Good point ...

A well known ‘regular’ event (as examples, ones I have heard of are Poole Quey, Ace Cafι, 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!!

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?!?!?
