The next WEB-RIDERS runs will be the weekend of the
8th and 9th April.
Hopefully a themed rideout will inspire a few too take part and add a challenge.
The objects for this theme are.....
1. A bridge
2. A bicycle
Your task is too involve the objects in some way in your ride.
I leave it up to you as too how.
You may have to be devious
Getting both in the same photo will gain bonus points in the judging and not forgetting your bike as well.
The home of the Web-riders can be found on the forum at
The idea details are there
You will have to register to join the forum and wait for access.
Please be patient
Check out the Easter Event

Recently bought a lovely XS 850 and everything in the garden was sweetness and light until all the indicators packed in last weekend. No problem it's the fuse I hear you say. Sorry no. A bulb had blown so I thought the flasher unit had bit the dust as a result. Where is the f***ing thing. Found the cancelling unit and loads of other stuff but no relay/flasher unit. Please help a poor demented old soul..
My 76 RD400 has it attached to the plastic part of the rear mudguard behind the right hand side panel.
If your bike has the self canceling indicators then you have to get the proper unit or it will not work.
cheaper ones work fine, just have to remember to turn them off.

The RD250 is the first model in 1973. I have a 350 myself.
I passed my test on one of these in 1976

Some pics from the day of the old Yamahas
This one is called "won't start, can I have a push"

I said he would be back and he was to see his handy work
Told ya too ignor all insults but still you answer.
A wall of silence and blank comments is the best reply.
SHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Those who replied done exactly wot he wanted, caused a reaction.
He will be coming back to gloat at his results.
No matter how hard it may be, NEVER and I mean NEVER put a reply. No matter how tempting it may be.
Being ignored will wind them up more than you

Local to me. The whole town centre fills up and spreads outwards. Last year over 2000 bikes came.
The two old ladies on the trike are 92 and 94 and just happened to be walking by. They asked the owner for a go, hence the pic.

That's a no then

Thanks for letting me know i will be going to that, if you could let me know where in calne then that would be great.
cheers mate
All of it mate. the town centre outwards. In front of the town library, behind the town hall and any space. I took this last year with the aircooled club.
A rock band also plays right in the middle

I will be going up from wiltshire on the XJR, anyone else going
-
This years Calne meet will be on the 16th July. 10am to 4pm. Usually a couple of thousand bikes turn up.
I will be there as I only live 6 miles down the road.
More news soon.

Got that bloody camera van and one on a motorbike now here in wiltshire. A real pain on biker pub nights in the summer.
Hey solorider ever go to Avebury on a wednesday

Gear. Hmmmmmmmmm........
Right, I have one £50 helmet. Plain colour and safety marked and does the job for me. Treat it like a baby and protect the visor. I heard a dealer say about helmets once that you cannot skimp on safety. If the helmets have the same testing stickers on then where's the differance. You pay a lot of money for fancy paint.
One pair of show bought gloves £10. Sometimes my hands get cold. So wot, been riding since 1974, I have got used to it. Like swimming in the sea in winter.
One show bought leather jacket £50. You can't beat leather.
One pair of padded leather trousers bought off ebay. I actually bought 3 pair till I found the ones I liked. I sold the others back at a profit
You cant beat leather, I say again. Been riding all winter, although I avoid the rain now, and they keep the cold out.
One pair of £30 waterproof boots. They look cheap but boy are they comfy.
Some of these biker pub nights look like fashion shows. I am also sure that a lot of them think they are better protected because they wear expensive gear. Stupidly they ride with that idea.
I ride a classic RD200 and a RD400 and a XJR1300 for me and the missus.

No body coming then

I bought it for the cruising and low down grunt when me and Lynne go out together.
Over here the 1200 Bandits are as common as muck. I'm a Yamaha man and the XJR is more individual.
I like the fact with both of us on it, it will do 120 like its on a rail in the road.
The R1's of this world may look nice but are not user friendly with a pillion on.
Word is, that next years model will be watercooled
The pub behind is the Red Lion at Avebury in Wiltshire. Wednesday night is biker night and you can't move for bikes

Posted
The ACU National Rally 2014 is one of England's oldest motorcycle events and needs supporting. Don't just go out for an aimless ride that weekend - give it some purpose.
Take the challenge and get an award. Do it one year and you will be hooked.
You can do it as a solo rider or in teams of three
