There's 175 members of this forum in the UK.
Don't you think it's about time we had a little meeting of our own?

I'd go for a late May/early June date, somewhere in lil 'ol middleEngalndshireville to make it fairer for everyone but if there's a swell of enthusiasm for outer hebrides or lake district I'm game.
A hotel and good pub would be favourite. Good roads shouldn't be a problem wherever we end up. A nice Sunday morning Ride out together. Excellent!

Any suggestions?
Post up here with some ideas and let's see if we can't make a weekend of it somewhere nice.

I'm happy to play coordinator...... just need a few signs of enthusiasm from everyone.

What say you lads and lassies?

 

i think a meet would be good, but i'm to down south. wouldnt be able to ride when i got there

 

Z,
that doesn't exactly get us off to a flying start. Down south? Crippled from the off? Jeez....... we're going to have to do better than this.

Tell you what...... break down 2 miles from your house, get towed to the gig and we'll bring beer and give you a ring side seat to watch the sword Morris dancers.

How far south are you anyway? Portugal?

 

[quote=HenryM; Morris dancers.[/quote]

Morris Dancers - now you've caught my interest, I didn't think I would ever do a search on this forum with Morris Dancers as the criterea and get a result.

Have big fun guys,I hope you all get it together.

 

hey at least i replied

im tucked down in the english riviera that is torbay.

morris dancers and beer sound slik ea good crack though

 

Yes Z, thanks for the effort of replying at least.
I like Torbay. You could always stage your journey up country avoiding what ever crippling effect it is you're worried about. Have you tried riding more often. It's amazing how quickly your body gets used to a certain position. A few weeks practice and you'll be up there joining in the dancing too.

 

Im in

Just out for the day or make a weekend of it, i'll go with the flow.

May 21/22 looks ok, not a bank holiday maybe less traffic ???

As Shakey said The National Motorcycle Museum next to N.E.C is quite central.

Basicly tell me where & when.

 

its the 200 mile and 31/2 hour ride that worries me on a 17 year old cbr 600

although the museum does look appealing

 

If you can make it start in London and lend me a bike on March 17, I'd down for it. Can't seem to fit either CBR in the bag.
