Tuesday night meet (21st) - Fleur De Lis , Stokenchurch

[StreetHawk]

Thought I'd start the ball rolling for the next 'social' meet..

What does everyone reckon to meeting at the Fleur De Lis in Stokenchurch?
See here for location - Fleur De Lis (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?hl=en&near=Oxford&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=115669899618350402779.000437a50d071332bccf5&ll=51.57707,-0.840454&spn=0.831246,1.996765&z=9&om=1)

It's a nice little ride there for all of us and there is lots of parking but not sure about tables outside but doesn't really matter with our great British weather!

Meeting time is flexible but I reckon 7.30-8pm..

Who's in?

PS - Can someone show me how to storten a link and give it a name?

[Stig]

:grin:

[ASM-Forever]

Its a no for me. Wednesday is the only day i have an exam that requires any revision. Thus i will have my head buried in an accts book on Tuesday :)

[SDMF]

I should be able to make this meet...no promises yet though.

[stevehaskew]

I think I should be good for that. I'll update nearer the time! Anyone want to ride out from Reading area? Or... people riding in from London way if I came straight from work...

[Stig]

Yup. I'll be in Reading so I'll meet up with you. :thumbsup: You can show me the way there :wink:

[SDMF]

I'll be riding from Reading way...

[StreetHawk]

Can you pick me up on the way??

[SDMF]

Does any of us really know where it is yet? Other than north of henley, other side of the M40..
Could possibly meet you up in the Henley area Nick?

[StreetHawk]

I know where it is... If you lot are going through Henley then i'll meet you there.

[philbut]

I'm in! Warthog will still be in Italy, but I'll keep the flag flying for Oxford. I'll inform the missiz today so I don't get fireworks.:smt079

[KnightRider]

I should be able to make it on Tuesday with the usual caviats:

1. My girlfriend reserves the right to throw a tantrum and forbid me to attend
2. I will be late cause I work in the the East of London
3. I am allowed to completely ignore all instructions when group riding and get everyone behind me completely and utterly lost

Hope to see you all there!

You are not alone fella - I feel your pain!

[ASM-Forever]

Not only is thsi the first place i can easily find, but there are some decent roads there from Marlow(assuming they have finished the resurfacing)

Of course boreing people could use the M40 :)

[KnightRider]

Guess I'm the boring one then...

[Stig]

I've added a poll. If you only knew the roundabout way I had to do that to get a poll added. :roll: Anyway poll added.

Who ever wishes to start another thread in regards to who is going to attend, be it a Tuesday meet or a ride, how about adding a poll :?:

[fat_brstd]

hey guys im up for this as im only in high wycombe, had a quick google for the name of the pub and came up with:

FLEUR DE LIS - PUB - Junction 5 M40
OXFORD ROAD, STOKENCHURCH, BUCKINGHAMSHIRE. HP14 3TZ
Tel: 01494 482269

Im guessing this is the correct one and it seems pretty easy to get to. Is this going to be a ride out or more of a social thing?

Also i know its probably bad but i dont have an sv anymore, got a tls but its still a twin and its still a suzuki so im guessing thats cool with everyone. If anyone wants my mobiles number inorder to get in contact with me prior to this then pm me.

cheers guys and see you there i guess

Yep thats the right pub. :smt045

It will be a social meet. Small chance of a ride, but realistically by the time everyone is there you've lost the light!

Half of us dont have SV's anyway so thats no issue at all.

It may be worth PM'ing someone sensible like ape you number.

[Mr Toad]

If I was on the bike I'd pop along and say hello as I'm working in High Wycombe at the moment. However as I'm still on crutches I'll save it for when I'm able to get back on the bike

Did someone say BigApe was sensible :shock:

:wink:

[ASM-Forever]

:wink:

He is in comparison to the rest of us :cool:

That's what I thought. Someone has been spreading malicious rumours again.

Right then, I WILL be there, I will also more than likely be there early. I am err sick tomorrow :wink:

So if anyone wants to take my mobile they are more than welcome.

See you all tomorrow. :thumbsup:

[StreetHawk]

I'll defo be there.. Anyone coming from Reading want to meet in Henley?

I know a nice route from there :-)

.

[Stig]

I'm travelling in from Newbury tomorrow so will be going a different route. Have PM'd you Nick.

[stevehaskew]

I'm hopefully coming, but not sure what time. Plus I might bring a friend! So yeah, maybe see you there. Not happy about the weather forecast though :(

[Stig]

The more the merrier. :cool:

Checking the Metcheck website this morning it is showing an overcast but dry day. So fingers crossed.

I shall be there regardless of the weather so hope it's going to be kind to me. :lol:

Ditto. I got rained on this morning though :(. I love Goretex (or whatever brand of water resistant stuff is in my gear)

[KnightRider]

I should be there tonight. Will try and push off as early as possible so that I can get there in decent time!

[Stig]

It's still not looking pretty out there, but still hasn't rained. So good news so far. ;)

[StreetHawk]

My bike disolves on contact with rain but as long as it's not actually raining then i'll be there :-)

[Stig]

My bike dissolves on contact with the ground. I keep doing it to see if that rule has changed but as yet status quo. :lol:

[philbut]

You can always come in the car. blasphemy I know, sorry.

[StreetHawk]

True.. But I want to ride my bike! :p Need to get the Yoshi pipe red hot so it's seals itself and stops bloody leaking!

[SDMF]

BigApe, what time you riding up? Unles it's tanking down with rain, I'll be meeting Nick in Henley at 7, if you want to come up then too?

[StreetHawk]

For everyone going tonight...

The Fleur De Lis is set back off the road opposite the Kings Head Hotel along the A40.. :-)

[ASM-Forever]

After a bit of head scratching i have come to the conclusion that this revision lark is a trick and has no bearing on exams.

Therefore im tempted to come tonight providing the weather is decent. I wont hang around forver as i want to be in bed at a reasonable time.

Im gonna do a bit of revision now and i'll post again if im coming.

I'll meet James/Nick in Henley if i do :)

[Stig]

BigApe, what time you riding up? Unles it's tanking down with rain, I'll be meeting Nick in Henley at 7, if you want to come up then too?

I'm going to be there by 6 as I am meeting Mr Toad. So see you there. :thumleft:

[SDMF]

Catherine Wheel, 7:00 is when we should be meeting in Henley...

[SDMF]

I'm going to be there by 6 as I am meeting Mr Toad. So see you there. :thumleft:

OK, see you there then.

[stevehaskew]

I won't be there as early as you guys, by the sound of it. I'll be back from work at 6:30 and then meeting my friend and riding up sometime after 7. Probably get there between 7:30 and 8. Hopefully see you there.

[ASM-Forever]

Catherine Wheel, 7:00 is when we should be meeting in Henley...

I've decided i am coming (unless a weather front has stealthed in :p)

I'll see you guys in Henley@ 7PM

I assume in the few months i havn't had a night out there, that the Catherine Wheel hasn't moved! I plan on being next to the church, near the bridge.

If your in the wrong place, you should be able to hear Nick with his new Yoshi fitted!

Havn't you heard..hes bought a lemon...it won't seal. ;)

Muhahahahaha :smt077

[SDMF]

Muhahahahaha :smt077

Could that not be poor fitting skills too on Nicks behalf? lol. ;)

[ASM-Forever]

Its a distinct possibility!

That said mine is standard, so i'm not really in any position to point fingers :)

[SDMF]

Yeah, you really need to get round to changing it.

[StreetHawk]

My thoughts exactly! I rather have my leaky lemon than an industrial sized waste disposal tube! :p

[StreetHawk]

ASM - My route goes from Henley to Marlow to Stokenchurch if you want to meet us in Marlow? Up to you.....

[SDMF]

See you at 7 Nick.

[StreetHawk]

Good turnout last night & nice to meet several new faces.. :-)

[stevehaskew]

Yeah, was good. I got a bit wet on the way home, but I only found one manhole cover, so that was ok. Everyone else get home ok?

[StreetHawk]

Just about.. I normally wear glasses for night time driving, so with the combination of wet visor and it being dark, I couldn't see a thing.. Had to follow the car in fronts lights!

Must get some contact lenses sorted!

[philbut]

got home fine. Was cool to see everyone. Had a bit of a fright on the motorway when the connection to my headlight came loose at 90mph and plunged me into darkness! Will be getting my wire crimps out this evening me thinks!:smt103

[fat_brstd]

well i got home fine except for the fact i was tailed by a copper the whole way to my door which kind of stopped my fun. I caught up with him about a mile from the pub and he pulled over to let me passed before gunning it and sitting on my ass the whole time. Its really hard trying to keep the noise down in the little towns when you cant go faster than 30.

It was nice to meet everyone and i had fun but next time we have to go for a ride, a bit of rain never hurt anyone.

[ASM-Forever]

My decision to leave early is vindicated....i didnt get wet and i could see where i was going. No cops for me either :)

I actually did very little revision as i couldn't be assed by the time i got home...but i kaned the exam anyhow.

like any of us actually thought you'd get any revision done! Revising in bed hmmmmm, yeah right. Glad you got that over with anyway. We want to see your results sheet at the next pub meet!

[ASM-Forever]

You'll be lucky....my uni is less efficient than the NHS.

I'll have graduated before i get my marks :)

[Stig]

I got home just fine too. I am also thinking that I probably had the most fun. B roads all the way home, no street lights, raining, gravel and blind bends. :cool:

Adrian, you telling me that you can't, for one night in 14, not go for a ride but sit and chat instead :?: :rolleyes:

I thought it was good. Good to put faces to names. You know how you build a mental picture of people you have never met? ASM, exactly the same as my mental picture. Now is that a compliment or not. :scratch: :lol:

All that means is that i met(or perhaps surpassed?) your high expectations. :cool:

On a similar note my 'mental picture' of you was slightly off.....your face is less warped than your avatar led me to believe..............

Shame my sense of humour is also not so warped. However...

[fat_brstd]

I can do but not sober, im either drinking or riding but unfortunately doing one has a direct effect on my ability to do the other. On a side note is it possible that out of all of us there was not one ciggarette smoker?

[scifibloke]

Greetings to everyone. I was the bloke who turned up with Steve (the guy with the scar down his left arm, wearing a green T-Shirt). Just thought I'd say hello, dunno if this thread is still live, but as it contains the people who were there I thought it best to use. Nice to have met you all (briefly) I'm sure it wont be the last. Definitely will have to go for a "ride" with a few folk some time......

[StreetHawk]

Hello Steve.. Good to have another Thames Valleyer! We are a bit low on numbers at the mo..

[stevehaskew]

Lol, no, he was the guy who turned up *with* Steve (i.e. me). He didn't say in his post, but his name is Ben.

[StreetHawk]

:p I read too quick! Hello Ben :D

[Stig]

Hi Ben,

Give you general location to knightrider (Jon) and he'll add you to the locations map. :thumbsup:

Hope to see you at the next meet. :-)
