Does anybody go down to the hayle bike night ?

A couple times a year maybe, usually just for the ride (and to save cooking tea).

It feels a bit 'clicky' even though there's quite a few people I know when I'm there.

TBH, there's sometimes some police presence and loads of bikes just wobbling around, usually better to go to where they're not!

Let us know if you want a spin down West one evening.

Just leave a post on here as to where & when you'll be meeting (Valley Truckle Garage would be better for me if I take the KTM - ahem). What ever you decide, don't wait for me as I'll come up the A39, if I'm running late (quite likely) I'll turn round if I see you all going the other way.

haha!!!!!

yeah will do! id prefer the garage as my road comes out right beside it and no doubt i shall need to get petrol! just looked at weather and monday is meant to be sunny so fingers crossed for taking the bikes

I quite often either blast down with Graham or meet him down there ( apart from when I'm panic moving ) so what he said really! I know no one down there so usually end up standing around like a spare part, every one is friendly enough but only in the form of genial nodding

Us Lanson lot are meeting Greenaways petrol station at 6:30 and leaving at 6:45 to meet up with Beth in Camelford between 7-7:15 so if anyone would like to join us along the way, feel free!

Cheers,
Matt

Hi all,

Glad you all could make it tonight - was nice to see some different faces for a change! Shame about the weather on the way home, made it a little trickier! We wouldn't have left you behind Beth as you saw when I went back to find Rob!!

Good to see our area rep made the effort and came by car...!!

You should be able to get compensation from South West Water for that!!!!!!!

graham where did you get the cornish flags from that are on your helmet??? i think they're awesome

Que Funky or Badger and their helmet joke......

The Cornish Flags on the side pods was a quick fix. I broke one of my pods & needed to replace, didn't fancy paying £30 for a pair when I intend to replace helmet this winter.

So Deej let me have his spare pod and I sanded them down & gave them a quick spray of black & lacquer - despite using plastic primer etc, the paint key wasn't the best, finished off with a cross cut from some old white fablon (can't remember why I had this).

Looked OK if you didn't get too close - however, left the lids in bags, on the bike in the sun one day in Portugal and the heat softened the paint & lifted the stickers, not so good now.

To do a proper job, I'd get some black pods (which are cheaper than the replica colour ones) and get a local sign shop to cut out the crosses.

And in the same vein, look how long its taken me to get on the site again!! Yes thanks all for coming, will check my diary and hopefully do another one in early sept! Weather should be better then as summer will have finished !

Bike is sorted btw, sticking choke cable meant it wasn't fully in so bike was running really rich, simple but easy to miss till I had a good poke around....ooh er missus !

Would like to try and organise Sunday ride soon, but pretty hectic this month so I'll see what occurs.

Cheers and lovely to meet new people!

im keen for a sunday ride as long as its not a stupidly early one!!
