per usual i went through a set of hero blobs in just a few hours..and me tyres took a hammering on the twistys..but ive come to expect that now anyway












































ok i turned up late:eek: as i did not decied to go until ten to nine, thought id head them off at the bike gaff..got there..noone about:dunno: ..knew i was quick so i put it down to maybe one of the others slowing down there group..so i waited..waited..had a fag..waitied..saw a couple of 600s pull in..but not the correct group!
phoned dave t..only to find due to a little drizzle all the hardened riders round at petes gaff, feet up watching dvds!
so we had a few brews and some grub (cheers pete) and then headed back to our various points in the country

oh and by the way that little ride back to the m27....i wasnt even trying..and i think the bike was only running on three cylinders...and errrr the front tyre pressure was a little low:blush:

[Cruser]

Was an interesting start to the ride, some pretty good twisty sections of road although a few were fairly bumpy. Would have been good to have had a long ride and got into the swing of things but the rain stopped play.

Thanks very, very much to Pete and his luvly missus for feeding, watering and entertaining us while we waited for the rain to stop :beer:

Good to meet some new peeps, hopefully get to ride out again soon. I'm at work again today, so as per usual the sun comes out :bandit:

Cruser

[davet]

cheers pete for the grub + tea & some interesting roads a pitty rain stopped play early.

Cruser hows the brakes:} May be next time i will follow you LOL

Dry roads on the way back 'typical' Ta for the tea Andy

Nowt wrong with my brakes, they work pretty well in an emergency situation :blush:

I reckon it's the eye-brain-throttle linkage that needs an overhaul :}

Cruser

[1200Pete]

Thanks to all that made it, a real shame we didn't get to do the best roads, still did manage to have a bit of fun on the wet roads :eek:

would like to finish the ride after I get back from France if anyone's interested ?

[The Colonel]

Pete,

Firstly as you were the host to the days events I indeed too must say a big thanksyou to you for being so hosipitable and letting us dry out in your luvvvly gaff. Your missis is one fine cook and I cant say a big enough tahnsk for the energy grub that we recived. I must say to everyone new and old that I am sorry if I was not exactly in the picture during the ocurse of the day - following an extremely heavy Friday night out on the town then a ridulously early start on Sat I must say I was well and truly battered and not the most coherant person out. NOT MY USUAL SELF may I add.

So yes thanks to everyone for what could have been a shite day but indeed turned out to be great fun despite the weather being balls!

Oh and another cheers to Pete for getting out ur vids of MAch 2/3, what a superbly class bit of camera work, hopefully reefer will come up trumps and sort out a err hmmm "copy"?

Cheers to all and yes I totally agree that we should indeed finish the ride off one good weekend!

C U Soon

Andy / Colonel:shooter:

[D.S.]

Reefers' gonna supply you lot with copies of my DVD that he's had for months that I paid my hard earned for :m :} :}
