Margate (lofos smash the east coast)

[Dead Eye]

Well I am out and about and in High Beach keeping an eye out for Mr Punkstig

[nick crisp]

Did any of you meet up? Are any of you still alive?!  :eek

We must know the sordid truth!

[red98]

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 

[red98]

Yep, you can always rely on dazza to come up with a good route......remind me dazza, what you do for a living    :lol

[dazza]

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 
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 ?

[red98]

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

[Red Ceri]

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

[Punkstig]

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!

[HarryHornby]

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.

[noggythenog]

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

[dazza]

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. 

Punkstig, I'm going to arrange a Lofo rideout next month......

















Then  :foc somewhere else  :lol

[Punkstig]

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!

[Dead Eye]

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.
