Pedro Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I'm not one for bike meetings or social stuff, but given our different backgrounds it would be cool to meet for a proper meal and a drink or two. Obviously we are not in the ideal climate for planning get togethers but still, I'd be up for a meet in Pete's area. Ideally something like meeting in the morning, a snack, a short ride around, clean up and dinner. I suggest Pete's area because if this is game Pete's wife's presence is mandatory in my book, she's a great lady although not present on the internets. So, have at it.

Tym Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Well, if i got on my KLR and started riding, how many motors would i need to get there? lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 It's a great idea Pedro.......here's the things we've got to consider: 1. Who's coming and where they're travelling from? 2. How long virus restrictions are going to be in place? 3. What needs to be in place for Brits due to Brexit repercussions? Like possible visas, health cover, loss of mobile roaming etc. 4. Timing......late June to the end of August are out of the question due to the heat. December, January, and February should also be avoided due to variable Winter conditions. Unfortunately we can't plan anything at the moment.......because we could still have restrictions of sorts in place this time next year. Putting the idea out there to gauge interest is all we can do at the moment. In fact given our ages now......this could be the Last Dance! @Specs @boboneleg @Renegade @Catteeclan @DangerRuss58 @Skippy @Sir Fallsalot @Buckster @Sofia @Cupid Stunt @Muddy @yen_powell @Pedro @MooN @BusBoy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I hope you can show more photographic evidence of the next 50 years riding than you've managed over the previous 30+ years Ian! What you say @Tym?

Are you joking? Does he not have an airport? I'll fly in and rent an air conditioned car for the day. I'm done with trying to find pleasure through pain. Where are the nice hotels Pete?

Muddy Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Well that would be a mammoth schlepp for a 410cc thumper from here. Then there's the likelihood that I won't be allowed to travel since I won't be doing any 'new normal' hoop jumping nonsense that they're likely going to roll out soon, if I can avoid it. Fuck, I had to stop flying due to all the herding, shoe removing, and other 'turrist' prevention bollocks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should prove quite interesting. @Renegade can organise the party. Any decent hotels in Swansea? Fuck that!

Skippy Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I'd be up for that, great idea. Fuck knows what bike I'll have by then but if all else fails I'll come on the very comfy TL1000S 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckster Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 We should try to do this trip next year, those of us with bikes can meet along the way. Tym can fly in if he is off the no fly list by then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 It's very unlikely that I can do this in 2020 but next year I might be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
