Jake, what way you heading down? Seems most are heading for Oakdene/Locksbottom itself so may just potter down the A28 from Ashford.

Ah well we won't be coming through Ashford (I live in Folkestone now..!) we'll be doing the Folkestone-Lympne-Rye-Hastings route..

Not arranging a time or anything as my Dad has to pop into work in the morning... we'll just potter on down there, park up in Hastings and if we meet anyone we know then all the better :thunbsup:

Mrs Wyrdness says Hastings was wet in the morning, but lovely and sunny in the afternoon, as we were up at the castle lying on the grass and drinking "Dave's Back Cider" from the beer tent.

looks like its going to be a wet 1!! but that wont put me off (the 6 hours i spent cleaning my bike might make a difference)

TSM 30-04-06 04:53 PM

Oakdene
Riverhead
Somewhere else?

lynw 30-04-06 06:18 PM

Unlikely to be there. Looks like chain & sprockets are just about done. :(

Viney 30-04-06 07:38 PM

Ah Sods law!! Rear puncture!!! Typical. Oh well, will be one bike with me as pilot and BBC as Pillion. Doris will have to miss this one out. Second time this has happened :(

it was fantastic! just spent Over 12 hours on my little sv!

went from chertsey (surrey) to couslsdon (and got wet) from there to biggin hill then on to locksbottom for the main ride to hastings! ponce about for a bit with the police takeing the pee out of my ears! then eventually to cambersands! then one long blast home! wow!

too many SV's eyeballed to list

also i hope the rider on the bandit was ok!! (Bandit V Pug 206)

Viney 01-05-06 06:47 PM

I just got back. Got to locksbottom for 9 this morning inthe rain. Thouht that it may be a wash out, but then it stopped raining and they started coming. (Parked outside the hospice shop if anyone wondered what sv it was. Sadly Doris, my sv was at home with a flat, so was two up on my better halfs bike. Anyhoo, had a wander round, waited for treacle to turn up. Went to get some brekkie from the wagon, to find that Bromley council had shut it down, because it was too close to the road!!!!! So onward. Trundled off down the the Pembury turn off then out through Tunbridge wells, down the 267 to the 272, a little bit of that, then on to the a22(Treacle was leading and got lost :lol:) Through bexhill, and onto hastings. It was verna's 1st mayday run, and she never stopped squeling all day at how many bikes there where. Left there and trundled back home via Rye, Appledore, Goudhurst/A21 to riverhead for food and drink, then home. All in all a great day, with some great company.

3 things that made me chuckle. Bloke pushing his Busa along in Tunbridge wells for some reason, a C90/ZX7RR combination, and the bloke pushing his Gixxer along the A21 on the way home.

Another happy mayday, and lets hope my SV is working next year.

Viney what sv were you on today. i was down at locksbottom wandering round taking a few pics. I got there about 9.15 and was suprised that there were not that many there but as soon as it stopped raining they all started to arrive. Didnt leave till 11

I could not bring my bike cos i had to take a cousin to the airport at 12 - totally gutted, looked like it was gonna be a good day :(

Next year nothing will stop me!!
