Banter and buttplugs aside for a minute

Here's to hoping that 2019 is as good if not better than 2018, same banter and a few more organised runs after the worst of the salting . Yet also a poigant reminder that what we do can be dangerous, there's an empty seat at these fellas tables..

[big-lew18]

Gave the bike a wash and another coating - I was supervised by trained professionals while completing this. Then took the bike to work this morning

Planning

 

[big-lew18]

Set my new roll bag on for a test fit. Its the oxford aqua T30. I think I need 2 of these roll bags, or at least aT20. I don't know if they'll both fit though. They are stackable. But might be too tall? That one can be compressed down a bit with the 2 straps over the top when filled

 

[Chris666]

1 pr underkeks worn 4 ways twice
Couple prs socks
Shoes
TShirts
Trousers

You taking the kitchen sink too? I'd probably want a few extra L space or really bare essentials packing

 

[big-lew18]

There's a tent and sleeping bag to go too.lol

 

[Chris666]

Oh lol! Plenty of hooks on there to bungee to, cargo net?

Was thinking that. Might get away with a fairly big rucksack too, instead of another roll bag

 

[Chris666]

This is mainly for TT? You'd hardly be on the bike that much between home - boat and Douglas - Campsite

 

[big-lew18]

Yeah. Well maybe use it elsewhere too. But mostly overnight or 2 night. So won't need as much stuff

 

[Alan_B]

Investigated wonky speedo readings. The nylon drive between the cable and sprocket bolt is fooked. Don't suppose someone has a clever idea to get me by for a few days till a new one arrives?

 

[Scuba Steve]

@big-lew18 im condering a run over to the TT but i will have a merc sprinter to take. if i do go can throw your stuff in it. im gonna load the bike into the sprinter. its a camper/bike touring thing.

Solo trip, most of my biking contact list is from RMS so I figured few if anyone would be interested

Saying that, I'd be more than happy to have company on the road/intercom laughs

 

[mckeown]

Count me in if youre heading! Would love to do the nc500 and get around applecross etc
