| Myself and Duke1 are going on a leisurely ride out to Winchester We leave at 9:00, aim to be in Winchester for 12-1ish where we will act like tourists for a few hours then head back about 4-5ish. This is route we plan to follow: http://goo.gl/maps/NYJlw If anyone cares to join us or meet somewhere for a cuppa they are more than welcome ![Smile](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif) |

| Looks like you will be parking next to King Alfred. I've got the OK from the social secretary, so i will endeavour to be there for 1230.
... unless you want to meet at McDonalds on the roundabout at Petersfield ...

| If you like "twisties" may I suggest a small diversion just west of Brookwood?
The B3012 Grapemouth Road towards Frimley Green, or take the left fork halfway along on Mytchett Place Road towards Mytchett.
They're minor roads, but well surfaced (when I last rode them) and much favoured by my advance riding instructor. They have a 40mph limit, but the aim was always to maintain a steady 40 all the way.
You then just have to turn left onto the B3411 to meet your original route at Ash.
Whatever your route, have a good ride.

| Hello Gents. Flying BA from San Francisco to London tomorrow, arriving Saturday morning. Going to Brands for the classic motorbike races on the day (Sunday) you're going on what looks like a nice ride. I see you're going right through McLaren country in Woking. I'm so envious of all the great motorsport you have within daily rides! Have fun! Greg |

| As a recent convert from no-screen, stock screen is quite a pleasant and comfortable ride. My only cold bits were slightly cool feet. Don't think an AF 214 would have much effect that far down. Sorry you couldn't see me modelling the sexy Respro fluorescent vest. |

| Make sure you fit the addition bracket type thingies. Be careful when you drill the plastic not to drill out the threads in the retaining nuts. Use the lightest of pressure and keep one hand pulling back on the drill so that as soon as you feel the drill has drilled through the plastic you can stop the downward pressure immediately.
Fit screen and take it for a test ride.
Cheers, |

| It arrived this afternoon and is now fitted. Will take it for a test run in the morning.
Drilled the extra holes with a small hand drill, the plastic is soft enough to get through easily. Found the threads behind and all fitted ok.
Let's hope it's as good as you say it is! |

I think you'll be very happy with the result.

| Managed to squeeze in a short run between the bosses demands. Yup, pleased with the result, turbulence is reduced. Once above 50mph felt like I was in a pocket of still air with a slight 'push' in my back.
I'm looking forward to a longer run to work on Monday, and RArch's Bovingdon trip on 28th. Give me chance to find out more about how it behaves. |
