Newark Meet

Hi all,
Since it's been mentioned in a couple of other threads, thought it should have one of it's own to get some sort of
feeling about a date.

I'm free on 27th March, 24th April and 8th May if these are Ok with other folk.
Think the one in April is Easter Sunday though, so maybe Monday 25th as well.

Hi Ken - I can do March and April but not the May date. Count me in anyway.

Also - I will lead a North Yorks ride out this year too. I think the easiest thing is to watch the weather forecast then post a thread on the Wed or Thurs and see who's free. Maybe do 2 or 3 as the year goes by.

Ken, 27th March is possible for me. The other dates clash with Falclimber outings. Newark isn't so far from here either.

Don't know about the May date yet but I shall be in Japan on 27th March and Easter Sunday will not be possible (maybe Easter Monday though).

If it's best for others when I can't make it, then please enjoy yourselves without me.

Only real option or me is the 27th of March, as I'm in Cyprus the end of April and early May. sorry Ken.
Might be good to go for a couple of alternative dates like last year, when we got a good turn out for both.

Ooo sounds good!

Would like to make the effort this year whenever you decide to do it as long as we are around Leics, March might be out as the bike won't be insured/taxed until April

April - Bank Holiday Monday is better for me, could also do the March date though!

North Yorks ride out sounds good, count me in for that one.

That sounds good to me Dave, I would certainly be interested.

Easter weekend is favourite here. It's also the Horsham Italian weekend then, but I think the Saturday (22nd) is the bike day.

So ................. is anything planned?

I'm no longer going to Japan on 27th (next weekend) so there's a possibility of me making this if it's happening.

Not saying for sure I'll make it but would be good to know if it's happening

My bike is still not together.... i hope some of the parts i need will be arriving this week though....


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...

Noooooo - never take them apart unless you've got all the parts you need to get riding again!
