I`m based near Hitchin so could meet up with you on the way up. Any thoughts on your route yet ? :smile:
Right judging by everyone else's times Im planning on meeting at the Dome Roundabout on the A41 Just outside watford for 9am In the SHELL GARAGE!!. Plan to leave at 9.15 ish. A meander over - so new riders welcome provided you got some common sense, if we got more than 6 bikes then we will run the cornerman system which i can easily explain on the day. I will going going up the A41 into Hemel hempstead waking up the hung over and elderly alike, then up the A4146 Via Gt Gaddesden toward Leighton Buzzard. Then i will stay on the 4146 towards Bletchley, take the ring road round bletchley and join the A509 towards Olney then Lavendon then Harrold then Odell then Sharnbrook As a previous poster warned - Watch out for bends between Odell & Sharnbrook that are tighter than they look at first and the fields are very unforgiving - I have not ridden this section before so will take it easy. We will be 1 black 1098 S with gold wheels, i black 1100 Evo monster and 1 white 696 Monster with a girl riding it. Looking forward to meeting some of you and having a chin wag and perv at all the things i want to work hard for!!!!
Seems like a plan to me see you 10am at McDs Mark (Soup) has said he knows a good route in to Sharnbrook away from the A6 so we should arrive at the show with smiles on our faces :smile:
Thanks all! Will see you all on Sunday! I am slow though ( unless I'm on a track) so apologies in advance!
Theres is no rush mate. I got 3 bikes coming with my wife on one and a mate, would be an expensive day for me if the ended up in the hedge!!!:wink: It will be a twisty bimble with the odd open up, no hero stuff! Love my track days, i used to do far to many but i have not done one since i rode from London to Australia.
Yeah we used to tell people we where just popping over my wife's parents for a sunday roast!! ;-) There is a blog here is anyone fancys it. I suggest you get a cuppa and a pack of choc biscuits!! ;-) Was a life changing experience. www.jamesandcat.com
hi mate. Will be at the Dome at 09:00, and will also read your blog. Sounds like it was an experience!!... Looking forward to the meet tomorrow. Will bring my camera!
Hi Steve I'm leaving Grantham about 8:30, across to Melton then the Melton TT to meet you at Mac D's about 9:15. If I see any one on route I'll wave. Mark
The route if not meeting at Mac d's is down the A6 to the A14 then east to the A605 to Peterborough then B662 to Clopton this turns into the B660 at the T junction turn right on the B645 which then takes you back to the A6 turn left towards Sharnbrook. Mark Ps Watch out for the hump bridge as you turn off the A605! Both wheels one day, I still have the stains :redface:
Ride safe guys. Is there a planned meeting place/flag/time for the people on this thread to meet. Would be good to get a coffee together. :smile: I coming with a few others, most on Italian exotica and just one loopy italian.
I am coming along to this, but will make my own way there and am not yet sure of timing. If you see a 6'2" Bradley Cooper look a like, ignore him and come and say hi to the big guy in the Dianese kit and a Panigale.
Great to meet a few folk today, Rixxy, PaulK and several others. Damned hot in my leathers though. Great solo ride there and back too. Despite getting lost both ways, I found some great roads. A good day.
Fantastic day! Radiohead, Bodthedog, Pikes Peak and others who i met. Not a bad ride up and a good improvised ride back taking in the 413 and the ride to Wing and then back to mars worth and back Via the 4146. Some stunning bikes and cars, hope to see you guys again soon!!
