Anyone out on 5/6th Sept?

I'm now no longer free "all" weekend... my boyfriends dad is coming up from Essex to stay with us... so I'll be out for a bit, but not the full 5-6hrs this ride looks like it'll take. Sob.

 

Sounds good might be able to come, what time at Ponderosa cafe, approximately

 

No

 

Can make Saturday but not Sunday plus living in North Wales the Pondarosa is just up the road for me
Word of warning though guys, the police and camera vans will be out in force over the weekend, they're having bit of a crackdown on motorcycles speeding due to lots of accidents :-(
If you let me know timings I'll meet you all at Pondarosa if that's ok?

 

ok so looks like I will have to put my standard plate and baffle back in on Saturday then
not sure what time we there yet Ritchie, but am sure Gary (Muffking) will be on here soon with some times as he is organising the ride/meet

 

I've put my baffles in but I'm not giving up my small plate and dark visor

 

Living dangerously Carl do want to meet up at mine on sat, then we meet the others a Bingham not sure on the timing yet?

 

Dark visors and exhausts ok but small number plates are a no no, saw a guy getting ticket at Pondarosa after police followed him there.
I'll wait to here from Gary then about timings and hope to see you all there Saturday :-D

 

Sorry for the delay guys, been away for our 1st anniversary. Will work out the timings 2mo.
Thanks for the heads up about number plate BTW

 

Here are the (rough) timings for saturday:-

A57/A1133 @Muffking, @Barstewardsquad - Leaving at 11:30am (or earlier if we're both there).

Fuel stop at Shell garage outside Bingham NG13 8AY @SimonRR, @Carl - Leaving at 12:00 (or earlier if Simon & Carl are both there).

Premier Inn, Uttoxeter ST14 5AA @Lozzy & maybe @fireblade_ro - Leaving at 12:45

Fuel stop at Esso, Whitchurch SY13 1JZ (Brim it, the next bit is a 107 mile round trip).

Ponderosa LL20 8DR @Ritchierich - I reckon on arriving around 2:30pm

 

I reckon even with the 79 mile trek round Gwynedd Forrest Park back to Esso at Whitchchurch we should all be back home in time for tea

 

Can do simon

 

I don't have a larger number plate so fingers crossed

 

Can you scoop me up instead at Premier Inn/ Burger King on the roundabout A50 outside Uttoxeter, it's about 27 miles further up A50 from the donnington point but easier for me to get there. I'll be there for 1230

Edited.
Stuck only 15 minutes on the arrival time as it's a 70 limit all the way.

 

Ok guys see you all Sat

 

I can't promise not to get you lost BTW

 

I have to drop the Ducati off at St Neots either on Friday or Saturday for its second year service next week.

Nice of you to think of me though mate but you are also forgetting one major issue ........... I've got old bones on an 1199, not the new cuddly 1299. The last time I did a couple of hundred miles on it in one day I couldn't even pull my boxers up on my own the next morning.

Maybe a bit of a shorter trip another day to Hunstanton for a chips and ice cream before the cold and wet weather sets in ? Hope you guys have fun though.
