Because I have to work some Sundays, I am a little limited.
My next Sunday off, is 6th March, so I hope to arrange a meet for then.
I'm planning a ride-out to Dungeness (some nice roads around there, and not much traffic usually), when the weather gets nicer, so will post nearer the time for that. I hope we'll be joined by Sussex & Kent at least for that one.
Speak soon peeps.

Wow. I’m impressed.

Tectonic plates never moved quicker! A rat up a drainpipe and a message from the armchair. I both applaud and chastise with the same hand.

See you on the 6th all being shipshape (somewhere interesting perhaps?)

Er..lads, I think we've got a crossed wire or two here. The planned run to Dungeness is for a future date, that IS YET TO BE DECIDED ON.

Sunday the 6th March will just be a meet-up somewhere and possibly a local ride to somewhere if the weather is nice enough.

Yep, if I ever get my bike back from Ducati Ashford!

Had it booked in for cambelts, valve clearances and the carbs to be sorted. Delivered it on Saturday as they said it could be done today - just phoned to be told that all of their mechanics are in fecking Bologna 'training' - jammy bastards. Now that's what I call a perk of the job!! No wonder they charge me so much!

They tell me that they'll be back on Thursday and will look at it then - in themeantime I've had to pinch my wife's car leaving her and the kids on shank's pony! Good weather for such an event though eh!!

I too have been planning a ride out towards Dungeness - and know the roads round there. If you want to meet up, I will happily lead the 'southern section' of the ride. We could perhaps all meet at the Ogri Cafe, then head in a south easterly direction.

However, I agree that we should wait for the weather to improve - as the Marsh can be a bit exposed :( at this time of year.

MilesB, that sounds a great idea, thanks for that. I've not been down that way for some years, and my knowledge of the roads is a little rusty, so your help there would be greatly appreciated.
We'll work it all out at a later date. Cheers.

All Hampsters, as well as anyone else, are always welcome on Surrey meets & rideouts. Even Natty & Ped.

Right, Sunday 6th March, meet at Box Hill between midday and 1pm. If the weathers nice, we can go for a bimble somewhere.
Let's just hope that the weather is better than it's been lately. I've been riding my GS around in this weather, and it was thick with bloody salt until I spent some hours today cleaning it off. Not nice.

A Kind offer Didge but I will be enjoying some warmer weather just outside Jo'burg (again!)

Next time!
