BMW R1200R R1150R/T F800 K1200R R1100R/T R1250R RnineT Message Board

Ok - I'd like to do another Rockster gathering this year, sometime in the summer (more than likely), I'm thinking a lunch time meet somewhere as convenient/pleasant as possible for anyone interested to come and on a weekend.

I'm thinking the best "area" to meet up in would be somewhere between Oxford & Banbury areas - simply because it's fairly near the middle of the country, and a reasonable distance for all (I'm guessing here) - but if only those in London are interested... we'll do it in/near London.

Who would be interested?

Hello Riceburner.... long time no 'speak'. Not logged in here for a while now

i maybe interested in that... would you be thinking a weekend?
i'm up in Leicester so just about mid country

I’m just outside Banbury so it would be rude not to attend. Weekend\Day Ride\Meet for lunch is all fine by me. I could look to put together a route if required. Sounds good to me

I've only just joined and found this thread as a bit of good fortune. I'm in South Wales so Leicester is a big distance for me, but if you were further West (Birmingham sounds better), I'd think about a weekend away with my wife and throw a meet in for good measure.

Have not looked at the board for more than a month.

Bike is not in use and rotting away slowly in the garage, needs love and elbow grease 1st.
On top of everything I am going to be moving house (+60 miles to reach Oxfordshire).

But hey - must go to my 1st bike meeting!

Riceburner - please can you PM me once things get closer (like 6 weeks before the event)?

Cheers

sounds good to me as well - based in Warwick so would have a lie in if held at Banbury only 25 miles down the road.

Looks like the Banbury area is going to be a good bet from the replies so far.

(I'll be coming from South London btw).

Anyone have any preference for when? I was thinking a Sunday Lunch meet maybe June/July time?

Great Idea but to short Notice to plan this between my several BMW Rockster Tours this Summer..... See also the largest Rockster Forum on: http://www.rockster-forum.com/forum.htm
In German, but me as Dutchman, I am very Happy on it and those Rockster Guys getting better on English !

In Bristol and would be interested, so let us know when and where.

Hi there,

Looking good so far.

Alf - could you recommend a decent pub somewhere in the area for the meet (if you know the area well). Must do good food and welcome bikes.
Cheers!

i'm in Bristol too, if its on the weekend, i would be interested. !!!

Any decisions yet guys, summers gettin on .Longest day today, tomorrow the nights will be drawing in. lol

Sorry - no decisions yet! I'm afraid I'm having to move house in July, so my time is totally taken up until after that (about mid-july) - will have to see about doing something in August maybe? (oh the horror.... )

Afraid that I’ve only just checked this thread. More than happy to arrange a meet point, camping, pubs, roads whatever:) RB: I’ll PM you.

Right -

Can I have a show of Hands (metaphorically speaking) for those who would be up for:

1) The Meet occurs on a SATURDAY late lunchtime, and we turn it into a Saturday overnight Camping event (ie we book some places at a campsite, preferably spitting distance from a good pub, meet daytrippers at the pub and then carry on after they're dragged away by familial duties)

OR


2) The Meet occurs on a SUNDAY mid-lunchtime at a suitable establishment, and we make it a couple of hours, then everyone goes home.

Please post below stating which would be preferable to you, and things will start to be arranged. As for dates - I'm thinking one of the first 3 weekends in August will probably be most suitable - any preferences, again - please post.

( IF the concensus appears to be for 2) I will probably do a saturday camp anyway, I'll just pitch up late afternoon rather than making a complete weekend of it. Anyone wishing to do the same will be welcome to join me, natch. )

Option 1 for me if i"M coming all that way am making a night of it.

Won't be the 6-8th August, I've had an invite to the Pilgrim Rally.

TAKE IT NOTHING HAPPENING GUYS, I AM GOING TO THE HIZZY RUN AS A MARSHALL. CAMPING ON THE SATURDAY NIGHT BBQ AND BEER IF ANY OF YOU INTERESTED . RUN ON SUNDAY THE 29TH AUGUST. KNOCK HILL TO DENHOLM. SURELY SOME OF YOU COULD COME UP, CHEAP CAMPING GOOD ROADS AND I WILL ORGANISE A RUN ON THE MONDAY IF ANY OF YOU ARE UP OR IT. THERE" S NOT THAT MANY OF US SO COME ON................
