New to 'The Duke'

ColinS2R · 28-12-2019, 05:55 PM

Hi everyone
Still not collected my new (to me) S2R but hopefully in the next week or so.....
Meantime just wanted to say hi and look forward to getting to know people on here.
Happy New Year too btw!

Nice, I do like an S2R having one myself

Great one to get going with and a good base for 'tweaking' with a few bits and pieces.

Hi Colin, welcome along to the forum...........when does your S2R arrive? in time for our January meet at the Lockgate?? Look forward to meeting up with you soon

Welcome to the forum, Colin, our next meeting is Sunday 5th round about 10:00 hopefully see you there. You're welcome on 4 wheels if the bike doesn't arrive in time!

Welcome aboard!
Do come along to the weekender. You will have a blast.

Is this the Lockgate cafe on the A49 nearTarpoley ? I had to look it up.

Morning Nigel, yes it certainly is, pleasant spot nestled between a canal and a railway, first Sunday of every month, mostly on two wheels but four is good too when the weather isn't playing!,

Great stuff Colin, check out the Manchester and North West 2020 thread for the monthly meet dates, fingers crossed we catch up with you Sunday.

ColinS2R · 03-01-2020, 06:55 PM

What are the times etc for Sundays meet please?

03-01-2020, 09:00 PM

,so we aim to get to the lockgate for 10:30, it opens at 10:00. If you are up for it I can meet up en route, A41, the petrol station before the Chester zoo roundabout maybe ?..
