Essex/Suffolk Ride Saturday 22nd September.

[Oli]

Glad you all had a great ride-out. Brilliant that the rain held off till 4 pm!

Sorry I had to cancel last minute, shall look forward to seeing you all on the next one!

@RickS1K very sorry to hear of your breakdown, hope you?re home safe and sound now and that it is a simple fix for your bike? As @phil says I hope this is the end of the bad luck

I only made about 270....before the ***** broke down. Sitting in Starbucks waiting on RAC....

I think the extended use of the heated grips might have exhausted the battery...

Was it similar to what happened when we left Snetterton?

Good to meet you too Dave, glad you got home ok. I did 198 miles door to door, I think Colin must be nearer 300!! :encouragement:

I cant see anything on your post.:hopelessness:

Oli might be able to help.

Colin, did you get recovered or did the breakdown manage to fix the Bike? Next ride out shall the Essex lot meet you, Amit et al at Loomies?

Hi, we had to limit picture uploads to Premier Members (?12.50pa) as the storage costs a lot each year. If you wish to post up for free you'll need to host the pics on your preferred cloud storage and link to that.

i.e. https://imgur.com/ or similar.

Phil, Colin (Rick), took your advice (see below). Hope you enjoyed the rest of your ride. Was good to meet you both.

If you think its the battery then worth replacing (its a warranty item if you have one). I had bike dying at traffic lights in winter due to heated grips - replaced battery & it has been fine since.

Hey all, I'll start a thread for what happened to my bike - as you'll see the breakdown is less concerning.

Phil - maybe we should meet at Rykas and use Loomies as a stop off/destination (or Goodwood...or both)

Is that Box Hill? Would prefer not to have to go via M25, How far is Ashdown Forest from you? Maybe better to discuss over phone.
Im taking advantage of the High tomorrow and riding down to Devon for a couple of days fun. Chat when I get back.
