As the Southern Softies appear to be getting their act together and organising a meet, what about the Norn'ers and Jocks doing the same

i dont think there is many northerners in here really is there? and to what destination?

Speaking as one of the soft sotherners that made the 400mile round trip for the last 3 years.

You have squires..... Hence the need for something further south....

400 mile round trip, what bike was that on? i wouldnt do that on my dt no way, would rather suck a fart out of a camels arse.

Tdr 250. With the ride out and getting lost (tradition ask blackhat) more like 500 for the weekend.

2 wheels did it the first year on his dt. From ireland it was more like 800 miles.

dayum... what a guy

how far north are you talking about ??

I am in dumfries , not sure how many north of the border ( gods country ) there are on here.

Where were you thinking of as I'm in Duham if that's fare enough north for you just let me know when and where and I'll see if I can get to the meet

this topic should be in ride out's and meets section.

Squires is a great place and a fair few here take time out to make the trip.

blackhat always gets lost, he follows us then gets bored and waves as he blasts past us and that's the last time we see him for a few hours

There is a place where my matemeets up with other bikers at The Pit stop cafe bike meet at the old philly bus station in Washington If any one was looking for some where to meet up its on a Monday night 5pm till late I was told there are a few people get to it I may have a look myself . HTH any one local

would be a 224 mile round trip
