U.K. 2021 GSX1400 meet

[Rynglieder]

I'm watching with interest - hopefully if something comes up in the UK I'll be able to participate, it all depends on dates of course.

 :hat:I`ve read that the MCN show at Peterborough has been postponed due to Covid restrictions. The revised dates are now September 4th & 5th. apparently.

Well that's got me out of jail. When I first posted about meeting on the 15th of May I completely forgot that's my supervisors (wife's) birthday😂🤣😂🤣

So how about all those interested in getting together arranging to meet up for a GSX1400 extravaganza on September 4th or 5th at the MCN show at Peterborough 🤗🤗🤗🤗

We could all meet up at stormin the castle mid September

[Big Phil]

Shit! That's quite a journey for me but Hey Ho I'm up for it. Would book an overnight stay in a hotel and then head back the next day.

I would consider that `The Northern Rally` Seth.....

[seth]

North of England maybe but its halfway up or down the UK.
That's why I suggested it .
If I was looking at a northern meeting and I'm thinking of later this year or next year organising another Scottish meet up somewhere as near to mid Scotland as I can (north of perth)  for all who would like to attend.
You'd be most welcome I'd even buy you a beer or 2

I'm attending the GTR Owner's meet in May (as long as Ms. Sturgeon does not kill off the hotel accommodation) and we are basing at Tyndrum again. I'm really looking forward to riding those roads again.

It would be nice to take the GSX up there next year...

[Rynglieder]

I've never atended any of the big shows or rallies - are they a practical place for people to find each other and get together?

A GSX only meet up somewhere followed by a short ride would be my preference - something like Matlock Bath and a ride up over the Peak Distict to Ladybower perhaps?

(Although admittedly on a busy day in Matlock Bath it could be just as hard to find half a dozen adjacent parking spaces or your fellow riders!)

[seth]

Matlock was where I spent my early biking years as I was from 20 miles away .
I thought if stormin as it's big enough to have enough room to meet up and it's about halfway up the UK.
I'd be all got something up in scotland as it's easy for me to arrange something for all.
I'd be up for a run to the green welly we did that on the first Scottish meet up they a ride to oban via Glen Coe (a but wet on the day though)

Its a good point - rallies are easy meets, but parking up together and trying to find anyone at a big show is damn near impossible. You could be stood by your bike all day without seeing anyone else - especially not knowing exactly who you're looking for!! We used to ride to shows together, but that was easy as we were all from the same town.
A possible way forward could be to arrange a meet outside a show at a specified pub and time for a chin-wag over a pint, then those who want into the show can go, others do whatever. Most local bike meets are held in pubs up and down the country.......worth a thought i suppose.
