Anyone?

[dern]

Very few people seem to. I've taken mine twice. The first time I went along with Alex (Iguana) in the summer and there were 4 or 5 bikes there and the second time in autumn and I was the only one.

The advantage is that you don't have to pay for parking but then everyone ignores the bikes and drools over the (usually) slower cars.

Well I'm going to take the bike and... drool over the cars.

I'll take the car as I use the bike every day so the car feels more special iyswim but I'll come and drool over your bike if you like.

[Rawwr]

There's not much to drool over really.

Mine's covered in salt induced fur so anything else looks nice

[Rawwr]

Well I'll probably see you there, then. Just look out for a fat bastard in particularly filthy Rossi rep leathers.

[incorrigible]

Hmm tempted to bring the bike, show off it's nice new race track scars

But February

I think I'll bring the car

Mmm 5th I was going to go to the Ally Pally. I guess I could go on the 4th.

I might be up for a trip on the bike, from Bedfordshire. I'll have to wire the heated jacket in, though.

Whereabouts in Beds are you?

[Robbo SPS]

Depending on how the new tune up went today, i may come along for the ride. Its only an hour from the south and cold coast.


I'm on the CBR6 with hopefully well tuned exhaust and i wear all black...

Luton area. Didn't you post you're from St Ives, once?

[Rawwr]

St Neots

That's actually where I meant - Freudian slip.

A mate of mine lives in Eaton Socon so I get over there a fair bit over the summer - ending up in The Riverside (He lives in Thailand over the winter)

[Rawwr]

Cool, I'm in Eaton Ford.

[bennyboysvuk]

I'm planning to come along in the car. I've wussed out of the bike option since a) it's got a flat battery after being stuck in the garage all winter, b) it's got ex-race tyres on that need a bit of heat before they're any good and c) it's gonna be pretty cold.

So, Incorrigable? New track scars? Where did you bin it?

[S2rr Kitty]

I'll be there....

Prolly in the S2 although I may nick the CBR if it's a very very nice day.... cos I'm a girl and I melt in the cold!

[Rawwr]

What is all this 'too cold' nonsense? You are ALL girls.

[veetwin]

I shall try and make the effort for a pint at the Wheatsheaf. I am at Ally Pally on the 4th, so, besides the fact that the missus won't be too happy with me spending a whole weekend talking automotive, I shall be over. What time are they meeting? IIRC it was around 11.00am before.

Weather will determine what mode of transport is to be used. The Elise is flying at the moment as I have just replaced the CAT with a bypass pipe. The Blade has not been out of bed since October last year. I will drag it out if the roads are dry. Not bothered about the cold too much.

Kitty is a girl!!

You're still at the enthusiastic stage. Give it a couple of years, when your joints start playing up and the cold starts antagonising your 'constitution'.....

And there is the real concern about the effects of the road salt on your pride and joy. Remember to hose down your bike after every ride with COLD water - hot water encourages the action of the salt, apparently. The alternative is fuzzy aluminium and disolving downpipes.
