OcUK Motorbike Meet 2012 *Interest and ideas*

[bakes0310]

This is just a friendly notice to see if its something we would be interested in. I know in other threads theres been mentions of doing something so i guess we could start planning something so here goes:


Location & Date
Date: 24th of March Saturday @ 11:30am (we will give time for the slow and the lost)
I know some are meeting at reading and other places but Nuneaton is the destination were all trying to get to alive. Heres the address that 4T5 was kind enough to find us.
Longshoot Hotel
Watling Street,
Nuneaton
CV11 6JH
Some people will be meeting up before getting to Nuneaton, most seem to be meeting up at Reading (mcdonalds).



What Were Doing
I just copy and pasted one of 4T5 post:
We plan on meeting at the Longshoot & having a little meet & greet for everybody, Then we will potter up to imo the Best bike road in England about 5 mins away at legal speed limit, I will stop in this pub at the start of "The Road" with any others that don't want to do "The Road" Then you Fast boys can go & play as the road ends up at a big roundabout so you can come straight back down "The Road" to me/us.
Then we can potter into Hinckley to the Triumph factory & on up to Mallory.

So i think we need to decide where we should meetup and decide where were actually riding to etc.

 

[bakes0310]

So looks like we got a plan coming up then awesome.

 

[bakes0310]

If we do go to the A444 then our intentions should be kept to ourselves as we wouldn't want to attract unwanted attention on the day.

As it stands a meet between Hinckley & Oxford sounds good for you Big bike Dudes, Then you can head to Hinckley for a food & drink stop meet anybody else who can get down to us & then a little Pilgrimage to the Triumph factory then on up to Mallory could be put on the agenda.

As for dates we can finalise it closer depending on the weather but I got my Chopper last April & was out on it every day.

That sound perfect.

 

[bakes0310]

So were all happy with Hinckley then. I think 4T5 is gonna recommend a location in Hinckley where we will meet and then ill update the OP. Then we just need to work out a date and time

 

[bakes0310]

Ill Update the OP

 

[bakes0310]

Don't see why people can't bring their mates. Like skully just said, the ride back down I will be doing anything but a casual pace

On your bike its law i wouldnt expect anyhing else

As for me and some others were not all speed demons so theres gonna be a nice mix of riders so we wont all get left behind

 

[bakes0310]

We got are little biker gang going If 4T5 has a cruiser, he's bound to get his hands on leather jackets and tassles

 

[bakes0310]

Just updated the OP i dont think i missed anyone out.

 

[bakes0310]

Turn that frown upside down, i looked through the thread and you aint put your details up. Soon as you do ill put you on the list

 

[bakes0310]

Theres loads of us Cant wait to see us all go off down the road together, we got a nice gang here.
4T5 how many miles is this nice road of yours that starts outside the pub?

 

[bakes0310]

Its been an expensive 3 weeks:
New front tyre
tax
insurance
and in a couple weeks i got my service, but oh well she deserves it

 

[bakes0310]

Went out yesturday afternoon, it must have been the suniest day this year. must have done about 150miles and it was perfect, love days like this.
Im looking out the window and i think its pretty sunny again

 

[bakes0310]

Im using my TomTom Rider to get me there, it hasnt steered me wrong yet

 

[bakes0310]

Not long now, it didnt seem that long ago when i made the thread. Its great to see the list of members thats coming plus friends.

 

[bakes0310]

So were all happy with Saturday?

 

[bakes0310]

Fitted a givi rack and box onto my bike, enough space to put my lid in and still space for my lunch
Anyway its nearly time, cant believe its nearly time. I hope the weather is like today, its really sunny.

 

[bakes0310]

Looks like a good weekend was chosen, albeit (I love that word for some reason) fortuitously.

Hopefully there won't be too many of you who are young enough to be my kids

Note to self call ElliorR dad

Yep still going, ive charged my TomTom Rider, and i may clean my bike if i aint got work today.

How far is it for everyone, for me its 146miles so im guessing thats a couple hours ride.

 

[bakes0310]

Just seen a weather headline "UK To Be As Hot As The Sahara This Weekend"

 

[bakes0310]

Just finished watching TT3D: Closer To The Edge and now its an early night. Cant wait to get on my bike tomorrow morning, looking forward to the ride up there. Also be nice to meet some fellow ocukers, im guessing i maybe the youngest but i wont make fun of you oldies...much
