Von,
You can add this event to the Calendar.
People attending can add their names to the event, and also subscribe to event reminders.
Once it's in there, it'll appear on the 'Upcoming Event's on the front page too.
S1OPP
did i do it ?... think i have... it may attract more. we'll see :)
Yep, it's showing up on the main page in 'upcoming events' - top right.
Anybody clicking on that can click on 'I'm attending' and their name will be added to the list at the bottom.
have posted on MCN were I'm going to be "HERE".. and told them that the run will be posted here just hope they can read it and follow over here..
thanks for your help..
I saw your post on MCN. So hopefully they'll find you.
But I think the threads over there aren't being bumped back up when a new reply gets added, so it might vanish off the page before long.
Oh well, there's not a lot more you can do.
but the run was quite popular with the board members.. i know a few that will not be happy that it's disappeared into the abyss.. some of them was watching it and was going to post on it nearer the time so that they could attend... like you say not a lot i can do now.. on a good note most know when and were.... lets see what develops.

My, there seems to be a few familiar faces in here :)
Von, I'm glad you posted the Ace Run on here as I will be looking nearer to the time to make sure of the meeting times etc.
BTW What's the "Applied for DAS" all about?
parapanfan
03-03-2007, 17:21
It took me less that 2 minutes to sign up, add an avatar and start posting ........ why can't everything in life be so simple?
Welcome aboard.
Glad you find this place easy to use.
The 'Applied for DAS' comment will change as your post count increases. ;)

Oh I see - it's a bike related thing referring to the amount/frequency of posts?
Strange having bike related things on a bike site
hi von, good idea to move the posts to here, w.t.f have mcn done now, total shambles,:mad:
I'm so pleased that some of you have found this site.. is all i could do to keep us well informed about up and coming events..
big thanks to s1oop for the use of the site to help things go smoothly re runs and stuff..
also thanks to all for taking the time to come visit.. hope you all stay and have some fun :)
hi von, good idea to move the posts to here, w.t.f have mcn done now, total shambles,:mad:

just to reiterate after the debacle on MCN, Me & the dragon will be stopping overnight on the 7th April at the Holiday Inn just off the A419 to rest her back in case it needs it then moving to the Sainsburys car park on the A420 to meet up.
<watches little ones run and play>

what ever flotes ya boat hay!!
parapanfan
05-03-2007, 08:30
It's for Charidee - and an excuse for a ride out and get together.
Or do you just like to watch? :D
Stil trying to get some sense from gosh about, delivering the easter eggs,
1 dep't, has to talk to another dep't, who has to talk to another dep't etc, etc... and it goes on & on & on....:mad:
I'll try again today to see if i can get an answer,
PAN did you ever get an answer to your email you sent ?

My Mrs has been round a few of the larger shops in own town, Iceland came up trumps with 10 eggs, Woolworths refused, Tesco said come back later, Aldi ditto, Her work place made a donation so we've got some diabetic choccies gonna be loaded down with choccies ! hope it's not too hot on the day ! I have promised photos to those that donate.
always get loadsa photo's when out on a run... they'll be a abundance of um :)
I can set up an album in the rideout section of the gallery, if you want to upload your photos here.
yer will give you a shout... so you can set it up, when i/we return from the run :)
No problem, would be nice to have a few photos that didn't have C90s in them :)

It sure would, my camera now has an allergic reaction when it sees a C90!!
*must remember to get it desensitised for May though ;)*
vulcanrog
17-03-2007, 13:56
wossa a C90 ?
Von, I post on MCN still ref the run but today their page won't load so I gave up on it AGAIN ! I really despair for that site & hope that folk on there who are interested in the run don't lose interest because of MCN's piss poor site.
C90, only the best motorcycle in the whole world.
vulcanrog
17-03-2007, 14:40
I looked up 'C90' & it came up with the Honda C90 moped thingy & a Suzuki C90 a rather big cruiser ?

Mr Vulcanrog, have a nose here www.ndc90racing.co.uk
It's what we do.

vulcanrog
18-03-2007, 14:46
I did have an inkling but was unsure, I'd seen so many posts re C90 I started to wonder if there was another C90, Hence I looked up C90 & it came up with the Suzuki cruiser & the one & only Honda C90 of pizza delivery fame.
My mind is at rest, I don't have to 'wonder' anymore ! I can go to work tonight without my mind wandering off into 'wonderland' I can give the job my full attention --- Yeah right !!

I'll do a thread on there to let em know the in n outs.
I think I have persuaded Bexi to join us. Depends on her healing well enough. But she picks up her new bike at the start of April. So just in time.
:yes:

the run's been notified on themotorbikeforum, vicki one of the moderators has put it up on their run forum. AND GUESS WHAT ? I was looking at the members list & saw a guy calling himself 'mcndant' ! Who could that be ????
Is he there on a course ? Looking for clues on how to run a web forum ???

I actually feel quite sad re the MCN forum, I honestly think that with all the problems at emap it's gonna be shut down & when all the snags are sorted they'll restart it, Too fookin late tho the MCN regulars are spread over several sites, I could PM dant on themotorbikeforum & try getting him on the run, wot do you think mate ?
yer why not mate, i have no issues with Dant, was just a bit pissed off with MCN site.. see they just introduce a new site set up ..(that clearly dose not work) for the posters / us,.... and then try for weeks to get it going... may-be they just wonted shut of some of the older posters to make room for the new and up and coming ones who knows ? ..yer give him a shout see if he won'ts in on this motorscooter event :)
vulcanrog
20-03-2007, 23:26
I've wondered the same, Piss off the oldies, Close it down for a bit, Restart it afresh ? It's such a mess it's not secure even but with the state of emap maybe it's curtains anyway ? Either way IF it gets sorted they've lost a lot of support.
to be honest... I've not entered the site for a few weeks now.. not to sure if i will..:no:
vulcanrog
20-03-2007, 23:41
it's so fucked up, General & pub talk are coming up all mixed together, Posts dissappear, Threads dissappear/reappear/ dissappear I had a post edited by a moderator & it wasn't any different than when I posted it a real mess.
the ACE run was conceived last year between me and Ken, when we was out on a run in north wales.. "my hours shoe pass run", so I've never expected MCN to get involved.. see it's about what we do not them.. was brill that paulzxr said we should make it a egg run to what a fantastic idea.. the way i see it MCN have dropped the ball so to speak.. we are the punters and they should listen to what we won't.... not what they say we can have.. bugger it.
vulc the run is on..... and to hell with um :)
< rolls fag.. sips coffee.. and collapses > :)
just spoke to gosh, about the egg run, they would like to know approximate numbers of bikes turning up and at what time, they will then try to arrange parking for the bikes and wether the kids will come to us, or we meet them in the foyer or somewhere,Hopefully youve all tapped your local shops for free eggs to take down with you, I know vulcanrog has, only a few weeks away now chaps,& chapesses, really looking forward to this ride out, As for mcn, it would have been nice if they would have been more interested with the ride out, but hey ho, there loss, :rolleyes:

Awful lot of MCN peeps have washed up on the BiKE forum, If you like I could post a link to here on there, if you see what I mean.
vulcanrog
21-03-2007, 17:25
Tescos came up trumps today with a £10 voucher, Mrs will get as much as she can with 'buy one get one free' To date we've about £80 worth of a mixture of diabetic & milk chocolate eggs, I'm about at the limit of what we can carry in our luggage !
Damn bike went went tits up today the cooling fan's stopped working hopefully it's a simple thing, The sensor was replaced last August maybe it's that again, It's booked in for next Monday for another new sensor & a thermostat, Really don't wanna do the run in a cage !! At a push I'd rent a H - H -- HAR --- HARL ---- HARLEY !
re..approximate numbers of bikes turning up and at what time, they will then try to arrange parking for the bikes..... now that's a question!!! at a guess would be 20 ish bikes.. but with two weeks to go.... it may well increase ?
norfolk.. that sounds a plan
vulc... when you've finished... you may need a van.. :)

When this was listed on MCN, before the holocaust, I thought that together we got around 30 peeps - mostly riders but some pillions and Mrs Vulcs in her car?
We've picked up a few others since then, prolly lost a couple too, but I reckon it's nearer to 30 than 20.
You'll have to do a sweep of the forums and have another head count.

AND more to come this is how much we've collected SO FAR !!
& if someone a lot brighter with pooters than me could move this post to the correct thread I'd be eternally gratefull !!
vulcanrog
22-03-2007, 16:49
it's Mrs paulzxr in her car, Mines taking up room on the back of me bike !
Lucky she'll be driving an estate car, I havent had much luck (yet)getting freebies out of the local businesses, but i thought about getting in touch with the local rag, Only 2WEEKS to go, got to ring gosh on monday to try to sort out whats happening when we get there, I start my new job on tuesday so time will be abit of a problem, Really looking forward to this now, just hope i'll be fit enough to enjoy the ride,
vulcanrog
25-03-2007, 19:26
My mrs is in touch with our local rag re a photo before the run, Bikes going in tommorrow I'm a bit twitchy in case it's the actual fan that's tits up, Time may be tight if they need to get a new one in. Tescos also would like a photo.
Re fitness ? We're doing it in 2 stages with the overnight stop at the Holiday Inn mainly in case the dragons back plays up, I've been beasting myself in the gym the past month, We're a dodgy trio really ! A bike with a suspect cooling fan, An old git with a belly, & a Mrs with a dodgy back ! LOL !

I had a trial run to Watford Gap yesterday just to check the timings - I reckon 2hrs, which is a whole hour less than Google maps' estimate :)
So, I have to ask since it's lost somewhere in the threads spread over 3 sites ......:confused:
Who will be a Gatford Wap and at what time?

bikes sorted & ok for the 8th, Thermostat had jammed shut the fan stayed on too long & blew the fuse, That's what the kawasaki folk seem to think.
Mrs has about another tenner to spend on eggs etc, What we can't carry we'll box up & post to GOSH. May well get it all in with enough room for one change of underwear each !
all is well here to... i think around 8 or 9 of us will be departing this end..
just had reply back from 'harriet', :yes: all systems go!, we'll have to drop off the eggs at the main reception between 2-3,The security were worried about us blocking the road with bikes, BUT i've hand on heart promised them that we wont, because ambulances will be flying up and down !! Said that i'd ring her next week to make sure the plans are still ok,
reet then...so we'll go to the GOSH first, then onto the ace.. cool :cool:

is full, LH saddlebag is nearly full, Top roll bag is full, Cant put much in the RH saddlebag it's too close to the exhaust ! We'll put our spare clothes/wet suits in the bottom & may squeeze a few mini eggs on top !
Getting excited now LOL !
Aww ain't it great, so is anyone from around here going so i can donate some eggs?
That would be Halesowen west midlands btw

the main group are coming down from 'oop T north' & meeting some of us southeners at Cherwell Valley sevice area on th M40 at 1100 on Sunday 8th April (easter Sunday) Why don't you meet us there ?

Well if she gets in touch i will sort a few eggs out..if she can pick em up, or i can meet her somewhere, our Birmingham children's isn't on again :no:

Von
As we get closer to the day we need to finalise some kind of itinerary.
I'll meet you at Watford Gap at 10:00 but what then?
I'll be easy to spot 'cos the Pan is BIG and RED but how are we all going to recognise each other?
If the plan is to meet up at the Ace before going to GOSH - we need to have some kind of identification.
I suggest an A4 sheet with "Von's Egg Run" printed on it ( wordArt is prolly best as it can be made really big )
Yesterday the marshalls had this type of ID on their bikes and it stood up quite well. There's no need to attach it to the bikes too early but we could wave them about like chauffeurs at the airport. :)
It would also help the GOSH security recognise who's involved for parking purposes.
i see your point... but trust me... we all will be easy to spot at "watford gap".. see Kwak is one tall feller and would be very hard to miss..;)
no worries para... if you is there by 10.00 I'll find ya.. Ho!! Kwak will be the one hogging the petrol pumps...;)
re.. GOSH.. think that will be first port of call unload EGG's then on to the ACE.. so I'm lead to beleve.. if that is the case.. we sould be there by 13.30 / 14.00.. as we will be a large body of bikers.. think we will be easy to spot by the staff of the GOSH.. or we could have a contact number to phone to let them know we are on our way in.. :)

Rendezvous
I still think we should meet before going to GOSH so we can all ride there together.
It ain't far from the Ace and it'll give peeps a chance for a brew and a piddle if necessary.
have to agree with you there, also the vintage bike club have put a mention on there forums as well, we have a time window to be at the hospital between 2-3, ive got to ring them when we are near, so stopping at hte ace gets my vote !!!!
ok just had a word with Kwak.... what about we....
go to the ACE .. regroup, go to GOSH.. then back to the ACE... :)
parapanfan
03-04-2007, 04:21
That sounds like a good idea.
If it's British Bike day at the Ace it's likely to be busy anyway.
We could place our order and it might be ready when we get back :spin:

is full with eggs/choccy & JUST about enough room for a pr of socks & a pr of shreddies ! In fact my fresh underwear for the Sunday wil be in my tank bag, The RH saddlebag will have er indoors's kit in it plus wash n shower kit for the o/night stop & maybe a few more eggs at the top away from the exhaust.
Hi Paul
This is great! I have spread the word to the wards and the children
are really looking forward to coming down to meet you all - turns out
we've got some keen motorbike fans on the wards to they really enjoy
meeting you. And of course there is a lot of enthusiasm for the eggs!
I'm just sorry that I won't be around to greet you on the day but if
you turn up at the main hospital reception the security staff will be
expecting you and I will try to coordinate for them to alert the wards
that you have arrived. If you are able to call me this afternoon for a
quick chat that would be great otherwise I hope it goes really well and
look forward to hearing about it next week.
Many thanks.
Best wishes,
Harriet
( hope someone will be there to take professional quality photos):)

& shiny, Just gotta check the oil in the morning fill it up & move from Cornwall about noon to Swindon. Had a 'moment' while cleaning it outside my garage, I wash it cold then run the motor to help dry the radiator out.
3 lads came up the lane one said "allright mate" & I was instantly on guard.
They went about 50 yds & turned round, The motor was running & I was crouched down drying off bits, The same lad stood staring at me while the other 2 tried getting behind me, It was either to get into my garage or even maybe snatch the bike so I switched it off pocketed the keys & stared right at the first lad, they bottled it ! A 2lb ball pein hammer talks the business !
The punto's now blocking the bike in the garage for tonight & I'm 'on guard' with billy baton. TWATS !
You wanna post a final cut of the schedule just so everyone is clear on the meet up times and places?

06-04-2007, 16:47
c'mon you fence sitters ! specially in the area near GOSH & the Ace there must be loads who know this is on get yer arses in gear for Sunday support von, we're coming from Cornwall ffs ! Some from Wales The majority are coming from oop T north, It's a good cause AND a good day out.
You wanna post a final cut of the schedule just so everyone is clear on the meet up times and places?
spire.. we are indeed going to meet at JK24 M1 south slip I'll be there around 09.00 am... I'll give you a call when I'm gunner fill up at Asda ..well when i leave home..to fill up that is.. the only change so far is that the west-mids grope... are now going to meet us at cherwell Vally services at 11.00 so I'm led to believe.... so we'll just meet up with kwak & BBM etc at watford gap at 10.00... looking forward to seeing you again spire... :)
After deciding i needed a new rear tyre for the run out, took the wheel off, and this morning took it to my local tyre place,:) dropped it off and went to do shopping etc, BUT, when i got back to collect my wheel the F*****G place was CLOSED !,:mad: tried phoning but all i got was an answerphone message saying that there'll be reopening on tuesday, :mad: I'll still be attending the run but ashamed to say in the car, so i'll still be meeting rog at saisburys swindon, if i can keep up with him & ken i'll see you all at the next meeting point.

I know that now, but didnt want to risk it, never mind at least i'll still be going, i was thinking of putting my leathers & helmet ala' stig, then driving the car, but i'm not that sad :D , bike was all ready to go as well, even put a little message on my screen :no:

what they said was... over the 3 mile stretch they said my speed was minimum 98 MPH and maximum 101 MPH and that is what they are logging it at on their sheet.. then i was handed this sheet and asked to sign it..

Expect the worst Von if it's going CPS, speedings badder than battering a granny with half a house brick, then going on a killing spree.

Undewr the Law bit.
Really sorry to here you got pulled. What do ya mean you didnt try to out run them hehehe.
Hope they dont try to do you for more than a ton. You got legal aid on your insurance? Make sure the court know you need your licence for your job. Think your employer had to make a statement to that effect.
GREAT day out, just got home after 20 hours, hope everyone got home safely, be posting pics later in the day when i'm awake,
p.s WELL DONE to everyone, bummer about getting pulled over von

Sorry to hear you got pulled - but on a purely selfish note - I'm glad they followed you and not me :radar:
A bit of a bummer to finish off what was a brilliant day out - just on 430 miles in total.
If my back allows I might be tempted out again today.
Nice to meet everyone :D
thanks guys & galls.. truly a supper day... well worth the effort made by all..
my Mrs is pleased with the pendent that i got her from the ace cafe..
but she still looks at me..and calls me a twat!!
think I'm grounded for a bit...
any Ho.. thanks for the advice re the pull... I'll go see the MD at work tomorrow... he'll prolly piss his self... cause userly i hear laughter coming from the office when I'm summoned for something I've supposed to have done..

von bummer hearing you got pulled mate, Fingers crossed for you AND fingers crossed none of us triggered scameras en route !
Big thanks von for organising the run & to paulzxr for his bit with GOSH
um -- Is the garage open tommorrow Paul ? We've just got home totally knackered after stopping in Basinstoke overnight & for a change drinking the stepsons ale & wine ! Will post pics asap after the ringing noise in my head stops ! 600 plus miles in 2 days aint bad for an old git & a welsh woman with a dodgy back I spose ! We froze on th A303 near Salisbury but Cornwall was a pleasure to get back to, Wall to wall sunshine again - Won't last tho !
Paul I'll pm my email addy later cos MCN's site won't let me make my profile visible now, It was truly a brill day & nice to put faces to names --- Did anyone from MCN turn up ? SILLY ME ! Course they didn't.
ive posted a few pics, more to come, vulc' youve got mail
paulzxr.... more you say... cool.. :)
Some cracking photo's there.
Looks like you did a good job there.
Well done folks
Why isn't it on any more Mandy?
I saw in the paper a bunch of scooterists did Heartlands this year.
Well, I got the video up. But I downloaded a dodgy copy of a video editing program, and it didn't work. So I'v had to use basic stuff that won't let me do anything...
