ace cafe mini meet

[red98]

I need some fresh air and fazer time....anyone fancy a mini meet at the ace cafe anytime between now and sun 4th ?

[nick crisp]

Too. Damn. Cold.


Been thinking of heading down to H's this morning, but just a little concerned about icy patches in sheltered areas. Ace cafe means a long run on A/M40, which sounds to me like a torturously cold run. Getting old I suppose  :\

Looks nice sitting indoors looking out  :rolleyes......was thinking of sneaking out at mid dayish when temp is at its best, quick blast, hot tea, talk some sh*t and back home again......will keep an eye on the forecast   

[red98]

weathers changed since i started this post  :\ ...coldest night of the year last night,very heavy frost this morning......iam getting bored now  :wall :wall :wall :wall

[nick crisp]

Wednesday or Thursday looking favourite at the moment - a little bit milder, perhaps not as harsh a frost overnight. Back to colder again on Friday (according to the BBC forecast).
It'll still be a bloody cold ride on those days, but maybe less risk of the slippery stuff.

Yep, thinking thursday, new years day, done this before on NYD great way to start the year, been meaning to go to the london motorcycle museum for a while, its just the other side of RAF northolt on the right, might do at the same time.....anyone interested in meeting at the ace on NYD at say mid day ?.......weather permitting of course

I may be in, whether will play a big part though.....Whether my bike will start, whether I get too drunk the night before, whether I can be arsed, whether I can still fit into my leathers, whether they've moved the Ace Café to somewhere a bit more interesting and of course, the weather.

[nick crisp]

Well, it's a crap ride for me, especially in the cold, but getting a bit frustrated myself, so I might well be up for it. At least the A/M40 should be ice free, just got to worry about the little lanes to get to it!


Dazza, just weather it  :lol

If some people make the effort then so will I ......12 on Thursday sounds good to me. I was up the M40 to birmingham today then up to Derby and back to londinium on the M1 and not a hint of ice.

See, that's one of the few things I miss about London. Out here in the middle of feckin nowhere, to get anywhere from this little one-feckin-shagged-out-donkey-town, it's country lanes, much colder than in town. So ice is a problem any direction I go in. It's not far to the A40, just dodgy getting to it. But Thursday should be better. I'll come along.

Well I should be up for this, perhaps I can join nick on the whinger seats. Him whinging about country lanes and myself about that foccin awkward route through London, which, incidentally remain a pain regardless of season

I'm working on Thursday so I can't make it this time.  I went out for a bimble on Saturday and came home after about ten miles. Good news is red says the shortest day has gone so it's getting warmer.  Happy New year gents and ladies.

[midden]

Given the day Thursday is, I'm thinking a nearer 2pm meet would be more doable? ?

[Exupnut]

NEIL!!!!!! Stop fukin changing the time. If ur not there I'll eat ur pork pie for YA :-)) me an Mrs can't make 2pm. But if it's 12 then we'll be there.

[midden]

How very festive of you Pete 

[nick crisp]

I'm thinking tomorrow would be better, cos I might get wet on Thursday  :lol

[red98]

Cant do tomorrow, iam having my hair done  :lol

would you then start the new year as nick soggy crisp.

My main concern about this mini meet is how many of us actually own a mini

[Exupnut]

So who's goin then?

[nick crisp]

As long as there's no ice on the roads by about 10am (should be ok), I'm up for it
