Hello all, as Kitty has already suggested (Still don't get to see the Blade!) that she will be attending the Alton Cafe meet this eve (in a car). I, cordially invite all local inhabitants to join the merriment.

I shall be in attendance, amongst some others, whom then shall traverse the countryside to Ockham's Black Swan for continued two-wheeled enjoyment.

See you there peeps.

This week I be mostly wearing my new Ducati/Dainese retro outfit

Oooh a guest appearance from the elusive lizard?

Should think we will be around till 8ish - then over to Mucky D. Text me if you are heading over.

And Yes, Alton in Hants, think it is the 281 from Basingstoke - follow signs to Railway Station once you are in Alton.

Whereabouts is the Alton Cafe then?

Is it in Alton , or near the Little Thief on the A32/272 junction ?

Oh well, never mind, I did the circuit A31-A32-A272-A283 anyways, 90 miles , 2 hours, thanks for putting the idea in my head

That was excellent.

Bloody nightmare evening, sorry Ben, Iguana and Anna. The group that I inherited didnt know the way to Ockham so I had to lead, half way there they wanted to go to Boxhill so we changed plan, then got to Box and realised that four were missing. I swapped the Duke for a go on my mate's CBR600RR and then on the way to Ockham, he got lost on my Duke so I had to go all the way to Fleet to pick it up as he had gone home. Above all I was knackered last night.

That Cbr was nice after a few miles. Awkward at first but then got used to having to wring its neck to make it go anywhere. All I can say is FANTASTIC brakes!!!!

Cest bon a cracking evening, so whos bright idea was it to then go on to Ockham then... bit knackered when I got in tho, as id been out playing bikes since the afternoon & had racked up about 300 miles when I rolled home at midnight, bike covered in flys & pinging gently

Anna me nuts??? I'm honoured, but what about that bennyboy madman on the HMS Gravel rash gixxer... only time hes ever got his front wheel on the deck is when doing a stoppie
Its true the quiet ones are always the worst



Bazza S, next time round its at Alton station mate, easy to find in the town as its signposted.

I feel I should join in round about now. Last night was really good. Great to meet a few new faces.

Iggy, I've checked out the brunters Vmax vid on PH. Love the bit where the random bloke is standing in the way of the 360.

I can't wait to do more evening meets like that. I spoke to Nutcase when I got in and he's planning to get the bike back together asap so that we can do synchronised sillyness. Marvellous.

Right oh, now waypointed on the GPS

I was having such a lovely ride I didn't want to stop so I turned straight down the A32 instead of mooching round Alton like I should have.
