It appears there are more Ducati riders in the area than the members map indicates.....a few of us (three) think it might be a good idea to have a 'local' meet...... ....I have found a location that might be suitable and the place doesn't object to bikers turning up......Saturdays are the best as snacks are available rather than sit-down meals.....The place is what used to be known as The Cherrytree, now the British Larder, Bromeswell, Orford Road, IP12 2PU just outside Woodbridge (not far after the railway crossing at Wilford Bridge, Melton). So, just sounding out.....how many of us would turn up? This Saturday if weather AOK? AL
Ipswich......The place where they don't bury people........they just leave them standing upright at bus stops..........
It's Suffolk, generally.......... The sort of county you move into for whatever reason, and you find you can't get out......I've been trying for nearly 25 years.... AL.
I managed it - have now spent more years out than in. Need to check my passport is in order as we're visiting the olds at the weekend though!
AL - I should put more in the title next time, words like 'meet' etc? plus I guess it's getting close to bike hibernation time for many.
Hibernation???? What's that :biggrin: I laugh in the face of British weather.... But apparently not those in Ipswich
If people haven't the gumption to look at the title and the section it is in, to know what it might refer to, then b*llox...........After all, other people looked from outside the area, whether out of curiosity or whatever..... And.....I still ride in Winter albeit not as often....but there is something quite nice about going for a blast on a sunny November / December morning -- if the frost has thawed. AL
understand your approach (and have felt the same in the past) but only going by my own past experience when threads fail to conjure up any interest. Sometimes you need to spell it out (hang on, got an idea..)
Al in the abcence of anyone else i am up for it, what sort of time? I need a good blast about as i have been going through the hoops of car insurance and the woes that go with that pain in the Ar*e!!!
Well, if there is only going to be the two of us, you might as well come here for your usual Saturday coffee! Besides it's going to p*ss down and I have got a cold now..... Give me time to wake up though...It will be a late night tonight.... AL
Sorry Al I missed this been a mental week, I would be ok if your brave enough to put up with a weeble on acid (kind of what I look like). Even if I just drag a bike out for a cuppa. I will be ok after next week got an op Monday and have not ridden for a couple of weeks as not been great. But should be out and about again after next week. There's loads of Dukes in Ipswich ... no offense to Ippo sorts but it is full of unsociable gits to be honest half the time and its true about leaving dead people at bus stops. Ive lived on Dartmoor and it was more sociable.
I agree with that..... I now have a stinker of a cold, so I am probably not going to risk it getting to my chest this weekend..... AL
I'm suffering a sore throat, cough, sn*tty runny nose and sneezing ten to the dozen.......great if I sneeze inside the visor.......might stop it form misting up, though.... AL.
