October 11th Breakfast Basingstoke/Salisbury

[uksurfer]

Just a reminder that a few of us are meeting for breakfast on the 11th Oct.
Cafe to be arranged hopefully by Granite785 in the basingstoke area, if not, might be back to the salisbury cafe again.

Weather permitting, take some photos of the bikes!!!!!

[chris yeatman]

i'm in, c u there, where ever it is.

[Stuart42]

Me too.

If you want to meet in Andover we can go the back way up to Basingstoke.

Cheers
Stuart

[Liz]

Can't make this one unfortunately - have fun! :)

[DaffyDuc]

Oh Liz!!! hope you have something good planned.

We might make this, if the weathers good it'll be a high mileage weekend :mand:, RTTW on Saturday and brekkie on Sunday. Any thoughts on location yet?

[granite785]

I havent found anywhere yet. If I dont manage to then at least we know the Salisbury cafe is good value and reasonably priced.

I'll post up here once I find a good cafe.

Lunch in Dartmouth with son #1! Don't know what time yet so could maybe make breakfast but would be in the car and probably a dress. :eek:

[scareycarey]

I'll be along for the ride... if you wanna meet in andover area let me know where... it's my first ride out since passing my test....will be with k1200R boyfriend :eek:

[uksurfer]

good to meet new people, your more than welcome to bring a boyfriend (even if hes on a strange bike:biggrin:), should arrange meeting point/time nearer the date

[chris yeatman]

come along, we dont bite. lol :on:

[MrsC_772]

Might be up for it, weather permitting.

Where & when? (Breakfast being theoretically any time between about 6 am and noon).

Coming from Farnborough, and being terminally slow, would prefer closer to noon than 6!

[barbican]

Might be going to Brightona that day, at least I think its on that day - if not I'll come along.

[uksurfer]

we are still waiting for Grant to find somewhere in B'stoke, failing that we are happy to do what we did last time, would meet at Stockbridge about 10 ish and head to the 'Hill Top Cafe' just outside salisbury, probably just after 10. I guess that from farnborough you would have to leave about 9?

[MrsC_772]

Stockbridge at 10ish fine by me.

Will probably be heading out on the Monster in that direction tomorrow, with a view to finding a decent dining pub in Salisbury area for lunch. (Annual post-Christmas get together with in-laws is always in Salisbury, and we're sick of the mediocre hotel restaurant food at the usual spot, and on a recce for somewhere better).

[uksurfer]

we can meet at the white hart pub on the roundabout, think the food in there is supposed to be quite good

[scareycarey]

try the Red Lion at East Chisenbury or the Millstream at Marsden both really nice. Hope to see you on the 11th.:thumbsup:

[chris yeatman]

ok then grant wheres the brekkie gunna be?

[Liz]

Lunch in Dartmouth is off on Sunday so weather/bike permitting, should make it on Sunday! Happy to meet at the White Hart again and thought the Hilltop Cafe was a nice place for brekkie - unless Grant comes up with something else in the meantime!

[chris yeatman]

[QUOTE=Liz_62;323877]Lunch in Dartmouth is off on Sunday so weather/bike permitting, should make it on Sunday!

great stuff :woot:

[chris yeatman]

i think if everybody is still up for it, if it rains, come up in ur cars and still meet up.

[Liz]

i think if everybody is still up for it, if it rains, come up in ur cars and still meet up.

Yes, that'd be fine - still happy to meet for a get-together!

BTW, you lot laughed when I said I might turn up in the car before or was it the 'dress' idea!! ;)

[chris yeatman]

the car i guess/ but only if it raining

[Liz]

the car i guess/ but only if it raining

Good choice of answer Chris! :chuckle:

Not raining - bike, raining - car!

[uksurfer]

does that mean that if i end up coming in the car, i'll have to wear a dress.......? :ymca:

[Liz]

does that mean that if i end up coming in the car, i'll have to wear a dress.......? :ymca:

LOL - an interesting image!!! If I were you, I'd start praying for some good weather! :biggrin:

[Liz]

BTW, Grant is very quiet, is he still riding round Basingstoke looking for a suitable cafe?

[uksurfer]

probably, he might have found loads and had so many breakfasts we wont recognise him :spin:

[Stafford]

Have you booked the weather yet?

[chris yeatman]

does that mean that if i end up coming in the car, i'll have to wear a dress.......? :ymca:

yeah pink one :Furious:

[uksurfer]

yeah pink one :Furious:

does that mean i can borrow one of yours? :chuckle:

[Liz]

No, no, no, no and no, pink wouldn't suit either of you! Would clash terribly with your bikes! I've got a few dresses that don't fit me any more so you're welcome to try them! :eek:

[chris yeatman]

does that mean i can borrow one of yours? :chuckle:

would be a bit big tho :eek:

[uksurfer]

Have you booked the weather yet?

does that mean you might make an appearance then? :woot:

[chris yeatman]

Have you booked the weather yet?

as it comes, w'ere hardcore :worried:

[uksurfer]

as it comes, w'ere hardcore :worried:

i'm about as 'hardcore' as if the weather looks grim, i'll be in the car!
no heroes in the rain outside my garage getting wet :spin:

[Liz]

Have you booked the weather yet?

No, I bet he hasn't, but if it's raining, Martin and Chris are going to be wearing dresses! :gay: I'd love to see that! :chuckle:

as it comes, w'ere hardcore :worried:

Yeah Chris, we're 'hardcore', ooooer, missus!! :running:

[uksurfer]

looks like we might get quite a good turn out for this, there was 5 monsters last time!
i'll be more than happy if we get a few more!

[Liz]

looks like we might get quite a good turn out for this, there was 5 monsters last time!
i'll be more than happy if we get a few more!

Even mine LOL - made it last time! Can we all park the same way round next time, even though I nearly 'backed' mine into some sort of 'Japanese' bike?!! :EEK:

[uksurfer]

Dont forget the Hampshire Breakfast is going to be this Sunday coming:

http://www.thehilltop.co.uk/map.htm

I personally am going to leave Ower services near Romsey at 9.30, then heading up to Stockbridge to meet others at 10.00 at the White Hart pub.
Then follow through Stockbridge and follow the road (A30) towards Salisbury where the cafe is on the left. Probably be at the cafe about 10.15
Plenty of parking!
I'm sure others can meet along the way from other places if you want to organise it yourselves.......

If it rains, i'll be in the car! :thumbsdown:

[Stafford]

does that mean you might make an appearance then? :woot:

I might just do that. :eek:

c u at hilltop cafe :woot:

[granite785]

Hi guys, Sorry I hadn't posted - been really busy at work.

I did find a diner but is was a bit too American and didnt think the Italian bikes would mix too well. It might be an idea or next time though. http://www.nelsonsdiner.co.uk/index.php

There are some cafes around the Basingstoke area but either they were closed on Sundays or parking might have been an issue.

I'll be up for the Hilltop though.

There were plenty of flavours to choose from.:booze:
see you Sunday

[chris yeatman]

weather is looking dry for sunday at the mo.

[MrsC_772]

Any idea how fussy the bikes/dealers are about service intervals?

I'm umming and ahhing about coming on Sunday because the new toy has over 500 miles on the clock, it's due for its first service at 600, Salisbury's about a 100 mile round trip and then I'd still need to get the bike back to Snells (about 20).

I'd like to come, but I don't want to upset the warranty by not getting the first service until nearer 650 miles.

Snells were good about my service as I missed the first one by a few miles. They even said that for the yearly service that I could do the minimum (change oil, etc) but to be on the safe side they would do as the warranty requested even though I'd only done 200 miles more than the previous year.

As Chris said give them a ring to check.

[granite785]

I'm liking that!!

You wont as they need to be ridden at least 621 miles for them to be able to turn out the service spanner icon off which only comes on at 1000km = 621miles. I had to ride 30 miles back for them to turn it back off in the rain. You wont upset warranty by 50 miles.

[Stafford]

Metcheck says no

[singletrack]

I was told anywhere between 620 and 800 miles for a service. They prefer you to go over the 620 than under it.

Chris, if we're gonna meet at the cafe, can you give me the postcode?

might be on the bike after all :spin:

[MrsC_772]

Likely to come through Stockbridge anyway - depending on what time I get there (and whether I see any Monsters outside the White Hart) might stop there, otherwise straight onto the Hilltop.

Can't say I'm keen on riding in convoy being a slowcoach.

Other half on Fazer will probably come too.

[Stuart42]

I'll be at the Shell garage about 9.30 tomorrow and hopefully meeting scarey, so Liz if you want to meet there as well, its off the round about where you go off to Ludgershall.

After topping up I'll head off to hopefully meet Granite at the A303 where we went our seperate ways last time, about 9.45.

Should be at White Hart Stockbridge by 10.

Hopefully you can all make it.

Cheers
Stuart

[desmo]

The Weather?
I spent years keeping my previous bikes prestine & not going out if it was wet with the end result of me missing out on loads of good riding & the next owner of my bike getting a low mileage immaculate bike.
But not any more, stuff it, now I don't worry about it, I just wash it off when i get home.
The only time I stop riding is when the salt goes down, cos that really does ruin the bike in double quick time.

See you all tomorrow for a mega breakfast, yum.

[scareycarey]

Hope the weather is as good as today. Stuart, will meet you at the shell garage 9.30-9.45. Is it the Shell garage just off the 303? If we're not there by 9.45 we will catch you up ( then over take you :fiery:) ;- ))

[Stuart42]

Yes, if you come off 303 for Portway ind estate and then head for Andover, signed local traffic I think its on your left, hopefully see you there.

'if not, we'll catch you up'.

Like a challenge.

Cheers

Probably!!

[Liz]

[Liz]

no have lost few bolts last w.e 'only one holding rad on and one for oil cooler so will wait till i have them

Ooooer! I think the idea is to try and meet monthly.

I degreased and washed my bike today and it still started - although it's covered in dead flies again after I went out for a ride!

[granite785]

Does it matter? I've had 2 weeks off work and have been riding about in all that great weather - much quicker now!!! :biggrin:

Nah, I dont mind being slow, I get there safely and dont feel out of my depth. I want to enjoy the ride! :yoparty:

[granite785]

Shame you cant make it Chris, looks like it might be a good turnout tomorrow, fingers crossed for the weather

[Liz]

Nah, I dont mind being slow, I get there safely and dont feel out of my depth. I want to enjoy the ride! :yoparty:

So do I - but I do like to go fast if I can! :chuckle:

Yay, no need for a short run today, see you later Chris

[Stuart42]

Hi

good to see you all today. Is good to see some more turn up, is becoming quite a gathering.

See you all at the next one, 8th November sound good?

Cheers
Stuart

[uksurfer]

nice to see new faces and meet new people, got home, a bit 'damp', till next time....

Had a superb turn out, think 12 bikes, 10 of which were monsters, some long travellers too! :ukm:

[Stafford]

A bit damp! I've got wet nuts :freak:

[MrsC_772]

Good to meet everyone today.

Nice to see the variety of Monsters out there, though efforts to recruit me into the cult of carbon fibre and loud cans will have to wait until the 696 is fully paid for!

Shame about the weather - for all its virtues the Monster isn't a wet weather long distance tourer. Andy was decidedly smug when we stopped for petrol as the Fazer's little fairing did provide some weather protection.

Would be up for another meet in a few weeks.

[chris yeatman]

hi all
good to see u all, got about a mile up the road and the roads where dry, no rain.
hope u all got home safe.
see u all at the next meet. :thumbsup:

[granite785]

A good run today, I even enjoyed the ride home even though I got soaked! I'm still drying off now :chuckle:
Great there are more faces too. This is turning into rather a large gathering.

Suns out my way now, might have to go back out to dry the bike off :idea:

[Liz]

Hi Everyone,
Nice to see you all today! Got soaked on the way home and bike playing up in the wet. Kitchen floor covered in wet newspaper soaking up all the water dripping off my wet gear! Sun came out later so have only just covered up the bike - never mind, a good meet anyway! :)

Chris, it sounds like you're the only one who managed to stay dry!

8th November's ok with me for next time - now, where's my car keys! ;)

[rich]

Hi all
Good turn out today
Glad you all got home safe

Regards rich

[scareycarey]

How polite of you all not to mention me dropping my bike.... only dropped it 3 more times on the way home ;- )
We got very wet too... stopped at Stockbridge and bumped into a "frightfully posh" old boy who was re telling stories of riding his old bmw r85...
nice to meet some local bikers.. we only moved here recently, we're away on the 8th holiday-ing somewhere hot:flamed:
Will be up for the next one tho... any weather!
I'll understand if no one parks next to me:biggrin:

[uksurfer]

[desmo]

Hi everyone.
It was nice to meet you all today & I really enjoyed the ride (even though I got soaked on the way home)
I will definately try to make the next one though I am supposed to be working that weekend (got some hol left to use up before 1st Jan.
My Mrs (Roz) wants to come next time on her 696 (she couldn't make it today, cos she has gone to the horse of the year show at the NEC)

See you all soon.

Martin,
As our newly elected rep (4 votes to none I think!), how about organising some sort of Christmassy lunch/get-together in December? What about the White Hart in Stockbridge one December Sunday lunchtime if available (not that I'm giving you ideas, but just a thought?)! :yoparty:

No, not at all! I just couldn't stand going at 60 any longer (yes, I know we were being considerate to everyone else - just don't ever let me go in the lead!) - lovely bit of completely traffic-free dual carriageway - I couldn't resist it!! He did catch up, but only cos I had to slow down to turn into the cafe!!

8th Nov is good for me also, lets hope that we can a few days of sun in the month.

Failing the White Hart for a Crimble lunch, I can recommend the Mayfly just up the road, is very good food.

But thats for our 'rep' to decide.
