Breakfast Meeting on October 16th at the Hilltop

[Rally]

Hi All,
Looking at the scheduled events we have between now and the Christmas meal (TBA) I thought we ought to put a date in the diary for a Brekkie meet again. I have put the Hilltop unless anyone really wants to change the venue and meet at Marlborough or somewhere else again. Most of us will be up early that day anyway to watch the Moto GP from Australia! Who's up for it then?

Desmo haskindly pointed out that it is the "Hogging of the Bridge" on that day also. This was started about 6 years ago as a mass Harley meeting at Magor services on the M4 to ride accross the old Severn Bridge. Today, apparently it is for all makes of bikes. Is everyone happy with the Hilltop meet, or does anyone wish to change the venue?

[desmo]

I thought it might be an ok event, I suggested it to Roz & she is not keen, so we have no problem with a brekki @ Hilltop.
what time are you meeting there?

[Stuart42]

Must admit think a brekkie at Hilltop would be good. Possibly some would like a ride out after if do able?

[Char]

Yes ride out sounds good weather permitting

[Rally]

10.30am is the normal time there, so lets go for that again. Ride out sounds good.

No Jen, I'm south of Devizes now so will head down the A360 through tilshead and shrewton

Ped

[Rally]

If people want to ride down together from the Devizes direction, how about 9.20am at the school entrance by the Green? We can meet Pedro on the side of the road in his village then.

Sounds like a plan! Text me when you leave Devizes and I'll be ready-ish!!

[IanB]

I'm riding with some mates on Sunday & have persuaded them that the Hilltop is the place to be, so hope to see some of you there.

I'm on a Monster dark cafe & the group will include a Multi, a sport classic & something called a KTM.

We will be leaving from Marlborough about 9.30.

See you there!

I will deffo be coming now as Rally has secured my new project Yamaha Xt500 now and picking up tomorrow afternoon. In a years time or less I will be able to try the muddy stuff myself. Always been envious of the muddy UKMOC brigade

I will be there too - you will be able to see the EVO in the flesh.

I would if I had your number Pete! We will wait by the closed down pub (Is it the Wheatsheaf?) at about 9.40am for you. You will hear me!

Thank god for local heroes.


No DT50 just a XT500 instead.
Sometimes God smiles down on you and sometimes he sh1ts on you. Amen :mand::mand::mand:

See thee on the morrow, kindly sir!

Speaking to Martin earlier - The cafe have been asking for UKMOC pics for their website - if we have the expected turn out and the weather is kind, we may try and get a couple of pics with the bikes lined up across the front of the cafe....... once breakfast has been consumed of course!! :mand:

[pegboy]

I eil be there also sonic anyone's heading out from north london or along the route somewhere let me know but I do need to leave by 11am I'm afraid

[slob]

8am Ace Cafe

[pegboy]

Ha just read again what I posted beer wine and port is no a good combination especially when on the iPhone
See ya tomorrow

[MrsC_772]

Might make it - have spent the day revising for next exam (boo hiss) so have earned a plate of pancakes.

Tip for Hilltop newbies - don't order whatever I order, as I normally have to wait 3 times as long as anyone else for my food to arrive. I seem to somehow jinx the kitchen with my awkward choices.

[Rally]

I will be bringing a selection of the new style lazer cut UKMOC Stickers with me, so ask me if you want some. They are £1.00 each. :thumbsup:

[singletrack]

I will be at the pub in Stockbridge at 10 am if anyone wants to meet there

[SunEye]

Have a great meet tomorrow. I wish I could find the time to be there, but my recording/rehearsal studios can't redecorate and build acoustic treatment themselves. Until it's done I won't earn any money 'cos I can't have customers in until the work is done. So for now it's all day every day at the studios until it's done. I haven't had time to go out on the bike for 2 weeks :grump:

I'd worry more about the "jinx of the cafe exit" - always ready to catch out the unwary.......

That's a bit early for a drink Anne!

What a great turnout today! Thanks to all that came and made it what it was. It was the first showing of Uksurfer's new 796 as well. Nice one mate.
We were also spoiled with both past and present Club Presidents attending and some fantastic weather.

[Rally]

Now time to watch this mornings rugby match, Guinness at the ready!

[uksurfer]

Thanks, glad you like the bike, its still running in so will be a while till i can run along proper, up to 150 miles now, so a quarter way there :)

It felt good to attend a monster meet on a monster again

Super turn out today, one of the best attended of the year, still need to get the cafe sorted with the free drinks properly though.

Hope you all got home safe, and that you all stayed warm........

:ukm:

Good turnout, I counted 18 Monsters. Nice to catch up with faces old and new.

Good to see so many Monnies out in the sunshine!

[desmo]

Good to see you all again.
Sorry we couldn't stay too long, I am working nights at the mo so I had to get back home by just after lunch.

Great to see such a good turnout so late in the year.

Just had a hot bath and finally warm again. Good turn out Sorry could not stay around longer Stuart thanks again for the bag.

You should have tried the Ducati 'Flow' jacket with air holes and Summer gloves this morning! That was a little chilly............... :eek:

[Gordon H]

Have to have my internal thermostat checked - I was perfectly warm enough in tee shirt under jacket - and had to get the jacket off as I was getting too hot.......

(wonder what some of you will do when the real cold weather hits!!) :chuckle:

Got a few nice pics which have either been emailed to individuals, sent to Hilltops website or stuck up on FB......

Nice to hear you pulled the plug on another Monnie.
Now what you want to do after the service, is get yourself to somewhere to get the ECU remapped for better running and a couple of extra horses. :)

[Stuart42]

Hi all

good to see so many of you, especially the London chaps, for turning up and London chapess for staying somewhere near sober.

Hope to see some of you for our Christmas meal?
