Dave Day, 8th June

[V10SWC]

Having a Dave day,

Planned ride from the Ace cafe all the way up to Barrow in Furness with multiple joining points on route.

Anybody else joining this, planning to join somewhere near junction 36 of the M6 but not ride all the way into Barrow or may just find a suitable vantage point and watch it roll past.

Looks like its going to be an epic ride out by all accounts.

Joining from the NMM

Looks a bit hard for people north of Barrow to join in, which is a shame. A run down from Cairn Lodge would seem appropriate.

Isn´t "Dave Day" the event where you have to tie a lamp to a broomstick
and shine inside a partially blocked Nazi tunnel ?

That was the first thing that came to mind!

As a Cumbrian lad it'll be a good ride out hopefully. There's a few of us meeting the Scottish and North East contingent at Southwaite service station (M6) to mosey on down to J36 (Ambio Cafe) and then onwards to Barrow.

It's certainly gathering momentum on FB and if all interested show face, it could well be into 10k bikes plus.

Ooh. it's my birthday What's a Dave Day?

If all goes to plan I should have just finished the OG bike trip to the French Pyrenees and be en-route to the Czech Republic for an Indian motorcycle fest thingy in Budweis.

Basically a memorial to Dave the hairy biker.

I’d quite like to do it,he genuinely seemed like a lovely guy and the world needs more people like Dave, but given the momentum the event is developing there might easily be over 10K bikes and arriving in barrow will be absolute carnage; I might just donate or buy the latest book,or I’m tempted to just take a trip out and watch from a safe distance.

The closest thing I’ve done is probably be ace cafe’s Brighton burn up which was ok, but a bit chaotic filtering with so many bikes at times and some cheeky behaviour on show; jury is still out for me..

[Steve_H80]

I think it's going to be absolutely massive. It could be chaos once everyone starts funnelling onto the A590 but I expect the police will have it in hand.
The only thing I've ever been on of that scale was the MAG/FEMA Eurodemo in 1996 which went into Brussels, but I think I'd rather be on the outside this time watching the event rather than stuck in the middle hoping the bike doesn't boil over
Either way I'll be donating a few quid to the charity.

I'd love to do this but doing the www.RBLR1000.co.uk that weekend.

If you’re doing route c or d I think you’ll not avoid it
