20th anniversary...Southern Softies ride up meeting points.
20th anniversary...Southern Softies ride up meeting points.
OK so here is what I've come up with...A multi point meeting run...Thought it best to make the meet points service stations so you can top up if ness.
Each meet point has an approx arrival but a firm leaving time...Distance & time between points is via google maps so whilst the miles is firm the timings acording to them are not necessarily correct due to the posted speed limits, traffic & road works ect.
A/ Brook Street services off J28 M25...Aiming to be there at 07.15 leaving at 07.40 sharp. Its then 25 miles to...
B/South Mimms Services off J23 M25...Aiming to be there from 08.00/0815 & leaving @ 08.40. it's then 64 miles to...
C/Watford Gap Services on the M1... Aiming to be there from 9.40/50 & leaving @ 10.15 sharp...
Which sould then get us the 30 miles to the National Motorcycle Museum @ 10.45 ish...
So as said all arival times are dependent on traffic, roadworks & unforeseen Traffic issues.
Don't forget your passports & translation books as we're going north of the Watford Gap...
Also bring lube as your gonna get butt feked by filling up at the M/Way service stations...

Re: 20th anniversary...Southern Softies ride up meeting points.
what time are you guys planning on getting to the museum?
as me and a few others are staying overnight in Leicester. I believe we're only going to be about 30 minutes away.
I was thinking of heading out about 10am.

Sounds a bit early for me- I like a nice lie-in and a greasy breakfast before setting off. So I'll head up Friday night and stay with some rellies.
I'll see you all there.
I'll ride back with you, Mac.
In preparation, I've smeared cat food over the fairing, and we'll see if the cats will lick it as clean as their food bowl.
It's worth a try.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!
Re: 20th anniversary...Southern Softies ride up meeting points.
are these meet up points still current ?. I thought I read somewhere that mac will be crocked for riding that day ?
I would probably be aiming for the Watford gap 09.40 option (via bury st eds then Cambridge). possibly accompanied by my mate on his Daytona 675 , he,s always wanted to go to the museum but never got round to it

Some say I've always been crocked ! My operation was cancelled so I'm not in a sling & therefore will be riding up rather than cadging a lift in a cage...lumpyv wrote:are these meet up points still current ?. I thought I read somewhere that mac will be crocked for riding that day ?
