View Full Version : Poole Quay 2010 - every Tuesday night from April to September
Heads up guys and gals.
Poole quay kicks off again on 6th April
Clicky-dicky (http://www.pooletourism.com/go.php?structureID=pages&ref=I483AD732671B0)
For those that have not been, get down there from about 6:30 onwards - too much later and you might end up in the overflow carpark which is a bit of a trek.
Good opportunity to talk boll0x, eat chips and take the p!ss.
A few of us usually meet at Rownhams services (M27 westbound) at about 5:30ish and then head on down there - watch this thread for updates...
6th April - I'll be there!

I'll be there as usual :-)
Yeah why not, but with a month's notice I might forget. :D
Nice one Matt
me and the other half will prob pop down now and then on our bikes.
I'll be there. Wednesday right..? ;)
Just got my armband today (£6.00 for the season).
Does anybody else go from Wilts area ???
G
i always wondered if you could park in the overflow for free because there is never anyone there to check tickets, not that im bothered but that is how it seems.
Just got my armband today (£6.00 for the season).
6 quid..? That's a 20% increase. Bloody inflation.
lol, where did you get the armband from?

A mate got it from Poole Quay Tourist Information, he said they didn't have a lot left on Sat.
Not sure if you can get them on line or not.
It's only a quid on the night, but saves fiddling through your pockets in a que
tell me about might pop down 2morrow.

Went down last year, didn't really rate it that much, always enjoyed smaller meets at local pubs etc more. Might give it another chance this year though :smt003

Agreed there's not a lot happening there and there is always a big que to eat, but it's a nice road down there and if the sun is out (OK maybe not in April) I like just strolling about looking at the bikes, eating my chips and watching the seagulls :)
We usually stop off at the Esso garage in Shaftesbury on the way back for a coffee, warm up and natter.
First one tomorrow. Anyone up for it?
i will probably be there mate.
blinkig heck that came round quick

Hopefully be there, on own as Chris will be in London. Weather don't look promising though??

I'm meeting some people at Rownhams services at 5:30, but as you are coming from Bournemouth...? Dunno. Meet you there I guess. I'll call you when I arrive.

Amanda,
When you get to know me better you will realise that I have no sense of direction. Asking me questions like this is completely pointless as I have no idea where I am most of the time.
Hahahaha - right I'm leaving at 6pm and I live 10 mins away. See ya there x

Hey I'm never late, honest. When I'm with Chris its another matter, he is late for everything. I was on my bike ready to go at 11.15 on Sunday and he was still faffing around on the phone.
Also up for a bimble on Saturday if anyone is interested.
yea i am
Errrr......anyone else up for a ride on Saturday?
I will be down the quay tonight so will say hi if i see any of ya
I can do Saturday, not sure about Chris he may be working.
I need to sort out another babysitter for tonight or I can't come :(

The husband of one of the girls I work with is a traffic copper with Hampshire Police.
He has advised me to 'take it easy' on a Tuesday night as there 'may be' specific operations taking place this year whilst Poole Quay is on.
Whilst I know that no one would ever deliberately break the speed limit, you might want to be extra careful - or not ;)

I'll be there give me a txt when ur sown there wb.
Well I gotta drop kids off at 5pm so should be there for 5.30pm no worries, although I will have to go up and round to the westbound!!!
Wideboy
13-04-10, 01:13 PM
Airport junction then thats my one, all i can say is bw prepared to filter coming back up to join west bound, its a nightmare
will do j
See you at Rownhams.
Amanda - don't go up the M3; either direction :D
Nope I'll stay on the M27 and change direction on the airport roundabout
Stay on the M27 and take J5 - it's the first one after the M3 and less hassle. Although as Frilly Britches says, it gets busy so you may have to filter.
Middle lane when you rejoin the M27 - BTW
That's comign from your direction too...
Better get my @rse in the shower then ....

13-04-10, 09:16 PM
that rounderbout coming off the dual carrage way heading for gravel hill... i felt like having a bit of fun so dropped low round the rounderbout then as i cranked over to the left i spotted 2 bike plods on the other side of the road giving me evils :oops:
thought i got away with it but a few seconds afterwards saw two headlights coming up behind us......... they must of thought they were being covert staying back at the lights ect but they stuck out like a sore thumb so they ended up just following as we behaved
the place is getting ridiculously over policed, i technically wasnt doing anything wrong i wasnt speeding or having my knee down.... plebs
DOH!!! I told you thats Gravel Hill Police Station right there. They had probably just come out of the station and "Bam" theres Gavin, wicked lets get him....... LOL
Wideboy
13-04-10, 09:20 PM
nay it was the bit before the skate park
OOOOhhh right, soz!! but yeah bike night does bring them out. How far did they follow you??
Wideboy
13-04-10, 09:23 PM
right they way out to the the bypass :rolleyes:
Hmmm - Not to worry, no-one got pulled.
Haha, no worries mate. Was quite amusing that they stopped under a street light when they were holding back at the lights. Nicely illuminated their fluorescent bikes for me to see :)
Wideboy
14-04-10, 04:59 PM
lol that's why i turned round to you and slapped my wrist :D
i was hoping you two had spotted them and didn't think i was just being overly slow :D
i take it you where fending them off at the back rich?
YOU ... overly slow!!! Yeah right x

I'm not surprised. I have seen some truly f*cking stupid riding going on coming in and out of the Quay. Not around the key area itself, but on the main road in and out.
It gets a little bigger more popular each year, I am not suprised to see a few more plod down there.
Shame really but the minority spoil it for the majority dont they...

well the time we where there yesterday the only idiots we saw where the chavs on there scoots a crates but the police seemed to turn a blind eye to them even tho it was right in front of them at the gate
its just getting a bit tedious now, the past 2 years i've thought its been quite lapse i used to ride down and back by myself most of the time and hardly ever saw the police but this year seems to have been stepped up a few notches
i'll still go as i like the social side of it more than anything its good to bump into people you've not seen for a while, i'd rather just sit down with a pint and natter rather than look at the bikes

I bet it'll drop off after the first few weeks. I just think that they like to remind everybody that they are out and about keeping an eye on things.

ah yeah didn't think of that, i suppose they cant budget to have all those police there every week like they did yesterday
