10am Red Lodge, quick natter and a brew.

10:30 Depart for the Fenman (near Downham Mkt) taking in some twisties.

Have a wander round the show, fill up on hot dogs/burgers then off to the coast for an ice cream, possibly Hunstanton or Wells.

Departing coast via the twisties, finish point TBC possibly one of the Transport Cafes around Norwich?

Stick ya name down

Must be some more takers out there, surely

@TA, if there are no more takers will it make sense to meet somewhere closer to our homes before heading to Downham Market way? Seems silly heading to Red Lodge if we're it...are the others joining in from North Norfolk way?

Also, after the coast (Hunny / Wells?) I might take a detour on the way home to Bircham Windmill to say hello to a fellow SMT owner I haven't seen in person yet who works/runs things there. He needs to talk about mods etc...it might be a nice spot to stop for a coffee and chat in the future anyway...could make another biker stop point

BTW, In Walcott the Kingfisher Cafe/Chippy is a biker meet up on Sunday's, bikes get parked in the front seating area outside...mostly old timers, nice mixed bunch though!

The others are going to meet us at the show, so yeah makes sense to move the meet point, where you thinking?

Sorry, I'm getting old, fell asleep on the sofa.....again.....

PM'ed

Just in case there are any last minute takers......

Meet point is now the McDonalds/BP station on the A47 near Swaffam.

10am.

@Kaivalagi - Nice ride today mate, looking forward to the next rideout!

Well folks, unfortunately today you missed a treat!

Not only a good ride but,

We met Grandad....... Apparently a well known member of several clubs and also a hero! This guy is 75 years old and happily thacking about on a 2010 R1!!!!

LEGEND!

[kaivalagi]

Yeah, was a good day out today, thanks for getting us all together for this TA, cheers

Plenty of miles and nice weather too. The Fenman show was packed, the riding was a blast and meeting grandad was the icing on the cake.



"Grandad" - that's what everyone calls him, he's 75 yrs old and still riding...an R1! 26K miles on this one (from new on a 60 plate), what a way to spend your retirement! Good going grandad

If grandad can find the muster to get his leg over and go for a ride why can't the rest of you lot! Pull your fingers out and meet up for the next ride...it would be good to have a properly attended EAR rideout atleast once this year lol
