Jan 24th Sunday - Brekkie Meet

[uksurfer]

First meet of the new year, weather permitting were going to have a ride out, usual meeting place at 10am, the White Hart at stockbridge, and hopefully were going to have a ride up to Calne!!! Bacon butties supplied by Liz(i've got a new bike)62.
Hope to see you all there :)

[MrsC_772]

UKsurfer - have you made an early new year's resolution that Hampshire will be more organised and have more get-togethers than the Kenties in 2010?

Not sure yet whether we'll be able to make it on 24th - the annual in-laws get together is normally a Sunday end of January/early February so have a horrible feeling it could be then. Might be amusing to turn up to that on the Monster :-)

[chris yeatman]

count me in, weather wise, sun only,
no rain, snow, thunder, hale.

It's a clever ploy so that I don't have to get my bike dirty! ;)

And Chris has got to promise not to frighten the cat! :running:

[Albie]

Sounds like a good plan. Wished I had thought of that yesterday when I went out.. Liz you need some of the Natty Boy cleaning cloths. 10/10

I'm on it Albie! Got his address yesterday, I sometimes pay attention!!! ;)

Oooh, frightened me! :eek:

Possibly! Any other requests?

[chris yeatman]

full english please, lol :running:

[Liz]

full english please, lol :running:

I think I asked the wrong question didn't I? Anyway, you don't know my address! LOL!

[Stuart42]

Nice one, I'll be there.

Have had a look at a route, and is fairly good road.

Cheers
Stuart

[uksurfer]

that would be great if you could Stuart, you can lead, and we'll follow, and if anyone gets stopped for speeding, its your fault!! :biggrin:

[Stuart42]

Me?
Always within the speed limits, maybe on the wrong side of the road but always within the speed limits.

My thinking is that, being on a Manx plate, national speed limit is whatever you want.

Cheers
Stuart

[uksurfer]

maybe we should let Grant lead, hes got his new 'badge' now! :spin:

[Stuart42]

I hear he's sewn it to his Sam Brown belt?

[uksurfer]

he he, hope to get a good turn out, might have to bring some padlocks and chain, reckon Liz lives in a dodgy area? :running:

[Stuart42]

Glad you calrified that

[granite785]

maybe we should let Grant lead, hes got his new 'badge' now! :spin: Funny !!! I never actually got a badge, got a beanie hat though and an air freshener of all things!

I hear he's sewn it to his Sam Brown belt?
:chuckle: Its a full vest that flies open at 70ish (but I never go any faster)

Hopefully the next time I use the bike it wont **** down. Hope to see you all at the Xmas/NY meet

[uksurfer]

don't worry Grant, it will be cold and bright, nice and sunny, its all planned! :)
have you done your tail chop yet? :scratch:

[Gutsy]

Hi everyone. Never having been on a Monster ride yet, I'd love to make this one, so weather permitting, will see you at the White Hart.

As the Aussies say, happy crissy to one and all.

Cheers
Gutsy

[uksurfer]

that will be good gutsy, look forward to meeting you, also having one on the 29th december if you'd like to come along! :thumbsup:

[Liz]

he he, hope to get a good turn out, might have to bring some padlocks and chain, reckon Liz lives in a dodgy area? :running:

Oi, shut up you - I live in a very quiet road! Anyway, you said you might not be able to make it now - is that cos you're scared?! :chuckle::chuckle:

[uksurfer]

scared of getting my bling nicked by the local asbo gang :running:

[Liz]

scared of getting my bling nicked by the local asbo gang :running:

I work in the local secondary school and type all the exclusion letters! I know who's naughty and nice, and none of the naughty ones live near me!!! And if they did, they'd have to watch out - I'm tough I am!!! :chuckle:

[Liz]

Sunday 24th Jan? Oooer, haven't I got something happening that weekend? :chuckle:

Can we start to compile a list of who might be there (car or bike), so I know what I need to buy (and save up for!! Who's stupid idea was this? ;) )!

His 'metcheck' always seems to be wrong! It said snow last tme - well there wasn't any snow but it didn't say there's no cafe's open, LOL!!!

Our Hants + honarary Wilts, Somerset and whoever meets are always fun! We just like to try and meet once a month by whatever means! If you have access to a car, don't worry about coming in that - it is January!!!

[Gamsa]

Yep, car's looking the most likely at the moment.

[Liz]

[MrsC_772]

Andy & I should be up for it (weather permitting).

We're both fed up with the ice and slush preventing us getting the bikes out at the moment. Andy's usually up for bacon butties.

He got me a bottle of FS365 for Christmas so will clart Monster liberally with it before making it brave the great outdoors, in the hope that I don't have to spend as long lying on the garage floor scraping crud off the underside of the engine after the next ride out.

We're all fed up with the ice and slush and not getting out on the bikes! It's gonna be weeks after the 'thaw' for the roads to get clean, and the potholes??? Don't get me started! Come in the car otherwise, just for the get-together!!

[uksurfer]

i'll be there! :)

[Liz]

i'll be there! :)

Hooray! OGL :hail:

(But now I've lost count!!!)

[Stafford]

As long as it's dry cured bacon and ketchup count me in, not that water filled crap from Denmark.

[uksurfer]

yeh, we want thick cut bacon, and 'salt and pepper' bread from tesco's, yummy :mand:

[Liz]

Oh, any other requests?!!

[uksurfer]

yep, slightly warmed butter on them, no sauce for me thanks, just a little black pepper :spin:

[Stafford]

Mmmmm... full English, well if no tomatoes, beans or sprouts they both have the same effect. :didge:

You'll get bacon rolls if you're lucky! Stafford won't get any ketchup!

i bet your wishing you'd never suggested 'Breakfast at Liz's' :mand:

[Liz]

Erm, well yes!!! I can possibly cook more than bacon rollls but only if I know in advance!!! I really don't think I should ask for orders! :eek:

Maybe attendees should bring me a bottle of Pinot Grigio each as compensation! ;)

BTW, aren't I supposed to be doing a BBQ after the 'Calne Bike Day' in July(?). I haven't even got a BBQ!! Will accommodate whatever/whoever! I do have some floor/spare room/settee space! (Not as much as MrsC 772) by the sound of it!

OMG!

[chris yeatman]

Maybe attendees should bring me a bottle of Pinot Grigio each as compensation! ;)

ur only need the one bottle :drunk:

[uksurfer]

you'll have to have your noebook and pen at the ready, maybe numbered tables would be a good idea :idea:

[chris yeatman]

[Liz]

Oh Chris, you are funny! NOT!

Martin, I have one table, with 4 chairs, and the cat sits on one of them! I do have a notebook and pen, (like that's gonna make any difference!).

can i have a table next to a window, so i can keep a eye on my bike. lol

Yes Chris but you might have to fight Mabel for it (and believe me, she will win, I have the scratches and bite marks to prove it!).

[Stuart42]

As you may recall, I'm rather partial to a spot of black pudding and bubble & squeak, if you happen to have any.

Well Stuart, I do recall, but funnily enough, won't have either of those (especially the black pudding!). And cos I never cook a roast any more, don't have any leftover greens and potato for bubble & squeak (always used to be a Monday favourite with cold meat and pickles too! Mmmm!).
So bacon rolls it is, and, maybe a surprise in store if the weather's good! ;)

[uksurfer]

see you at Stockbridge at 10.00, if anything changes check on here before leaving!
i'll be at Ower services at 9.30 too if any want to meet there?

[S4Rs MacK]

Looks like the roads are drying nicely, so have coated the bike in FS 365, fitted the rear pillion pegs and dusted my kit off.
My lovely wife Jill is coming with me tomorrow, so we will see you all at Liz's around 11:30, ride safe all.

See you tomorrow.

[Liz]

Went out for a spin today - roads nice and dry. Just had to watch out for the potholes and idiots slamming their brakes on in front of me - glad the S2R's got good brakes! :eek:

Look forward to seeing you all tomorrow! BTW, the menu is bacon rolls or toast and tea and coffee!!

[MrsC_772]

Looking forward to it.

Andy & I will head straight for Calne, rather than detouring via Stockbridge first.

Andy spent the afternoon in the garage fitting heated grips to the Fazer, so he will no doubt arrive toasty warm and smug, while I will need the cup of tea to hold to defrost my fingers.

[granite785]

Hope you all have a great rideout and breakfast. I'm sat at work fixing circuits. I know where I would rather be though...maybe next month.

[Gamsa]

Thanks Liz!

[MrsC_772]

You will be relieved to hear I got home without dropping the bike for the 3rd time in one day.

Hope everyone else got back ok. Not sure where you all went between leaving Calne and arriving in Hungerford - apologies if anyone wanted to follow us to find the way! I assume you all stopped for fuel in Hungerford - as that garage was the scene of my second outbreak of klutzishness today, I didn't want to stop there again myself!)

Thanks again to Liz for feeding us and Stafford for sous-cheffing: maybe they should start making UKMOC aprons! Andy says thanks for the bacon butties.

Thanks also to Chris for tinkering with my suspension to lower the ride height.

When we got home, I let Andy take the Monster round the block and he said he was not surprised I had trouble stopping and pulling away at junctions as my back brake was entirely cosmetic. (I had warned him about the back brake - I don't think he quite believed me!) His verdict - he prefers riding his bike, but looking at mine!

[Gutsy]

Thanks to Martin, Chris and Adam for allowing me to join them for the ride to Calne. It was really good to ride through new countryside for me. Liz a very big thank you for opening your doors to us all - you're a brave one accommodating us all! Glad I'm not the only ditzy girl to drop my bike but let's hope that's all done now for the year ahead.

Now I need some Termis to become a proper Monster!!

Cheers
Gutsy

[Liz]

Hey guys,
Great to see you all today and a good turnout for January!
Mrs C, you didn't have to worry about dropping your bike for the 3rd time, cos I dropped mine instead (at the end of my own road - how embarrassing is that!).
Thanks to Adam who was unfortunate enough to be behind me and had to help me pick the bike up!!! One broken front brake lever and one idiot!!!! Carried on with the ride anyway up the A34 roundabout and back, only to find Chris and Alison picking up bits of Adam's bike?!!!
What are we doing in Feb?????!!!!!!!!!!!:biggrin:

Hey Albie,
It wasn't quite the 'catering industry', it was our UKMOC Hant/Wilts/Somerset meet for Jan. A get-together for a bit of brekkie and a chat!! LOL!
