Dukes go mad in EA - 20th September [Archive] - UK Monster Owners Club Forum

I had hoped to organise a bit of a rideout in Suffolk for the Hypermotard section of the Ducatisti forum but having posted I was jokingly slated for being Bikeist :) so it has been opened to all Dukes.

The link is here http://www.ducatisti.co.uk/forum/ducati-hypermotard-1100/20348-hypers-go-mad-ea.html and as mentioned therein I said I would post it on here for any Monster riders to come along and join in the fun.

A ride around some of this areas lovely little twisty roads, a few stops on the way including possibly a stop for lunch and maybe a simple BBQ for the afternoon/evening.

Anyone fancy a run out for the day? Possible stop over if you think the BBQ is a good idea and want a glass of vino or a firkin or two of beer

Did I not see your other half indicate that he was hoping that you would be attending the Belgium fiesta?

If so you have a problem as the dates coincide.

OK posted this up a few weeks ago. I know alot of you will be heading across the waters to eat choccie and drink fizzy beer (Have a great trip you lot and be careful, my Grandpa has told me all about those belgium women and whilst Logyk is probably the only one who the ones Grandpa was talking about would appeal to, it can be a dangerous world out there) but anyone who is not going and fancies a run out on Saturday would be more than welcome. Just let me know if anyone is interested.

Wish i could Squiffy but i am working again this Saturday (thats 9 in a row if anyone counting...feckin NHS).
Keen to make the most of any remnants of good weather we might get though so let me know if you are planning anything in the coming weeks and i will definitely be up for it.
Would have joined you on the Ace Reunion run last weekend but found out about it too late..

I'm not going to Belgium.

Squiffy, it would be a pleasure to meet up with you and then I can give you what you're owed! The rest of you can think what you like!

At least I think I can get out on Saturday. Probably definitely.

Ah those special magical moments.

I'm so peeved at being here in the cold and the cold and the cold. This is NOT my beautiful villa. These are not my magical sunshines. This is NOT my transportation.

OMG!

We had a 7 seater Dodge. It were brilliant. Can't believe you got a Limo. Where did you go in that?!

This is sooooo going to turn into the Disneyworld thread isn't it? Where's Ricky? He's just come back too.

lol it was a bit Sim City in real life the roads were all the same and just straight lines one after the other

Nonnie

17-09-2008, 09:19 AM

I didn't drive there. I was too scared. It were just too big! Turning right on a red?! Legal U turns?! Very good. I wish I was there again.

OMG!

..... Can't believe you got a Limo. Where did you go in that?!

We went to a dine with MM and friends Champers in the Limo and dinner with the disney gang great fun and the girls got their autographs of the main guys without the massive queues in the parks

18-09-2008, 06:31 AM

Yep not sure how many will be turning up though I haven't had much of a responce could be just three or four of us but the run I have in mind should give us a bit of a trek and some lunch on the way round. See you there Andy.

Nonnie

18-09-2008, 08:05 AM

And me! What about me?! What shall I do?! Who will meet me?!

Gosh it's all me me me.

squiffything

18-09-2008, 08:16 AM

LOL you funny bunny you are one of the three!

Hopefully we will have

Squiffy (me)
Nonnie
AndyP
Snips (come on Nige read your messages and empty your inbox :) )
Loughtonlion (Steve)

There were one or two others on the Ducatisi site who were interested but the thread has gone quiet so waiting to see if anyone wants to join us.

AndyP

18-09-2008, 10:45 PM

And me! What about me?! What shall I do?! Who will meet me?!

Gosh it's all me me me.

I can wait Beacon Hill or Diss for you, about 9 30?

Nonnie

19-09-2008, 06:23 AM

Thanks Andy. 9.30???? Is that am?!

I will try very hard. I will need to. That's early!

Nonnie

19-09-2008, 02:19 PM

Oh yes, a little more information. Whereabouts in Diss then? I don't know Beacon Hill I don't think or is that the services at the end of the A140?

I'm guessing we're going across to Newmarket way in which case I suggest we do meet at Diss because it's a cracking road out.

Oh yes, looks like it's going to be a lovely day weather wise too. Very good, very good.

Aha! A little later. You know me so well.

I will be there.

Snips

19-09-2008, 11:29 PM

Geez, I suck.

I think the EA bit threw me, and I didn't spot this thread.

I will be there!

Looking forward to catching up with you all - I'll be the one talking in binary.

Nonnie

20-09-2008, 07:22 AM

Works of art. You too could sell stuff for 111 milliion, or should that be 1100100111001001 pences or something, what do I know? It's early. See you later.

Nonnie

Hey all,

Thanks Squiffy for organising a great ride out (two great rideouts if you count the split groups ;) )

Great crowd. Cool to see you again Nonnie.

Let's hope we get a few more days like this before cold and damp sets in.

AndyP

Thanks to Squiffy for a thoroughly decent rideout and hope you all got home safely.
