Does anyone travel to Whitby, North yorkshire, for the biker meetings?

we normally get around 12,000 bikers around town during the meetings, just curious as to weather any of you lot come here.

Whitby is nice though, I was there last year to visit mates and rellies, watched some hardcore surfies going hard in the north sea, bloody frezing out.

No hang on I might be mistaken, maybe it was whitley bay instead, always get them mixed up, which is the one that was captain cooks home town and in which one did dracula's ship dock at on his trip to england from the old country, 'cus if thats whitley then I've never been to whitby....... ahem

but whitby and whitley bay are close to each other, I mean relatively - which one is on the tyne

[bugjuice]

there are some peeps in the UK, just not enough to make a splash there..
it's very much a kiwi site unfortunate for the bikers outside of that, not that you ain't welcome ;)
just that UK KBer's are few and far between..

the river Esk runs through Whitby so id guess at whitly bay, although i have never been there...about 70 miles from here i think, not sure tho but i know it aint close

Then in that case I've never been to whitby, christ that got confusing for a moment.

fog on the tyne is all mine and all that.

[QUOTE=XXplosive]Does anyone travel to Whitby, North yorkshire, for the biker meetings?

Rode up there last year

a few bikes there, nice place but too many people, it is a typical tourist trap

pubs were chaotic, next time I'll go mid week in the middle of winter maybe the place will be empty

magpie cafe famous for its fish & chips had a horrendous queqe and they were shite anyway

[terbang]

Used to live in North Shields which is on the north side of the Tyne river mouth (Why Aye man she's a Canny wee Toon) and Whitley bay is just up the road its a wild place on a friday night.. Whitby is further south (not as far south as Palmerston North though) and is where James Cook learned his trade..
Too many people and to damn cold in the winter.

Every day!

Ah... Your talking whitby UK, not NZ

I used to do the wetherby / whitby / scarborough (ollies mount) run a lot on my 350ypvs... that seems like a LONG time ago now.

I remember the days of passing the lines of stationary cars on their way to the sea side whilst doing 100+ (mph) sometimes I wonder how the hell I am still on the planet.
