Well it should only take an hour or so from bassets (but taking all things into acount e.g wet roads.. say 1130H to 1200H. See you there mate!!

Hi Xander,sorry I shall not be there today.I have just bought an old Z650 off a mate and cannot wait to get the spanners flying around.

well that was a good day, nice to meet everyone & so forth. somehow the back of the group ended up following the wrong bikes into buxton so we lost the rest of ya. went to someone's house for a cuppa & then i headed home the long way from there.

have to do it again some time.

EDIT: worked out on the way home why i couldnt quite settle on the bike today and why my judgement of speed/braking etc seemed off, bloody throttle grip was loose wasnt it? glued it back on again with superglue as the stuff i used last time didnt seem to work. so that should be that sorted.

Hi Hooli and all
 

Yes, it was good to meet everyone, pitty we got split up. May be we can meet up another time and try and all keep together next time, LOL:oops2:

OOOOps Ive done it again

hi ya all . well i had a great day after dithering around coz of the rain i decided to go and join in ,nice steady ride upto monyash and then a pretty good burger and chips ,getting to put a few names to faces /bikes ridden by who, now etc ,off we head to get petrol for our afternoon tour led by dave ( i think) but as we exit fourcourt we get a bit split up but we soon seem to catch up, with steve pointing us onto the correct road theres a nice little group following a 1200 gs and a suzuki with blue panniers "funny i dont remember seeing a susi before but oh well "we turn into buxton with the leader giving us the thumbs up when they pull over in town center it was two brothers (The wobbly bros)and no part of our group at all they were wondering why we were so intent on following them SORRY LADS
petemak suggested we go to there house for a cuppa as we were not likely to find others. Good cup of tea was enjoyed at bonsall and a nice friendly chat hooli and myself were last to leave and still managed to take a wrong turn straight away very nice very narrow twisty lane that was ,we soon found our bearings but still decieded on differing routes home with me going right and hooli left did u not have any faith in my navigation ?

nice to meet u all ROB

i saw the sign to matlock & decided to go around the other side of derby for a change. got home as it was getting dark so a decent day out all in all.

Thanks!
 

G'day Everyone.
I just wanted to say thanks for a great turn out and a great day. Mrs. X and I thought that due to the rain that there would be only us. But the turn out was fantastic. I would definitely say that the 1st midlands micro meet was a complete success. I personally have to give a special thanks to Mick for taking us on a great tour on roads that i would have never been able to find on my own, it was a shame that we lost the rest of the pack (dont really understand what happened??), but our three bike intimate raid was excelent! It was great seeing some HUbbers out side of the big meets, enjoyed a good burger and I can suggest the egg and bacon roll. And hope these micro meets become a regular thing!

Thanks again to all that braved the weather and risked the disorganisation of anything i do (I blame the penguins)! I hope to see you soon at ... The attack of the spinach monster... The Midland Micro Meet 2 MUHAHAHHAAAAAAAA (hey it is almost halloween after all a little cheeziness is required!.

Good day
