[SYD] Ride on Thursday 8/1/09

Betty · January 06, 2009, 12:19:44 AM

Now I have just realised that this is Vince's track day ... but if anybody is up for a ride, let me know.

My workmate has taken delivery of his S2R1000 and is keen for a little run. North would obviously be my preference ... was thinking maybe Wollombi via Wisemans then return via the Old Road.

So any interest?

Apologies to Andy for running a bit late ....

Yeh Hi Betty,

I've been meaning to get in on one of these rides for a while now. I did the Ws Ferry - Peats Ridge ride last Monday by one's self. Very enjoyable however would be great to see/experience riding with other Ducs.

I've been a bit of a soloist since owning my Ducati Monster 620 I.E. for just over a year now so I should really get out a bit more.

I have little internet access (now at local shops - Harbord - Nth beaches) so will provide my mob. If anything goes down tomoz be great if someone could call me. 0422005595.

Nuggethead.

I was going to head over to norton street later on though.

Jukie · January 07, 2009, 02:13:44 AM

they will have fun whilst i will be working

Just back from a fun little ride. It was only the two of us in the end as Nuggethead couldn't make it. On the way back from Wollombi we had some showers and the wet roads showed us the quick way home.

Someone certainly seems happy with their choice of S2R1000 over the GT

Hey guys,

Hope the rain didn't dampin the trip. The road (when wet) aft Hawkesberry crossing can be quite hairy i discovered. The Bridgestone battleaxe gripped ok though. I would like to think I'm cornering ok - however, would be great to get a few tips next ride opportunity. Dry no worries - pushing the 620 fairly hard - just need more confidence when wet. Experience i guess.

Cheers for contacting me Betty - much appreciated. Keep me in mind for next trip - can't wait.

Seems that we need to set a few dates for future rides - it worked quite well last year knowing some dates in advance, so I'll start another thread.
