Proposal For Regular Northern Meets.

[100milesaway]

  Slane glad you have thought fit to join us, lots of gossip, help, and advice if needed, and a bit of a giggle along the way. Lots of my biking buddies come from in and around Bolton, and I meet them most Sundays up at the "Bridge" At Kirby Lonsdale. As Kwikas suggests maybe  The Northern based lads should meet for a day out.  Enjoy   cheers Geoff

I'd be up for a monthly Northern meet, (work permitting) if you want to organise that Geoff.

Yes I'm sure that could be arranged through the forum, looking forward to it already.

So where are we meeting? Come on how long does it take to organise a meet?

Erm !!!!! hang on give us a chance I need time, I'm 64 me ya know.

yeah cummon ...get yer finger out...a northern meet is a MUST DO

How about the Bridge Sunday 19th February....there that wasn't too difficult was it 

[100milesaway]

Yes 19th FEB sounds great!!!!!!!!!! BUT is that a good idea whilst we are in the grip of this really nasty spell of weather. I can picture the scene at the "Bridge" 2 Inches deep in snow and ONE of us out of the SIX that said they were "AVIN IT" stood eating an egg & bacon butty on his odour cologne, bellowing out what a bunch of W the other 5 turned out to be.  Plus if the weather is a steaming pile of poo I can see us just having a chin wag, then toddling off home with no trip out together involved. So I think the best option would be to wait a few weeks until the weather is better so that we can have a PROPER  meet, and a day out riding motorcycles together. Just my thoughts.   Please discuss.

[O.C.]

I'm open to suggestions, and I proposed the 19th as the weather up here is currently snowy and icy, but warmer weather is forecast for next week, and so I thought the 19th might be the first sensible date (plus I'm keen to get out on the bike)

Obviously if the weather and road conditions haven't improved by the 19th then it would make sense to postpone the meet, I guess we'll know nearer the time.

Any Saturday/Sunday (even some midweek days too ! ) in the coming months is fine by me,,, we can meet, eat and talk bollox probably all at the same time 

We seem to have Hi-jacked this thread

Does anyone have any objections if this thread is split with the latter posts commencing a new thread regarding a Northern meet?

Absolutely not Steve....good idea....and I wouldn't stand anyone up if arrangements had been made to meet, unless there was a VERY good reason to do so..
