Group Meet.
« on: December 15, 2014, 11:40:26 AM »
All this talk of group meets and nothing ever happens.
So if we determine how far people are willing to travel we may be able to chose a Start and finish location and for how many days.

How about planning to go round in a big circle ?. That would probably give more people a chance to just come along for a day ride or an overnight stay, or 2 days or whatever they fancy.

That sounds an excellent idea Julie, for me a 2 or 3 day jaunt would be very difficult, given the kids. But a route heading from south to northwest then northeast then back south sounds good, the die hards can do a several day tour, those of us who are a bit less committed could tag along for a bit. Definitely after the frost and salt, it wrecks havock on the bikes finish and isn't fun. Ive done a decade and  more of commuting in it. I would need 6 weeks notice to book leave from work and only if no one else has booked already.
Got a 500/4 with rust and a sidecar and loadsa bits. nice and original and been round the clock

I have put down 150 miles on the survey, if it did end up mostly up north i could bring the bike in the motorhome then join in the ride at a certain point

I think this is a great idea.

I've only ever met two or three of you...

Mid Wales does for me, although I might have to bring a bike with more power, decent handling and good brakes (that'll be the Tiger then...)

Any good places to stay near Llandrindod Wells? We could do Newtown/Crossgates and go to Aberaeron for ice cream. Elan Valley and the Military Road to round it off. (Too many Welsh trips with my Triumph mates...)

never snows ,or rains in Wales !!!

 I live only 40 mls from Llandrindod,
 

in the new year,when it gets warmer I could do some web searches,I sometimes play golf at Builth Wells,not far from Llandod,
they may know of a few places,

let me know suggested dates,
and yes,My CB500-4 has visited the area often
