MOB Weekend 2013

[Albie]

Hi Guys and yes the UKMOC weekender has now happened and now sadly is done but the good news is we can do it all again in Belgium in September in our usual Hotel. So who is for coming this year because as we now know we have to get names down so we don't miss out on rooms. We over the last year never filled the hotel completely so be quick and you will only get that place if you book a crossing and that my friend is your deposit.

As far as I am aware its the back to normal third Sunday in September the 15th so the general consensus will be Saturday 14th to either Sunday or Monday the 16th. See you there then.



For the ones who have no idea of hotel heres a link

Carine said the Ducati N.Europe 'Dealer Day' may conflict, I'm sure she'll let us know as soon as it's finalised. Seems a shame if they force changes on such a well established event.

I'm up for it.

Maybe in the naughty corner though, :(

Blimey... this caught me out (thanks Shuffy) Thought Alan C was going to post up on MOB in a few weeks time?

From memory the B&B is limited to about 25-30 places, so it looks like it'll be a full house in no time

MoB have now amended their website to reflect the correct weekend with the 15th September for their Monsterdag.

[NewMon]

For the benefit of us possible MOB trip 'newbies', is there a link to the necessary information on ferries and costs? I presume you are all trying to book the same ferry?

Hi New Mon. Theres plenty of info on past threads to look at but the basis on what we do here is just like our weekender UK but just 2hrs ride over the channel. The room costs on average 55 euros per person per night inc breakfast. Rest of meals is extra but reasonable. Cost of ferry depends on which one but around £50 or slightly more on chunnel but its quicker. No one does anything specific its personal choice on whether you want train or ferry.

Rough guide
ferry £50 or tunnel need to look up
Hotel 2 nights 110-120 euros
Fuel for me from kent maybe £50 both ways
Beer and food and spending money

If you are interested whack your name down and we will get prices when we know we have interest that we do already.

[MrsC_772]

Was I hallucinating last night when I saw the MOB website claiming that this year's Monsterday was going to be on 22 September, or have the Belgians changed their plans?

I could make it if it was 22nd, but can't make the weekend of 13th-15th! Curses!

The Process has started and the emailing began. Please anything like suggestions etc please ask put forward openly. The Belgians also missed the silly fun party bit so suggestions on a theme for the hell of it.
There was also talk of trying to get to Buggenhout area dinnertime Saturday by TOM but have no idea why but whether you wish to is entirely up to you as we are adults and do as you please and see fit. Hmm that's up for discussion too.
It seems I have this again but it doesn't have to be crowbar'd away from me it can be given. Its always a pleasure this one and creates no problems or headaches like I expect Char and Martin and anyone who did Arrow Mill had.
Thanks for the great support.

[samieb]

Pencil me in too please? Once the date is confirmed, so can I. 22nd is better, but not sure I can do the earlier weekend.

Thanks

Albie,

Tom did talk about being able to do other things on the Saturday. Can't remember either, but said that we needed to be their by lunchtime to enjoy a full day out and make a weekend of it.

[gary tompkins]

It maybe because this year will be the Belgians 10th anniversary

They did tell me last September they were hoping to make it a special event in 2013

[J.P]

Tom had mentioned a Brewery tour for a bit to do on Saturday but the tours are at 12.00pm so would require people getting there pretty early, especially for a crossing.

[Zak]

I'm up for this, but only when the weekend date is confirmed.

can we leave the bikes in blighty and just get a sunshine coach?

they stole my idea for next year - pmsl

It is, it's the 15th.

I thought AlanC couldn't make it, or can he if on the coach?

[Albie]

Sadly and I really mean that is the news that Alan cannot come along as he booked a holiday due to the other date.

I have had a reply from Joris

Good evening Caroline & Andy,



As usual we’ve blocked all our rooms for the UKMOC-members from Saturday 14 till Monday 16 September 2013.



You can find our rates for UKMOC 2013 as an attachment. You’re paying the 2010-2011 rates and we also made a difference in single / double use.

Maybe we will have 8 instead of 9 double/twin charming rooms because of renovation works.



Do I keep all our rooms in option till the 1ste of July or do you already have a final guest-list?





With kind regards,





Joris De Pauw


So we are off and just need to get the places filled and decide who will really want to come and how you are travelling.

Prices are reduced to 2010/11 for UKMOC please note...

I'm interested in tagging along this year, but as you all probably know by now, my finances are limited.
However, I reckon that I can fund the basic trip by bringing back my legal quota of cheap tobacco.
B&B costs would scupper my plans though, so I'm wondering if there's any chance of finding somewhere to pitch a tent ? Somebody's back garden maybe, or even a quiet spot outside town where I could do a bit of guerrilla camping ?
Any suggestions of who to contact re. the above would be welcome.

However, I reckon that I can fund the basic trip by bringing back my legal quota of cheap tobacco.
B&B costs would scupper my plans though, so I'm wondering if there's any chance of finding somewhere to pitch a tent ? Somebody's back garden maybe, or even a quiet spot outside town where I could do a bit of guerrilla camping ?
Any suggestions of who to contact re. the above would be welcome.

[rollo22]

Has the Saturday itinerary been sorted.
Seem to remember that MOB had an idea for something on the Saturday.

[gary tompkins]

Not sure Duncan.. suggest firing off a PM to Sven or Jan?

Let us know if you get an update

[Jan (Belgium)]

Regarding the Saturday idea: what time do you plan to arrive at the hotel?
oh and make sure there something in your stomach if the idea is worked out - not too much though :)

They seemed fine about camping in the garden/field at the hotel in previous years - not sure about cost you may be as well to contact direct and ask

Albie is having trouble with his emails so has asked me to have a look at sorting the rooms with Joris.
Please book your train or ferry and confirm on list below, once ferry is booked you can be added to room list.
Others that have booked please let me know what room type you would like and if/who you would like to share with, I will then sort out the rooms.
We must let Joris know asap as he needs to let the rooms we will not be using.

Hope all above makes sense, if not reply on post or pm me.

Hi Carine,

Thanks :spin:

[Albie]

We really do need a simple fun theme this year for pure stupidity as it was noticed last year that we did not. May we think about it but obviously not something hard to carry. Maybe inflatable

[BigOz]

Where is GT with a picture when you need him?

Anyone know having a postage stamp sized number plate is likely to cause problems on the Chunnel? I know that they use ANPR's for cars, anyone know if they use a similar method for bikes?

Cheers.

I have a slightly smaller plate and not had a problem, you have to show your booking slip, think the plate reconition is for forward facing plates !

I think we should have a thread called "Challenge GT's picture ability" and we post a subject and see what he comes up with! We would have to have a rule where you cannot post a subject until the previous one has been responded to.

What do you think of that idea Gary?

I think it's likely to breach all firewall regulations !

Hi you guy's (and girls),
Happy to see so many of you come over this year, we were planning a visit to the Duvel brewery but as the last tour is at 2 pm we won't be able to make it. As a matter of fact I won't be able to join you on saturday as 2 of my friends are getting married and I have to eat and drink as much as possible on their expense :-)
Hoping to get out of bed in time on sunday but it won't be with the Monster as she will not be repared by then of being hit by a Japanees last week. Might bring the old superlight.
Hope to see you in a couple of weeks.

Tom.

[samieb]

Have fun Tom and hope things get sorted out soon.

So all these lucky people are coming along. That's another great attendance from UKMOC as per usual. TBH I was thinking of ducking out this year as solo and other reasons but I am now glad I am in the usual bunch of well supported events. We have all the rooms bar 1 which I have been told is now taken by one of Joris's regulars so that's also good news. Other news I have been told is that ALL the entrance road is now blocked paving too so no more gravel stuff.
Lets make this a good one and lots of fantastic smiley pics and fun stories and laughs. Don't forget your silly TIES or you WILL pay the penalty. Just for the evening opener on Saturday night. I have arranged some Stones music if the boys wish to entertain us if they feel up to it. Lets hope its sunshine all the way and no need to even consider wets. After last years torrent on the way home I do not wish a repeat again.
Plan is to all head for Eurotunnel and meet there so as everyone meet in the right place on time. If you plan to meet up before its up to you.
So 12 days and counting

Basic needs

Passport
Ticket booking
Euros
Breath test kit ( from Halfords around £7)
Bulbs unless in a group maybe
Clothes minimal casual, Tees, underwear, jeans, fleece. trainers and socks AND TIE
Basic Toiletries
Camera and charger
Sense of humour

[gary tompkins]

The breath test kit legislation has been dropped/postponed indefinitely now, as has the requirement for wearing hi vis vests in France after further mass protests.

[steeevvvooo]

So to be clear, there are no stupid rules (breath test and high viz, riding while patting your head and rubbing your stomach etc) that the French would like us to comply with?

Clothes, wallet, phone. The rest I can either buy or do without (famous last words!)

No idea about that one.

Well the bike has again changed colour again and in solo mode :mand::cry: Looking to get her shiney in the next few days as working solid until weekender so no breaks for 3 weeks and need to refuel her before. At least the weekend will be relaxed :rolleyes: maybe.
Tie is being manufactured now and phase 1 has started and now phase 2 has been ordered on Ebay and then can be assembled. Caroline likes it so that's good and I hope some of you will be impressed at least for effort.
So its 8 days to go now .....:mand:

Now do I take the camera and get into trouble again....

[Char]

being a Friday and all - decided to ask my work colleagues as to a novel tie suggestion

Not sure if they get it from me or me from them

[J.P]

Oh Char, how you've changed.............

[uksurfer]

Isn't there some reflective sticker on the helmet rule in France? Ignored it the last few times though.

i have also heard this, found this on the web....

it has to be dayglo orange, be 6x4, and must have the letters M.U.G. (motorcyclist unite group) written in marker pen neatly on it, and then fastened securely to the back of your helmet

see you there mate :thumbsup:

[Black Bob]

Almost as ridiculous as having to wear a ****ing tie on ****ing holiday. **** that.

[wendy lea]

I think you do have to have a reflective sticker front and rear, sides are optional, but I could be talking b*llocks, heads all over the place. My shark lid came with them to put on it

[Albie]

So is this France. Mind we aint in France long or far even. I will not bother as I don't see the point as have lights on anyhow. Interesting these different laws.

Hey my custom tie looks great. Maybe looks a bit Loud but I like it. I almost finished it but was a bit exhausted today. Just the finishing touches now.

[MOB Carine]

On Saturday evening, the 14th, a MOB delegation will be present to keep an eye on you. :look:

We expect you all on Sunday, fit and well to be prepared for a big MOB bike challenge in complete motor outfit. :moto:

The helmet sticker law has been in place in France for over 20 years, but rarely enforced up until now. There have been an increasing number of riders in Paris and other cities getting stopped and fined for non-compliance, but as yet no record of a UK visitor getting the same treatment. Not really keen to plaster my Bell helmet with crappy stickers at all, so I'll either not bother, find stickers that can be removed easily afterwards, or use my old Roof Boxer and sticker that instead. We won't be riding after dark so any reflective stickers will be useless in daylight anyway.

According to the link it's not bother or the roof boxer - "There is one more requirement which is that the stickers should not be removable without damaging the helmet"

Dem crazy French :confused:

[gary tompkins]

Yeah and they can poke that one where the sun don't shine

I'll make sure my stickers peel off ok... If I can be bothered with them at all

[Dirty]

Actually I'd like to see a sticker that is so strong it would 'damage' a helmet if removed! Not sure what that says about the quality of helmets there! :)

OK , FOR EVERYONE ON THE 'KENT CHUNNEL EXPRESS' AT 8.20 AM ON SATURDAY MORNING.

1) Check in closes at 7.50 am, don't be late. Be early.

2) FILL UP WITH PETROL before you get the train at Junction 11 on the M20 (if you're coming that way).

3) When you arrive after Check-in for the chunnel, go into the service centre and get yourself and cup of tea or coffee to warm up. We'll all congregate there.

Don't forget the credit card you booked your chunnel crossing with .

What about some day glow bonce boppers?
Can be seen all round ??
Get a pair to fit over your lid ?
Sorted !!! :) :)
Some balloons on your handlebars :)

Oh GT you get worse mate ..... :twak::twak::twak::D:D:D

Sad news I that due to illness Rally cannot come along. That means either another place for a room share or someone can have a double room. Be quick now to let us know.

Poor Rally. :(

PM sent.

[gary tompkins]

Gutted for him :(

On a more positive note... extra beer in the fridge for us :)

[J.P]

I'm packed and ready to go.
Getting very excited now. Apart from the weather , it's going to be a fun time.

[Rally]

Yeah, sorry not to be able to join you, but on the plus side I have some new sweeties to eat. I now have some steroids and antibiotics and the instruction of NO alcohol for at least a week!
Friday the 13th has come to haunt me for a whole week!

Have a great time one and all. If anyone going sees the clear indicator lenses for the new style Monster for sale again, can you grab me a couple please? :thumbsup:

[Black Bob]

T minus whatever it is....

[jonzi]

I have waterproof troosers or a suit you can borrrow if you like

What time you leaving? I am at home all night tonight

[slob]

Thanks mate but don't worry about it, I'd be away with the fairies if I thought I could get into a pair of your trousers these days

[jonzi]

I am pretty sure they are elasticated

I'll dig em out and check after pizza has been delivered and eaten

[Albie]

I have a waterproof suit but cannot find the gloves now. Doh !!

[alan c]

Just got back from Wales, packed now and ready for great weekend.

[buzzbomb]

Hope you all have a great weekend...:booze::booze::booze::drunk:

I'm afraid I won't be attending this year...:banghead:

[chris yeatman]

Sorry im not with you all, stay safe every one.

[Albie]

Sorry im not with you all, stay safe every one.

Will you ever come along Chris ?? Also that Gordon bloke never comes and Deano.

Shame your not coming Geoff but we will raise a glass mate or two even

[scrapps]

Have a good trip folks. got back to uk @ 5:30 am so don't think I will be joining you.:grump:

[chris yeatman]

Will you ever come along Chris ??

I did 3 years ago.

[Dirty]

Have a great weekend everyone

[gary tompkins]

We did... and some still are. I'll host some picture via flicker later in the week. Plenty up on facebook already

Got home about 6.30 and put the bike to bed just before it chucked it down. My clutch started slipping badly on the ride back but managed to limp home ok in the end. Despite a very soggy start on Saturday it was a fantastic weekend. The tie competition went down a storm, and Joris and co. at the hotel really looked after us again. Thanks to all those that attended for making it one of the best MOB weekends ever. Looking forward to visiting Belgium again 2014 already

DONKEY!!!

[rollo22]

Was a grand Week End.
Thanks for all who sorted the w/e.

[Black Bob]

Great couple of days with some fab people. That beer stuff is quite nice too.

Thanks to everyone involved.

[Akita Boy]

Well done to anyone who had any part in organising what was a great weekend away

I even enjoyed our impromptu 3 lap race round the Ikea street circuit on the way home......

DONKEY!

[Shuffy]

A splendid weekend in the company of splendid people.

THANKS! (in no particular order)
J.P for leading us out and getting us to France's most lonely and bonkers chip van
Albie for organising the brilliant tie competition (I better get on make the winners prize then...)
Shelley for being a great sport and her squirting skills (look it was a squirty bow tie you smutty people...)
Crust for being brave enough to share a room with me and sync his snoring with mine to avoid a seismic calamity
Alan C for incisive and superior intellectual comment all with the aid Lefe (D-O-N-K-E-Y)
Bex for spinning the platers that mater in the iPhone disco
BigOz for my Co-Built keyring
Joris for lending me his puncture repair kit and putting up with us
The Juplier Brewery who's profits may just have quadrupled this weekend
ALL our Belgium friends for their amazing hospitality, generosity and friendship
EVERYONE form UKMOC who came along, joined in, had fun and who make this surely the best motorcycle club in the UK

And a MASSIVE thank you to Slob who fixed my puncture using the kit that's nestled in the bottom of rucksack for the last 8 years. It worked and you got me home!

NO THANKS!
French and Belgium rain, no thank you, not today (or any day)
The one inch self tapping screw found squatting in my rear tyre. Look, if I wanted to do some DIY I'd have stayed at home...

AND FINALLY ESTHER...
Ducati Village People? Where's my cowboy hat and leather chaps...

I'd add:
Thanks to GT for injecting a suitable level of deviance any Shuffy for bringing his mirth and letting me use his zip tie.

I would yell Donkey but I enjoyed it all.

Andy

[Albie]

Do you mean deviance as in the detours !!

[Shuffy]

Possibly both meanings Albie....

[alan c]

What another great weekend, thanks to all that attended and also for making Nick so welcome, he had a brilliant weekend, lets wait and see if he gets a Ducati !

Thanks to Joris for the usual hospitality and for stocking the fridges :drunk:
Thanks to all involved at the MOB, what a great bunch of guys and girls :thumbsup:

DONKEY !

Hope so Alan he was very keen. I was nearly never there at one point but glad I did go. I have to admit I hated Saturdays rain as I was riding blind with glasses on covered in spray. My AGV lid is SHI TE in damp and rain. I couldn't see to keep up around the lanes and ended up without glasses and visor up most of the time. Lucky I am long sighted but it was annoying. I got up so early on Saturday to be there on time at Tunnel that I was knackered Saturday night. I thoroughly enjoyed Sunday and the night music until around 3 when we had to turn in. Luckily GT allowed me to have around 8 hours sleep in the 2 nights lol.
I already have a plan for a challenge at our own weekender subject to a friend arranging said item but it will cause amusement and a great photographic opportunity.

AlanC thank you for taking over the organising of the rooms. I know its not an issue for Belgium due to Joris etc but its a headache trying to juggle peoples preferences around at times but thankfully we all get on so well its brilliant.
Can I also thank the newcomers for coming along and having the trust in us for you to enjoy yourselves. Without all of you it wouldn't be as much fun. In all honesty I missed my Caroline big time but I have never seen as many happy faces at a Belgium weekender other than the Wigs and Shirts ones. That just proves we needed a theme and it worked. That was Alans idea really but I kind of enforced the issue.
And Mrs Harrison you was brilliantly funny.

Oh and my bike now needs a good clean

[uksurfer]

Well, i arrived home a day later than planned, but had a good trip, shame the naughty bike played up and caused me trouble, it will soon be on Ebay or piston heads for anyone who might wish to buy,

I lost my waterproofs coming home on the first leg of the motorway, only to find at the second fuel stop after breaking down i had stripped my carbon tank protector and key guard thinking it was this that might have been causing me trouble, this i also lost whilst hammering down the motorway to catch a ferry at approx ***mph

so, apart from missing waterproofs, lost carbon, non starting bike due to electrical gremlins....

I had a f**kin great weekend

Thanks to all that made it possible, the Belgiums, Alan for the hotel, and Albie for making me buy a Volvo Cambelt :idea:

and also to Rally for letting us run up a huge bar tab in his name, Joris said you can settle it with him next year :)

You might need to have a word with the bank about remortgaging the house first ;)
