I'm his co. pilot so i'll have to go. Kind of a Maverick and Goose thing really

[SoND]

I'd go but I'm only on a 4t 125. Couldn't exactly keep up.

Depending on bump shape, size and general wellness
I'm gonna try to at least meet up with you somewhere.
Its bloody ridiculous, savo only lives 7 miles away and we still haven't met up.
I might take the zx6.... or I might take the cbr125


Just as a small hijack. My local bike club are organising a big run in April, before the race season starts again, last year we had 100+ bikes and raised £4600 for local charity and had class craic.

Anyhow....end of hijack

[The Dude]

Hey Wildcat. I've been all over the net trying to find bike clubs around Northern Ireland. Are there many around?

[wildcat]

I have been to a run recently organised by a club in lisburn, and one organised by a club in banbridge and the dungannon club done a fantastic run in September.
Then there are clubs like sins n twins who organise a rally every year in cooley which is a blast.

You're in Belfast aren't you?
I'll ask at the next meeting and let you know your nearest.

[The Dude]

Yeah i'm in Belfast. Cheers

[wildcat]

Maybe a meet at mc donalds sprucefield? It's kinda easy for all to get to, plus you can grab a cuppa while everyone says hi.
Also that route might be a bit hopeful for January, did you realise its 280ish miles long?

I'd suggest a shorter route at first, as nobody knows each other riding style or abilities. Also means that anyone on a 125 could go too.

Just suggestions

[-Savage-]

wel im not exactly the most sensible of people wildcat pet lol, as your more experienced (and a woman) i guess your right. lol

[wildcat]

Not that much more experienced sweetheart, but it would be a good idea to make it a shorter run so we can kinda get to know each other a bit better, both on and off the roads, There will be loads of chances to meet up again over the year.
And as the Irish member number numbers are still quite low, it would be nice to be able to meet up with as many as possible, including the peeps on smaller bikes.

You're the pilot Savo, so don't change your plans just cos i'm a woman and always right KIDDING
I'd be up for a long run myself, just tryin to accomodate everyone.

[The Dude]

A shorter run is probably a better idea. Maybe up to Nutts Corner and on through Antrim to Lough Neagh or something like that. Then back down the Antrim road into belfast and stop of at Belfast Castle. Just a thought.

[TimC]

hey all, registered on this site because i seen this post as so far i havnt found any groups of bikers in northern ireland. im only ona cg125 so anything over 60mph and im dead! but if noone minds id love to come on the run if only to meet other people!

[-Savage-]

[mrchips]

I might tag along in belfast as long as Ig et my 125 built up again, de-insured the 500 cause it was costing too much for all I was using it.

Welcome TimC. The more the better
Anyone know a nice cafe we could all go to and have a coffee in the carpark?

[The Dude]

Me and the Monster at Belfast Castle on Christmas day afternoon. It was a bit misty

[Jamie.]

hi, im in newtownards and would love to go with you guys, i have a DT125r, but hopefully have a bigger bike by the better weather (passed bike test last monday)

would be great to meet up with other bikers as only a few of my mates have bikes now

keep me updated

[The Dude]

Congrats on passing Jamie. You're more than welcome

[mrchips]

Are yous intending to pass Antrim/Newtonabbey?

if im able to go my mate and myself will be coming via newtownabby mr chips, so as long as you dont go to fast we could go asa group to meet the rest!

[The Dude]

Well pass anywhere where people need us to. Closer to the time we'll get some sort of route sorted out that makes it easy for everyone. If there are a few of you close, then once we sort out a route, you can get together in your little groups and we can meet up. I had the idea of anyone in Belfast or close by, meeting at Belfast Castle. It's all open to debate at this point though. Feel free to suggest. If someone knows a nice destination with a cafe or somewhere we can grab a beverage, that would be good.

[Jamie.]

seems like theres gonna be quite a few going, but i always feel my tank just isnt big enough, i can get 95-105 miles going easy and 80 odd going reasonably hard, it costs £7.80 to fill it right up, maybe someone else on a 125 tell me what their mpg is, incase theres a prob with my bike

[The Dude]

Don't worry about all that. We'll ride to suit everyone. The most important point of it all is just for us to all meet up instead of all sitting at computers chatting about bikes all the time. My bike went on reserve after 107 miles yesterday
