[devilsyam]

are we taking bets on paul turning up if it rains?

[R1FSR]

...prob not be turning up anyway Luke  :rolleyes

[devilsyam]

eer why may i enquire

[R1FSR]

as my original post said luke .

For me personally its time to find somewhere new .
The bike shed itself .. its a car park on a motorway .. end of story.
I Went in the museum once wich defeated the object of meeting up with everyone but very much
worth a visit ...so if im gonna visit it again it will be later in the year when (hopefully)the weather is better.

I just don't want to travel 100 miles (yeah I know its not far) in the cold or even pissing down on the
motorway to stand about in car park for 3 hrs ...not my idea of fun

although its always good to see old faces/friends like yourself m8 .....quite poss be doing my photo thing abroad again...and I know how much you look forward to that  :rollin

  Hi There Paul,

You and Me .. We go back a long way mate .. so please read this as it's intended .. no hitting .. I really am curious.

I take it all on board as to why (you say) you have not been at these annual Group Brum Bike Shed in recent years ..
It is a good 100 miles from Wigan .. unless of course you want to skip the M6 and make it a fun ride both ways  8) .
The weather may well be cold, wet or both .. some things we have no control over .. so normally a Plan-B day is fixed.
The meet is held on a Car Park (but the National Motorcycle Museum is very handy near to the M42 .. not on it)
Three hours of Bike Related stuff with like minded guys ain't so bad .. once in a year .. some might say it's quite nice.
You maybe more than most might get some good photography done .. you have the pro kit for the job .. in fact three hours might not be long enough.

As already stated .. this venue is very central in the UK .. fair for everyone .. we have no say in any Post Codes.
It's about as easy as anywhere in the UK ever could be to find .. follow NEC signs and the entrance is well marked.
All the required facilities are on site, it's free, safe parking, toilets and a cafe that opens on a Sunday. 

So .. my Serious Questions are:
You say you think:  Meeting somewhere New, at a Better Weather time would be more favourable.  You might well be right. 

Where and When would You like to meet up?  Where can we find all the facilities in one place on a Sunday? Also can you give me a clue as to what you would want to do once everyone got there?  What is your idea of Fun?  Would you attend yourself on your bike?  I'll not ask you about the weather on the day .. some questions just don't have answers.

End of the day mate .. we all know you ain't gonna be there, no need for any bets Luke .. but I for one would be genuinely interested to have your take on something or is it somewhere better.

Just for the Newbies and the record:  I set up and attended every meeting for the first six years .. before moving to live in Spain.  I have also ridden up from the Costa Blanca to Brum and back to attend this meeting three times in the past seven years. It's a challenge, long distance, often snow on the central mountains in April, always rain in the Northern area of Spain and I get sea sick on the ferry  :\  yes Sea Sick .. Me  :eek . 

All in .. I think it's about as much fun as I can have on a bike .. not being anywhere near fit (or young enough at 73) to get involved in Track Days or Off Road stuff anymore.  It's just Me, The Bike and The Long Haul Highway  :b 

If you give me your take on you ideas for alternative (or better still additional) group meet up dates and locations mate .. and I'll check my Social Events book .. yes really  8)

Talk to me and as always Stay Safe Buddy      Trev
