I may well be there depending on weather don't mind getting wet going home but don't want to get wet going.
Weather in Poole 5th September (http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/dayforecast.asp?zipcode=Poole&day=5)
Looks glorious next week. Anyone......anyone.......anyone?
I'll say possibly
New job but I'm aiming to use the bike for work tomorrow. I'd go right from Costa Del Swindon so I'm a possible rather than probable. Would be good to do this one again.
Anyone else from Swindonesia (AKA donut city) or MOFOs going?

Brain dead this morning and used the car for work, had some stuff to bring in that would have got broken on the bike.
If I get out of work at a sensible time I'll be going from Nam (to get me bike). Route, well the A350 sounds OK.

Disaster!!!!! the Oyster Quay was closed, no 5 quid buffet :cry: :cry:
A few new bikes not seen before. Good to meet you Beenz, Squirrel Hunter and Viney, hope you had a safe ride home.
.
Just got home. A good nights rideout. Came back on the A338 the same as last time. It was good to meet you too tee jey. Good to catch up with scoobs, Viney, Fizz (who told me about a certain GSXR in Fowlers, just when I thought I was safe) and Liz and others. Always good to put a face to a name.
On the way down I think we passed mac99 going through Melksham, same new HG criuse suite and the zed thou.
Me n Squirrel Hunter got there a bit late around 7 ish after a good journey down and ended up parking in the overflow. A good night though.
Yes, that was me. I flashed, waved, did everything short of a standing on the pegs wheelie, and all I got in return was a generic nod . Poor forward observation skills I reckon.
Glad you had a good one.

Sorry I didn't give more than a nod :oops: , spirited filtering with some loon performing acrobatic triple flip full spin saddle leap on a bike hurtling towards me flashing it's lights had me a tad pre occupied with err staying on my bike :lol: :lol:
We pulled in and waited a few minutes to see if you wanted to join us, I guess a full windmill wave would have done it better than the err... nod :lol:
Well after 278miles i have been there and done that. Nice meeting up with Liz, fizz and the the gay icon that is Scoobs, TeeJay and Daughter and the other rabble, . However, i do hope that a complaint can be put it to the Quay when/if it opens that i traveled all that way for thier buffet, and they here closed...shocking!!
I will honestly say, that im not going to do it again in a hurry as i ache like hell today.

Cheers. I thought it was some guy fishing at first, then a scameravan, then some radom nutter!
Shame I'm not famous enough to be on there. Me and Beenz passed him going in looks as if he was only snapping them leaving, next time...

OK so we've got 2 more meets before the Quay closes down for Winter :( the forecast at present looks good, so who's going on Tuesday?
Let's hope the Oyster Quay has reopened, it's so much more civilised than munching chips whilest sat on the curb........ what? :drink:

when is the last meet this year is it the last tuesday of september?
if so, are there any plans for people to be there this coming tuesday (26th) it would be good to meet up with some of you fellow .org members,
fizzwheel
21-09-06, 12:59 PM
I believe next week 26th as you say is the last one this year.
I expect there will be a few of us going, but keep on eye on this thread as we are big wusses and we don't go if its raining :oops:
Jimmy2Feet
21-09-06, 01:04 PM
what!!! dont go if there is rain!!! lol
yeah i will do, if it is the last one this year i am well up 4 it as i really havn't been enough this year, plus it would be good to meet up with any of the guys from down this way that plan to go out on that "Tour of the Ancients" ride out as i am well up for it and would be good to meet some of the guys that are also going!
what is the normal plan when you lot go down, do u all meet up someware in particular? one of the pubs etc?
fizzwheel
21-09-06, 01:25 PM
We dont really have a set meet point, we all know each other and know each others bikes, so we normally sit around on the wall by the roundabout where the trikes park and wait for each other there.
Some of the guys that come from Southampton / Portsmouth direction meet somewhere on route and all ride in together, if you read back through this thread you'll see where the meet points are...
Normally we go into the Oyster Quay pub and stuff ourselves on the £5 all you can eat buffet, but its been shut for a while. So I dont know what the plan is since thats been shut.
Anyone heading up there on the 26th? I'll probably trek up with another mate on an SV. i'll either be in my Hein Hericke power ranger get up or just casuals depending on if there is to be any messing about afterwards.
Anyone that wants to meet up drop me a PM.

This week we raided Wetherspoons for their £3.99 Burger Chips & Beer option - bloody good it was too :wink:

21-09-06, 02:26 PM
right sounds like a plan and a half to me, when me and my m8s go up we normally get some fish and chips and sit on the wall by the rbout then head off for a pint someware, so sounds like a similar meet, but i will prob be on my own as most of my lot have gone back to uni etc now, but i will have a read back and defo be there if there is a turn out! see if people want to meet someware, i am from ringwood if anyone knows it so not a long ride for me and the peeps from southampton way will drive straight past me, so i will send out a few PM's and see what i can sort,
hope to c ya there!

Hi Jimmy 2" :lol: we meet at the west bound filling station (Burley) at the top of Poulner Hill A31 at about 6pm so from ringwood you could shoot up Poulner Hill, take the Burley exit, dive under the bridge and meet us there if you like.
See you there?
Do we need to book a big table in Wetherspoons this week?
.
Weather doesn't look good for Tuesday.
I'll be going if the weather perks up. I come from Portsmouth (but don't hold that against me), so I can meet at Ringwood if you like, then pick Teej et al at Burley.
