Sunday Spin 22nd

Wonda-Boy

Will be meeting up again this sunday guys, back to the regular spin seen as the road races are not on this week (back to the Amoy races next week)

So will be meeting up on Sunday in Kilcock and or clane at 12 bells depending on who is going......

Hopefully see a few of you there especially the new lads on the 250cc's to get a bit of experience.

Green_Martian

I might try and tag along on this spin, hopefully weather holds up. Is it for experienced, intermediate or novice riders??

What is the planned route??

Wonda-Boy

It is for experienced riders with no ego that will accomodate and pass on advice and techniques to novice riders wanting to learn, while having the craic and a good spin.

All bikes welcome once you are comfortable on it, Route will be planned closer to the time but we could do the the N52 to ardee and beyond seen as its such a nice road or maybe the back roads around kildare and head south....

Green_Martian

sounds good, have been on bikes for a few years now but would no way call myself experienced, hope i can make it could be a bit of a trip as will be coming from the northside of the city

Wonda-Boy

Well I am in Meath, so if you wanna head my direction that morning on the old N52 through ashbourne I can meet you halfway or the like. And head to whatever meeting point is best.

I am a total noob on bikes (12mths) so thats why I try to get out as much as possbile to improve off people on bikes longer then me....

Hopefully see you on sunday.

Ill stick with my cb400 for now:D Still getting the feel for her. Drove into work the other night. Its an 80 mile round trip up the N4. Yes I had to change my pants 5 times:P. I wasnt prepared for how bad the visor can mist up and leave you blinded, It didnt help that a 40 foot was up my arse most of the way. I stick with getting some daylight experience before I take her out at night again. Im shockingly poor at taking a roundabout ( actually most sharp turns ):o I need lots of practice

Wonda-Boy

Just be careful with the turns mate....not alot you can do about the 40 foot. For turns most important tip I can give you is be in the correct gear....ITS CRUCIAL. But it will help if you in the right position also, but gear is more important.

CB400 is a great bike!! My missus has one, I take her for a rip now and again to get her fluids pumping (the bike, not the missus! LOL) and I just love it! Great starter bike too. I used to go up ad down the N4 too and just had a hoot!

As for corners and roundybouts - all I can say is practice, practice, practice. You'll get it.

Wonda-Boy

Having a spot of bother with the bike at the moment so the poker run is off, I will try to have it sorted by 12 bells to have a spin.

Water got into the bike somewhere and the idle is well of and its running like a dog. Might have to get 4 new plugs, but I aint getting up at 7am to sort it for a poker run at 10.

I will ring you tomorrow at 11 Ed (bikerguy) and see where you are sure I will head north side anyway and try to meet you lot.

Bikerguy
