Hi lads, following on from this thread after seeing all the beautiful bikes http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057222213 I think it would be a good idea if we tried to organise a day during the summer to have a "motorbikes forum members meet"

I no we have members from all over the country but if we could arrange a central location to all of us it could work

It would be a great way to put faces to names etc

What do yous think?

If anybody has suggestions feel free to post up your idea

Thanks, Darren.

blu3r0ri0n

I was thinking about that too, I'm definitely up for it. The only issue might be the location, it should be suitable for everyone.

Cienciano

Yeah, I'm never free for the regular spins, but I'd be up for a one off meet

serious3

We often have meets for our members in the 4wd club in the midlands in athlone it's kinda central for nearly everyone.

nerrad1983

Well i was sort of thinking having it at the http://www.midwaym7.com/

That is central enough for most people

I have been there before and has plenty of parking etc

This is only an idea, if other people have some ideas put them up aswell

30 mins from Carlow, no wonder your agreeing lol

Its very central and sure it would be a nice spin down that way

If Wonda comes he will be glad to no there is Subway:D

Cienciano

I'm going to have to find back roads across to make the drive interesting :pac:

Mr Sheen!

Subway so I'm in!

LOL...you know I always take the long way, I'll probably meet up with a few of you earlier and make a day of it!

It is a boring spin from Dublin.. I was thinking about a race meeting in Mondello to make the day interesting for everyone ~ of course we'd be watching other's racing

KTRIC

Count me in :-)

Not just Ireland, members span worldwide.

Wish I was there to take advantage of this opportunity, can’t think of a better way to spend a summer day than riding thru the back roads of Ireland.

goodlad

Sure it sounds grand. I rarely escape for a weekend but with enough notice im sure i can make it.

And Ktric, be careful on those back roads. At this time of year you might end up walking the bike through all the cow crap on the back roads instead of driving :p

Well Darren, since it's your OP, I think it's up to you to organise this :pac:
Pick a date, confirm a venue, decide on who you're going to get for catering and we'll work from there!

Zascar

Fantastic idea and I'd love to see as big a gathering as possible - always really hard to pick a date that suits everyone but if we do it long enough in advance I'm sure it would be a n excellent day. Happy to help in any way needed.

nerrad1983

Good to see there is a bit of interest in this lads

First things first would be to sort out a location suitable for everybody

I still think that the midway service station is a good spot i'v been to a car meet there before and it was perfect, the only bad thing about it is that its on a motorway but im sure we could all go the long way to it

Anyway open to other suggestions so if anybody has some post them up!!!

It's near the n77& n80, two decent roads for an alternative route to the motorway, they'd be less boring anyways

Also to add, I'd be up for a forum meet up. You'll probably never keep everybody happy with a date but if you give it enough advance notice I'm sure most could manage to make it.

goodlad

Anywhere at all in the country suites me fine.

Skill Magill

Heres the thing, youse are all not from Dublin and it needs to be a drive out to a place and not just a meet up, therin lies the rub!

zubair

Are we going to set a date for this?

I think it's a great idea. Would be good fun to have a big group meet/ spin. We can wreak havoc wherever we go and help old ladies cross the street, top up expired parking meters, plant trees, etc.

Saturday 14th?

Zascar

Might be an idea to see what weekends do Not work for some people. Next two weekends are out for me. Anything after that I'll just book it in... Anyone else?

the cats pajamas

I'll make the effort on any sat or sun

Wonda-Boy

Well it does not get dark till late now....so it could be a mid week date also, not everyone is off the weekends. I dont mind really but if its on a road racing weekend I will be out.

nerrad1983

Sorry, just edited my post now with a link you can get directions off

Skill Magill

Might be easier to just say Portlaoise :pac:

Cienciano

Ah yeah, I know that place, had the skankiest burger ever in that food court!
I won't be able to make the 29th, probably the only day in the next month that I have booked to do something!

Is there some form of spin planned after and what's the route? Darren?

Zascar

Here is a Google map link for the place we are meeting. I'm sure a few of us from Dublin/Wicklow will meet up and take the backroads down

nerrad1983

Well i was thinking of leaving Wicklow then heading up to Laragh, head over the gap and try to plan to meet up with others at the garage in Hollywood on the N81

From there head for Dunlavin on the N78 and in to Athy, Stradbally and that will bring us near the meet up point

According to Google its a little over an hours driving from Laragh and it looks all good twisty roads

Im sure there will be a few lads there that will no this and we can arrange something on the day

Zascar

Cool, sounds like a plan anyway I'm sure there are loads of good options.

So who else is coming?

Nerrad,

Just a quick note...if its a large group you will need to designate maybe marshall front and back so nobody gets lost. Noy trying to throw a spanner into the works but you know what its like even with 10 lads on a spin!

Alkers

95% will be able to make it but will probably have to take the motorway down and do a bit of a spin afterwards instead of beforehand.

Yea Gary I had thought of that, that's where I was hoping some off the usual Sunday spin lads could come in usefull as that is ran well when a big crowd turns up.

The last thing we would want is for people taking wrong turns and getting lost on the day.

You might have to bring your hi-vis for the day if your coming along lol
