Default 8 ball diner, A12

Just thought i'd post up, i know its on the same night as the great bentley meet, but the 8 ball diner, which is northbound on hte a12 just outside witham (you can't really miss it, it has a great bit sign outside) has a bike meet every wednesday.

We're getting more people there, everyone's quite friendly, no police presence or showing off yet if anyone fancies popping down one evening. Bikes normally turn up from 7 ish, there's plenty of parking, and its generally quite a nice social evening.

I'm the only sv that's there parked by the door.

Its normally a fast ride, they were wary of me joining them at first as they didn't think i'd keep up (i think because i'm a girl mainly)
facebook link

This weekend they are meeting at the 8 ball at 9.30 to leave at 10.00, and apparently going to the sea side. I'm not going due to a christening in surrey however

and tony challis posts the events for the runs. They are also doing a run what you brung day on the 19th june, which i can't do as i'm doing the london to brighton cycle.

Hongman, my first run with them was the great yarmouth run.

I went to the shakedown with tony, and dee (guy on the rizzla replica) obviously missed you. You can't miss me, i'm the short brunet lass normally wandering round with a neck scarf as a hair band.

The poor sv does seem to get left on the straights, but at least it keeps up in the corners
