Wroxham, Norfolk - Gather Tues 2nd July 6.30pm

15-06-2013, 04:04 PM

We've a few members from in and around Norfolk so wondered if you fancied getting together? Maybe meet for a bit of a social first and discuss plans for rideouts.

Let us know if your interested and I'll sort a date out. Maybe useful to say where you're based and whether evening or weekend is best and we can go with most popular option for our first gather. Feel free to share any ideas you have.

Be good to get something going in Norfolk again :-)

Nice idea.
I would be up for it, but i would have to park the Triumph out of sight.

It would be nice to get up close to some Monsters agian and maybe blag a ride, as I am quite interested to find out what a 750 goes like, being obsessed with the 900.

I live within earshot of Whitwell Station, where they have bike meets every Friday evening.
The Brisley Bell is a nice run out too. The Hickling Pleasure boat, the Horning Ferry, The pub at Ranworth Broad, Geldeston Locks..Nice little Cafe at Walcott....Put a pin the Map...!

Just near the Horning Ferry is the Neatished Radar Museum, if you lived in Norfolk during the Cold War it is an absolute must see.

Personally I prefer to ride out on an evening as I don't like jossling with weekend traffic.

Hope you get a few more posts here Mohawk...Good luck.

Mr Gazza, cheers for your reply and you'd be very welcome out on the Triumph. I'm going to fire an email off to others who may be interested but that may miss this thread.

Watch this space for plans.

I have not been up as ( your Norfolk group so obviously meet in Norfolk

)
As it got a bit to far up in Norfolk to go to a pub meet then back to Suffolk.
I'd love to nip up to Whitwell is it?
For the Friday night meet at some point but again due to home commitments and weekday stuff Fridays can be mental.

That yukky A140 at night is not great
If there are any bike shows you hear of could you flag up please

I'm pretty sure James was taking a chip or ice cream meet ..

And no Mr Grumpy I am not stooping low enough to eat a Mr Whippy 99 flake yuk !!
Proper Ice cream !

It would make sense that two countless get together at some point would be nice .

Mr Gazza · 16-06-2013, 06:20 PM

Mohawk hasn't got the Norfolk boys together yet.
When I was in the AJS & Matchless OC the Norflok and Suffolk sections used to get together at a Pub in Thetford....Just a matter of agreeing a place and time.

I agree with your comments about the A140, light or dark it's a pretty grim stretch. Probably different now I hope, but there never used to be any late night petrol stations from Ipswich to Norwich....Many a white knuckler with the reserve light on..!!

How about meeting at Wroxham one evening and having a run up to Holt. Byfords Cafe is open in the evening with tables outside and the roads from Wroxham to Holt are superb. I can do most evenings. What do you think? Let me know which nights you can each do and what sort of time you could be in Wroxham and we'll take it from there. :-)

24-06-2013, 10:25 PM

Mel and Grumpy, yes chips and ice cream sounds good. Perhaps once we have the group meeting locally and growing a wee bit we'll get further afield to meet up with you folks. In saying that you're welcome to join us at any of the Norfolk meets

Mr Gazza · 24-06-2013, 10:33 PM

Make it any night this week and you're on....Hoping to have the Triumph sold by the weekend..

BTW...I did a lot of the woodwork in Byfords..I wonder if it still looks good..?

Grumpy · 24-06-2013, 10:39 PM

How about Friday evening,this week?

25-06-2013, 12:03 PM

Yeah happy to meet this Friday. Shall we meet in Wroxham then head up to Byfords. I can be there anytime from 6pm. Shall we meet next to Roys, by the ATM. It's on the road you'd take to head out of Wroxham to Coltishall. Anyone else fancy joining us?

Grumpy · 25-06-2013, 08:16 PM
