Hi From Staffordshire

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by MidlandsHyper, Aug 3, 2021.

  1. I’m happy with whatever but please, no funny handshakes…..
     
  2. I'm sound for August and Ivetsy Bank would be my first choice. I have a couple of Ducati riding mates that I can try to drag along.
    If you fancy a smaller meet there is a new bike night on Wednesdays at The Falcon in Woore, its just in Shropshire but the postcode is Crewe, CW3 9SE. Its only up the road about 7 miles for me but it might make a nice ride out for you chaps and it might help get it off the ground. ️️️️️️️️
     
  3. Woore is a bit of a trek for me - Ivetsy Bank is my preferred choice.
     
  4. Looks like it’s a casual suggestion from Lazzy not firm?
     
  5. Weather forecast for Thursday 12th and Thursday 19th looks good.
     
  6. How about we go for the 12th and if the weather is crap we postpone to the 17th.
    What time?
     
  7. 7pm? Somebody in this thread said that Bikers started to disperse around 8:30.

  8. Sounds like a great idea! I'd be up for that.
     
  9. Yes they do tend to meet up early 6pm ish but they’re starting to head back for Horlicks 8:30 from past experience. Also it’s Mondays not Thursday
     
  10. Thanks DucatiScud.

    I can’t make Monday 9th August. Also risk of rain late afternoon / early evening.

    How about The Bradford Arms, Ivetsey Bank on Monday 16th with Monday 23rd as a reserve date ?
     
  11. Fine by me it’s not far for me, I’ll go the longer way though following my old cycling training route. A5 is just too straight for my taste.

  12. Hi Lazzzydog,

    please note that the bike meet at the Bradford Arms, Ivetsey Bank is on a Monday and NOT a Thursday!

    I’ve suggested Monday 16th August with Monday 23rd as a reserve date.
     
  13. Well done Pike, I wondered who would be first to spot my deliberate mistake. :upyeah:(Cpt. Mainwairing/Dad's Army)

    Monday 16th is OK for me. Looking forward to it now.

    meeting around 7pm on Monday 16th August 2021.
    All being well I will be there so who else can make it on the night so that I'm not a Ducati riding Billy no mates?

  16. 3/ MidlandsHyper - will try and tempt my BMW riding neighbour to attend
     
  17. Has he the S1000r M package or the usual BMW?
     
  18. It’s a S1000XR in red, white and blue which denotes it’s loaded with extras. Not my cup of tea but each to their own.
     
  19. I kinda like the XR but not something I’d buy, each to his own be true.
     
  20. Mind you the S1000RR is an awesome bike but I bought the Hypermotard to avoid owning another super sports bike. Needed something more comfortable, less race focussed and fun to ride on uk roads.
