Meetup Location: Southwold Pier
Date & Time: 6th December 11:30am
See you all there!
Hi Guys,
Lets get a date sorted and an idea of numbers for a fish and chips meet up in Southwold this December!
I'm setting a deadline of the 19th November (2 weeks from now) for the poll so we can post up what is happening early enough to give people time to plan for it!
We can probably get some others on FB involved this year too, but we choose the date here :)
Let's make this one happen and with more than 2 people turning up!!

I'm a bit stuffed for dates this year, due to my weekend contract hours & the way Christmas Public Holidays fall.
So I'm only free one weekend :-(
Although if I work some more sunday hours in November, I may be able to do the 20th as an alternative
We had 3 bikes last year and even 2 Suzukis! (albeit only 1 SV :) )
Looking at the calendar the first weekend looks like my only option - once again I will be on the 125 as the Hornet is laid up ready for its small transformation over the winter :D
Definitely more than 3 bike's

What you doing!?!?

Yay!
Although Skip only counts as half a bike lol
Three of us splashed out from Ipswich !
Although Skip only counts as half a bike lol
:p Harsh but fair - its more 1/4 of a bike though lol :D

So it looks like Sunday 5th December is our date then!
Meet there for 11am ish?
We can arrange any meets for an earlier on meetup when en-route to Southwold if anyone wants to do that? I'll be heading from Norwich and can make the route a little more winding if that'll work for others?
We could sort out a little 1hr ride for after if the weather is forgiving maybe? Not sure on this though....thoughts?

Yep, 5th is good for me. Bikes going in for mot tomorrow.
I'd say 11.30 ish, as if ntecuk is riding from essex
If it's cold I'll have to use the car as my poor old knee is a killer.

See you all there!
Anyone wanting to meetup in Norwich or somewhere in between speak up!!
edit: changed to the 6th, mis read the poll, sorry guys
Scary to think that its only 2 weeks from yesterday! Hopefully nothing gets in the way of me coming - all clear currently...
How good are these fish and chips? Thinking for making a road trip to this if thats ok with you all?
Providing we are not under 10 feet of snow!!
It's more the route than the chips.
But it's a good cafe
Good but not cheap! Beans on toast is £5.95 if memory serves - but still at this time of year there are not many options!

Plus the excellent view out of the cafe window, the ride out is pants, depending on the weather

Hang the expense, its only once a year :D
Um I can find a fun route.
Then I can find a grear route to the red lodge Maypril meat run too.
Right thats me sold!
I will be coming from Kent if anyone wants to meet up on the way?
The 5th is a Saturday. Won't be able to make it as A-I'm working and B- the SV still has its intermittent fuel leak that I need to sort over the Chrimbo break. Going to try replacing the crimp connectors with jubilee clips of the fuel injection link pipe.
BMW is tucked up safely in the garage - taxed, insured and MOTd and test ridden for 40 miles - verdict so far is that we both love it! :D Will definitely bring it on Saturday :)

Sorry guys, the vote overwhelmingly was for the 6th (Sunday) but for some reason I read that as the 5th (5 votes....doh)
Everyone okay with Sunday the 6th? I suspect most went with the voted result and not my stupidity ;) I've updated the posts now to match the vote...we meet on the Sunday!
Just spoken to 'er indoors and she said Sunday is OK - weather looks pants both days so I guess it doesn't matter lol :)

Good man, now for Kenzie to agree he is coming! He always bails out the last minute, it's time he turned up!
As for the weather you need some severe conditions to test your new vehicle!

Its always early December, lets pick a date for 2016, lets say the 4th or 5th December.
Yeah but nobody had put up any dates. Got too much going on between now and chrimbo. Get dates up the start of Nov. (I see you did but missed it)

Come on Kenzie, get your priorities straight, it's now on a Sunday....Saturday you can get your shopping sorted (do it online like anyone else if you have to!)

Weather is looking alright considering the time of year
Anyone coming from the Norwich area that want's to meet up on Sunday before heading onto Southwold let me know!
maviczap
04-12-15, 08:53 AM
Its ok, hopefully dryish. I'll be doing a straight run from Tesco's at Martlesham again, as the back roads are awash with leaf debris & slippery as a bannna skin on ice
The weather looks like its settling down wind wise. I am coming.
Mav I can meet you at that Tescos if you would like? Just name your time!
I also need to be heading home around 2ish. Not that I need chaperone. I've been North before !! :D
There's a few Road works going on in Ipswich guy. Check your route before setting out ;)

Choo, yep no problem. 10:30 - 10:45 at Tesco's Martlesham will give us plenty of time.
When you get there, park up at the start of the first car parking bay in the car park, not like NTECUK did, and go into the CP. We nearly left without him last year :-)
Its a bit of a dull route, straight there & back, but the back roads aren't nice at the moment.
2 ish will be fine, we'll be done by then & all wanting to head home

Will do. Look out for old man RT!!

That'll teach you to do it online next year.
Well another successful fish & chip ride, nice dry roads, windy coming back, I would have like to have done a bit more back road riding rather than the A12 & A14, but who can tell what the weathers going to be like.
Anyway the BMW owners club turned out in force

Maybe a new venue next year, as the prices are sky high & the portions are getting smaller :pale:
kaivalagi
06-12-15, 03:50 PM
yeah, each year a new venue wouldn't be so bad, north norfolk coast has a fair few options....Hunstanton, Wells, Sheringham, Cromer, Walcott to name a few
Home after 223 miles (round trip) Roads were dry wind not bad.
Nice chippy, Cheers for setting it up and Mav for the route finder.
:D
Nice day even if a bit windy.

:D
Thanks for making the effort, we'll have to start poking a few people with a sharp stick to make it a larger turn out :p
I was considering coming but the wind put me off. As I ride a naked, I am affected more by winds. I was riding in crosswinds on Thursday and it was not nice.
maviczap
06-12-15, 04:34 PM
It wasn't too bad, maybe next time
More holes for the wind to go through.
Tiger's sort of naked and there were two of them.
After all you can't get a SV ride out without the triumph owners group lol.
Hunstanton would be good, maybe Cromer.
Nice to see you all again and you Ch00 for the first time - cheers for the cable tie :)
Really enjoyable ride there and some of the way back - took a quick route back to Norwich that was almost arrow straight *yawn* - still, it was great to be out on what felt like a proper ride out at this time of year! :D
For those further down, how about Southend?

Sarfend ain't posh enough.
There's other chip shop's and greasy spoons just round the corner from the pier.
