East Anglian Winter Solstice meet.

Mr Gazza · 08-12-2019, 01:12 PM

Well not quite the Solstice, but at least the morning after the longest night, on the bright side you might say, the start of the long haul to the next riding season.

As last year, no pieces of paper with pictures and reminders of the upcoming date...I have a calendar and a telly, so I am aware thank you. Also I do not require anyone's wishes for any specific moods on a specific day.

Why don't we all go out and plant a native tree instead of killing one and putting it indoors for a few days before dumping it??? Totally baffled by December?? Anyway you know my feelings.

Really looking forward to some like minded banter about Monsters and other Cosmic matters.. Doubt that the Monster will come out of hiding...I really miss it, but I'm assuming that it will be another trip in the Skoda Romeo carrying heavy things!

Arbuckle's American Diner, A10 Downham Market, 10am, Sunday December 22nd.

See you there.

Grumpy · 08-12-2019, 03:45 PM

See you in the 22nd. Richard will probably be joining us👍
As for Christmas...bah humbug!

I should be there, might even make it on the bike if I'm feeling brave. May not be able to stop too long as I've got to be in norwich for 2 (I think) but should be fine

Mr Gazza · 21-12-2019, 02:08 PM

Today's the day that the nights start to get shorter... A good day to celebrate.

I'll see you guys tomorrow on a (very) slightly longer day... Onwards and upwards..

DaveR · 21-12-2019, 04:20 PM

I hope to make it, albeit in the car

..........and a happy solstice to you too mate, hope you have a good meet tomorrow, safe journey

Grumpy · 21-12-2019, 09:13 PM

Summer is just around the corner

See you guys tomorrow

Mr Gazza · 22-12-2019, 01:20 PM

Well that was lovely. Thanks to all for coming. What a stark contrast to the madness of the week just passed... Apocalypse nearly over now.

Smashing to see Grumpy, Ally, Sarah, Dacs, two Richards and Kingfisher.
Extra team points to Dacs and Kingfisher for arriving on their bikes.. Well done..

Keep an eye cocked and an ear open for a little bimble over to Walcott over the holidays. It will be totally weather dependant and at short notice. Sunday 29th is favourite, but as I said, weather dependant. A last attempt at getting the bike out again this year.

Happy Solstice to all and best wishes for the next lap round the Sun...

Grumpy · 22-12-2019, 04:11 PM

Great to catch up with everyone over good coffee and food.
I was impressed with both Dacs and Kingfisher turning up on bikes, especially as the roads around here are awash with pools of water plus crap !

Hopefully I will be able to make Walcott see you guys then

Was great to see every one, sorry I had to dart off but was running late. Was home by 1 out the door again by 1.15 then managed to find my bros place by just got 2 so not bad timing. I'll keep an eye out for a last ride out of the year

DaveR · 23-12-2019, 07:59 AM

Just to say sorry I missed you all, but I wasn't wasting my time

First picture post too, if I've got it right

Congrats Dave, picture uploaded

Mr Gazza · 23-12-2019, 11:40 AM

I submitted your apologies for absence Dave. When I explained that you were fitting Carbon, there were some very understanding and knowing nods..

Looking good..
