....did get round to organising any events so far. Sorry about that Dorseteers.
Given that I was willing but, as it turns out, am unable to represent at an acceptable level, I am turning the Dorset section into a headless democracy for now.
Following a bit of research and some emails, I had a positive response from what can only be described as 'several people'
My conclusion is that we are few in number but spread far and wide. In fact if we were all to meet in a central point, there would be little time for a rideout on the same day!
That said, there is middle ground and it might be the Shaftesbury area. This might entice some Wiltshire and some Hants occasionally, who knows.
So if anyone has any suggestions about somewhere to meet occasionally, please do so. My own thought is Compton Abbass airfield - for no other reason than Dorset's Ducati Dealer is shut on Sunday, and also they might not mind the noise, and I think they have a cafe, and its off a good road.
I'll go and find out this weekend. Let me know if you want to meet up.
In the meantime, I plan to tag along with the Hampsters once or twice, and suggest you do also.
I had planned a trackday at Mallory Park in June, but that's already been done so.....
Oh, and of course Poole Quay on a Tuesday is an regular option. Weather permitting I may even get there tomorrow. Hang on that's out twice in a week, hmmm, this enthusiasm thing can sneak up on you when the sun starts shining.....
Feedback from any Dorset members would be useful, right about now.
