Many thanks.... i was really looking forward to meeting you all but just too much to do, i`ll make sure i`m able to make the next meet. Tomorrow i`m just gonna check that my feet actually reach the floor, i know i like the look of the bike cos he`s mailed me some pics, he`s also very kindly looked into lowering kits etc just in case. If all goes well i`m gonna go back next weekend with a friend, i can only ride them whereas he knows the ins and outs. Can`t wait.... new home and a new bike just need to work out where i`ve packed all my leathers and helmets etc.
If you fancy popping along to meet the motley crew today we'll be gathering outside the Promenade Fish Restaurant or, just up from it, the Post Office about 11.30am onwards.
See events for post code and pics of folk who are going
Safe Journey Folks
Don't forget ya camera!
I'm going to have to give this a miss, even though i did book the day off specially with it in mind. Middle son, the one with the broken leg, just can't be left in the custody of his grandmother in her 90s for any length of time while his mobility is so severely restricted.
I've tried to convince myself that it would be all right, but deep down I know it isn't. So, have a good time everyone, and I'll be thinking of you...
Next time should be no probs. Anyone going to the Classic Bike Show at Stafford next month?
Same as yorkie1966 I was also there, hung around, drank a bottle of water, nothing. No one come and made themselves known or was there any indication there was a meet going on there. Decided in the end to go for a blast as haven't had the chance to really ride my bike since I got her with moving house.
og1016 - I think I saw ya!!! I was sat outside the chippy for a while - well quite a while, then found em all outside the Post Office!!!..thought I saw ya on the other side of the road! though I saw Mykul aswell - but wasn't sure!!
Was really nice to meet everyone
So it was YOU Blue, ya bugger! *wags finger* I look better from the other side of the camera, quit taking me pic!! I'm supposed to be the sneaky photographer
Thank you for the lift Blue, you're a and a very good rider, and we didn't get lost, well I wouldn't have known we did til you said we took the 'scenic route' lol, scenic route my ar..foot!
Thank you Graham for the lift back from Squires, your new bike is so comfy I nodded off to sleep oops
Wills sorry you couldn't make it, hope your lad's leg heals quickly.
Yorkie1966, ya didn't wait long, we did say to meet at 11.30 - 12ish. Impatient bugger
Hopefuly you and og1016 will find us next time. Just a suggestion, add your name to the next event then we'll know to look for ya, oh yea and a recent pic of yourself on your profile helps us identify ya.
It was great to meet up with those I've met before and to meet new folks.I hope everyone got home safely.
A special mention to Rock Chick for dragging herself there when she wasn't feeling 100%. Get well soon hon.
what happened to those who didn't show? Let us know you're ok.
I took loads of photos but I apologise to anyone I missed, sorry HFG and promise those who dodged me 'I'll get ya next time!!'
Congratulations!! Babbsy on being the furthest travelled, sorry there wasn't a prize, hope you had a safe journey home.
Many thanks go to Kate for the huge scarifice she made to get to Matlock, 5 piles of ironing left abandoned, get it done woman, you're back home now!!
