October 17th Box Hill

[uksurfer]

Weather permitting, we will be holding a little ride out to Box Hill on the 17th October
We will meet at the Shell Station at Winnall at 10.00 am (A34/M3 junction) and then proceed to box for about 12.00, for a light lunch.
Invite open to all areas, and would love to see some others there.

(hopefully the Kenties could organise a run up to meet us?)


Cheers
Martin :ukm:

[MrsC_772]

I won't be able to make this one as I'm heading to Benson's in NE London to have my bike cleaned properly and then coated with ACF50 in the hope it won't rot over winter.

Not sure about Andy (he's not booked in for ACF50ing).

[Gamsa]

I'm in - meet you at Winnall. You mean the petrol station on the way into the trading estate just off the Winnall roundabout, I take it?

[barbican]

Yep

Remind me again nearer the time though

[granite785]

Stick me down as well.

[Char]

and me - me me

[Albie]

Will try to pop along mate.:biggrin:

[Gutsy]

Nice back roads so count me in!

[walpole68]

Should have my new wheels by then so a good run out to run in would be good.

[Mr Free Market]

Up for an autumnal run ... if its not raining ... too cold etc etc

[JerryT]

I could possibly be up for that. It's likely I will still be running the new bike in. What's the route?

Dont worry - Martin only goes as fast as the slowest rider (well on the way there anyway) :dizzy:

[Gordon H]

I'll be doing the "dad" bit that weekend so looks like I'll have to give this one a miss...........

[uksurfer]

5:21???? What kind of ungodly hour is that????

up and out Gordon! Rally was on line too i think! :biggrin:

[Gordon H]

up and out Gordon! Rally was on line too i think! :biggrin:

I was on my way to Bristol / Exeter by 5:30........ at desk in Bristol by 07:00!!

Thought Iwas the only one daft enough to be up at that time in the a.m. :dizzy:

[uksurfer]

Dont worry - Martin only goes as fast as the slowest rider (well on the way there anyway) :dizzy:

i am the slowest rider!

[Gordon H]

i am the slowest rider!

Thought that was my job......... :confused:

[Mr Free Market]

5:21???? What kind of ungodly hour is that????

On that basis, just after 0700 doesnt even register !!!! I did get up at just before five thirty this morning. Promise

[Hari]

I might 'pop' down for this one, now I know where it is - weather permitting of course

[Grumpy]

I planning to make this meet, see you guys there.

[AndyC_772]

Not sure about Andy (he's not booked in for ACF50ing).

Not much point in putting ACF50 all over a bike that already has over 30k miles' worth of salt corrosion on it... my bike might be in good shape mechanically, but it's never going to win any show & shine prizes!

I'll be up for a ride out if it's not pouring with rain, though - would someone be kind enough to let me know the address of where we're meeting up please?

Hi Duncan

Cheers
Stuart

[uksurfer]

[PedroII]

I would like to come weather permitting (forecast seems to be good) , anyone from london heading that direction?

Hi Pedroll

I know Monsark600 was talking of going, he's in Islington, so maybe worth PMing him.

Hope to see you there

Cheers

Most are heading out to meet around Midday Duncan. Thats 12:00 to some:D

[uksurfer]

Dont want someone nearly running out......:D

[Gordon H]

By the time you lightweights escape from your pits and make for Winnall for 10:00 - some of us will have been up and out for hours making the most of the empty roads...... :D so yep, I'll prob have to refill me tank - for the 7 mile run back home :hissy:

(I'll make sure Stuart fills up at Andover!! - oooh what a giveaway.....)

[Qba]

I would like to come weather permitting (forecast seems to be good) , anyone from london heading that direction?

Hi Pedro, I might popped in for a quick cup of coffee. Mind you I wouldn't like to leave London later than 11 as I'll be heading to work from Box Hill.

Hi Qba,
11.00 is ok for me, never been boxhill but assuming takes about an hour from central?
Let me know if you're up for it/meeting point.

Tried pm Monsark600 but doesn't seem to be the correct username?

[Rally]

Brrrr, we have had a good frost here, out with the winter gloves I think! It's going to be a lovely day though. See you all later. :)

[uksurfer]

nice day here too, think the thermals may get an outing! :look:

[gary tompkins]

Dry and sunny in Dartford - see you in a couple of hours

[Rally]

Just got back home, nice to meet you all again and what some weather for the time of year eh? Well done to all who ventured out on this sunny but cool day. :)

[AndyC_772]

What a great day for a ride out - loads of bikes out there, dry roads, bright sunshine, and my engine definitely likes the cold, dense air :)

[Gamsa]

Cheers all. I enjoyed the blat with Stu and you've got a nice road on the way into Farnborough, Andy :spin:

[chris yeatman]

hey all,
just got back, lovely day, all be it a little cold
good to catch up with every one again and also to meet up with the newbees
hot bath with a cider to warm up.
hope u all got home safe.

cheers
chris

[Albie]

We got home about 20 mins ago. We took the slow way back via Trossley country park for another coffee and cake and a 30min sit down. Really enjoyed today other tham me dropping my 1year old lid breaking the top plastic air flow piece. The shells all ok but it looks cr4p and p1ssed me off.

Great turnout of UKMOC though and never had time to look at all the bikes.

[Gordon H]

Glad you guys had a good run over from Winchester - you've no idea how much hard work it was peeling off at West Meon and heading back home ....... :banghead:

[AndyC_772]

PMSL :) I couldn't possibly condone describing a public highway in that manner... ;)

[chris yeatman]

always next time gord!!! :running:

[buzzbomb]

Glad all you guy's had a great ride and returned home safe, I've been in bed all day feeling sh1te..:thumbsdown:

[uksurfer]

Great meet today, really good to see alot of members braving the chill to get out on there bikes.
A few newbies too which is always promising, even had some 'northerners' brave the cold to come down and meet us.
Always like the more central meets, to bring the regions closer together!
Many thanks to everyone who turned up, its a lovely ride there and back for us Hampsters!
Managed to get home in time for stew and dumplings!!!!!!
:ukm:

[rollo22]

Great day out,
Good to catch up with you all and to meet a few new faces.

[gary tompkins]

Nice to see everyone today. Not sure what final tally at boxhil was, but we must have had 20+ bikes there today

A great effort by all - top marks :thumbsup:

Char hope you are feeling better soon - you looked like you were really suffering

[alan c]

Great day out, good weather and a great turn out :yoparty:

[Grumpy]

At home infront of the log fire, warming up.!

Great day out, cracking ride up from meeting up with guys this morning.
Good to see some old faces and to meet some new ones.

[Char]

Thanks for all the PM's wishing me well - I should have been sensible and stayed at home :o but hey ho - probably last ride of the year

Better clear out my front room ....

[Char]

Glad all you guy's had a great ride and returned home safe, I've been in bed all day feeling sh1te..:thumbsdown:

Hope your better soon!

[Gamsa]

PMSL had to look that one up.

[He11cat]

Hope you had a great time in my old neck of the woods... :)

The disgraceful East Anglians.. we are sorry..(and pretend ones like me).
We got sidetracked by tape worm with rigamortis vodka and ginger beer and stuff... and I got to sleep at last in the magic bed that makes me sleep... we had a boozy meet up sorry..

I rode home in the cold on my nagasaki 125 .. so did share the cold with you today!!
Glad you had a good time.
We will go back to our naughty but fun corner now :):yoparty:

Oh and I found the Dutch people!!

[TCar153]

Good to be able to give me Monster a run out today, just enough of a blast to clear the condensed milk off the sightglass officer. Good chatting to Pedro2 too. Wished i had got there earlier to practice my dire social skills with all the other Monsterers but then i was up all night watching fairly dire MotoGP. Thanks for bringing the sun with you yet again Martin. Suspect that will have been my last trip till next year now. Sighs*

[wetsump]

Good to meet up with you all again yesterday for an excellent run through to Box Hill, though a few of us (who'd never been there before) managed a minor detour through Dorking town centre on the way there.. A cool start to the day didn't spoil the fun of a nice road and excellent weather, though why do I always get penned in behind the unnecessarily slow cars on the really 'interesting' bits of road.
Only disappointment for me was Stu pointing out that one of my front fork seals had sprung a leak during the ride back to Andover. I managed to get home without getting oil onto the brakes, but I guess it means I'll be off the road until that is fixed - and I fit a new rear tyre which is now worn below leagl limits.. :(
Looking forward to seeing you all again sometime soon..

[scrapps]

We had a nice ride and great day (thanks Caroline for the hot choc and cake on way home) and you did not make me park the Multi on the other side of the car park.
Great to see so many monsters out on a run this late in the year. :D
Told my Father I was going to Box hill and he told me that he use to race his KTT Velocette up the hill (55 years ago)

[Hari]

even had some 'northerners' brave the cold to come down and meet us.
:ukm:

Would you be referring to me and Katie? Just to point out we're not 'northerners' we’re from somewhere in the middle :)

It was great to catch up with everyone; I know Katie enjoyed meeting everyone. It was a lot warmer the last time we met at Box Hill on-route to Belgium!..

We had a cracking ride back up and took some southern sunshine back with us

See you all next year

Chris

[Stuart42]

[QUOTE=Hari;367243]Would you be referring to me and Katie? Just to point out we're not 'northerners' we’re from somewhere in the middle :)

Sorry North of 'The' river so afraid you're Northeners.

Good to see you both, and a ZXR400, a bike that has given me some of the best times, and the face I now have.

Cheers
Stuart

[JerryT]

Just a quick one -
Thanks guys for letting me join in yesterday! Had a great ride in excellent weather for this time of year (a bit cold at first, but then got quite comfy thanks to the sun...). Got home fine despite the dazzling low sun and then collapsed on the sofa with a nice drink (after cleaning the bike of course). What some of you won't know is that on Saturday night I drove most of the same route (out to Horsham & back) to get to a dance with my other half!
Anyway, it was good to see you all and glad I was able to keep up, despite having to keep checking I did't over-rev the motor during the run-in period. See you guys before too long, hopefully.

BTW, hope you're better soon, Char!

Took a few photos, if anyone's interested:

Nice pics - getting better by the day, who knows I may be able to go to the pub soon :D

Thanks to all for a good run out to Boxhill. They are some great roads, that just egg you on to ride faster and take chances! It was a damn good effort on UKMOC's behalf and see the Kenties represented, Hari and Kati and even Grumpy from the bitter far North, was a superb effort. Just proves what a phenomenal club UKMOC is..... thanks to all regional team leaders who make it happen.
