Just wondering if any "Orgers" are doing the Brighton run on 14 Sept from The Ace Cafe departing at 10:30.

it is manic from the ace as I did it last year.
But so much fun just got to get there early otherwise you end parking very far away and at the back of the pack
If the weather is nice keep an eye out for the red and white gsxr

I tell you lot what, if its a nice day, me and maria will come down to brighton seafront to have a look at the bikes and meet a few of you. I think my dad might be doing this run with his mates on his GSXR, but I dunno, he got wound up last time because it was so busy

It was very busy last year but me and FG1 made it ok
Took us about 2 1/2 hours but if you just take it steady its fine.
There will always be the idiots out who undertake at speed and brush within a nats hair but once you are there it is great parking up on madera drive and looking at all of the other bikes
Be good to meet other orgers as well

If you fancy an alternate route, come down the A26. You'll come out at Newhaven; follow the A259 towards brighton. Might be less busy that way, I don't know.

Hey all,
I just might be able to make this one…….:bball:
Now this may come as a shock, destination Brighton ………….
Brighton I hear you say, is’nt that tony's route ha ha ha ah ha…
sorry but this was not arranged by me…

So now the big question is ANY Thames Valley’ers going ????? :smt017
Meet up at the shire or meet some where in the crowd.
Or among 2000+ riders not even meet anywhere…

I am leaving Wycombe to go up to the ace early (as long as it is dry) so to get a parking space near to the cafe
I think FG1 is going to come as well
If you fancy meeting up there to have a look at the bikes and join in the trip form the start give me a shout
That goes for anyone else too.

I might be up for this. If I can get the SV cleaned up before then it'd be a perfect place to advertise it for sale. If it's wet I might just not come.

What time you heading to the Ace Tony? (FG1)

yo people,
Just out of curiosity , does anyone know which route they will be taking ?
Presuming there may well be some learners on the ride……
So it may well be, A and B roads jaunt to the coast ………..
And maybe a quick blast on the motor way to get ahead of the crowd …
Alright,
so does everyone agree to meet at the café ??????? ……..
funny cos we’ll all be using the M40, A40 to get there…

i'll be going WET or DRY - but possibly leave Slough round 10.30h for slow ride round M25

The route they use is a40, M40, M25, M23, a23 to the sea front
Once you are in Brighton it gets pretty busy
Not many learners from what i can remember last year
A lot of people stop on the hard shoulder of the slip road on M25 to M23
Just watch out for them as it took me by suprise last year.
I will be sticking with the group on the route but will be having dinner in burger king i would expect before checking out the trade stalls

I'm going on this one (as long as it isn't pouring down). Am meeting a friend at the Ace and leaving from there.

It would be nice to meet up with some other .orgers

I'll be going to this seeing as its going to be nice sunday! If any .Orgers are meeting at boxhill let me know a time as i may blast up there first or its not much of a run seeing as i live in brighton (well Hove actually ;o). )

Both myself and Jerry (Sandman) should be there for about 08:30 onwards. We are aiming to park across the road on the path just up the slope from the bus stop.
Mine is a red faired K6 and his is a red/white/black GSXR.
Keep an eye out for us if you like. He might have a yellow "Quill Exhausts" jacket on and I should be dragging my 13yr old daughter with me.
