Anyone doing the margate meltdown bank holiday Monday 25th?
-
ooooooo very tempted.... I shall ask my social secretary....
-
Might be up for this, route down there can be boring unless you go through all the little villages.

True, did that when we went sand racing as couldn't face miles of Motorway and dual carriageway. May be up for this bike must be sorted by then, frustrating having it in the garage and not being able to use it! :'(
-
OK is anyone going to go for this run?
I'm up for it if Dazza/Midden/HH or any other local lead us a merry dance through the Kent countryside rather than just blasting along the major roads
-
Not that interested in the Meltdown but the riding bit can be fun, i'm up for leading from Sittingbourne for a hour then 20 min ish break then another hour to Thanet? All interesting roads, make good progress but steady enough not to use cornerman system.
-
Mmmmmmm what to do......finish painting the thous engine or get on my 6 for a day at the seaside ...

Red...it's desperate times when ive been out on my bike & you haven't.....that's like Gordon Ramsey queing up at McDonalds.
I say leave the painting for a rainy day....theres plenty to choose from :)
-
Booked my Sat and Sun night shift off work, so am up for this.
Quite happy to follow your lead maxzer, like you, not really into the meltdown thing or Margate in particular but hey, if we get bored, we can always :foc somewhere else.
Just need a time and meeting place, quite happy to meet up at mine and have a cuppa before we head off.
-
I'm not interested in meeting at the Ace, nor am I intending on leaving early, I'm in apsley atm, do you want to meet me here red?
What's people's thoughts on gathering at high beach for a coffee and Sandwich about midday??
We can go for a bimble eastwards from there, any other preferences on times?
-
I was going to suggest just off Chestnut Street from Key Street but can come to yours dazza, i tend to go out early or late to avoid the mobile chichanes as much as possible. Anyone up for a long pre Margate ride can start off earlier, even loop back a bit to meet others. Could take more like 3 hrs so can fit in a couple more breaks.
-
I could be up for this and like the sound of Punkstigs suggestion
I'll have to confirm a bit later though as I'm not 100% sure I'm actually available :'(
-
is this still happening ?
-
I'm waiting on replies to my suggestion!
-
Just checked the forcast , tomorrows going to be a cooler version of today, no rain...dark clouds out there at the moment and iam expecting a heavy shower shortly...not forcasted though :rolleyes
-
So options for tomorrow,
1) Meet up with Dazza, Mazer, et al, in the morning for a blast
or
2) Meet up with Punkstig, Deadeye(?), Red98 at High Beach at 12 then into Kent to meet up for another lap of Kent with Dazza's crew?
Trying to make up my mind, which one involves a fry up in the morning?????
-
Ha, fat bastard, either way I'm heading to high beach for 12ish
My numbers 07925539885
-
Maxzer's meeting at mine for 09.30 if you fancy an early start Ceri. Failing that my no is 07875 044 876, stay in contact and we can meet up en-route tomorrow.
Picture unrelated :D
-

-
Have text you my postcode and no Paul in case you want to meet up with maxzer and Ceri at mine.
-
Well I am out and about and in High Beach keeping an eye out for Mr Punkstig
-
Did any of you meet up? Are any of you still alive?! :eek
We must know the sordid truth!
-
Yep.....met red ceri and dazza at margate......three old gits go to the seaside :lol.......very busy 30 min que for fishes and chippys, dazza led on the way home with some good twisty roads,thanks for leading dazza, another fine ride ;)
-
Yep, you can always rely on dazza to come up with a good route......remind me dazza, what you do for a living :lol
-
Well, I'm still alive, although the pull of the hedgerows was strong on this ride :b .
Mr and Mrs maxzer and Ceri met at mine and we followed maxzer's lead to Tenterden.
Interesting roads and a route that I wouldn't have taken which was quite a nice experience and very little traffic.
We then headed across country to H's on the A2 and had our compulsory fry up.
I kept in contact with Red by text throughout and arranged to meet up in Margate.
Mr and Mrs maxzer peeled off at the Margate roundabout and me and Ceri went red boxeye hunting in Margate.
It was easy to find cos all the paint was flaking off the engine :D
We then had to rescue two bluerinser's from Red's persistant attention, had a coffee and hit the roads again for a blast.
Stopped for a shandy then headed North to peel off at the M20.
They were both alive when I left them. :)
Think I may have finished off my rear tyre, what do you think, one more ride ?
-
DOH....forgot to mention my mileage.......250 and a half miles........thats more in a day than noggys done this year :lol
-

Yeah, you have to be careful with those yellow bikes, they do like a nice hedgerow ;) :lol
Loads left on that tyre yet; ask slimwilly, barely scrubbed-in by his standards :eek
-
Got home at 6.45 safe and sound, another great day out, thanks to both Maxzer and Dazza for leading.
Some interesting roads in the morning,
Dazza I think the technical word for you tyre is F*&ked
-
Cause of time and tbh tiredness me and a mate on his Street triple diverted to south end for fish and chips, still had a good day but was a shame to not get to meet up with you guys!
-
gutted I missed out on today. Glad a good time was had by all.
Were you guys on the A249 (Sittingbourne bound) about 1130? I'm sure I saw Dazza's bike as I was heading towards Maidstone.
-
Looks good Geeeeezazzz....not enough pics of food imo......Red....I resent you're comment..........I'm on my 3rd tank of fuel already.......actually on a FAST bike like mine that isn't actually 250 miles quite yet is it.
ill soon have the mileage racked up....soon as my baby rack has been fabricated :lol
-
Harry, unless you have found a way to tame wormholes and can now control space time continuum, you wouldn't have seen my bike. To a mere mortal it appears as a yellow streak across your retina. :D
Punkstig, I'm going to arrange a Lofo rideout next month......
Then :foc somewhere else :lol
-
Haha, well it wasn't a proper look meet and tbh I'm going to blame my mate, clearly it's not my fault in the slightest, but thanks for arranging the next one!
-
I met up with Punkstig and his mate and had a chat at High Beach with them but sort of decided the same as them and made my way back home instead of heading to Margate as it was quite a distance to cover on roads that I have no knowledge of which would have meant I'd have been on Motorways :\
Still, had a great 2 hour ride around Hertfordshire and Essex getting to High Beach in the morning and a nice journey back home, so ultimately a successful day :)
-
Thanks dazzer and Red Ceri for the good company around the lanes.
