this area is dead.

Well I am pretty new on here.
Happy to travel a few miles for a brew, good company and an "off the van" quality burger (though I do need a couple of omeprazole afterwards these days)
Mind you, the weather has been particularly ****.
New SV is beginning to feel quite smooth now - though I wonder if it could do with another 30-50 hp.
Oh well, cheap insurance and improved survival chances!

Welcome DrewDrew

Well, you're a fair old way form Wiltshire, but I hail from the land of God so I am always up for going home for a meet. We used to go to meets at the Tredegar Arms near Caerphilly but since we lost the one member that was always on at us to make the effort, we have all gotten a bit lazy about it.

Still, I'm sure a brew and some good food could be organised if you ever did want to venture this way

How about Paignton every Wednesday evening from now till September - under BMAD Paignton.

wow, thats a fair way away.
perhaps the forum region is too big and should be split?

We've been through the splitting the section up before conversations and I dont want to split one big section and then create two or three smaller sections that then dont get used. The section covering a huge area isnt the problem, its the lack of people organising stuff that is.

It used to work, but as GG says, its was mainly due to one person organising things and setting up meets and then badgering the rest of us to turn up.

Somebody needs to put their c*ck on the block and organise a rideout or two and then things will start to get busier again.

I do keep posting about Weston Bike Night, but despite having lived down in Darkest Devon did not know about Paignton bike night. Let's get posting these events up, especially if they raise money for good causes. A couple of weeks ago when it was hot and sunny, (so even the pansys could ride!) we had 1030 bikes turn up on Weston Sea front, this week when it was a bit cold and rainy, we had 15!

Reminded me of this!

Not having a great sense of direction, I am pretty useless on ride outs, I even have to follow the wife if we go out around Weston half the time! However, I am sure that at some point I would love to do a ride out and meet more of you gorgeous folks, especially if there is a hog roast involved somewhere! I am not great at camping anymore due to worn out and damaged body parts, but I love riding my bike when I can.

right then...as a starting point , maybe we should try and arrange a meet at Weston Bike night for those close enough to make it.There are alot of new folks on here I have yet to meet.

I'd be up for that

I am there every week, whether I want to be there or not!

See you all there soon.
