MAG has organised a bike meet/show at the Cricketers Arm in Eastleigh on Sunday 19th April. Its a great pub with good food and a large garden. very biker friendly. Its just off Junction 5 on the M27. Gweev

Sorry we missed you guys in Brighton on Sunday. We left Southampton around 11am and rode through Botley and Bishops Waltham, up to Loomies, then along the A272 past Petersfield and Midhust. Nice country roads. then we joined the A23 for the final stretch and hundreds of other bikers going down into Brighton. that's about 85 miles. From then on it took hours to filter all the way into town. Every single inch of parking space was occupied by bikes thoughout the town and the beachfront road was double parked on both sides for as far as the eye could see. There was more bikes there than I've ever seen. Anyway, we headed to Concorde, but by then it was packed, so we just walked up and down a bit, then hung around until about 4pm before heading back to Southampton via the A27. We'd be up for another meet if one's being organised. We often go to Portsdown Hill of a Sunday morning for a cup of tea and a bacon butty. Maybe we could organise a run from somewhere in Mid Sussex to Portsdown? G

Me too. Just thought I'd share the love! G

Anyone from here going? i'll be there with a few mates from Saturday afternoon onwards. Gweev

Go to Donington Park website and order tickets. In the Promotional Code field, Type "Bennetts" to get a discount on the weekend pass and weekend camping rates..... G

Me and four others will be camping over from Saturday.... Gweev

The annual Brighton Burn out is on Sun 14th Sept. We're thinking on riding over from Southampton. Anyone else from the Saaf thinking of going? Gweev

That's only 20 miles down the road from us, so if we're about Mrs G and I can make either day. Gweev 8)

Grrr! That's just down the road from me, but I've got to be in London that day to get our son an emergency passport renewal. I expect Jo and Ness will pop over in their lunch hour tho. Cheers Vic Gweev x

I badly want Haga to win it after years of trying. He came so close last year. If you've been to Brands, Assen or Donny, you'll know he has as many Brit fans as JT, and certainly way more than Bayliss. We love him coz he's a win-or-crash-trying type of guy just like Chris Walker. I'm going to Assen again this year and the crowd always goes crazy for him whenever he overtakes someone, even when JT was racing and there are always a lot of Brit fans at Assen. However, after just two rounds, I can't see anyone challenging Bayliss and Ducati this year for the title. No-one else is as consistent. Already Haga, Corser and Biaggi have had DNFs and will need Bayliss to not finish a few races if they hope to catch up. I hate to wish a crash on any rider, but its going to take something similar to last year's crash to slow Bayliss down for a few rounds. G

OK. I'll come along. DO you want to meet on the way, or there? What time? G

Possibly Kev, if it doesn't clash with Jo's college night. What's it about? A pub meet? G

T'was a dry sunny day up til about 3.30. Then it chucked it down! We did a lot of slow work to get Sam used to the bike first thing, then headed over to DG20, but we just missed you guys. We stuck around for a cuppa, then went over to Infinity to buy some of those 'love handles', which helped a lot. Then over to ADT Kawasaki to order a monorack for Jo's topbox and a pair of crash mushrooms. We then went for lunch at the Cowherds before going over to Eastleigh to visit a friend. We were just getting ready to head over to Portsdown Hill when the weather started to change and by the time we were passing home, it got cold, dark and wet so we went in. Again, it was a pity we didn't catch up with you, but it was a worth while day as Both Jo and Sam are much more confident riding together, so next time we'll be up for it.... Gweev

Trying out bikes today and seeing how Sam gets on - call either me or Jo when your ar DG20 as we are going out now for a ride to see how they get on. If good then we'll come over to you and see what your up to cheers

Mrs G and I, plus the kids will be there on the Sunday 25th. G
