For those of us who are not going to WDW i thought we would arrange a rideout to Brighton. Albie has told me there is a nice pub at Findon that does a great breakfast, we will check it out and may meet up with others for breakfast and then ride into Brighton.

Post up if you are interested and we will arrange meeting points etc nearer the time.

Thanks

The Pub is called John Henry's and here is the address and map.

John Henry's
The Forge
Nepcote Lane
Findon
Worthing

Its slightly the other side of brighton but not far at all. If anyone knows of a better breakfast then tell us before. Its hard to beat for food.

Just a thought is we can cross country most of it but on way home we could go via lewes and up past sheffield park and via ashdown forest , edenbridge etc back through sevenoaks and oxted and farningham.

Thanks looks a bit like one that was at the mill :scratch:
Its sadly going to be up for sale very soon :hissy: cant keep 3 bikes and the multi will be more practical (omg what am I thinking practical over looks)

Stuart42

26-05-2010, 02:56 PM

It does. I mean what sort of clown turns up to a Monster do on an SS?

It's a bit rash selling a bike, think long and hard before you do.

Cheers

Trust me I will be using it for a bit while the monster is being sorted. plus will only sell to a good home if I cant find a way to keep it.
Who would be so rude to take a ss to a monster do ?

UK Surfer - Will try and come too if you let me know route / time

Albie

26-05-2010, 06:41 PM

Its at least an hours ride from me and thats at legal motorway speeds so it needs to be fairly early. I dont want to get brekkie much after 11.00 as I will be starved.

I reckon meet at 9.15 somewhere central to the route. I can piece something together unless you have an idea already Alan.

If you want to hack down motorway you can leave later.
Best thing is maybe I meet some guys at pickup point (1) which I say the roundabout nr Nells cafe which goes to the rail service place at 9.00. Then we meet at pickup point (2)Farningham at the junction near the Pied Bull. We can then go down through Oxted and River along the A25. Through Westerham and then head down towards East Grinstead turning right back along to Crawley. Maybe pick up the m23 for 2 junctions then turn off for Horsham and A24 down to Findon.

What do you think ??

chris yeatman

26-05-2010, 06:56 PM

yeah should be ok for this as long as nothings planned.

Alan c - Pied bull ?

Albie

08-06-2010, 07:24 PM

Well yes of course I can get you there. I may go a bit of country/main road though. Some bits are just too long and slow to get there. The ride home can be longer if you want.

Looking forward to Sunday, not sure about weather yet.

I need to confirm on Saturday evening, I need to get the security on my new garage sorted and I might need Sunday to finish off. Would have been finished last weekend had my drill not expired shortly after starting.

Just remembered that one of the services on the M2/A2 was being demolished when I rode past on the way to Nells last time, if it was Cobham is there anywhere to stop now?

Andy just go past the services and pull off at the nells turn off but Dont go over to nells. Just turn a bit left and safely park somewhere.

AlanC can we meet you at the Vauxhall garage WJ Kings and Not at the pied bull turn off so Stevoo knows where to go. 9.15

11-06-2010, 07:48 AM

Hi Albie, thats fine, to confirm, the garage on the roundabout at Farningham ?

Looking forward to getting out on the Duke.

steeevvvooo

11-06-2010, 08:34 AM

I think I can get to the Pied Bull, just checked the map and it's strightforward enough. Probably easier than WJ Kings, as there were about 20 entries on google maps?!:banghead:

Pied Bull at 9.15 then?

12-06-2010, 03:05 PM

See you all at Pied bull 9.15 :mand:

BigOz

12-06-2010, 04:03 PM

Got the locks and ground anchor sorted in the new garage so I will be free tomorrow, reading back through the posts it looks like 09:00 at the Cobham/Nells exit roundabout meeting point.

Andy

I'm on my way back from the bbq, relatively sober, and looking forward to tomorrow.

I'll be at the pied bull for 9.15

Hi guys, I'm gonna tag along tomorrow if that's okay. I'll get to the Pied Bull for 9:15 too - I'm on a 900 dark with high level pipes. First ride out for me so imagining a million bikes to swarm round me. My girlfriend and mates have already joked about me dropping the bike and being the Rob Green of the UKMOC...

Can someone tell me how to download an image onto here?

Panther

13-06-2010, 06:17 PM

-and good photo's too.

Rally you need a photo account to upload them onto the internet first.

if you have a gmail account your can use picasa for photo's

if you have yahoo, you can use flicker.

there is also photobucket.

once you done that I will tell you how to do the rest or just post a link to them :)

Hi,

Just got home, had a another good day out. Good to meet a few more members and see everyone else again.

Thanks Albie for leding and reccomending the Pub for breakfast.

First I want to thank all those who came on average 90 miles each way and some you can add another 50 to some. A meeting of 4 countys on a lovely summers day. My day started of nearly being killed and my caroline too when a woman driver decided to pull into the side of me on the A2. Not enough for her when I swerved and got off the gas she then proceeded to go across another lane in sheer panic no doubt and try to embed another car into the barriers. Lucky to be alive I calmly got to grips with reality of being alive and decided not to chase and give her some verbal.
We all had a nice ride down some lanes on to Findon only attacking the motorway for 2 junctions. A nice breakfast was recieved and I hope you pleased with my choice of venue.

Ride home was a wee boring and slow at times but I did still enjoy it.
Alas I picked up a puncture fairly near to home as I failed to be able to steer round the corners. I got home just but tyre is very soft. Not on the rim but will not turn on tarmac easily.

Some pictures on here. Caroline took the pics and some contain nudity and some are not that nice . Be warned LOL

Thanks for getting this together Alan we both enjoyed it. Long way but worth it. I did think of going a different way home but unsure if you guys just wanted your pipes and slippers.:D

Next is speedway or we doing a midweeker ???

Thanks to Albie for leading, hope tyre ok ?

A great day out! Full English Breakfast, (thanks so much to the staff at John Henry's at Findon who weren't expect 20 bikers!). Ice cream at Brighton and a drink on the pier!!! 250 miles, the little Monster did well to keep up! I was knackered however!!!

I have to confirm my tyre has a cut in it.In between the tread. Will probs have to go for a new one as its not a nail hole. Wheels off ready to take to the tyre man so hopes it will be back on the road at weekend.

Really need to get a front paddock stand as its on single sider stand 2 axle stands and a hydraulic jack right now.:on::on::on::D

14-06-2010, 10:37 PM

Yes it was great a good two up bike. I did miss my monster and would have taken it if I could get it sorted.
still A few things to try before digging a big hole and throwing it in.(next to LIz62's i think):thumbsdown:

LOL! The 800 has been with Louigi Moto for a couple of weeks, as usual it hasn't developed a fault!! (It hates me!).

Great day, nice meeting you all. Thanks liz for the icecream.

When's the next one??

You're welcome Tom! Next UKMOC meet is next Sunday at George Whites in Swindon. Apart from that, keep an eye on the forum, or maybe we can organise some more multi-county meets! A great day yesterday! :biggrin:
