Bike meets – do you go to any?

As title … I don’t really go to bike meets … I am not sure I really see the point …

What counts as a bike meet?

Good point ...

A well known ‘regular’ event (as examples, ones I have heard of are Poole Quey, Ace Café, lord derby etc etc) ... not just going round your biking mates ...

Been to two at Knott End in the last two weeks. Going to start a night course in Japanese at local college in 3 weeks, so thats going out the window.

Point seems to be look at shiny bikes, and strike up conversations with complete strangers about whatever seems interesting at the time, including what flavour of ice cream to order.

If I wanted to look at shiny bikes, I'd go to my local dealership!!

If I wanted to strike up a conversation with a random person, it'd be with a bit of flange, not a hairy male biker!! ... 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!!

I've only ever bin out with SV's, but i suppose the Ponderosa classes as one but that was with the SV's lol.

what about weekend bike doo's?? they count?? lke bulldog bash, race meets.

ive got one coming up in september. balls doo.

no, i have not been to any, i normally end up in abergavenny most sundays, and porthcawl some wednesday nights, but i would not class these as "bike meets"

and dont like hanging about drinking tea for too long, as i would rather be riding

Not sure what goes on at the Bulldog Bash, but I'd say Race Meets don't count as you are not going there for going there's sake ...

Quite ... if I wanted to go out for a 'ride' I'd go out for a ride ... and I wouldn't go anywhere near a 'known' bike event as the roads in the local area are bound to be better policed?!?!?
