weather not too bad between showers...anyone fancy a ride out on 3 nov a week sunday ?
-
This one definitely weather and area dependant for me. You got anything in mind Paul?
-
thought it best to lower the mileage a bit now the weathers turning....there is a retro bike cafe in london somewhere,jap cafe racers and one off`s that sort of thing.......not sure where it is but maybe EXUPNUT or PUNKSTIG know......just an idea , anyone else have any suggestions :)
-
I have heard of that, I think its se1 near tower bridge but not 100% sure. I'll ask some of the chaps at work when i go back next week. But jafrum springs to mind.
-
nice one EXUP....i`ll search the net over the weekend ;)
-
I've known of a couple of pop up places that last a couple of weeks (mainly E1 area) but not of any others tbh!
-
I think this is the place??

-
oh bugger :eek :eek thought that was a London one :lol :lol :lol
Mark
-
Lmfao Exupnet thats the bikeshed theatre :-X
-
fook.me.... :rollin ur right... i think this is just a internet site that arranges meets then cos i cant find em anywhere...wot shall we do this month then? maybee just a meet and breccy/lunch/yak at the ace? given the current weather...
-
thats the sort of thing markypvs,well found,was watching "cafe racer" on sky and see it on there.....will do some searching of my own and see what comes up
brekkie/lunch and talking crap sounds good to me :D ...be nice to have somewhere local to meet thats new to us ;)
-
What about meeting up at the Oakdene Cafe at the bottom of Wrotham Hill. Then if the weather's good the garden of England (Kent) will be open for those that won't to go play.

Have to miss this one - distance is a bit far but I will be staying with friends as of that Sunday for Bonfire Night ^^
-
Hi all the oakdene would be good for me.and the breakfast not bad either :b
-
I'm away in Cornwall for a Halloween weekend with mates (not you smelly lot) so I shan't be coming!
-
I may make this one
-
ok....kosmic....kitcrazy....red98.... lets go to the oakdene....and have breakfast together...sounds like its shaping up..(bit of a trot for u red tho...that ok?)
lawrence and bozboz r that way aswell so maybee they could come by and say hello...what say u all?
-
Anymore Kent boys and Gals up for the LOFO challenge
of squeezing in the anorexic seating arrangements and even greater challenge of popping out after the Gutbusting brekkie. Shame it isn't still good weather. It's a good meeting/starting point for some nice ride outs into deepest kent.
-
mileage good for me...can pick up the A20 just south of the river and just keep going till i find it ;) ...whats the A20 like ?.....PAUL KEMP + NICK CRISP you up for this one,could ride in together............weather permitting of course,looks great out there today
-
Not me . Too busy with work. :'(
-
Not me . Too busy with work. :'(
thats a shame paul......needed you there to keep exupnut in order :lol
-
Possibly. As per usual, weather dependant. Not an enjoyable ride to get there.....
-
your right there nick......was thinking windsor and then head south east from there ;) ....for you,how about .....down to "H"s cafe ,wallingford,left to henly,nice road that :) maidenhead and onto windsor meet up with good old red and onto oakdene...might work.........weather great here today :)

A20 is not a bad road. When I've done in the past (plenty of times as I used to work in Maidstone) I've usually used the M20 to bypass Maidstone... only a few junctions. Past Maidstone it has some nice fast open sections with plenty of bends and gentle undulation.
-
I think i can make this one , im off work :)
-
It's getting around London that's such a pain from here Kosmic. Every route = :z
But that idea of yours Paul, via Windsor? Tell me more - routes, road designations? Where to meet exactly? Then what - pleeeeease not M25!!!!! :z :z :z :z :z :z :z :z :z :2guns :2guns :2guns
-
Oi nickster.. Stop foccin whinjin on and get ur fat hairy to the oakdene. Mates make the effort :-)) i tried to call u twice yesterday but it said fone switched off..
-
Book a call with my secretary :lol
-
Book a call with my secretary :lol
Exup, Miss PM has contacted you ;)
-
Potentially, if i can get my bike back on the road by then :D
-
Nice chat mr crisp.... Seeya nxt w/end :-))
-
And you mr. .....erm.......nut (?)
Hang on tight to that ol' hack you're ridin' at work tomorrow ;)
-
Possibly. As per usual, weather dependant. Not an enjoyable ride to get there.....
the AA route planner takes you on to the A41 for then what i presume is the north circular and through blackwall tunnel certainly no real scenic routes from the tunnel.
Think I be inclined to head to pangbourne/Bracknell and to Dorking Reigate westerham staying under the M25 to Sevenoaks. Pretty certain that would create a nice ride.
Dropping down to east grinstead R tunbridge wells thru paddock wood is a good route but would add on the miles somewhat.
-

H's cafe? is that a good venue?
-
Yep, been there again today, good food, Alex George clothing and accessories next door (although I believe he's just been bought out and they were closed today), and have seen some interesting bikes there almost every time I go. Wasps are a bastard in late summer tho!
-
Yep I'm up for this one. A25 is of course a much better route of course than the M25 (if you've got the time). Takes you almost to the Oakdene doorstep.
PS Watch out for the Oakdene carpark. Full of potholes, which are hidden in puddles if it's wet
PPS Don't have the big breakfast. You won't be able to get out of the doors.

So that's another worry to go with the anorexic seating arrangement, skinny doors. what's their poached egg and soldiers like? or should I just go with the bowl of muesli :'(
-
I don't see any muesli :eek

Was this the cafe you lot had in mind: http://www.muffcustoms.com/muff-cafe/ (http://www.muffcustoms.com/muff-cafe/)
I believe it recently opened, out of the way a bit near Stratford. Not been there myself, but there was a big thread on the London Bikers forum, where a couple of them checked it out and gave it the thumbs up. Only downside was no late alcohol license, yet. Shut at 6pm. No prob for a Sunday ride out meeting place though.
Love to join you all next weekend, but I've ear marked that weekend for sticking my new downpipes on (weather permitting).
-
That's one trip I'll definitely do :)
-
Nick.
From Windsor get yourself down to the A25. Try A308 from Windsor to Staines then A320 to Woking, then A247 to A25.
-
So this is also gonna depend on meeting time if I do any ride from the café too. But may have an alternative, which may involve a teabag :eek :lol
-
I will provide the teabag ..............(providing it wont illicit any controversy )
-
DONT DO IT NICK :eek :eek ....have you seen CHRISTO lately :rolleyes
-
could i suggest a later meeting time and a shorter ride out if we have one.......now the weathers changed and all that ;)
-
I'm in as long as it's not pissing with rain :D
-
Was down Wrotham cafe yesterday went past the oak alot of those old people out on them British motorcycles that only come out when its sunny.
-

Erm, why don't you, like, remove the staple....? Am I missing something here? :rolleyes
-
Foccin ell paul... How exactly did it happen?
-
big air powered gun...one hand on gun trigger the other on workpiece.....fired into workpiece pulled gun away and gun double fired......perfect shot from about 18ins.....i said a few naughty words :eek
-
could have been much worse though if it had hit you in face?...could have easily blinded you :eek .....them and hilti guns are fkn evil!!
-
Isn't there spring loaded safety clip on the front of the gun that u push down b4 it fires ? I used to use hilte rivet guns where u had to load a strip of charges and it had this safety system installed so u couldnt fire until the clip was de-armed.
-
yea if nobodies tampered with it?...twats on site used to fk about with em so they,d rapid fire!!...dont know what they like now though?
-
Feckin' ell Paul, that looks painful... aren't you a bit old for piercings now though? ;)
Like CRH said lucky it wasn't worse, there are defo worse places on the body to have something like that happen!
-
Can't make this one. Sorry people. Girlfriend back from slovakia yesterday and gonna spend the w/end with her. I WILL DEFO BE ON THE NEXT ONE.

Good to see you had a decent day. I used to go to Rye quite often with a few guys I knew from High Beach - there was a good chip shop there, and not a bad ride down from London. Did think about coming, but heart wasn't in it today - just wanted a shorter local spin.

And you better be careful midden, when the thou bug bites, it's for life :lol
