Cool, sounds good to me! Perhaps respond to people's PMs with the address too ;) I'll be a starter, not sure about my partner yet. Will depend on which weekend it is, and which day... I'll let you know on that one.

From numbers you can work out how to solve your seating problem too, gotta be room for each bum to sit (some need more room than others! :dodge:) Even if you pick up old sofas destined for the dump just for the occasion, should do the trick. :niceone:

Well I didn't put my address on purpose.

But I am in Hornby for those who need to know the general area.

I will work out seating once I know who's coming. Might just be a lot of deck chairs in my yard, drive and garage haha

should be ok to go, anyday except the 24th, thats BEARS racing for a few of us :Punk:

SpeedyGirl

6th June 2007, 08:44

Well since I live in Hornby would be rude not to turn up :)

Ghost_Bullet

6th June 2007, 20:17

I could well be in, never met ya, but perfect oprtunity.
Got a few things on over the next few weekends, so 16th and 23rd would be out for me.
Congrats on the new home:Punk: , I lived in Hornby from 97 to 05, great area with all the stuff ya need. And finally they seem to have got that mall kinda right.

Other wise we's guess we'll see ya about somewhere, if not there.:yes:

Silage

6th June 2007, 22:14

As another Hornbyite, I am keen to bounce along. You decide the day then PM address to me/us. The will be one or two of us depending on which day.
At least a line up of bikes in Hornby won't cause the neighbours too much grief.

6th June 2007, 23:17

How does this sound for everyone -

June 17th - 1:30pm at my place for for bbq (I'll buy a bundle of bread and sausages and some drinks) and chatting and around 3-4pm group ride to Esplande in Brighton where they have live music and a bqq (anyone been to that btw?) for those who want more grub.

The Lone Rider

8th June 2007, 01:55

The above plan cool with everyone?

Deviant Esq

8th June 2007, 02:10

Sounds pretty solid to me, I'm pretty sure I'll be free on the 17th. If I bring my bike my partner can't come, because I'm on my restricted... but she has no gear anyway so that's beside the point. But meh, doesn't matter, she'll probably be happy to go and see her parents anyway, so I'll come. :)

Rashika

8th June 2007, 06:21

thats should be cool, catch ya then! :Punk:

8th June 2007, 06:50

Ghost_Bullet

8th June 2007, 08:42

Yup, me guess's that day should be *cool*, a snow dumping would be sure cool:cold:.
There is a good chance of my presence. :yes:
In all my years of living I do not think I have been to a house warming, are matches a prerequisite?:shit: :shutup:

I wouldn't mind a ride on your GSXR, but you wouldn't need the extra seat or lid... :devil2: Shame it's feeling sorry for itself right now!

Sorry GSXR! Get well soon, hope you don't get written off! :bye:
What bike are you riding there?

Yeah could probably do that, though I'll be heading over a little earlier to help set up... so if you're cool with that... :)

i hope it doesn't either:no: , i will be annoyed if it surivied a 13okm/m crash, just to be written off in a 20-30km/h crash.

borrowing mates honda vfr750, not quite the same as the gixxer, but i'm grateful to have a bike to ride.
will txt you about it, i will be riding with kawa4, so have to check what he is doing

The Lone Rider

13th June 2007, 19:46

I think with the number of people, I will have to say standing room only now unless you bring your own chair as I only have seating for maybe 15 max (and thats really stretching it)

Want me to drop off 6 seats to you before hand??? I'm just around the corner

The Lone Rider

14th June 2007, 17:42

Yeap, that would be good.

If anyone else wants to help, someone can bring along an onion or two and some margarine/butter as I forgot to buy some.

And lastly, I just bought a cat today so it'd be good that if someone pops inside to use the loo that they keep him in. I need him to get used to the inside before I let him roam around outside.

The Lone Rider

17th June 2007, 18:06

Thanks to all who came along, and those who brought along anything. Nice meeting you all.

BBQ at speedys next I reckon :P

My net is fucking around so I wont be able to check messages very regularly until I shove a stick up slingshots backside.
