Who's taken the onster out of the UKMOC - Page 2

DaffyDuc · 10-02-2016, 10:01 PM

This year I have dragged the MOnster out of the garage, almost sold it last year but decided against it. It is over at Louigi motto for the full works. Taking it over to Germany on the trailer in May. I plan to ride it this year! Second trip over the ditch planned for September, touring over to Germany, Austria and czechoslovakia. Here is hoping for a good dry summer!

Hoping this will happen soon so that I have enough recovery time before the Weekender.

Life rather on hold at the moment, bikes tucked up and sorned for the time being.

Good luck, we had a message from a friend today who is also having the same surgery.

Hope all goes OK today for Paul
and hope Dirty makes it to the garage before too long

Be good to catch up with you guys , not going to Belgium last year makes it seem a long time ago since the last weekender

Hope the weather gods are good to us this year and not quite as 'damp' as last

Thanks for the kind message Char.

I had a long appointment with the heart valve surgeon & registrar today.

Good news is they are going to operate. Bad news is there is a 3 month waiting list at least which takes me to the middle of May.

At least I can go to the weekender now!

Barely started organising this year but so far:

3 days at Jerez over Easter
A week of touring in June inc. Route Napoleon
UK Weekender in Wales
A weekend at Cadwell in May
2 days at Spa in August
Belgian weekender in September

... and probably lots more trackdays in between.

As sure as Mr Ton Ton's chip van is there, we'll find a chance to sample his frites & mayo on a JP Day tour.

What about Sat 9th April for a day trip? not sure about overnight as 10th is the last day of the Easter school holidays so I reckon the Chunnel will be Hell.

It would appear that a Day trip to France is £34 going out and £34 coming back. (£68 is pretty pricey).

I've noticed recently that unless you're booking a long way in advance the single day cheap return prices (£15 each way), just get sold out or aren't offered.

Why don't we just do a run through Kent, into Sussex/Surrey for the day instead on April 9th ?
Lunch on the sea-front at Bognor Regis ?

slob · 01-03-2016, 10:46 AM

i checked weekend after originally and it was less than half that

MR21 · 01-03-2016, 10:50 AM

If the weather's dry Bognor could be on the cards from here. Anyone from the Wits/Hants area fancy a gentle (spirited!) ride across?
