Sunday ride outs - ogri48 - 06-10-13
Absolutely lovely day, me and the missus going on the cb to sunny hunny (Hunstanton) after I've done me Sunday morning jobs.just been looking on line for any other meets in Norfolk...predictably, none.
Whatever happened to Sunday bike meets? Even my mates who still have bikes just can't be arsed to go for a weekend ride nowadays just for the sake of it. Sad really innit ..why do so many people give up and die years before they actually do..

I blame sky tv...sport, racing, cookery etc etc
I only have freeview so not worth wasting power on the on/off switch & im more likely to get out & about doing something like going for a nice ride instead.
Hope you have a good run anyway & hopefully theres lots of folk out n about in a non organised fashion. 8)

Bike meets are ok, but you just gotta get out when the weather's like this - made for riding in, not standing around having a natter. No telly at home so I'm always out on the :faz when the sun's out!
But, there's a good bike meet/café at Thetford if that's not too far for you Ogri. Used to ride up to it from High Beach in Epping sometimes on a Sunday morning - that's the only one I know of out that way

Met up for a ride out with Derbyshire Bikers today. First time I've been. Wasn't expecting 80 odd of them! Bit intimidating when you don't know anyone but what the hell. Friendly enough bunch.
But point is this was only the group's 7th ride and only started this year yet already 800 facebook members and a good number of descent folks showing up
So at least round my way there's certainly still a demand for the Sunday ride out. Perhaps it just needs someone to pull it together
Problem is now a days that seems to mean facebook or similar, I resisted for years but finally sold my soul to get in on these groups, don't regret it so far tbh

:eek 80! Yeah, think I'd be a bit intimidated riding amongst that lot too!
Bet the guy at the front was just out on his own for a Sunday spin - "WTF?!! Who's this lot that keep following me everywhere?!" :lol
Haha, like the new forum profile shot!
That'll be £30,000 for the copyright, please! :lol
