8th Feb BigDs shutdown auction
 

So, its going to close on Sunday 8th Feb. Weather permitting I wondered just how many of you peeps may be able to meet up down there?
I'm going to try and make it as a couple of our friends have shown interest.

Re: 8th Feb BigDs shutdown auction
 

I should be going down with a mate to have a look and a last brew. :(

What time do you plan on going there?

I know it will close for the last time at 16:00hrs but what time does it open? as i might get down there early so there is somewhere to park as i think this will be a very busy day.

Do you fancy going halves on the big allien. the new SV mascot :cheers:.

Would've liked to have been there & met a few folks,but bikeless at the moment(winter storage) not back on road til 6/7 march:(.

Re: 8th Feb BigDs shutdown auction
 

lol we were gonna buy it fer us mate, so he could scare the chavs away from his garage:mrgreen:

in fact scrap that I could do with it to scare away the ones riding pitbikes in the field behind us:p Would be grand that looking over my shed, and bushes....could even rig it up to fire lazers out of its eyes...mwhahahahaa

Dunno about the times yet. Thought I'd just throw it to you guys and see how much interest there was. See if the weather were nice enough could have a blat over Nont Saras and Barkisland. wouldn't do it on a dodgy day as its lethal up there at this time o year.
Rode out that way today, there were two in the D's car park. Twas a bit greasy ont roads up Littleborough. There was a scamera van parked up coming down from Blackstone Edge, and too many sheep.:smt072

Re: 8th Feb BigDs shutdown auction
 

I hope it is a nice day then. :D

I look forward to it. Never been over that way before and would be good to get to know some new roads.

Lets get some timings sorted out.

What about a ride in the morning and then Big D's after for a brew.

Am i actually going to meet some of you guys at last. :cheers:

Re: 8th Feb BigDs shutdown auction

Re: 8th Feb BigDs shutdown auction
 

well come over just the once then. You might see all of us too :-)

Re: 8th Feb BigDs shutdown auction
 

Sounds good would love to come if invited? Get to meet a few of you as well,will be first time at big d's as well i'm ashamed to say!:oops:

Re: 8th Feb BigDs shutdown auction
 

more the merrier, not very often theres opportunity for those that are based this way to meet up all at once

Re: 8th Feb BigDs shutdown auction
 

I'll try and make it.

The CB should be back on the road by then. It all depends on how sloshed I get the night before though (my dad's birthday party).

Re: 8th Feb BigDs shutdown auction
 

YAY, I would love to see you there, as your going to washington on the Hardy Rideout weekend

Re: 8th Feb BigDs shutdown auction
 

Where is big D's?

Re: 8th Feb BigDs shutdown auction
 

boink... roughly speaking. Look for the alien in the car park, the tractors all around it and the local traffic warden hanging by the feet from the new speed camera :p

Re: 8th Feb BigDs shutdown auction
 

et voila....look for this dude!!!

Re: 8th Feb BigDs shutdown auction
 

:( Not looking to good for sunday is it. :(

Re: 8th Feb BigDs shutdown auction
 

I will be there if the weather is good enough. No more Big D's :(

Re: 8th Feb BigDs shutdown auction
 

hmmmm I'm thinking that this ones going to be awkward to attend. If its going to carry on snowing on Thursday like predicted, well I certainly won't be going....bummer.

Re: 8th Feb BigDs shutdown auction
 

Agree with you db was looking forward to it as well.
Hopefully the weather people have got it wrong and it's going to be lovely on Sunday![-o<

Re: 8th Feb BigDs shutdown auction
 

Its not that if the weathers fine I'll get out on the road.The prob here is that if the snow stays on the back garden i can't get out at all. Have to go through three gardens just to get to the road........and i really aren't shovlin all that lot first!

Re: 8th Feb BigDs shutdown auction
 

It will be worth shovlin all that snow just to come and meet me.
You know it makes sense!! he he.;)

Re: 8th Feb BigDs shutdown auction
 

gutted D's is going - a nice brew is always good after coming down off Blackstone Edge.

I hope someone can rescue it in some way & open it up again

Re: 8th Feb BigDs shutdown auction
 

Are they auctioning the alien? Anyone got some bungee straps?

Re: 8th Feb BigDs shutdown auction
 

yes they are auctioning the alien. Along with all the bike memorobilia and the bikes in glass cases

Re: 8th Feb BigDs shutdown auction
 

I wouldnt mind that alien......... hmmm

:)

Just imagine how happy our lass would be if i got her that for vday. I could be onto a winner :)

Re: 8th Feb BigDs shutdown auction
 

So is anyone going tomorrow :confused::confused:.

Dizzy what's the weather like down that way at the moment.

If it's not to bad i think i will make an effort to get there, i might even go in the cage if it is to bad.

If your going what time will you be there at ????

Hopefully see some of you tomorrow. :p

Re: 8th Feb BigDs shutdown auction
 

i'm not going newts, had my fill of snow and ice this week. guess who were stuck in exeter yesterday on a job. fresh start next week me thinks.

Re: 8th Feb BigDs shutdown auction
 

I'm not going Newts. I can't get the bike out if i tried. I've pretty much got the same snow here as there was when it layed it. Its not gone anywhere, tried digging the garden out, but gave up, and the others are still full too. Its lethal out on the pavements...which makes me wonder if Ds managed to clear their carpark.
The roads here are pretty clear, I'd imagine they would be down there, but its the doolaallyvalley, and its a cold one at that.


Sorry..I really would have liked to go, but I think I'll stay in the warm instead :-) :-(

Re: 8th Feb BigDs shutdown auction
 

stopped off there for a brew your bike was there had a brew and a look around but to cold to stop for long
