Well.................another fantastic turnout for the monthly meet, thanks to all especially the three who braved the elements to arrive on two wheels.

Great to see new faces yet again, welcome to Tim and Tony .

Fantastic progress on the itinerary for this year, we now have a framework of events, I will post up later today to avoid this post getting too cumbersome. We have some great ideas.

Talking of which, Marc and I had a chat as we were leaving about a whatsapp group, if everyone is cool with it please PM your mobile numbers to Marc or let me know you are happy for me to do so and Marc will set it up for us.

I will post up the date for Maxton & KAIS visits as soon as they are confirmed through Tim,............see you all very soon

Hi folks,

I've set up a new WhatsApp group called 'Ducati UKMOC' for anyone who wants to participate.

For anyone who's unfamiliar with WhatsApp, basically it's a free messaging app for your mobile phone (free if you're on wifi) where the members of the group can communicate to all others with text or picture messages. WhatApp is an app which can be downloaded from the Play Store for Android phones or the App Store for Apple iPhones.

The point being is that we can all let each other know what's happening / where to meet / what time etc without necessarily having to log on to the forum. The beauty being, that you should receive instant notification of messages if there's something we all need to know about quickly.

All I need is your mobile phone number which you can text to me on 07795 555564. I've got a couple of numbers already but please let me know your username so I can save it to the group.

I'll give it a few days to get all the numbers in and then send out a message to check all is working.

Great to see everyone today and speak soon

Another good get together along with some new faces, lots of ideas for the coming riding season....

The staff at the cafe are going to rearrange the tables so that we’ll all be seated together so come on those of you that haven’t ventured to the Lock Gate Cafe
2 wheels or 4 it doesn’t matter it’s the banter that counts...

[Joshua Brew]

Im hoping to join you in the coming months when the weather improves. In the mean time im confined to the bicycle!

Hey Josh, you found the thread , nice one.

First Ride out is penciled in to coincide with the next monthly meet on 4th March, weather permitting of course. Destination RAF Cosford. Keep an eye on the thread and hopefully we will see you then, you are on my PM list.

Cheers

Mike

Brilliant Marc, can you get me a set of those tyres please???

Sadly due to beasts from the East and Emma, or is it Ema, Cosford has been bumped, we can discuss at the Lockgate on Sunday ( providing of course there is no more snow ).

Good news is that the visit to Kais has been confirmed as Saturday 10th March, those interested please confirm on here,pm or whatsapp. We are looking at 10:30 meet up at the venue.

Hope to see some hardy souls on Sunday............
