Welcome to the forum dilligaf It certainly sounds like you don't 'gaf' Good banter on here you should fit right in.
Hello dilligaf , Welcome in from a Sandancer !!! good to see another northeastener on the forum, Please note our second forum meet / piss-up and piss-take meet is happening at Bellingham (Kielder meet) in JULY be quick last two bunks available in the very comfortable bunkhouse, So book it up cheap as chips and we need more on our side to keep our southern brothers at bay !! All a happy Triumph / motorcycle bunch at heart and we still allow the odd short BMW rider in anyway !! Please be quick and join us for a reet good weekend of drinking, laughs and good old piss- taking and above all Fun !!!
If tez gets there in August we'll be long gone, unless he's planning a revival!! Or the rounds will be cheaper if he turns up on the wrong date. Look here for the "real" GMU
Oops I stand corrected (July), It was the vodka to blame, it made me write August GRAND MEET UP 2017 - KIELDER Friday 21st to Monday 24th of July 2017
Just a few words to say thanks to everyone who has made me feel welcome Stuck at work at the moment so got to be quick Will sit at the weekend & try to be a bit more sociable Cheers everyone
Hi & Welcome. America & Speedmaster - Great bikes for grown up (been & seen the sportsbikes, still tempted tho')
Welcome dilligaf. Two great choices there, bike and assylum. We're all mad for Triumphs round here, well nearly all with due respect to our B*W and Suzuk1 inmates who have there own little side ward.
Hiya TEZ 217 A sand dancer eh? Well guess what mate so am I!! Born and bred in sunny South Shields Left to join the RAF Did ten yrs then came back to the north east to marry wor lass. She's from Washington so that's where we ended up Seriously thinking about the meet at Bellingham Don't mind camping if I have to as I go to a few rallies and once the Jack Daniels kicks in i can sleep on a washing line! Do you ever go to the wetlands meet on a Sunday and Wednesday It's in Washington if you've not been I usually go for a little ride first if I go. Usually to Shields, coffee at Minchella,s then along the coast to Sunderland and onto the wetlands Thanks
Hi dilligaf, good to hear from ya, quite often at minchella's and along the coast never been to wetlands for at least 12 mths, great meet though been there many times. like you i love a few rallies but guessed the bunkhouse saved me carrying all the gear for once, so forced me- sell to pay a little more only there the two nights home on Sunday.
Hi mate Is it members only or are guests allowed Was supposed to be going to Scotland at the beginning of June with a mate for five days but he had to cancel So if it's ok would ask him if he fancies this instead Cheers
Guests wont be a problem as far as I'm concerned more the merrier, cant see anyone else objecting but I'm sure the feckers will be here soon to say if they do, lol Watch this space
Hi and welcome. Fellow Speedmaster rider here! I'm a little further south ......in Bishop Auckland. Gotta say, the wife and I both love the Speedmaster it's a 2005 model so there it's the carb. version. BTW What regular meets are there in our neck of the woods?
You know there's the wetlands that Dilligaf mentioned ? wed and sunday Washington wetlands car park,(washington wildfowl park} gets a canny crowd there,its only just kicked off again now we are in the season for biking, catering van on site kicks off about 5.30 ish until we all get bored or WET lol Google it Scoot also check out Brenda's cafe in Chester le Street guys gather there sometimes especially saturdays but other times to.
Hi mate Don't think he's ever had a BMW Who does? And why? It's a greet big Yamaha cruiser thingy with loud pipes I'll see if he fancies going with me cos I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be there Got to check at work first but shouldn't be a problem
