Sunday Spin???

In all seriousness lads ( and lassies) there are no "rules" to the Sunday spin as such.
It's just a couple of people who have a common interest ( motorbikes ) out for a get together , a couple of miles and some banter.
You wanna go fast, go fast! You wanna go slow, go slow. No one gets left behind. Our regular lads keep an eye on the group and usually one hangs at the back to ensure no one gets lost.
Even typing that makes it sound way more formal and organised then it actually is.
We meet up, we eat, we laugh, we ride and we go home.
Only you will know if you like the spins or the banter.
Leppla,
I would not even go to the trouble of explaining a Sunday Spin for people or "Person" who has no interest of ever going to or taking part in one. Pure wind up post...looking for a trouble.
Fair play Zascar, on it like a flash.
Same rotten apple purely stirring the **** constantly....move on lads and keep her lit

It was for the benefit of other users of the forum , who might have been thinking of heading out!
I couldn't care if more ppl come out or not, I enjoy the spin every Sunday either way !0 -
I started going on the Sunday spins around 3-4 years ago with several nutters from here, although it started on an other forum and migrated to here! I was not long on the bike and was extremely inexperienced. I traveled from Carlow to Naas to meet up with them, I still do most of the time and not just dry days but in rain and freezing cold. I have missed the last few Sunday spins due to circumstances out of my control, every Sunday I couldn't go just p$%"£$ me off because I knew I was missing out on great craic and twisties and I check back here to read about it and look at the pictures while sulking!
We all learned a lot from each other over the years and still do, especially LookBehindYou whom shared his centuries of experience and wisdom. Genuinely made me a better rider going out on these Sunday Spins. Not once was I left behind or know of anyone that was left behind during the spins, everyone kept an eye out for each other. At the beginning I knew even if I didn't see them in front of me someone would wait for me at the next turn off to show me the way or stick with me to let me watch their lines and learn from them. I asked plenty of dumb questions and always got an answer without any judgement. Had days where we got together and did maintenance on our bikes, sometimes small sometimes big.The banter was always brilliant and so was the grub.
Whenever a new person joined the spin they were always welcomed regardless of what they were riding as long as it was two wheels, we have had 250's,cruisers to supersports out with us and they all came back for more, very rare a new joiner would not return after the first spin.
Don't be shy, just gtfo on a spin and enjoy yourself, it doesn't matter if you don't know the route were going on as someone will always make sure you find your way home one way or another, we have often rode extra miles to drop someone off near their place or at least a road they recognize.
However, be warned it is not an organized ride out, the only thing gets organized is where we are all meeting up and who we need to pick up on the way, and food! Most of the time no one knows which router we are going to take and end up all over the country. Most Sunday spins I leave home around 09:00-10:00 and don't get back till 19:00-20:00, most of that time is spent on the bike and the rest is either smoke breaks for LookBehindYou or Subway breaks for Wonda!
Come out and ask questions, even if its just to meet up with everyone to say hello and then you can head on home or stick around for an hour or two, everyone is very accommodating and don't really care where they go as long as there are twisties. One thing that doesn't happen on Sunday Spins is the route is almost never the same, every week its different. We have a tendency to like the N52 but its not done too regularly that you get bored of it or you remember all the turns and bumps, one part of the road always catches me out, thinking I either gone passed it or its not coming up yet and have yet to guess it correctly!
Get out on a Sunday Spin and make up your own mind
