[Lady-Bob]

I know this date is normally our brekkie meet, but I thought it would be good to get those t-shirts out and go over to the Ace Cafe Italian Day.

Aiming to be there before midday.

Aiming to meet up with Benson, north of the Blackwall Tunnel for her to lead us in.

It's the A2 that goes up to the blackwall tunnel.

Happy to meet people at the Black Prince interchange somewhere. Please post up exactly where you would like to wait for each other before heading off.

Actuall times still a bit vague as I am waiting for Benson to get back to me on that one. But I will make sure confirmation is made VERY soon.

If you'd like to come along you are very welcome. I will be bringing along Alanc's, NTB's, Critch's & Megan's T-Shirts just in case

Please add your name to the list....

Lady-Bob
Stewart & Samantha
Gully
Albie & Caroline
Scrapps?

[scrapps]

Hi all me and james coming up to ace and would like to meet up on way,not sure where black prince hotel is :worried: but if you can advise we will be there. got some photos from weekender ect to bring up..

[benson]

Hello All - Lady Bob - did you get your PM? I've suggested meeting at the Harley Dealership Stadium at 11 AM - have a look at the Essex and London threads for the link or I can post it again - see u there!!!

[benson]

There it is - the link.

The directions are pretty easy - straight through the tunnel - stay on the A12 about 8/9 miles until you come onto a roundabout (the only one!!!) - bear left onto the A406 (north circular).

Stay on that for about 5 miles until the A112 at the Crooked Billet Rounabout - at the roundabout turn right towards Chingfrod/Waltham Abbey and the dealership is just past the Greyhound Stadium - 07973 440 354 if there are any probs - hope it stays dry!!!

Its two stops after Dartford tunnel. I trust we meeting a bit before 10 then .:idea:

[benson]

OK - I'm a bit confused - are you coming through the Dartford OR the Blackwall tunnel???:scratch:

Ive PM'd Bob the directions through the Blackwall tunnel - let me know if that's not right - I'm taking the other bike in for its service today and going to the Parkinson's Open Day in Colchester but I'll be on my mobile if you need 'owt!:spin:

[Lady-Bob]

We going Blackwall Tunnel.

What time will you be at the Harley Dealership Benson?

PS. Didn't get any PM :worried:

[Albie]

We will go through Blackwall.No worrys. An adventure. We just need to pick up 406:cool:

[Lady-Bob]

Good to have you along Scrapps.

Ok, Hotel Car Park it is then.

I'm just waiting for Benson to tell me what time at the Harley dealership and then we can figure out what time at the Hotel Car Park.

Watch this space.

[Albie]

Time then about 9.45 then boss lady:p

[Lady-Bob]

Ride to Italian Day


Please PM me if you want to meet up to ride in - I propose Stadium Harley Davidson in Chingford at 10.30 so be there for about 11.

Stadium is easily found - it's off the north circ at the Walthamstow dog track/Billet Roundabout exit ride past Sainsbury's and it's on your right - can't miss it - I'll be there if anyone PMs me and wants to meet up..


Just found this on the London thread.

Any ideas on what time to meet at the Black Prince?
Not entirely sure of how long it will take to get to the Harley Dearlership.

What say you? 9.30 or 9.45?

[Lady-Bob]

Albie you type too fast... your post wasn't there a moment ago! :p

9.45 it is.

[Lady-Bob]

Oh and Scrapps.... bring the map so we can get home again!


and don't forget -DONT PUT ME IN FRONT!!!!!!!!!! :twak:

[Albie]

I thought you gonna tell me off as didnt read end of your post so had to edit quick. only use 2 fingers unlike caroline speedtypist.

[Lady-Bob]

only use 2 fingers unlike caroline

Now that's a little more information than I need to know!;)

Gotta go now.... gotta pick up prawn from her nan's.. if the weathers fair she'll be coming along too

Will post any further details up later today if there are any.

Bye hun ;)

Hi Scrapps
go down A2 to london. 5mins from dartford round about.
2 junctions and black prince on the letf
:rolleyes:
your PM is full. i will pm you my number:mand:

see you all sunday:mand: :mand:

[Albie]

Hi Scrapps
go down A2 to london. 5mins from dartford round about.
2 junctions and black prince on the right.

your PM is full. i will pm you my number:mand:

see you all sunday:mand: :mand:
OOhhh sir !!! No the Black Prince is on your left sir. Not you right sir. Silly man !!!:chuckle: :chuckle: :rolleyes:

[GULLY]

Sorry about that :fou:

[Albie]

Its ok . Have you seen the 900's for sale on ebay in sittingbourne. Could do a lot worse it not being red. It would be better in standard form.

[benson]

Hello dears - sorry for the lack of PM - my outbox says it wnet but it obviously didn't! I'll be at the dealership for 11 - happy to see you there - sadly my Ducati won't be ready - suddely developed a rather revolting blow back and pop through the air box so it is now in bits with Ray...

ANYWAY - It should be about half an hour at that time from the tunnel all being well - the tunnel is the A12 - stay on it and then go left at the first and only roundabout you come to which is the A406 - the north circular> The lane is protected so you shouldn't even need to stop!!!

Once on the A406 stay there until the A112 - this is at a roundabout called the "Crooked Billet" come off at this exit and turn RIGHT onto the A112 - I think it's the 4th exit. Stadium is on the left hand side in about half a mile - after Sainsbury's and the Walthamstow Dog Track - I'll post a link...

[gary tompkins]

I may see you there if weather much better than this afternoon. I'll make my own way in - prefer the M25/A40 option less hassle for 3 wheels TBH.

If it's pissing down it'll be a non-starter for me - sorry :spin:

[GULLY]

not meet to rain to day just over carst

[gary tompkins]

Bit cloudy/grey here but dry, with bits of blue sky & sun popping out from time to time. BBC online weather forecasts light rain for the Kent & London area all day, and others go for dry until lunchtime then rain or showers all day - so I guess its take your pick :confused:

I'll give it another hour or so and see if it holds. If I do go I aim to be at cafe between 11am & midday ;)

[scrapps]

We are going to give it a try so leaving hear soon hope to make to bp on time:worried:

[benson]

Hey Kenties! :tgoe: REALLY good to meet you and so nice to have company on the trip round the Nirth Circular to the Ace for a change!!!

Top day all in all - with good Buff purchases, tatoos, sausage, bacon and egg sarnies, monsters - oh and Buells!!! - great day - hope the weather stayed kindon the way home - give my love to the garden of England and hope to see you soon!!!!!

[scrapps]

Cheers benson it was good to have you along, see you again soon. you will have to pop this way for ice cream and sand castles...:D

[Lady-Bob]

I have standard T tray new shape in shed.

If it's standard black and not carbon... how much do you want for it... Would it fit my 900???

Benson,

Have PM'd you.

Thanks for leading us in.

Shame about the Buell, but I'll forgive since Frank is poorly ! :eek:

I enjoyed it. I don't know about Scrapps getting back to Herne Bay but Gully and I got back without a drop of rain

(Thanks for the offer of a coffee Gully, but Stew would have divorced me if I hadn't gone straight home - I'll take a rain check on that one - pardon the pun!! :mand: )

To everyone, thanks for making the effort to come out today. I think it was a good exercise for those who had been to the weekend for the first time this year... it certainly consolidated the whole experience being able to recognise and chat to JMo, JUlie, Mand, Al, Benson etc., and for you to meet Muttley and Madhatter, Chaos etc.

All in all a good day out and well worth attending. :tgoe:

P.s Gary - thank you for the disc lock reminder... I have no excuse now! :toilet:

[Lady-Bob]

By the way Gully......

Hope the journey wasn't too tedious for you guys.
