November 8th - Breakfast meet

[uksurfer]

Due to popular demand, the next Breakfast Meet for the Hants (and a couple from wilts) and anybody else who would like to meet up, enjoy some chit chat have a breakfast and a few mugs of coffee is on the 8th November

At the moment due to weather, it might well be a car/bike meet, main thing is that people come along.

The question is do we meet at the normal place
http://www.thehilltop.co.uk/,

or do would we like to make it to the American diner in Kingsclere
http://www.nelsonsdiner.co.uk/ ?

The choice will be down to popularity, failing that, i will decide :biggrin:

Hope to see you all there and hopfully some more 'newbies' :ukm:

[Stuart42]

Nice one Martin

I'm easy as to where we meet. Hows that for helpful?

Cheers
Stuart

[desmo]

Will try to make it if I can get the day off (suposed to be working)
Will be on the bike weather permiting (not interested in driving the car)
Don't mind where the meet is (as long as the ride is good, which it was)
Just out of interest, if this is going to be a regular monthly meet, do you intend to post the date of the meet every month or are you going to make it say the 1st Sunday in every month?

[Stuart42]

Hi Phil

it's not a set Sunday in the month we just suggest one and see what the response is.

As last week was only our second we've not really got organised, we just try and accomodate as many as we can.

Cheers
Stuart

It seems to be like ours the second sunday Desmo . I think he intended that reading past threads. Our Kent meet is flexible though and sometimes twice monthlyat times :D:woot:

[desmo]

Ok, that's fine.
I work shifts, so sometimes I may be working for 3 or 4 weekends on the trot, & then I will have 3 or 4 weekends off, so I will make it when I can.

we were going to try the 3rd sunday of the month, but one member has to work shift patterns, so were more relating to that at the moment, we are going to try to meet monthly throughout the winter, and maybe do some rides etc in the brighter weather.

We can only do this if people turn up, i know the 'Kenties' have a very active members meet, but as its new, its more of a see how it goes and see what happens!

The 'Hampshire' region used to be very active (from what i have been told) but it needs members to support the meets, or the organisers will lose interest.... :scratch:

[chris yeatman]

sounds good, dont mind where as long as i dont go hungry :eyepopping:

[Albie]

Maybe you should meet at stonehenge in the middle. Nice photo shoot when they aint looking LOL

Idea at looking at other diner you could organize a Ducati Monster Club meet as they seem to like the themes looking at their history
or do would we like to make it to the American diner in Kingsclere
http://www.nelsonsdiner.co.uk/ ?

Thank goodness they've got toast - thought I might actually have to eat a meal otherwise!!! :chuckle:

I don't mind the Hilltop or the Diner - whatever's decided!

[Liz]

Maybe you should meet at stonehenge in the middle. Nice photo shoot when they aint looking LOL

Albie, have you been to Stonehenge recently? It's a good place to avoid! The traffic on the A303 there is awful. You have to park across the road and go through a tunnel under the road to the ticket booth where you have to pay £6.60 per adult to look at the stones as you're not actually allowed to touch them! Oh, and the stones apparently 'open' and 'close' at certain times - now that's a clever trick for an inanimate object! So, I guess the challenge is for someone to get their Ducati into the field, across the grass, avoid the security and manage a photoshoot! Anyone interested?!! ;)

"Can at Avebury if you ever go down that way" - LOL it's only about 10(?) miles from where I live!! Look up Calne-Avebury - takes about 15 minutes the way I ride it!! Must get quicker! ;)

[granite785]

I'm good for that date and not fussy with either place provided I can get teh damn engine bolt back in !!

Putting on some crash bungs and they are not as easy as I had hoped!

I just hope I'm not tempting fate.

Cheers for the offer Stuart, I'll see how I get on tonight. It was getting to the point that I should leave it alone or I might have hit it too hard with the hammer and that would not have been good. :Furious:

Have you sorted it? I just hope I don't drop mine again (only done it once and am still cross!). Couldn't pick it up so had to get a man to help me - aaaah!

So, is breakfast club at the diner? Is our 'glorious leader' going to make the decision? :hail:

[uksurfer]

not sure wether to try the 'diner' now, or wait till next summer to organise a big meet up there with the rest of the club (good idea albie), or we could always meet up there to have a sample?:)

Wait til next summer???? Are you having a laugh? Some of us (MEEE!) will be getting Ducati-owners-withdrawal symptoms! Not that I particularly want to go out in the bad weather on the bike, but would just like to meet up...

If you went right on the A34, wouldn't you end up in the south?

I've got a satnav but haven't worked out how to fit it to the bike yet!! (Or even how to use it in the car!).

Good choice Grant, can you lead the way from Stockbridge?

Meet at 10, then be up there for 11.00? Or is it nearer than that? :woot:

[Stuart42]

Good idea to try the diner.

I'll be at the Shell garage 9.30 ish if anyone wants to go with me to Stockbridge?

Cheers

I'll meet you there, always more fun riding with company.

[uksurfer]

i just looked at the map, maybe a good run over to kingsclere from stockbridge, all back lanes!

If I was leading I think there would need to be a man waving a red flag in front of me :chuckle:

[uksurfer]

Stuart will know, or we'll have to get Albie down to lead!

[Liz]

I'll meet you at the diner - going via Stockbridge is a long way round for me especially in November - might even need to eat a proper meal! Also, if I decide to come in the car, I won't embarrass you 'hard' bikers by following you there! ;)

Who said we'll all be on bikes - It might be like the other day. My bike even got a little clean thanks to the rain.

[Stuart42]

Stuart will know, or we'll have to get Albie down to lead!


No pressure then?

Now I'm designated navigator I can't sit here on my elbow all evening (copyright Baldrick Blackadder Goes Forth), I'll have a look and plan a route.

Cheers

I'd spent all day Saturday cleaning my bike (well, maybe a slight exaggeration but it did look slightly better than normal!). By the time I got back on Sunday, it was filthy and so were my jacket and trousers and my boots were full of rain water - yuck!

Don't you just love it when people are nominated for things!! Well done Stuart!

I've only got 2 roads to follow - A4 & A339 - even I can't get lost?! :eek:

[granite785]

There always back to Andover then the A343 and the A339 to the diner.
Simples. Grrr that bloody Meerkat advert stuck in my head now

[MrsC_772]

Sounds good - I'd be up for pancakes & maple syrup and Andy reckons steak and eggs for breakfast is the best hangover cure ever.

Weather depending, might be bikes or might be the Scooby (which likes the rain far more than I do). My gloves still hadn't dried out by yesterday morning when I took the Monster to Snells for its first service - took 30 minutes and a mug of hot choc before I'd got any feeling back in my fingertips.

[Stuart42]

Just had a look and we go through Wherwell, Longparish, Whitchurch, Overton to Kingsclere.

If its a nice day and you want to we can come back to Andover via A343, which is a cracking road too? Then back to Stockbridge.

If you happy with this I'll try a practice run just to make sure.

Cheers
Stuart

Good to see you coming along, te more the merrier. Any transport is welcome, but will we all fit in the pub car park if we all bring cars. I'd not taken much notice before as aways been on the bike.

I went to work on the bike today but took my waterproofs just ot be on the safe side

[desmo]

Nelsons dinner looks good & so does the grub, also the roads are slightly better for me to get there if the weather is dodgy.

Please book the weather this time, I've just spent 3 night's cleaning off most of the crap from last time. :hissy:

[uksurfer]

cant believe your bikes got that dirty! mine was a little bit, so had a good clean when got home, even chris was surprised when he turned up!

[granite785]

I just ignore all the dirt on mine, better than the dust and cobwebs I normally have!

[uksurfer]

I'd spent all day Saturday cleaning my bike (well, maybe a slight exaggeration but it did look slightly better than normal!). By the time I got back on Sunday, it was filthy and so were my jacket and trousers and my boots were full of rain water - yuck!

Delegation - the sign of a good leader!!! When's the Christmas lunch meet?!! BTW, it's not at my house - I ain't cooking a roast!

[chris yeatman]

i love roasts. :p

[Liz]

you washed your bike before you took it out in the rain :chuckle:

I'm sure the forecast didn't say it was going to p**s it down for most of the day and Saturday was lovely!! :spin:

[Liz]

i love roasts. :p

I've forgotten how to cook! :dizzy:

[granite785]

have you organised your son to come back that weekend yet?

haha, I'm sure he'll be back often. Any of the Sundays in November will be hoping ot be out on the bike so he will be stuffed if he is hoping for a lie in :chuckle:

[granite785]

The amount of food we get through at these meets, we'll have to start cycling.

Well you might - I only eat toast and that keeps me going until the next meet!! :chuckle:

ooh that makes us even now. ;)

[Liz]

ooh that makes us even now. ;)

Mind you, if it's a cold but nice day and I do come on the bike, I may have to treat myself to a bacon sarnie! I also may need someone to bring me a hot-water-bottle!

[Stuart42]

I've been on this forum for the last few years and have got to grips with most acronyms, PMSL, LOL, WTF etc but what is wash?

[uksurfer]

but what is wash?

something you dont seem to find the time to do!!:D

[Stafford]

So it's not Water And Soap Helps then?

[uksurfer]

TWIT (thats what i thought)

[Liz]

So it's not Water And Soap Helps then?

TWIT (thats what i thought)

Well, of course you know what the next 'acronym' is going to be, but I don't want to put anything rude cos I'm a very polite person!!

[chris yeatman]

i might be in the car for meet, :eek: if i dont get chance to buy the clutch plates and fit them by then :mad: :banghead:

[uksurfer]

my journey will be weather related, talkin about clutches, think mine needs a clean!:scratch:

[Liz]

. Oh and new clutch cover pick up tomorrow. Its a bit like yours well a lot even the same.

does it say 'monster' on it or '1100'?? good choice by the way!, i wonder if they'll put a red pressure plate in the box by mistake as well? :running:

[Albie]

I asked him if they made an 1100 one but told some monster ones coming for sale last wednesday. snapped it up. You got free a pressure plate. Bargain.

Stuart is going to lead us to here

http://www.nelsonsdiner.co.uk/contact.php

for 11.00 to meet all those heading down from the north!

[MrsC_772]

I think we'll probably meet up with people at Nelson's, rather than heading down to Stockbridge first.

[Stafford]

I think I might be putting a Ducati sticker on the car, the weathers not looking too promising.

[chris yeatman]

stuart 42, ogl said something about a ride out after brekkie, as he is on holiday till friday, i have steped in to find out , any more info on this?
cheers

[Stuart42]

Hi all

sorry been quiet, week from hell.

Did a dummy run of the ride there and back last week so all being well thats what we'll do.

Still meeting Granite at the garage in Andover?

Then ride down to Stockbridge then onto diner and back home via Newbury.

Won't be on Monster as Winter project has started so will be on SS, come rain or shine.

See you all Sunday, weather looking better.

Cheers
Stuart

[uksurfer]

rain or shine? i'll be on either, deciding on the day, don't look too bad at the moment!

[Liz]

See you at the Diner at 11! :)

[uksurfer]

If I wore the amount of extra layers needed to keep me warm, I wouldn't be able to ride the bike, but I probably wouldn't get hurt if I fell off!! :chuckle:

[uksurfer]

you gonna turn up looking like a michelin man then?

[Liz]

you gonna turn up looking like a michelin man then?

Michelin woman if you don't mind! :p

[uksurfer]

i'm not sure if there ever was a michelin woman, so you could be the first :D

[granite785]

rain or shine? i'll be on either, deciding on the day, don't look too bad at the moment! I'm hoping to make it on the bike, so long as my flu symptoms subside by Sunday, otherwise I'll go for the easy option of the car.

Still meeting Granite at the garage in Andover?
Should be good (flu permitting) 9.45 wasnt it?

[Liz]

i'm not sure if there ever was a michelin woman, so you could be the first :D

Trouble is, I don't have Michelin's on my bike - I've got Pirelli Diablos! ;)

[chris yeatman]

sorry but cant do ride out after cos something has come up tho i will be at the diner

[Stuart42]

Should be good (flu permitting) 9.45 wasnt it?

Hi

Cheers
Stuart

[chris yeatman]

better get on with me clutch then :running:

[uksurfer]

deffo, clutch should be the main thing you do today mate :running:

[desmo]

Just checked the weather, doesn't look too bad rain wise, maybe just a little cold.
Will make a final decision in the morning, hope to see you all at the dinner.
If I don't make it, enjoy!!!

Phil.

[uksurfer]

no problems phil, have a safe ride, if its wet, the car will get a run out :mand:

[chris yeatman]

i think it will be ok weather wise, on the bikes at the mo.

[uksurfer]

[Stuart42]

Glad you got the clutch sorted.

[scareycarey]

Sorry cant make ride out today if you are all still going in this horrid weather. Try to make the next one:yoparty:

[chris yeatman]

sorry guys in the car, monnie is pi$$ing out oil from oil filter :Furious::Furious::Furious::Furious::Furious:
is there a dodgy batch of those?

[MrsC_772]

Good to see everyone today.

Only a couple of spots of rain on the way home, so I call that a result. I was able to retire to a hot bath with a Bike magazine rather than getting cold and wet on the drive washing the bike when I got home.

Not sure Andy or I will need to eat for the foreseeable future - talk about a Monster breakfast!

[uksurfer]

Good to see everyone today for breakfast, met a few at stockbridge for the ride up to the diner, Stuart the tour guide got us there, lovely big breakfast, met others up there, then had a run out with Stuart and Grant, up to Newbury and down the back roads to Andover, managed just over a 100 miles!!! (in november)
Some new faces today Rollo who travelled the farthest i think! and Dave Matthews who managed to have a free coffee!!!!!!
normal faces of me, stuart,grant, Mrs C & Andy, the fair-weather riders were Chris (oil filter failure) and Stafford and Liz after some heavy rain in the Bath area!

Next meet December for X-mas dinner :mand:

[Stuart42]

Hi

good to see everyone for a chat and brekkie.

Hope the route was ok, would've been great in the dry.

Hope you all got home safe and congratulations to UKsurfer on reaching the posts number of the beast.

See you all December

Cheers
Stuart

[David Matthews]

Thanks to uksurfer for organising the day and Stuart for planning such a good route with flowing roads through varied countryside. We had no trouble with traffic from Stockbridge to Nelson's Diner.

After dashing off from the Diner, I realised I hadn't settled up for the coffee, who do I owe a coffee next time?

Dave

[rollo22]

Good to meet up with you all.
One dirty bike in garage
Sorry cant do the December Lunch

[Stuart42]

Hi both

Hopefully see you both soon

Cheers
Stuart

As luck would have it, Stafford had kindly bought my coffee for me, which just left enough change to cover your 'drink and run' coffee :D

Albie, it's one lttle mirror! I love wide mirrors on my bike so I can see what's behind me (but then again with an 'little' bike, you need to). If you're going faster than everything else, I suppose it doesn't matter - so wish I could afford a bigger bike.........!!

[desmo]

Sorry guys n gals, I didn't make it.
Contrary to all the weather forcasts which said it was gonna be dry, at 8am it was cold & drizzling, by
9am it was chucking it down!!!

I reckon that's it for me for the next 4 months or so bike riding wise.
See you all in the spring!!!

Phil.

i tried them bolted on the bar rather than bolted on the end, moved the levers etc in a bit, but the throttle side wont fit on the bars all squashed up with about 1/2 " , i wouldnt mind a new top yoke and some renthals, the clutch side there was enough room to do it ok,
visibility wise there great though :D

[Stuart42]

Nice pic, sorry mine ruined the Monster theme, still come spring it'll be a gleaming, well clean anyway.
