Thanks everyone for the interest - looking forward to this now - checked out and there seems to be live acts on at the Stirling Castle each weekend - but will still confirm whats going on. Think we have anough to help out on bigger bikes unless we have a mad rush of 125 riders joining up.
Again if there are enough big bike riders interested in riding out over there in a big bike group then would be good to meet up over there. but obvioulsy trying to limit the number of bigger bikes that are going along with the 125 riders as the weekend is aimed at them to get some riding in with those on similar bikes and experience.
- looking to set off from Huddersfield around 1030am, but again if anyone wants to come over on the Friday night and crash then you would be welcome (give me a PM and let me know).
Also those on the attendance list please check your inboxes for further info
Indeed T-cat been to look at my poorly girl along with petepiper managed to get a part now trying to sort rest out....big thanks for the help and support means a lot and also mean can get some miles and experience finally
Obviously.. as haven't even done CBT yet.. I can't come on this one but pleeeeeeeeeeease let me know if it happens again.. and if there are any nearer to Newcastle that would be even better!
seems there are a few peeps interested on having a ride out to Brid on bigger bikes - so again if you want to make a 2nd list up for a bigger bike run out then feel free to use this thread and add your name to the list.
um ah um (Hugh Grant type mumbline >>) not wanting to offend anyoone um ah um
Be great to have a load of people for a night out in Brid, but keeping the two groups seperate on the road would be the better option bearing in mind the initial idea was to give the 125 riders on here a ride out where they aren't intimidated by bigger bikes.

I spoke to the lady at the guest house this afternoon and she'd like to know numbers by this Saturday.
She's got 2 single rooms 2 doubles and family rooms, she reckons she can squeeze us all in somewhere and would give us a 10% discount if we book and pay a deposit of £5 each!
So who's up for it?
I don't mind sharing if anyone wants the single rooms?

sorry just another pointer - when you ring the guest house, can you let the landlady know you are going on the Learner Rider Weekend, just to give her an idea of who we are when we ring up? ta much

Thanks tcat, we went over the basics of maintenance but it wasn't on my bike and I just like a refresher if that's ok

OOh I really wish I could join in on this one
Yes, basic maintenance is covered on the CBT but there's so much information thrown at you it just doesn't sink in
I was out with my mate on her 125 last week & her chain came off (eeeks!).
Fortunately a good samaritan biker stopped and helped put it back on. He asked when we last lubed our chains? (mine was rusty too (eeeks eeeks!!)...we both had vacant looks lol. She's never lubed hers....I own a can of lube but the last time it was lubed was in July
He was aghast and informed us we should be greasing em after we've been out 7 or 8 times.....well neither of us knew that but apparently we would have been told on the CBT
Did you know that ladies ?
I have sooooo much to learn lol
Have fun xxx
@ Minnie can see the sales of lube going up now I cant remember a ruddy thing of my CBT apart from ya life checks .......BUT no doubt all be fine ................I hope
All I got told on my CBT was to check that all lights, brakes, and horn were working before setting out! Nothing about lubing chains or anything Will book today then I can't back out either. Happy to share. Fingers crossed for decent weather too
