View Full Version : This weekend

When and where? Once we've decided we can start a new thread with the correct day etc. Sat or sunday. Ideas were thrown out there to eat in the West Meon to sample their produce, plus more secret (shhhh) route planning is in order. Who's available when?
Not sure of this weekend yet but we need to get something set up for the flood of fresh names that have popped up over recent weeks. Not sure last weekends route would be a good intro to the group given the rather exciting mud and flood type conditions. I'll fire up a GM-Newbie thread and see how that pans out.

One possibility could be a bimble from 10ish, to return to West Meon by 1pm for lunch, and do the secret ride of death another day. Maybe noob friendly ride Sat with meal and possibly secret ride of slaughter on Sunday.

I can pop down Friday and do a ride Saturday;), working Sunday:(
i have one busy day and one free day for the weekend so cna od either day and will go with the majority. I'm not in need of a ride last like weekend, more than happy for a blast to Loomies, a meet up, a natter, meet any newbies, have a bite to eat at West Meon and head back.

I can do either but will be drinking Friday night so for a decent ride Sunday would be better for me.

Seeing as most of you have declared yourselves out, I'll not bother this weekend, also it seems my hotelier is off out on the **** Friday, so I'd probably be sat on the pavement all night waiting for him to get home!:(

That or you could have turned up at the pub. I don't go out till 9 anyway.

Although actually I may not be going out now.
Just been chatting with some of the people I normally drink with and it's going to be sparse on people there too.
Which is unusual.

Those little clips are a pain in the **** to be fair but it hardly breaks the bike, might just get a bit oily if you keep riding it! Bikes need petrol anyways:D

Aye that's what I'm hoping!! ;)
I up for a ride this weekend. Sat or sun is fine with me. Need to get Winder to stik some braids and heated grips on the bike (yes im a bit ghey and like warm finger) but think we should be able to do that the other day.

Though its an outright cheek for a newbie to suggest a date, I can't do this weekend. Would love to ride out next weekend.

It's an outrage. BURN HIM!!
To be honest now the snow's gone there will be ride-out's most weekends. The size and duration is usually dependent upon the weather and who is busy. In general if you want to go out and nobody's posted a thread. Post one, give a location and a time and more often than not a ride-out will appear. Or just take the approach that some take and just post up demanding someone else sets a time/place as that usually works too.
Most of ours start from Fleet, Basingstoke, Alton or Loomies because we all know how to get there and know some decent routes around. So for you a simple blat down the A3 and good to go.

It's rarely either or with us.
Also you're welcome to suggest a date, may I suggest Gav, he's very open to offers of dates.
So is the preferred day Saturday or Sunday?

Think I heard on the news Sunday is likely to be sleeting.
Wideboy
06-02-13, 10:00 PM
yes there seems to be a hefty amount of rain on sunday
Spank86
06-02-13, 10:06 PM
I'm not drinking now Friday (probably) and will be biking whatever as I have no choice.

i can pick you up homo

Cheers mate. I suppose you're used to picking up homos.

Laurie Cage! Like Jonny Cage, but his finishing move is staying at home.
Fallout
06-02-13, 10:12 PM
Btw, I aint going on no cage trip. Driving sucks. Would rather leave it for a day when we can bike, but obviously that's cool if you all go. If you can regurgitate some food into a doggy bag I'll try it later and give my opinion.
Wideboy
06-02-13, 10:14 PM
well make up your minds i have a very busy scheduled

You're such a gayer

Cheers dude! We'll keep an eye on the forecast next couple of days, see what's happening!

Is this still happening? Had a quick look through and it seems as though it's happening tomorrow if at all.
Matt-EUC
09-02-13, 09:53 PM
Bump?
Fallout
09-02-13, 09:55 PM
Think we're still meeting at the pub but in cages. So I am a tentative as I find cages most frustrating, especially when one has a noisy cambelt and the other one has dodgy brakes and ****es oil through the rings in cold weather.
Matt-EUC
09-02-13, 09:58 PM
To which pub are we referring?
Fallout
09-02-13, 10:01 PM
West Meon pub next to Loomies. It's where the AR is being hosted, so we're off to sample the produce.
Matt-EUC
09-02-13, 10:02 PM
Oh I see, what time? Thankfully I'm not working this Sunday so I can come out and meet you guys.
Fallout
09-02-13, 10:18 PM
12:30/1:00 is the ball park at the moment mate.

09-02-13, 10:21 PM
Awesome, thanks.

im picking spank up at 12 so will probably be there 10 past when i engage warp factor 6 in the panzer mobile

You should let Ad drive. It will be funny.
Matt-EUC
09-02-13, 10:48 PM
Is everybody coming in a cage?
Fallout
09-02-13, 10:50 PM
That sounds really wrong to my immature BDSM tainted brain.

no one drives my car except me, i dont even let Helen drive it, the one time i offered was because I'd drank a litre of jack daniels, i wasn't in the right frame of mind
im certainly not riding tomorrow its going to be ****ing it down
Matt-EUC
10-02-13, 12:08 AM
I think you should ride. For the amusement of those of us who have no choice.
Matt, don't panic. This is the first time I've seen cars suggested since the gm relaunch last spring. There will be a ride most weekends but even the gm are not daft enough to stand up a ride when it's chucking it down with a forecast of snow.
You also stand the risk of believing the pub talk of excellent riding and daring deeds leading to massive disappointment when you get to see Wideboy wobbling out of a carpark and Spank getting off to look round a bend before riding round it.
Spank86
10-02-13, 10:14 AM
I'll have you know I only stop after the bend to remove the fatal debris before you lot have to rid it!
(And half the time I'm back on my bike before most of you turn up anyway)
Wideboy
10-02-13, 10:48 AM
my problem is i keep forgetting to start moving before i take i take my feet off the ground
Matt-EUC
10-02-13, 04:51 PM
Just got back. My fingers are numb, I have frostbite on my neck, I feel as though I've been stabbed in both thighs, my socks weigh at least three kilos each, I poured seven gallons of water out of my boots, my toes have fallen off and my scrotum has shrunk down so much, my testis have combined into one big one.
So how was your trip back?
Spank86
10-02-13, 05:01 PM
Not took bad. Gav had the climate control a degree or two below what I would have preferred though.
Matt-EUC
10-02-13, 05:28 PM
Sort of replies I was expecting to be honest.
Considering the weather, and most of us caged it, it was a good meet and turn out. Things got sorted, the usual conversations took place and got a good result. Bring on the sunshine!
Fallout
10-02-13, 05:56 PM
I enjoyed caning it home on a much quieter road. Lots of fun aquaplaning and reaching limits of grip as low speeds. The cage redeemed itself, even if I did have to put £40 of diesel in it.
Matt, trousers outside ya boots in the rain!! Doh!
Matt-EUC
10-02-13, 06:55 PM
My boots claimed to be waterproof, they have a seal around the top too so water shouldn't really get in.

I think it's safe to say that all the GM enjoyed the pub and the people on surrounding tables got an education.
Management seemed happy with us though.
