19th of august was the date Howard but i am hoping that maybe we can alter that has it may be a bit selfish but i like martdude and randsomesquids company.
And i am sure thay would like to attend for the ride out also :smt023
Firestarter will also be able to attend at a later date also maybe :smt003
Thanks for thinking of me & the squid - for my past, I'd love to come on this thrash, but if the majority have settled on that date, I shan't be overly offended - might stamp my red-booted foot, though

Hopefully we'll have a very good gathering of them at the forum weekend in Norfolk (1st weekend in Sept)

Obviously other meets before then are great .... as long as everybody makes sure they don't use up their pass-outs for the Not-A-Wake weekend.

I have not mentioned that one to sally yet, i might have to book a few days off work later in the week. :smt017
School holidays and all that :smt002
Has in regards to the buxton meet i would like to arrange another date, we had a lot of admiring looks with the aprilia's in convoy last time,
or maybe peolple thinking stupid buggers riding in the shitty weather. :smt018
Maybe kiwiboy might want to come again, it was nice that kerry travelled such a great distance to come and see us last time :smt003

I'm up for any date that isn't the same as the aprilia club weekend. :smt002
If Kerry wants to come and wants to break the trip he's welcome to overnight here.

Bing out the gimp !!!
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Just one comment about where we might meet.
Having organised one meeting at Newark Barge and helped to organise another, there is not much point saying meet somewhere at 12:00 and expecting lots of people to come long distances and all get there on time.
I seem to remember that the first people to arrive at Newark got there at 11:30 and the last arrived after 14:15 hrs, so it is good to meet at a bike meeting place like Newark Barge where you can also get all kinds of drinks hot and cold and also get a meal or a snack.
Can't say I have ever been to Morrisons Car Park ( :smt017 ), but might it not be better to meet at the Cat and Fiddle itself.
It is also nice to see the faces on other bikers when more and more Falcos turn up, as many have never seen one Falco never mind 10 or 20.

Our site people coming from different parts of the country can all turn up at a time that suits them best.
Others can still meet up on the way in and arrive in groups.

Just a reminder of what it is like to get a nice group of Falcos together at a bike meet, Newark Barge April 2009 -

Extra nice on a sunny day, the year before it pissed it down.

that will be why its sunny then - Noah went by car.....


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Been by bike to forum meets there in the wet and also on nice sunny days.

The data does not support your hypothesis.

Also, in the account of Noah, he wasn't the reason for all the rain - that was down to everyone else ......

.... so, again, the hypothesis is not supported ....
