Classic bike gathering

[Ixion]

Sounds like a pran

[twotyred]

dose a '92 count as classic?

in 2012 it will...

[The Pastor]

in 2012 it will...

hey, thats not too far away

[Ixion]

But we're all going to die in 2012 !

[Taz]

I'm already dead.....

[Dodgyiti]

Open to suggestions....
( I have a recovery vehicle available)

I will be going to the classics by hook or by crook, it's a tradition and the final Puke one.

Motu: on the grass under the trees by the dug out seating if I am forced to take the Val, or showing up Max-PotentialGuzziOwner-Headroom by parking next to him in the bike parking area.

Unfortunatly at the moment the only thing I can sustain twisting the thottle on is my G/F's 200cc Chinese Scorpio lookalike, please give me 'the bash' if I show up on that.

[Max Headroom]

.....showing up Max-PotentialGuzziOwner-Headroom by parking next to him in the bike parking area.

Mate, that's just not an option. After all, what would I do with my lederhosen and beer stein collection?

Cool, I'll set up my portable espresso machine and bring some Leaning Tower pizzas....

...of course this all hinges on whether the WOF man is in a good mood tomorrow.

Kinky bastard.

I can ride! A real-ish bike! Been out on the Convert all weekend. Throttle cables cleaned and teflon sprayed.
Sweet, so see you lot at the Classics, have my Motu pointing finger fully rested and ready.

I could also go on the ride the weekend after that, at the back of the pack as my 'ole Convert has the acceleration of a Westie solo mum on her way to the money machine on DPB day.

[Ixion]

So, returning to the original proposal, and side lining all this stuff about dubious old scrap iron from forn parts that no proper Briddish rider would look at, on account of they lost the War n'all), is it the Sunday after Motu-pointing?

Shall we go from somewhere to somewhere else. At some time or other?

Would a calendar thingy be an idea?

[Ixion]

I created a calendar entry.

I put it down for the 15th Feb, but as it's actually the first Sunday after Motu-pointing, it's a moveable feast.

I propose to make the route simple so as there are no need for 'pointing' or maps and the like.
Arrive 10:00...depart 10:30
How about meet at the Mackers/BP at the top of Bombay Hills, Ararimu, Hunua, Clevedon, Orere, Kaiaua for lunch at the chip shop/pub, Miranda, SH2 and finishing at Pokeno for an ice cream.
We all know the route and Dodgyiti can put a trailer on the convert to pick up 'loose bits' and carry oil and spares.

Do we need rules?
How about a HP cap....65 jumps to mind.
thats my tup'ence worth

[Ixion]

65 HP What is this , the TT ? I reckon 40 is more than sufficient for anyone. And a maximum of two cylinders.

And do you really think anyone old enough to be interested will remember that complicated a route?

[Richard Mc F]

I classify any thing I ride as a classic, so this fat old bastard may bring his new fat old boik..............I mean an FJ1200 is a classic init?

[Ixion]

If its got only two cylinders (exceptions made for Benelli V8s). Someone bring a petrol powered cut off saw thing for shortening too-long engines.


(Anyone welcome. )
