Ducati Monster Forum

OK well the last one actually proved rather successful ... so we are doing it again. Same schedule as before and it offers quite a bit of flexibility.

Date: Saturday 22nd March 2014 (still before the end of daylight savings)
Meet: Pie in the Sky, Cowan 4:00pm for coffee and a chat (if you want)
Head off: 5:00pm -ish ... or whenever people want (they close the gates at 5:00pm)
Arrive: Old Road Cafe (aka Road Warriors) @ Mount White around 6:00pm for dinner

Because this is a low key, social event the times are not set in stone but provide a guide. If you choose to come along and leave early or arrive late, no problem ... if you want to break-off and do laps of the Old Road ... that is your prerogative. I don't want to be too formal, I want to be flexible enough for people to want to join in (in whatever capacity suits them).

This format worked well because it was not rushed, allowed us to ride (but not spend all day doing it) ... and as a group if people choose. You can leave or join whenever you want and most of us shouldn't have to worry about getting lost. Both establishments have undercover areas so that can help too even if some choose to chicken out and come by car.

For me the big thing is that we do something and get together talking shit ... which may include reminiscing about the good old days.

If anybody wants to make a day of it and schedule in a pre-4pm ride ... feel free. It is about inclusiveness ... lets get the community aspect of this place happenin' again.

Who's in?

me ;D

if the wife has nothing special planned for my Birthday weekend i'll be there

Excellent, I'll try and behave.

Hmmm ... interesting that you should mention Birthday weekend.

 
   Yes he dropped that in oh so CASUALLY, like he doesn't really want you to rename the ride 'Social Evening Paul M Birthday Ride'  and everyone bring presents, drinks and birthday cake with naked women jumping out, so we won't.

 

Ahhh ... but it was not his Birthday that I was interested in.

That's better  [wine]

+1  [thumbsup]

Oh and thanks Betty for make the effort.  [clap]

Just thought I would remind people ... this Saturday 22nd March 2014.

Although not essential, it would be nice to get a heads up if you're coming. Thanks.

Hey Mark
I'll be along for this one.

Gunna try and make it to Road Warriors after work in the cager........   [thumbsup]

   Yep.

Sorry have to work day +night [bang] I'll go the next one.  [roll]

Working as well. Sorry folks I take it where I can get it at the moment.

OK so a bit of a weather update ... for up this end:

This morning the fog rolled in - which is normally a good sign for the rest of the day. Now it is clear blue skies - no hint of rain. Even the forecast has improved.

We should be heading off in a couple of hours ... anybody not already 'registered', let us know if you want us to wait at PITS for you.

Thanks everybody that turned out tonight ... it was a really good evening. Not a spot of rain ... and our bikes made it home with a reasonable supply of electricity this time.

The Boss was very grateful for you coming along to celebrate her Birthday ... hope everybody enjoyed her Birthday cake.

The Monsters of those courageous enough to brave the perfect riding weather:
