Anyone from Brum can escort fuzz?

If not I'll see if my mate johnny can make it, he's in brum (be wrned though, he gets lost a lot).

Hinkley is West of Brum, a bit North of Rugby. Multimap should help you. It's just off the A5.

If you want some cruisers along, I can invite the rest of the gang from BW. If they turn up they will definately scare the cars away.

Still working on a meetin gplace and time, but for those who like Triumphs, Hinkley is where their factory is.

Shade
Here to help.

[JodieWodie]

WOOHOOOO we have people !!

I don't know Hinckley that well...I have only lived in the Midlands for 2 years....so only getting to know MY town at the moment!!

I will leave it to Shade to finalise the meeting place and details.....
he is a good organiser

*eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*
excited squeal

I may have to give it a miss after all. I'm doing DAS ASAP so I'll probably be having lessons for the next few Saturdays. I'll try and come along to the next one though, when I've got rid of those 'L's

I still haven't met any of you yet, and I'd like to make some new aquaintances.

I'm based in Brum. Assuming I can get an ignition barrel sorted before the end of the month then I'll try and make it up. There's some nice roads around that side of the city. I'll lurk at the back and let the car drivers ogle my arse /nod.
This of course is if the ZZR stops smoking long enough to let anyone behind me actually see anything.

I think we should have some kind of photo thread going on so I can see what you all look like before the meet !!

In fact I will do one

[Davo]

So where exactly are we meeting, and at what time?

[JodieWodie]

[Shade_BW]

Well, I reckon we should meet HERE

It's a Little Chef on the A5 near hinckley. Should have a large enough car park for us to gather, and the early people can grab a cup of coffee etc while we wait for the rest.

Since some of us are travelling quite a way, I'd suggest 12 noon.

This area should be easily accessible by A roads for learners, and has motorways near by for the rest of us should we wish to use them.

Plenty of country roads, a dual carriageway, some twisties, some residentials, some industrial estates (should we feel the need for some of you to wheelie, or even just for u-turns).... looks like everything is close by.

Feel free to agree with this or suggest an alternative.

Shade
Organising things.

[Shade_BW]

What do you want to do?

It's your day after all. It would be much better if you decided what you wanted to get from it, rather than having it dictated by us lot, or me for that matter

But I find a nice long run of an hour or more is much better than wee trips. You get to feel it all come together, and can actually feel an improvement in your own riding after that time.

You'll be up to speed in no time.

Any chance of a postcode so I can get directions to there? I'm going to be coming from near Bradford if I can make it so will need some directions.

Sooty

[yambabe]

Well well well it appears we may be joining you after all Jodie. We are due to be in Rugby that weekend which is easily near enough to come & say hello.

I will be on a medium-sized cruiser, does that count?

Look carefully at the map. If that aint good enough, there is a "nearest little chef" thing on the right with the postcode etc.

Shade
Thought Multimap was enough.

[Fallen Angel]

Sounds like you've got some amount of people coming for this Ride Out Jodie - Luck You!! Just a shame you live so far down South or I'd definitely come down for it!
