Bike meets – do you go to any? - Page 2 - SV650.org

Don't go to any when I'm out for a ride by myself but if I'm out with my dad and his mates we usually go to one. The point is just somewhere to aim for on an evening, have a walk round then go home.

Bet your dealership doesn't have vintage Nortons and BSA's though. Or custom (partially) built trikes based on a 1.3 litre escort engine.

You have a lovely turn of phrase don't you young man.

... Lets face it the flange levels at a bike meet are going to be sparse ... and the ones that are - are probably there with their BF - or hairy munters!!

Vintage blue!

Seems to be an English "thing".

Like Morris dancing?

Must be because your overly populated , heavily policed roads make doing any actual riding of motorcycles less than satisfying. (...but if you don't know any better!)

I enjoy going to Abergavenny and watching folks with immaculate BMW GSs look at me like my bike has got some sort of plague.

Nope, don't really do the bike meet thing. Don't really get anything from it but the usual aggro I get from random strangers all the time. My neighbours who have bikes and I, we go for a ride and then have a pint in the local after the bikes are locked up and the leathers are put away. The only standing around we do, in bike gear, is while waiting to fill the bikes with go juice at the local pump palace.

I call in at Boxhill if I'm passing - on the way home in need of a brew/ pitstop - that count?

I use the term interchangeably with the word ‘pelt’, which I think is an even more fitting term!!
