It would be interesting to get together but it would also be nice to know where everybody is around the uk so people in the same locality can contact each other :)

I'm in Cheshire not too far from Macclesfield

Depending on family commitments and half decent weather I'm hoping to have a run out to Thundersprint on 10th or 11th of May.

Tony and I are in Swindon.  But I know others are up Yorkshire way, wearing their flat caps.  I have met Lucky Lou already, in Derbishire.  Fortunately he was not wearing chaps at the time : ).

So there is quite a spread, it has to be said.  So it will have to be somewhere in the midlands, where we can all get to....ish.

Take a little time to organize....

Cheers

I'm in W Yorkshire, but sans a machine at present due to extended (and I mean extended... :-[) rebuild.

Once up and running, Happy to meet wherever.

It was an enjoyable ride round the peak district and Gertie pissed off the Harley owners in Matlock when the tourists were taking her picture and not the Chrome monsters....

He goes under the name of Gusset,  Mr Gusset or 'The Mighty Gusset'  And yes he is...a gusset.

Who was the idiot of the orangey yellow R100, just wearing jeans.......Oh, it was me ::)

Nice day though, and a nice ride in the hills.

Matlock was somewhat of a disappointment though, too many 'bikers' for my liking....Rough lot ;)

We were all up there to say 'cheerio' to Pooh, and to drink a few bevies in his name.  Gone to a better place, now though.  Pity he could not take his R100 with him.

oh i wear jeans mate! wouldn't ride without gloves tho , or at minimum a leather jacket . boots too , matlock isn't a meeting place for bikers ! its a place for your bank manager to show off his £20,000 harley. i'd sooner be riding it than parked , btw you realise its an offence to cross the chevrons ? (or it is if you get cought , or stick it on youtube lol ), yes it is cold up north! you shandy drinking southerner! lol wear a vest !
