Hello LOFO's.... What with this year being a bit of a wash out with Covid and all the restrictions that come with it, I'm going to put it out there for a meet, ride out and camp over for next year in the spring or summer.
I'm in the process of purchasing a private woodland and it's pretty central to all my favourite roads in the south east and just before the start of the 272 to Loomies from Tunbridge Wells.
Anyway, I'm thinking we could meet up, set up camp and acquire supplies of beer, cider and food then head out for a ride round the Kent and Sussex twisties or head west to Loomies, whatever we decide.
In the evening we could head back to the woods, drink and eat and generally talk bollocks round the campfire in a truly magical and private woodland setting.
Let me know if you're up for it and we'll keep this thread going and fine tune arrangements.
As usual, being a LOFO ride, nothing is set in stone so if necessary, we'll just wing it.
I think we could all do with a weekend blow out after all this year has thrown at us and this has got to be a good way of leaving it all behind.
What do you say Foccers ? Who's up for it ?
-
Yep, up for that Dazza. Excellent idea. :thumbup
-
:thumbup Good one Robbo. I'll see if the usual suspects get on board later. I know a few of them no longer have Fazers so I might give them a text.
-
I’m sure Mr.Crazy would be up for this. Might need a new tent though :lol .
-
:lol
-
Dazza,
I'll be up for that, still got the Fazer but don't use it much now I've got the Mutley and probably even less soon, as I pick up a 1100 Scrambler sport tomorrow.
-
That's sweet mate, you know it's going to be a hard choice deciding which one to take. Pics of the scrambler please when it happens :)
Let's get the old gang together and have a blow out.
Now where's Red, Kitcrazy, Harry Hornby and Midden ?
-
I’ll give Mr.Crazy a text and let him know. :thumbup
-
Where the hell is Sussex ? :lol
-
:)

@Dazza, I don't live that far from you up in Hertfordshire so this sounds like a nice idea. When are you looking at doing this? and how will Covid rules be handled..?
-
Where the hell is Sussex ? :lol
:D Next door to Kent :b

@Dazza, I don't live that far from you up in Hertfordshire so this sounds like a nice idea. When are you looking at doing this? and how will Covid rules be handled..?
This isn't going to happen until spring/summer so hopefully Covid restrictions would have been relaxed by then.
At the moment we're in tier 4 so until that changes it isn't going to happen (unless you all bring a saw and say you're forestry workers) :lol
-
But on a serious note if Covid is still a concern, I have the capability to take temperatures on arrival.( If you'd like it done rectally, my brother would love to accomodate you :evil )
Anyone who records a temperature of 37.8 or higher will not be allowed to stay and will be directed to the nearest Covid test centre for their own safety and peace of mind as well as ours.
Hand sanitizer will be available on site as well as sanitising wipes.
Masks will be worn when social distancing isn't possible but ultimately we're all responsible adults so are expected to act responsibly according to the Covid threat.
This is a large woodland venue and solo camping or individual hammocks are advised.
If anyone is suffering from symptoms or is concerned about their safety due to age or underlying health reasons then they should take the decision not to attend or leave the group if they don't feel secure at any time.
Obviously, this is subject to any restrictions at the time which may or may not allow this to happen.
-
This sounds awesome! I'm in :)
Happy new year Foccers!
-

Added some bits since I've got it. Is 2 yrs old with race exh system, and other accessories and only 1200 miles.
One thing for sure, Dukes are expensive to keep and modify :) :)

Which one shall I bring???? :lol :lol

The RD :lol

Well, what with restrictions starting to be lifted and summer just round the corner, I thought I'd bump this thread up with some visual teasers of the woodland venue.
My bikes haven't turned a wheel this year what with Covid and other commitments so looking forward to blowing off the two wheel cobwebs.....Bring it on ! 8)

Looks great :thumbup . Hope I'm not on holiday when you choose a date.
-
:lol
-
I thought that was Swansea’s manager for a moment.
-
Looking good dazza :thumbup
-
Well, I'm all primed and ready for this now Foccers !
Bikes have been brought out of hibernation and prepped, have completed on the venue and the weather is looking good so let's get this organised. 8)
I'm thinking weekend after next as next weekend is Father's Day. So that's the 26-27th June. How does that sit with everybody ?
I'll already be at the woods from the Friday so best meeting point will be Saturday morning at the Tesco on the junction of the A21 & A228 at Tunbridge Wells.
I'll meet you there In my truck, you can get your supplies of food and beer there and throw them in the back of it then follow me to the venue where you can select a spot, set up camp and if you want, go for a little spin around the local twisties.
On return we can get some scran on, crack open some cans/ bottles of beverage around the campfire then crawl off to our bunks when our vision becomes impaired :b
On the Sunday, I'm thinking a blast down to Loomies along the A272 which is only down the road.
Let me know your thoughts Foccers, we can change the date if needed and if anyone has any ideas for either day, let us know ?
Look forward to seeing all you reprobates soon !
-
Dazza, can't give a 100% yes at the moment, still awaiting a date for my first leg op and it could be tomorrow or in 10 weeks time. Will need to let you know closer to the date.
-
No worries mate, hear from you soon :thumbup
-
Cool, I'll be up for that. :thumbup . What's the plan cooking wise, barbecue, chilli?. I'll let Mr Krazy know, now that he's a Kwak owner. :lol
-
Great stuff Robbo. We've got a couple of stoves, saucepans and a large frying pan/ Wok and can bring a gas barbecue over too. I'm thinking of making a curry but get whatever you fancy we'll find a way to cook it.
There's also a cracking Chinese Takaway 15minutes away if you feel like roughing it :lol
Yes, let Mr Krazy know, I'm dying to see his new tent ! :evil
-
Mr.Krazy has to work Saturday, but will meet us Sunday, without the Wendy house though :lol .
-
This is now postponed until the weather improves and work commitments for some don't clash with the dates.
Keep checking in LOFO's for updates and if you haven't already confirmed you're coming, this gives you more chance to make arrangements.
-
Hi Dazza, I know we spoke on text, but just throwing my hat in the ring on here, too. I'm up for this (family commitments allowing) :-)
-
Hey Dazza, what say we try again this year? :-)
-
Hey Dazza, what say we try again this year? :-)
Hey Mr Hornby and gang !
Yes, good idea !
I've been pretty busy with work and consumed with the woodland thing and my biking passion has taken a back seat.
Sold the MT10 to help finance another plot but still have the Fazer.
I'm down the the woods pretty much every weekend and been working 6 nights a week but would be great if we could revive this plan.
Let me know of any interest and dates that suit all and we'll try and plan a meet.
-
Hi gentlemen,
I'm on for a weekend of debauchery, only dates between now and September are next week (touring France and Germany) and Sunday 2nd July.
Any other dates are fine with me, cos I'm a sad single cnut. :lol :lol

Nice to dive into here and see you geezers doing what you do best "I'm on for a weekend of debauchery".
It's a pity I'm not nearer :D
