Will do.

Quite probable. But not at 10.00; I don't do mornings very well unless there's money or sex involved.

Probable will need reminding I don't do sex or money very well even if mornings are involved or did I misunderstood that? ;)

Added it to my diary, have a nasty feeling I've got to be in Durham that day though.

This event may be cancelled due to high volumes of police activity around that area.

The police have been pulling anything on two wheels with an engine and issuing on the spot fines.

Some have had fines up to 200 quid for not having stamped exhausts and cut down number plates.

The information I was reading, is that the police are looking for anything to give a fine.

I have posted up on fb and asked the other groups if they still want this event to take place?

Your thoughts?

Typical, mid-year targets not met, so let's get some 'low hanging fruit'

Thanks for the heads up

I was in matlock bath a couple of weeks ago (not on a bike) was visiting friends in derby and decided on a day out..
What a "funny little place" its like a seaside resort but without the sea .lmao......I liked it a lot .

So what's yer thinking then, Jay? Rather than cancel would it make more sense to do the old five way cafe meet?

I'll be honest - arranging a meet for places where loads of bikers hang out is always liable to attract the wrong sort of attention (i.e. Police and knobheads). Both Matlock Bath and the Buxton-Macc road are like a magnet for Police; they always want the easy pickings so that's where they head.

Far better to leave them to it and ride the road(s) less travelled...

I've got a legal plate and cans.
I'm a good boy me.

I'll go with the flow, whatever you decide is best.

And, Matlock seems to have become one of those places riders visit in order to be noticed by other riders.

If they give you a ticket for a non stamped can, take their badge number and tell them to sod off.

Exhausts don't have to be stamped since they changed the law back in 2006 (due to the use of removable DB killers). Tell them to come back with a DB meter and try again. As for the plates we all know it's wrong and some of us take the chance (me included), just ride faster past them, if it's that small they won't get your reg number hahahaha
