Ive done it mate, was the best few days of biking ive ever done, i did mine deep in northwales with the police was great, and i plan to do it again in a few years, one thing i would say though is the NC30 isnt a good bike to do it on!

Really? Bigger bike you reckon?

When were you thinking of doing this mate? I am a bit skint at the minute, and want to service bike (shims, plugs, balancing left) before any big-ish rideouts, but am definitely up for doing something like this. Been riding for about 8 years now so about time I did I think!

no more the fact your SPENDING huge ammounts of time at varying speeds and scenarios, not to mention the heat the engine gets up too :s

by the end of the day your back WILL be in agony.

AH! Replies :D hehe

Yea, i figured as much... my NC doesn't like towns/traffic much :/ Unfortunately i don't have another bike to do it on, so you reckon it'd still be worth it??
I'll just have to dope myself up on a couple asprin and ibuprofen :P

And cheers for that link Hardnut! It was gonna be £50 round my way, and it'll only cost me a tenner to get up to Bedford :D

So let me know if u keen Viper! Was thinking maybe the 13th?

Cheers all
