Blimey, your eating people !

[Shuffy]

Are you getting tired of Jeeves' Shergar Burgers?

[J.P]

I'm pretty sure that with all the sausages and burgers I've eaten in my life it's probably included a whole herd of horses. :)

[pegboy]

Is this not the same day as the tunnel run??

[J.P]

The Kent Crew haven't been big fans of the tunnel run in the past and so it isn't a big conflict.
Driving from Kent into central London to ride through crap traffic wasn't on the top of everyone's list.
Though I could be proved wrong by a rush of Kent acceptances :)

[pegboy]

theres always a first :D

[alan c]

Not much responce ! Where are all the Kenties ??

[Shuffy]

I'm here! Looking forward to Sunday, I'll get my snow shoes ready...

[gary tompkins]

I'll be at Micky's diner - possibly on trike depending on weather forecast

Won't be on rideout as I'm playing Badminton Sunday afternoon

[J.P]

I'll be at Mickey's nearer to 9.30 if anyone fancies an early brekkie as I need to be home by 12 to prepare lunch for guests.
I'm gagging to get out on the bike if it's anywhere near ok weather. :)

[scrapps]

I hope to make it on the monster (if it passes MOT Saturday)
See ya 9:30/10 ish

[He11cat]

Do you hit Rykers often?
I like to pop down once in a while is one of my secret haunts :)

[uksurfer]

have a word with Rally about the rykas, could maybe tie up a multi-county meet there in the summer

[gary tompkins]

I would suggest an initial meet at Rykas, then move off as a group to a local pub for lunch nearby

possibly somewhere like this...

We used the Royal Oak for a big DSC meet (via Rykas) back in about 2007, and it's where the attached picture of my trike was taken

Rykas is an 'ok meet' in my book but gets very overcrowded during summer and is lacking on facilities

[Akita Boy]

I'll be at Mickeys at 10ish, may or may not be on the bike depending on if it ever stops raining. First time, so looking forwards to it.

[gary tompkins]

Forecast is looking a bit better for Sunday - rain should clear Maidstone area by 7am

[Akita Boy]

Here's hoping! My iPhone is still predicting a very optimistic 19 degrees and sunny

[Shuffy]

See you all tomorrow, it's going to be Mankini hot! (OK that's unlikely, but bring it anyway)

[He11cat]

Mankini hot???? Is this some Kent ritual I know not of ?

Rykers meet another time with a bunch from different areas would be good.
Lack of facilities ??
That's luxury compared to poxy places I've been to recently!
Which had NO toilets .
I was told to nip into the trees but I pointed out that there was NO leaves yet !!
Bloody cheek!

[Scott1]

I'll be there, just got to remember how to get to Micky's.

[scrapps]

Monster not happy and will need a visit to Alec at pro team so will be on the ss today.
Don't think the monster liked such a long time in the garage :thumbsdown:

[gary tompkins]

Good to see everyone at the café today - banter was top notch as always

Hope the ride out went ok for those that took part this afternoon

[Akita Boy]

Cheers Kenties for making a new boy so welcome. Hopefully my rustiness through the bends wasn't too much of a bind during the jaunt down to the coast in the sunshine!

See you all next time.

Nice to meet you Ian, pleased you had a good time.

we had a good run down to a very busy Hastings, great sunshine and good banter as usual, and Shuffy behaved himself !

[scrapps]

Great to see everyone at the cafe today the little ss had a good run out and I also managed to get the Monster running again after its long stay in the garage.
Hopefully the monster will get to proteam and have a service before the weekender.
See you all at the weekender if not before . . . :yoparty:

[Scott1]

That was great today, I was gutted I missed the tunnel run but really enjoyed it, top banter, nice to meet Ian, only second time out with the Kenties and feel like I've known them for longer, friendly bunch, worth the taking the effort to get to know. Nice bimble to Hastings which got the old brain working a bit, roads were wet, dry, wet, a bit muddy, wet, dry and wet again, look forward to the next one, will try and book Sammmy Miller museum July meet in.

[Shuffy]

Nice to meet you Ian, pleased you had a good time.

Behave myself??? I always behave myself, just not very well that's all...

Good grief, what was that strange yellow disc on the sky, I believe the locals call it 'the sun'. Never seen it myself before now.

Anyway a great day today, splendid breakfast banter as usual and always good to catch up with everyone, followed by a cracking little route down to Hastings (thanks Al for leading). Great to see Scott down from the smoke and new boy Ian, great to have you along, hope you enjoyed the run as much as we did. Sneaked a solo run back through some pretty deserted lanes, a little winter rusty but great fun.

[J.P]

I had a great laugh as always and nice to see everyone after my many holidays have kept me away from the breakfast meet. Nice to see you Ian.

I made Emma feel guilty all day for booking for friends to come over on my UKMOC day !
