[CaptainBBQ]

meeting down south ?

I'm up for the meeting, but is'nt the venue nearly the midlands ?

If anyone wants me to find a venue for the NW around Rivington (north Bolton) or in the trough of bowland (north Preston) or around Parbold hill (near j27 M6) let me know I sort meetings and discussion nights as a table biker (thats ex round table mostly ) We could have butties and a speaker etc. can we discuss at the windmill etc anon anon.

Also we (I) could sort a nice run for a w/e 2 night stay in some remote venue with a pre-mapped route let's say Brockwood hall in Millom and a curcumnavigation of Cumbria or a trip to Lockerbie Queens Hotel and a boarder raid etc Wadda u think ?
I know of some biker friendly hotels with music and banquet facilities too
Great way to meet and use the bikes for the w/e for about £100

Cheers,

Jon

one of my reason for buying the GS was to get out more on a bike, my green laning will always come first....
but i'd be up for a meet anyway plus always interested in a ride out....so count me in..

 

[Terry NW]

ok heres the first one then,
A saturday night in Tenby south wales... went there on the gixxer 20 months ago.
TOP night out loads of pubs etc, i know a place we could all stay at too..

route , open until we hit newtown.. then the A483 is a must... then i've got a few other roads you might like to try

anyone up for weekend at the end of july ?

what you wil get is some effort with me putting things togther... all i ask is :
come if you say your going to come.
and nice friendly folk...
oh bring your birds with you because i'll be taking mind.

plus a nice easy green lane if your up for it ?

ok a date for you to look at / is weekend of the 29th & 30th of July can not do later because having work done on the house.
so looking for a little input here guys on route and number going please so i can get a list of B&B in the area..

Terry

Last Night

Ok, so I turned up last night at the Windmill and wondered where evryone was.

So went to Earthmover to have a up of tea. Also saw how easy it was to remove mapsource routes on a PC

I will try and remember NEXT WEEK

Must be getting Old.

eeeeeerr guys. A certain 'local' football team is playing a certain scandinavian team in quite a major tournament on Tuesday 20th at 8pm. I , for one , would like to watch the match.

If enough people are not interested in the footie then thats OK stay with the 20th but if not we might want to consider changing the date OR changing the venue to one that has a large TV?

Isn't that the 2nd time you've done that in the last 12mths!?

oh yes forgot about the football team play... well i might just have to used that video recorder i've not used for some years ..because i'm going out on me bike.

i said to myself after watching England play two years ago in euro 2004, i would never go out my way to watch them again if i have something else planned..
the plays we have a world class (very good) but only on average put 50% effort in.

So i'm going out on my bike to meet some of you lot ,or will i be on my own ?

 

[earthmover]

I intend to be there, might not be on the bike, depends how the packing/kids/weather are doing.

Malc won't be there, but he will be the week after

Only joking Malc, got the mapsource stuff sorted finally . It helps if you know what you are doing, I suppose.

Windmill

I will be there too.

Which Tuesday ?

There is a small TV in the bar. Bar should be quiet as it is not the sort of pub that atracts locals. Especially with the local BMW hells angels attendance.

See you 8:30 ish ON BIKE.

Who am I ?

Dude, it's the Sveeds, and Ingerland have won the group - why stay in, enjoy the ride out. I will this time anyway, see you there.
