Yep BMM is still on…likewise Poppins (see the thread) every other week…check on here and you will see we are all still meeting up…look in “rideouts and meets”…:D.
Although, youve picked a right time of the year to get your bike up and ready !! Was out last night, got the wrong bluddy gloves on…and to say i was frozen is a understatement…!! Was riding home from southend at 10:30pm…cor…couldnt wait to get a cuppa and ready for bed in me warm dressing gown, sitting on top of the heat waiting for me legs to warm up, and that was in me winter gear as well…to be fair the only part i felt cold on the bike was my hands…as explained…but you know when you get in and your legs feel cold?..well, thats how it was…bluddy cold !!!
Hi there, its still on! Although the numbers are down at bit from the warm and sunny times, usually about 10/15 people there.
Worth coming jus for the sausages and coffee thats available
I will do my very best to be there and meet some people…
I dont post much but do lurk in teh back ground
Whens the next local meet then guys?
It was tonight at Bourought Market. Keep an eye on the ride out and meets section.
It was cold tonight. I think we need somewhere INSIDE for the next few months. The local pubs (Wheatsheaf, Market Porter) do not have enough room.
A pub with good beer, good food, some space for us and a roaring open fire on a Wednesday night is required.
It was done last year and was as popular as a fart in a space suit !
My humble opinion, BMM is great and yep, it can be a bit cold outside but squeeze into one of the two pubs or the coffee shop right where the bikes park … if not then walk 30 yards and you have another load of pubs on Borough High Street.
I agree Jim. I don’t know why people had a problem with the Brazen Head last winter. The food was reasonable and we were welcomed. I know there were some local scrotes but that’s the case pretty much anywhere in central london and I don’t recall anybody’s bike getting messed with. The Herts meet sounds great, I must try and make the next one :)There’s no point all sitting between 3 different venues, that defeats the object of meeting up in the 1st place! Besides, the sausage place isn’t exactly warm and the pubs aren’t exactly welcoming. I do think BMM is a great venue but it’s too blimmin cold to stand around outdoors.
Neil (the sausage man) has welcomed us for the winter, the facilities (i.e.wifi, toilets, TV, shelter from the rain as well as food and drinks) are there for you to use and like you say there is the market porter that does meals as well. But generally a lot of people like to stay around their bikes to chat, have a ciggie, have a brew and generally be outside. Each to their own really.
Bein a lippy gob htat never shows up, my opinion doesn’t really count, but I’d agree with the ole Trojan Horse, Brazen Head wasn’t a popular situation. Can’t say I agree with all the reasons, but I was not a fan I have to say.
I’d say the Market Porter has plenty of room myself, but again I’m at college Wednesdays’ so my opinon means nuffin!
HOWEVER, if you own a scooter and need it serviced…just call me. I am the biker king, I can do anything…least as far as a scooter band is concerned.
LOVE THAT CLASS MAN! Topics so far this year. Master Brake Cylinders, Pistons and Cylinders, Carburettors, Braking, Fuel Injection, Scooter Servicing…in about 3 weeks time I’m gonna qualify as a bloke what knows a bit about bike mechanics at this rate. MEGA!
So does that mean we may see you on Rogue Traders? :w00t:
yeah, my man. as a newbie I was worried whether anybody would pitch up at BMM but Iv been there twice now n though its getting colder, ppl are still pitchin up. Its well worth it just for the bragging rights! lol see you nxt wednsday around 7ish.
