Weston Bike Night 2012

[Jayneflakes]

Yes folks, we have the dates for Bike Night 2012, as last year year I will be down there pretty much as often as I can with the radio station providing music and would love to meet any of you that do come. I am a bit shy though, so excuse me if I am quiet! :smt104

I look forward to seeing some of you again and meeting others too.

[federer]

Looking forward to this starting again. I am sure I shall see you there most weeks.

[dkid]

Awwww, you can come and join us, there is always the camp bed in with Alby if you need some where to stay! Balancing it on her perch is quite a feat though! :D

[DanSp]

Hopefully ill have a new job by then and will be able to come down most weeks! Be good to meet some of you guys! :D

[ImplodedHamster]

[TheOnlyNemesis]

[Jayneflakes]

You don't believe me? I am a proper book worm me, would not say boo to a goose! :study:

Don't forget folks, Bike Night is starting up in Weston at the beginning of May, we look forwards to seeing load of you down there. :D

[metalhead19]

You've bought a new bike?!

I finish work at 5....and even on the Daytona I think i would be abit late! Hopefully il make a few later in the year once I've finished my placement.

[Jayneflakes]

Don't forget to come and say hello to little old me all of you who turn up. I am not hard to spot, I tend to be in a tent, making lots of noise and have an owl nailed to my arm!

[Jayneflakes]

We are about two weeks away from the First Bike Night of 2012, I look forwards to seeing as many of you can find me.

So get polishing those SVs, we don't want to let the side down now, do we? :D

You can even have a go on the owl!

You always gets a hug in these parts, coz you and your wifey are just lovely! :cheers:

[TheOnlyNemesis]

Apparently it meant to ****ing rain for the next 3 weeks solid :-(

[Jayneflakes]

Bike Night starts next week, woo hoo... :D

See you down there! :-)

[Jayneflakes]

Just incase anyone has heard the rumour that Bike Night is going to be canceled for the first one of the year, it is not true. Tomorrow nights event will not happen on the grass due to poor weather, however it will be happening on the Prom, so see you there from six pm. You will know where I am, the noise will be obvious! Come and say hello to us and our Owl, Alby.

[TheOnlyNemesis]

See you at another one, gonna be a pansy and not ride in the rain if not absolutely needed

[Geodude]

Hope your first night goes well :)

[Jayneflakes]

See you at another one, gonna be a pansy and not ride in the rain if not absolutely needed

Not sure I am brave enough to call you a pansy! We plan to be there for the summer, so I am sure that we will see you guys soon. The ride back to Bristol when you are cold and wet is never a nice experience and I have done it far too many times. :(

Hope your first night goes well :)

Thank you, although we are looking at a rough start, I hurt my back yesterday and am not sure if I am going to be able to ride my bike down after all! :smt086


We will be blasting music though, even if I have to get a lift in the car. :salut:

[Jayneflakes]

Hey folks,

last night we had just over a thousand bikes at Bike Night, totally filling the beach lawns with both bikes and bikers. We also had a really cool band playing next to us which was fun and this will be happening several times through out the summer. While this is happening on the sea front, Scallys also have bands on and plenty of seating and bike parking outside too.

I am mentioning Scallys because they are supporting Bike Night again this year, the manager is donating a significant portion of the nights takings to the event too, which puts even more cash into the pot for the Royal British Legion.

So as always, there is plenty to do at Bike Night and it is all for a worthy cause. Last week Lyn the organiser was presented with an award by the Mayor of Weston that congratulated her for all of her good work in charity fund raising, Bike Night and bikers are being noticed and that can only be a good thing.

[Jayneflakes]

Just incase you wondered what you missed last night, have a couple of pics taken by the wife.

[Geodude]

[Jayneflakes]

:smt041

Yay, come and say hello, also if you do can you pop Carol's books back to her too?

[widepants]

oh poo , honestly forgot about them .They are in the kitchen cupboard , so will do

[TheOnlyNemesis]

This year is against me for bike nights. Moving house this Thursday so wont be there again, ffs.

[Jayneflakes]

The weather for tonights event is looking dreadful, but it will be going ahead anyway. Don't forget that Scallys also offer a live band and good food on Bike Night too.

Sadly, it is unlikely that I will be able to make it to this evenings event, but Carol and the BRR staff will be there as always. :D

[Jayneflakes]

Hey folks, just a little warning for those of you who travel into Weston for Bike Night, the Police have set up a mobile traffic camera that loiters about by Nuts and Bolts on Winterstoke Road, it seems that they are aiming to catch those of us who are enjoying the speed a little too much. Don't forget that each side of the road has a different speed limit (although why going past the scrap yard is 30MPH and past the school is 40MPH I will never understand!) and they are waiting just by the turn from one side to the other. Can't name my source, but if you come to Bike Night a lot, you will have seen the person who told me wandering about quite a lot!

Don't forget, every Thursday night on the sea front and at Scallys Pub are the places to be because we are raising money for the Royal British Legion, which in my view is a very worthy cause.

[Jayneflakes]

Tonight at Bikenight is Goldwing night! :smt078


Please you lovely SVers, come and keep me safe from these perverts, keep me safe from the sort of people who would ride a bike the size of a small car! :smt040

Yes, do come and say hello, we should be on the sea front from about six PM until Nine, however if it is pouring with rain, we may make a run to Scallys early.

Scallys will be serving Hog Roast and good beer as always and will have a band on too.

See you down there you beautiful people. :smt041

[Jayneflakes]

So it was a bit damp again last Thursday and we only had fifteen bikes turn up.

Which is a shame because it means that you all missed out on all of this!

So, do come and say hello soon. :D

[Geodude]

Haha one for the places ive been miserable methinks ;)

[Jayneflakes]

It looks like it is going to be wet again this week on the sea front, but don't let that stop you. We will be down there as usual, pumping out loud and proud tunes. Last week, I met a young lass who on her own, rescued, rebuilt and resprayed her Suzuki RG125. It was a rotting wreck of a bike, covered in rust and broken bits when she got it, after she finished it was lovely and worthy of comment. Her next bike she says is an SV and I look forwards to seeing what she does with one. So come on down folks and make her welcome to the SV club.

If the sea front is not to your liking, there is always Scallys who will be serving hot food such as the usual Hog Roast. Each week they have live music on and this week it is The Ray Jones Band.

So don't be shy, do come and say hello, ask for a music request (although the wife wont let me play Death or black metal because it scares the normal folks away!) or just have a cuddle with Alby the Barn Owl. See you there.

[TheOnlyNemesis]

Again, likely to miss it. Bike is sick of getting wet as am i. Will be down to say hello when the rain stops ****ing it down thuogh Jayne

[Jayneflakes]

This evening, the trophy for Bike of the Night was awarded so a Suzuki SV650, it was a mildly modified silver pointy and was in my opinion, well deserved!

Yes, it was my bike. :D

[Geodude]

[Jayneflakes]

Fix ;)

only 3 turned up

There ten people who turned up in total. Seven of them were in cars, one was the wife on her Kwak and the other was the Guy who rides a BMW R65. He came second! :smt044

[Jayneflakes]

Hey folks, this week Bike Night is being joined by Armed Forces Week so will be starting at one PM. Attractions include a few military vehicles, a lovely singer performing songs from the forties and of course us. Later on in the evening there will also be a rock band and the usual food and drink facilities.

Over at Scallies they will be serving the usual Hog Roast and will have a band in the evening too. If we are really lucky, the sun will even make an appearance, but I am not promising this! :D

[Jayneflakes]

Weston Bike Night will be going ahead, however we wont be there.

We are going here instead.

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/487813_3764856034259_681315862_n.jpg

See you next week! :cheers:

[Jayneflakes]

Sunny in Weston tonight, so come on down folks. Wifey will be with the crew, but I may stay in due to not enjoying the sunshine! It ruins my Goth credentials. ;-)

[granty92]

im gonna try come to one of these soon although im in bournemouth, i have family in bristol so can stay there :)

[Jayneflakes]

This week is looking like it is going to be super sunny and warm, so do come to Bike Night, please help support the very worthwhile cause that is the Royal British Legion and do please come and say hello to us lot on the Biker Rock radio stand.

See you there folks :D

[Jayneflakes]

It is gorgeous today, so I expect to see some SV riders down on the sea front this evening!

Over at Scallys, tonight's band is called Oblivion and they will be playing from about seven PM, so for those of you who don't want to go on the sea front and go there and support Bike Night instead.

[Electro]

When u next on the seafront Jayne?

[Geodude]

When u next on the seafront Jayne?
Oooer missus ;)

[Jayneflakes]

When u next on the seafront Jayne?

Oooer missus ;)

Ha haha, so rude! Good lob I love this place! :smt042

We are down for Bike NIght every Thursday and unless there is a band on, we are the noisiest bunch there! My bike is usually parked in front of the stall and we have an Owl with us aswell.

[Jayneflakes]

This Thursday is rather special for Bike Night, because Scallys have one of the best local bands in our area playing. :smt041

https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/394461_492903734072681_1652528259_n.jpg

I saw Gelgothen a little while ago and they play some sick and brutal death metal, so if you like bikes and you love Death Metal, come to Weston this Thursday. You will not be disappointed, I promise. :thumbsup:

[Jayneflakes]

Sad news to report folks, Bike Night is coming to an end very soon, with only four or five to go, depending on when you see this. ;)

If you have not yet made it over to Weston, do please come because we have had a pretty poor Summer season with lots of rain and hardly any bikes due to a lot of folks not wanting to get cold and wet or get their pride and joy filthy dirty. :smt009

As always, look out for traffic cops who have been setting up speed traps to catch naughty bikers who break the speed limits (if in doubt stick to thirty around town, just to be safe if you don't know the area too well), which none of us ever do because we are good boys and girls! :smt077

Anyway, if you do come down, do please come and say hello to us on the radio stand, you can't miss us, we are the noisy ones arguing over what makes a great song, fighting over who gets to put the next track on or laughing at Carol for having bad taste in songs! :roll:

See you there or at Scallys afterwards. Don't forget that Scallys provide food and a band every Thursday for Bike Night, which is jolly decent of them. :smt041

[Geodude]

Aww :( Why's it stopping JF?

[Jayneflakes]

Aww :( Why's it stopping JF?

We are coming to the end of the season G, it all ends in September until next year when we start again. This year has been very hard for us, the weather has been unkind and so we will not be close to the £11 000 we raised last year for the British Legion. :smt061

[Geodude]

Ahh doh! end of season (whens summer i must have missed it?) i misread the info, silly G :)

[Jayneflakes]

Hey folks, only four weeks to go and tomorrow looks like it is going to be gorgeous. Do please come and join us on the sea front and if it is one of our lot that arrives on that lovely pointy thou, do come and say hello. I seem to miss you every week!

Anyway, I hope to see some of you there. Come and say hello to Alby if you don't want to talk to me. :D

[widepants]

maybe because its because they see you first hun ;-)

[Jayneflakes]

maybe because its because they see you first hun ;-)

That is a bit harsh! Made me giggle though. :D

Anyway folks, it looks like a gorgeous evening tonight, why not head down the sea front and enjoy the event.

Widepants could even bring the wife's books back before she has him skinned! :safe:

[TheOnlyNemesis]

i was planning on finally getting down tonight but need to take bike apart now so can't make it.

[Jayneflakes]

Only two to go now, then it is all over until next year. At the last one, my bike has to be all clean and polished because it is Bike of the year, all of the bike of the night winners have to be gathered together and then the best of all of them is chosen. Time to get polishing! ;-)

Anyway, if you have been intending to come down, but have not made it yet, be quick. :D

[Jayneflakes]

This week sees the last Weston Bike Night of 2012, the year has passed so quickly and the weather has been wet and grim for a lot of it. If you have managed to attend even just one event, then thank you. Due to the bad weather and subsequent low turn out rate, the amount raised this year is going to be a lot lower than last years £11 000, but we hope that we will get a lot turning up this week to say good bye to the team until next year.

I hope to see you all soon and thanks for supporting Weston Bike Night and the Royal British Legion.

[Jayneflakes]

Right you lot, this is your last chance. Thursday 27th September is the last of the Bike Nights in Weston for 2012. after that, you will have to wait until 2013!

So come on down and enjoy the last one of the year. See you there. :D

[squirrel_hunter]

Well I can't make it down tomorrow even if my kit were dry. However I noticed that Kickstart Training sponsor it. They have a lot to answer for...

[Jayneflakes]

Well folks, that is it for 2012. Bike Night is over until next year and the organisers are off for a well earned break. It has been a damp and difficult summer, but we have still managed to raise over £8000 for the Royal British Legion and the Poppy Appeal. Coming up soon, we have the Poppy Launch so we will be down for that one too.

For those of you who came and supported the charity thank you very much, every pound raised is for a good cause and I have seen first hand what the Royal British Legion is doing for ex forces people.

For those of you who could not face the terrible weather, hopefully next year will be better. See you all in 2013. Thanks again folks. :D
