  1. What??? I sat on a hyper when I was seriously thinking of adding a second bike and I couldn’t reach the floor with flat feet. Congrats and welcome!

  2. I don’t know if it’s an official bike meet,but there’s always plenty of bikes there on a Tuesday night as I drive past on the way back from work
     
  3. Well after your long suffering you’ve ended up in the correct Shire.:)
     
  4. Is that on /close the A41, we could have a Cheshire/Staffs meet up if all the planets lined up.

    Wasn’t the The Heron the other meeting place but got shut down due to (anti) social riding skillz being displayed?
    :)
     
  5. That's the one
     
  6. Blythe Bridge near Stoke is another, not ever been Sunday I was told about.
     
  7. Brother-in-law lives there, never seen anything around there when I've been up?!?!?!
     
  8. Must have been fake news, but the dealer did say they were taking a stock of clothing and accessories up there as a display may well have been a one off.:)
     
  9. Isn’t the bike meet at the Blythe Inn near Uttoxeter on a Tuesday night?
     
  10. Might be, my (mis) understanding was it was Blythe Bridge, might be I have my wires crossed.

  11. There was plenty of motorcycle traffic passing through Tamworth Tuesday evening hence asking the question.
     
  12. Is this on the big round about? A chippy and a transport cafe next door to one another?

    the bike meet used to be at the Stormy Petrel a couple of miles further up (or down) the A41 in Tern Hill but the the pub was demolished a couple of years ago.

  15. Welcome from North Shropshire.
    The Raven on Thursday nights is 10 miles for me and Ivetsy Bank is only about 30 minutes away. Could we have a mini forum Ducati meet up before the dark nights set in.
     
  16. A Thursday night in August works for me and Ivetsy Bank is only 30 mins away whereas the Raven is about an hour.
     
  17. Yes but you need to get to your first service quickly……….

    I’m easy on wherever it is within reason, Ivetsey is around 10 minutes for me Raven is probably around 40 mins. But all suggestions are easy enough for me.
     
  18. Lol! I’m struggling to put the miles on and need another 300miles to get to the first service. Are you available for a Thursday night meet in August?
     
  19. RandT very close together on the keyboard. Common typo.

  20. I am big boy, should I dress for dinner or just straight for the after party? Although which rendezvous point, flash headlights to confirm we’re in the know?
