"L" plate meet??

gemka · Borekit Bruiser Joined: 14 Oct 2005 Karma :

hey,
i know most people are just going to look at this post because they cant believe someone would want to create a meet for L platers,

basically me and my brother are both on L plates, i have a 13 year old gp 100, im 17, he has bought a rs50, he is 16,

we live in hove, and notcied that there are a few nice little cafes and exellent views from the long parking road by the sea front in brighton,

ive always seen a few bigger bikes up there but nothing more than two or three at a time, i was thinging sometime in feb or march of putting together a meet, just like get that whole long stretch of road filled with bikes, big small, busa's and peds, anything and everything and just having a decent meet up there, i know its probably a dream, but does anyone know of anything that would stop that,
e.g. restrictions on bikes going there, meets that sort of thing, or just no one can be arsed, like i said, it wont be for a while untill the weather gets a tiny tiny bit warmer,

but gimmy a post back if anyone has any ideas about a meet around here!

cheers, bye

Hi

I'll pop along to this, we've had a couple of L-plate rideouts from Brighton and what it's lacked in speed has been made up in other ways.

There are some lovely twisty routes just out side of Brighton, which make some really good rides with some lovely pubs/cafes.

Yeah I'm up for that (hopefully would have passed my test before feb though so no 'l' plate!) but I'm still on a 125.

As Davo has already said, we had a pretty good meet with 'l' platers a few months back, and it was a really good day! Here it is; https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=59136

So it would be good to have another rideout soon.
Cool

exellent,

well like i said it will be in a while, i have a few friends who are also 125 riders, i call them the grandad brigade, because like me they have grandad type bikes, sr125, cb125, and mine, gp100, haha, i also have about 6 or 7 other people who are up for it, so either way there will be a few of us at least,

the more the merrier, keep in touch about it and keep it alive for now and we shall see,

it will be a few weeks away at least, so get in contact with friends and family, and to be honest, the acctuall meeting place in brighton doesnt matter what bike you have, the learners as we are could go our way and bigger boys fly on their own accord,

would just be nice to see a few dozen or hundred bikes coming to brighton and then exiting again all at the same time,

), should have something bigger than my RS125 by then (although i think i would be fast enough for this meet!!) sounds like a laugh, the riding bit may be quite gental though. good idea Thumbs Up

Few things with that post:

1. Maybe he had them because he was learning on a CBT before he did his DAS, he sounds like hes passed now so i dont see why he would still have a moped at 70...

2. I dont nod at anything with L plates, not yet proper 'bikers' IMO Razz

, see too many getting in fiestas etc when there 17...

you know he's got a point, at the end of the day, dont matter if ppl have l plates or not, and in my opinion the ppl on bigger bikes who nod at L platers are real bikers as they actually accept the fact that everyones gotta start some were and that was them with the plates several years back, if every one jumped on big bike without any riding experience then there would be crashes left right and centre due to people not being able to handle the power, so are you stupid and do not realise the fact that the whole reason for a people having to do a CBT is to gain experience on the road and riding a combustion powered bike.... or just general up yourself and the second you got rid of your l plates you thought of l platers as a bunch of wonna be????

if your the latter one then as pathetic as it may seem coming from a L plater, but i find you a poor example of some one from the biking community...

learn to accept that every one needs to start some were and for thoughs of you people who arent l plater's reading this i hope you agree with me that people on there CBT's have just as much right to be on the road riding as people on bigger bikes and they should be happy that the biking community is growing despite it's already bad name....

cheers for reading all this

Too many pricks on scooters in essex Thumbs Down

When you go past (either over take or go past opostite ways) they jus sit there giving you a dirty look. Fuck em.

I never said the CBT was a bad idea Confused

Though alot of chavvy 16 year olds dont use any of the information given in them, was behind one on a straigt road and he started swearving for about 20 seconds or so (intentionally) from left to right in the lane...somtimes over very close to oncoming traffic before coming millimeters away from hitting the curb Rolling Eyes

He decided to stop then...

I havnt said that ALL L plate noobs where little shits, and i still dont. But im suprised neither or you have yet said "shup my ped does like 80 init" Rolling Eyes

And the only time i ever had L plates when i was passing my test... Middle Finger
