Bedfordshire Areas Meet

[madhatter]

Hi Chris,

Good to meet up with you for a short blast last night, including the one-wheeled portion, and to finally see the inside of your garage....love that little Moto Morini....I'll put a rain check on the offer to take the KTM for a blast until I have suitable body armour and a first aid kit to hand!

We mentioned the possibility for a Beds Areas meet-up next week on either Wednesday 25th or Thursday 26th (t.b.a on which-ever day is forecast to have the better weather), at the Embankment Hotel in Bedford around 7.30pm.

Who out there in the distant wild reaches of the areas would like to meet up next week and does anybody have a particular day that they can't make on the above two days?? It's about time we got together again for a beer and a chat!!

I can't make Wed, but Thursday might be OK for me.

Have been in hols but it looks like the summer continues to decimate the Bedford Monsters ( and Aprillias).

Only realised that the 25th is tomorrow so can't make that but will try for Thursday. Bit frightened to bring my baby out tho.

Must tell you my story of the motorcycling nun I met last week when we meet up.

Ok, so it looks like the Bedford meet-up will be Thursday 26th Aug, 7.30pm, at the Embankment Hotel in Bedford. The forecast at the moment is for Thursday to be a bright and dry day (keep those fingers crossed)!

At the moment it looks like being just Chris, Elaine and myself, is anyone else coming over for a drink and a chat about monster modifications, future events, crashes, insurance claims, break-downs, white paint and Nuns on motorbikes?? Please drop a thread on this post and let me know.

If you're from another area and want to pop over please feel free. I know Clophill has not been a good venue for the last couple of weeks, but this Hotel is right on the river in Bedford and is a nice place to stop and catch up on what's happening. If anyone want's to meet up with me and have a short blast over to Bedford let me know and I'll arrange to start from the Ampthill/Flitwick Shell garage..."mine's a pint of diet coke with lemon".. :burnout: :burnout:

i'll bring hayley over in the car,........... see you there

Sorry guys and gals, I now have another commitment at 8:00 on Thursday, so won't be able to make it. Next time.....

If I can get out of work at a reasonable hour , Mags and I might be there if its still on.

Keep an eye on this thread Kevlar, as I said, the weather forecast is good (at the moment) for Thursday, so fingers crossed. Do you know where the Embankment Hotel is in Bedford, or do you want to meet up before-hand and ride over together?

You're the Beds Rep right and I've been to most of the Clophill meets for the past few months but have only ever seen you there once You are sooo pooh, thought you said you could make it?! :lol:

Sounds like you have too much going on in your life suchas work, family, other social commitments to show your full support, maybe step down and let someone else take on Beds...maybe the lovely Madhatter - by the way, it's not meant in a nasty way hun

Probably best to see you over there as I never know what time I'm going to get out of this place. Still if I think I can get out on time I'll leave something on this thread tomorrow so we can meet up in Flitwick or summat.

[madhatter]

No Problem Kevlar, see you there unless you let me know otherwise.

Pete (doc), Dutchman, and Laurent....do any of you fancy a ride-out on your Monnies for a pint in Bedford on Thursday this week?

Any other takers???? :twisted:

Hi

From where and at what time are you driving out to Bedford. I don't mind to have a ride if I can leave work early enough.

I just left you a message on the Bucks thread...ha..ha..We will be meeting up at the Embankment Hotel in Bedford at 7.30pm, It's right on the river and most people should be able to direct you to it.

I am waiting to see if anyone else wants to meet at the Shell Petrol station on the Ampthill/Flitwick roundabout at around 7.15pm, if you head towards Woburn, then Ampthill and Flitwick, you should end up on the roundabout I'm speaking of. Lets see tomorrow who else is meeting up, if Doc comes over from Brickhill, you could meet with him and come over to me.

What time do you think you could get over to me?

I don't have a clue about what time I have to leave hanslope to get there in time. I will studie the way and try not to get lost.
Unless it is raining ......

Chappers, you're a member of the UKMOC and don't even ride a bike let alone have a monster so where does that leave you in the commitment stakes???

You're right I have a busy life, and often can't commit to riding my bike when I want to, but have still managed over 15,000 miles in 2 years of purely pleasure riding. Unfortunately I often don't get back from work until after 7:00 and am working on setting up a company in my spare time, and have a meeting Thursday or I'd be there.

I had already considered asking Madhatter if he wanted to take over as Bedford area rep, just hadn't had chance yet, so Steve, do you fancy it?

Bedford area meetings were non existent earlier this year, and seen to be growing all the time, which is great, so I am more than happy for someone to take this on who can make a bit more time than I can at the moment
