Manchester Bike show has improved leaps and bounds since its beginnings 7 years ago, very well attended and a good selection of stands for everyone....... Ducati Manchester getting the prime site right at the entrance.

Good to get the NW Branch out yet again............ next outing must be on the bikes !!

Just a friendly reminder folks, the monthly meet at the lockgate is Sunday 8th April.......as I am sure we will all be on Easter egg hunts and stuff this weekend !

See you there on the 8th...

... Don't repeat this out loud but Sunday is looking decent at the moment so....let's imagine it stays that way, then let's imagine meeting at the lockgate for the monthly meet.......then let's imagine a bimble out to Ellesmere, hmmmm.....I imagine I will see you Sunday, all welcome ,

Thanks for roping us all in Michael, hope for sun!

Brilliant........I see what you did there ..... See if I can string this out

I'll hopefully see you on Sunday but I'm afraid it will be four wheels for me as not feeling 100% at present, heyho olde age is starting to be a bugger...

Andy B · 06-04-2018, 07:13 AM

Keeping finger crossed for good weather Sunday... Will be stripping the carbs on Annabel's Monster today - some bugger left the petrol in em over winter and it's a little hesitant when winding on...

just have to decide whether to follow her on the tractor or the Jap Ducati imposter...

Andy get yourself some fuel stabiliser it's wonderful stuff and works miracles,

06-04-2018, 08:44 AM

oooh lets see the jap imposter please??

I am afraid I am falling into the "weather watch" trap again, at the moment its ok but who knows, will keep in touch and if all good to go we can meet up at Starbucks and then pick up Marc on the way, A49 ish.....

Well reminded Geoff, I have yours still in the boot of the car...will bring it along on sunday so you can educate us on the benefits

Pezz · 06-04-2018, 10:05 PM

I'll see you all there Sunday - if its OK I'll be on the bike - but even a smidge of rain and it'll be 4 wheels - brand new unrun in tyres and moist roads don't mix...

Great pics of the show Mike and it was well worth the visit. I'd even say it's a better outing than the NEC with a lot more 'personal' bikes on show. Certainly getting bigger and better each year.

Great to see Manchester Ducati in prime position and good to meet some of the DOC members on their stand. Even treated myself to a DOC hoodie which I'll probably be wearing at the Lock Gate - coz it dont look gud for 2 wheels tomoz boyz

Gonna tax my bike tho just in case

See you all tomorrow

ChrisC2925 · 07-04-2018, 09:41 AM

See you tomorrow morning, looks like it will be ok here but overcast Tarporley/Ellesmere way. Let's hope the Moco weather prediction curse keeps off this weekend!

07-04-2018, 05:11 PM

.you may find this hard to believe......but I am saying nothing, about the weather that is, I was about to say, helmet at the ready , but that is soooooo wrong....

07-04-2018, 05:27 PM

Just checking my tyre pressures

Will you boys be coming down the A51? If so I'll be at the BP Garage / Spar on Tarvin Rd (A51) at 10ish. I'll be wearing a red carnation and carrying a copy of the Financial Times

07-04-2018, 06:09 PM

See you there mate, .......financial times you say.......is that not the pink paper
