Hi Red,
Where would be a good venue to meet up for you. Would The Chalet be any good, say 10:30. I know the service there is crap, but we could go on to Brighton and get breakfast there, by the pitch'n'putt where we've been before.

Hi robbo....my son wants to come this year ,18 and will by buying his first bike soon , I wanted him to experience the atmosphere at the ace so was thinking of leaving with the masses at the ace , ride out as far as M25 then peel off and find a more interesting route , was hoping someone would post a meet ....think the ride leaves the ace at 10 .so 10.30 at cowfold would be more than pushing it for me....be great to meet up again , how flexable are you on time ?

Very flexible timewise. It's just from Cowfold you can get in to Brighton a lot easier than on the main drag (A23). If The Chalet's any good, then what's  a good time for you.

I did the 25th anniversary of The Ace being closed which was 1994 and the venue was still Just Tyres,  don't remember Mark being involved before that. I remember him collecting money at Brighton to help get the Ace project off the ground , but that was later. I'll wait at The Chalet as long as possible. :thumbup

Just done the maths, time really does fly, doh.
 Yep I was at the first which was 1994, expect I've got the badge on a leather jacket that I'm far too fat to wear now. :lol

Good day Foccers. Met up and rode down to Brighton. Then had a spin to Loomies.
Some blokes mate on the MT10 forum had his 17 plate R6 nicked down at Brighton today and another one had his S1000XR took last year.
When they reported it, Police were looking for another 5 bikes so it looks like thieves are actively targeting events like this and Brighton seems to be a bit of a hotspot.
It's easy for me to think " who'd have the gall to Nick bikes with all these bikers about" but it's a false sense of security.
Made the right decision Mel, locking the bikes up.
Kitcrazy's BM is an amazing bit of kit and the MV Dragster we saw at Chalet cafe was just a work of art.
