too much of a treck for me just to get to the venue, its easyer for me to spend the day in wales.

I'm meant to be working, but it's in the school holidays, so I will take some time off.

Its not too far for me to ride there and back home, just to say Hi

Re: Who's going?
 
Is this thread and poll a bit too far away to the event to be of any real use?

I voted anyway but can't see it is going to give a true reflection of numbers on the actual day.

Thingus 26-02-09 05:20 PM

Re: Who's going?
 
17 replies, most of them from 3 people, ain't really a reflection of the true amount of attendees :p but it's all banter.

Re: Who's going?
 
I'm pretty much certain I'll be there. But you never know what's around the corner...

I think we had 75 ish bikes on the rideout, some had pillions, some did not. Some people attended but didnt ride on the rideout.

I reckon it has to be around the 100 mark.

Its worth making the effort, they are always cracking weekends.

lol I was going to say the same until I saw your location.
Reason I probably won't is my navigation skills are absolutely awful, me let loose on my own trying to find something miles away is a recipe for disaster. Only way I'll end up coming is if some other penine massivers do that I can share the ride down with or possibly if my experiments with phones with satnav and gaffa tape are a success.

None. The AR rideout is much more social so its run at a slower pace and it never covers a huge distance. Also every junction is marked so theres no need to rush for fear of getting left behind which also keeps the speed down to.

I'm sure someone from your area will be going and you can tag along with them. If your experiments work out, you could even lead the rest of the massive down. :D

Non the year I went (that I'm aware of) - which was AR07? I didn't hear of anyone coming off on AR08 either.

do you let slow fat CBRs come along? i can bribe people with my bike sat nav!!

plowsie 04-03-09 04:08 PM

Re: Who's going?
 
Maybe, maybe not, depends if I can still afford to go Switzerland, if I can't I'll be there. On a bike, just not sure what bike.

All are welcome, regardless of type of bike and experience of riding. Its more of a social event than a ride now.

And the fact that they let a slow fat me turn up in 07.

Bear 05-03-09 01:51 PM

Re: Who's going?
 
Can we make sure there are no token SVs doing the marking this year? I believe AR07 was led by a zx10 and mine was the only SV, and last year was led by a GSXR and Grinch was the only SV. Why don't we just admit that no one* still rides SVs and have done with it...

*At least no one of any importance...

keith_d 05-03-09 02:52 PM

Re: Who's going?
 
Are recent joiners allowed to tag along??

If I'm not on standby for work I'll try and show my face (and my SV) though I'll be somewhere near the back of the slow group.

Keith.

Yes, dont be shy about coming because you dont or might not know anybody, Because I guarantee it by the end of the weekend you will.

Re: Who's going?
