Title: ace cafe mini meet

Too. Damn. Cold.


Been thinking of heading down to H's this morning, but just a little concerned about icy patches in sheltered areas. Ace cafe means a long run on A/M40, which sounds to me like a torturously cold run. Getting old I suppose  :\

Wednesday or Thursday looking favourite at the moment - a little bit milder, perhaps not as harsh a frost overnight. Back to colder again on Friday (according to the BBC forecast).
It'll still be a bloody cold ride on those days, but maybe less risk of the slippery stuff.

Yep, thinking thursday, new years day, done this before on NYD great way to start the year, been meaning to go to the london motorcycle museum for a while, its just the other side of RAF northolt on the right, might do at the same time.....anyone interested in meeting at the ace on NYD at say mid day ?.......weather permitting of course  ;)

I may be in, whether will play a big part though.....Whether my bike will start, whether I get too drunk the night before, whether I can be arsed, whether I can still fit into my leathers, whether they've moved the Ace Café to somewhere a bit more interesting and of course, the weather. :D

Well, it's a crap ride for me, especially in the cold, but getting a bit frustrated myself, so I might well be up for it. At least the A/M40 should be ice free, just got to worry about the little lanes to get to it!


Dazza, just weather it  :lol

If some people make the effort then so will I ......12 on Thursday sounds good to me. I was up the M40 to birmingham today then up to Derby and back to londinium on the M1 and not a hint of ice.

See, that's one of the few things I miss about London. Out here in the middle of feckin nowhere, to get anywhere from this little one-feckin-shagged-out-donkey-town, it's country lanes, much colder than in town. So ice is a problem any direction I go in. It's not far to the A40, just dodgy getting to it. But Thursday should be better. I'll come along.

Well I should be up for this, perhaps I can join nick on the whinger seats. Him whinging about country lanes and myself about that foccin awkward route through London, which, incidentally remain a pain regardless of season ;)

I'm working on Thursday so I can't make it this time.  I went out for a bimble on Saturday and came home after about ten miles. Good news is red says the shortest day has gone so it's getting warmer.  Happy New year gents and ladies.

Given the day Thursday is, I'm thinking a nearer 2pm meet would be more doable? ?

would you then start the new year as nick soggy crisp.

My main concern about this mini meet is how many of us actually own a mini

Title: Re: ace cafe mini meet
Post by: Hedgetrimmer on 31 December 2014, 06:32:37 pm
As long as there's no ice on the roads by about 10am (should be ok), I'm up for it  :)
Title: Re: ace cafe mini meet
Post by: dazza on 31 December 2014, 06:58:05 pm
Going to try and make this but starting to come down with sore throat and sniffles.
Will see how I feel in the morning but tbh can't see it happening as I'm still in night shift mode.
 
If not, happy new year to all the Lofo's and Foccer's in general and let's see if we can meet up regularly in 2015 for some more of those brilliant rideouts. :thumbup

Looks like there could be some patchy rain, more out my way, nothing showing for London until much later. Not brilliant, but it'll do.
Title: Re: ace cafe mini meet
Post by: Hedgetrimmer on 01 January 2015, 09:00:07 am
Nope, I'm out. Blowing a gale and raining here. Yesterday was nice, tomorrow supposed to be nice, but not today.

Nice ta see ya ...ta see ya Red....good to catchup as it's been a while.. I asked the Mrs and she said if she can have ur X7 u can indeed have her XXX. Although ur probably gonna need a FAST blue pill to hit her Rev limiter.

On our second cuppa we saw this pull up and at first thought "oh-oh..here we go" but on closer inspection found it to be very a very well thought out bike. Whaddaya think???

Sorry to have missed this, caught up with Family things and lots of cooking! Did go to Olympia for the Horse Show on 22nd on the bike, car would have been fine, but parking all booked and £20 in a bay if I was able to find one, train too slow and expensive, so the bike it was, quick, cheap and free to park in official car park, so nice and safe. :lol
