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...)

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

I would have gone anywhere on my 250u highly underestimated bike.I did 10000 mile on an Aprilia RS50 in one year.
Mick
I did go everywhere Mick. Now on my 5th CD250 and still have the 1988 one in Greece. This what i have never understood. People go back and forth to work, clocking up 12,000 miles in a year but panic to take a car or motorcycle 2,000 miles to somewhere like greece.

Post by: Nurse Julie on December 15, 2014, 10:23:53 PM
The 400 is a good bike for distance. I have done Greece on a piaggio typhoon and a CD250, they never came back. Also done India and Kenya on a dominator and that is not much bigger than a CB400 four.
Ok,the bike would make it but I find that I seize up after about 150 miles !!!. Rode from Perth, Western Australia to Sydney about 20 years ago on a Harley, I doubt if I could make Perth, Scotland to Edinburgh without needing to stop 3 times to stretch the legs these days;D ;D ;D

It's never easy getting a few of us together I know. However, if some of you could try to make it Steph and myself would be keen to meet up in the New Forest/Sammys. How about making it down on the Sat lunchtime, time/weather permitting and we could take you around the Forest for a run (we'll be on the 550 and 750) which would include late lunch, beer and 'chew the fat' into early evening?
I'm actually running the Sammy Jap day the next day (10am)on the Sunday and I would reckon it will attract around 300 plus 'Jappers' of which around 100 will be classics. 3pm and it all quieten downs. Just a thought?
Lot's of B n B's around Ringwood, Lyndhurst, Western side of Southampton (don't recommend centre of!) Verwood and Fordingbrindge to mention a few!😊 any thoughts?
Nige.

Saying that if for whatever reason can't go racing I would love a trip to Sammys.
May I suggest meeting up in King's lynn on a event called Dirtquake, it's bloody good fun to watch and should be easy to find campsite near.
http://www.sideburnmag.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/dirt-quake-iv.html
17 July friday is a racing for flat trackers and final is on 18th with all the other racing as well.
Would love to meet up people who so kindly help with sorting my bike.
I hope I have it running by summer...

No, it's a Sunday event. But a busy one! I also forgot to mention that there are plenty of camping venues in the New Forest. Sandy Balls, Nr Fordingbridge is a popular one, with at least 3 lovely 'Forest' style pubs nearby😊. A sat ride out down to the coast for excellent fish n chips is highly recommended!
I'd be grateful if anyone thinks this is something they'd like to do and get together I'd like to hear from them? My phone no is 07968 980624. Or PM me. Ta.

if youre looking at a good place to stop overnight, the versys forum stayed at the swallow falls complex in betws y coed in north wales. there are chalets and room for camping although the breakfast wasnt great. it seemed a good meeting point for those based further north. just a suggestion.
I have ridden up to Port Merion and back for a day out,
not to far from Betws y coed,lovely biking roads,
well worth a few days to play,
the Sammy Miller do,I hope to ride down on the sunday,for a day out,weather permiting

Really chuffed to see so much interest in this event from yourselves. As the organiser, along with Sammy's, of course you will be able to line up in your own group!😎 I will make sure that as you arrive, you will all be lined up together in the forcourt
Perhaps you can confirm you're likely to be there a couple of days before? I'd be most grateful. Any of you coming down the day before? Steph and myself would love to meet up on the 750/550 and maybe a sneaky beer to boot in the Forest!😋
Please call me if you have a question or two or any suggestions you may have for either day?

If would seem that way if I didn't bump into mike the bike I would still be going around the forest trying to find everyone.
Why should I take photos when everyone else can do it for me. ;D

Who's is who on the piccies? And who's is the twin ? ... could be either a CB250 or 350K4 in that colour. The only one I can identify is Julie's lovely 400/4. Is it a USA import Julie, as it only has a single front mudguard stay?
Definitely will be at Lotherton Hall VJMC show if it's on this year and of course Stafford in October.
Cheers ... Ash

Julie just noticed your pipes are touching ;D ;D;D ;D ;D That is a pretty hammer.
Mick
Great weekend, lovely to see you all and your lovely bikes. I will post some pics later, riding back to Kent later today. Ash, no, my 400 is a UK model but has the wrong front mudguard on.

65 Classic bikes made it. 205 jap bikes in total!😊 the previous day we made it to the pub and met there Sat evening. I'm amazed Mike and Dave managed to sleep at all in there teeeeeeny tent!?!👀
Good to see Graham (Trigger) and Julie (Nurse) who popped by my place for a cuppa before their journey home. Learning a lot from Graham - he has some good ideas...😉
I hope more can meet up next year? I'll be running an even bigger show next year around this time at Sammy's once again.
Nige.

I know the Sammy Miller meet is only just over,but while everyone is raving how good it was,
lets consider another meeting,
this is in Wiltshire,maybe to far for those living in the east of the country,but very worthwhile visiting,
see the link,
http://www.calnebikemeet.com/
the main date is a saturday,
Post by: tom400f on June 16, 2015, 12:06:40 PM
Wiltshire very doable for me.
Post by: Steph550 on June 16, 2015, 06:47:17 PM
It was great to meet some of you and put faces to the forum names! :) Sorry I didn't get more time to chat at Sammy Miller's, I kept having to dash off and try to herd bikers into parking spaces (a bit like herding cats??) ;)
Thanks for making the big effort to ride all the way and support the show! Hopefully we can meet up again soon.
Cheers,
Steph.

No way should the gold bike win just because it turned up clean and polished ;D ;D

Hope we can all meet up again next year and take on board Juilie's suggestions.
My K0 and the exhausts have a new owner and I have suggested he keeps an eye on this fab and helpful site for support/advice, should he need it.
Just the Bomber, K1 and the Triumph TR6 now.....😔 keeping those but I always keep an eye out for a project...👀

I was only joking with you Steve, I have spent many a day over the years in the pits at Brands with the riders and teams of BSB, happy days.
But saying that, I'm still looking for the wires on my front caliper, is the wire a OEM part, where do I get some from, my 400/4 passed it's MOT without it ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
