Fireblade Day Round-Up

Well it was great to meet a lot of you and finally put faces to names. Was a good day overall except the old bill.

I was really pleased with the turn out and some cracking bikes on display, thanks to all who rode down from the East and lets hope we can get together more for some local rides.

For those I never met or said hi to I am sure there will be a next time

Thanks again for everyone who arranged it and lets hope the next one is as good. Nice BO fringe you illiterate git and whoevers the RWB blade was with the nice overrun

Russ

Was nice to meet you as well Russ.

You can say that again about the filth, that'll teach me to take the lead.

As deathace said was good to meet people, sorry to people I didnt introduce myself to, see you next time.

Am well up for a local thrash Russ & anyone else, maybe sort it out for a couple of weeks or so.

Cheers all

Well I just got in after a scenic ride back from Boxhill. Goin to work in 10 mins!!! What a fantastic day. Great to meet everyone and a prospective new member. Amanda joined us on the A40 and introduced herself and her 400 Blade at box! Videos to follow later this week!

totaly agree deathace! a local ride sounds like a possibility

just got in had a good day was good to meet every one hope every one got home safe

It was a good day out and nice to meet people from here, be nice to have another meet soon.

good to meet up with some of you guys had a great day .

I had a top day (thanks again to Masterblader for making it possible for me)

Actually fell asleep for ten minutes sprawled out on the grass at Box Hill

Was good to meet everyone; look forward to the next meet (hopefully next time with less concrete lol).

Very good day indeed, lots of nice blades etc and nice to meet the forum members.

Wot a great day it was to meet up with so many members.
A special thanks to Danidge who was the instigator of this meet and to Simon (FBF) for all the hours he spent in setting up this date.
Since this is the first major meet signs are that there will be a follow up with more support as this was only testing the water.
My apologies to guys I did not meet up with but managed to get some pics which will be posted up later . Cream crackered

I had an awesome day. Good food, great company and more Blades than you can shake a stick at. Definately my idea of a fun day out. Hope to get some of you guys down to a bike meet near me in a village called Finchingfield, the most beautiful little village I've seen. I'll also have to book the airfield if any of you guys wanna do some straight line action. If your interested let me know and I'll see if I can get a date.

I have uploaded the photos from today on facebook. I'll just put them on here also.

Cheers

Thanks for a great day out.

Sorry I didn't get a chance to speak to everyone but great to see the bikes all lined up.

Cheers

Thanks again to Daniage for meeting me at Thorrucks even if I was 25 mins late - sorry

Masterblader for the 10/10 hospility thank you and hi to everyone, such a friendly bunch but thats what I expect from fellow bikers.

Got home grandbaby's forgiven me for abandoning him this weekend - bless.

See you all soon I hope. There's a big bike meet at Squires Cafe up north (soddin M1 - sorry) in September a camping weekend pub, dancing and good company if your interested.

Fringe is Home! in only 3.5hrs ???
I had a brilliant day.
434miles round trip and well worth it. who was the furthest travelled?
Thanks for lettin me tag along to Boxhill, guys n gals.
Sorry to anyone I didnt say hi to, Especially you, Kiwiboy.
I'm gonna b sooooooo stiff in the morning. Not that Mrs Fringe will notice Lol
Deaflace, I wuz adjusting my clutch.
Hang on rules are there to be disobeyed. It's in the Streetfighters code.
Jane, If I'm free, I'll be there.

I can only say what everyone else has said already...
Good day and good company, great meeting old and new faces but next time we have a meeting lets do it outside London, hate riding in town (probably because i ride through it everyday?).

Like the idea of hiring an airport runway for a day

Im glad you all had a great day, sorry I could't make it as a good mate had some bad news from the hospital and need me... I hope you understand... I was looking forward to it.

Just thought i'd upload a quickie.... Here's just a handful of the motley crew, not quite sure what Masterblade is doing behind chimpy but whatever it was it certainly brought a smile to her face

Wot Chimpy suggested with such a deadpan facial expression is unprintable the reply however had the group in stitches. Linda you
are krazy krazy woman. lol

So knackered passed the sleep stage, so here's some pics

I enjoyed the day allthough it was cut slightly short for me. Great to see so many of you, apologies to anyone I missed out, for those I did I tried a wave or nod so see you next time.


The Finchingfield strip day sounds great if it can be arranged Jay??allready some good interest. There's also some great roads round there for the trip over.

Squires will be a good meet as Jane said for those who could make it and possibly also the Donnington revival in september for a FBR tail end meet?


FYI the Ace Cafe's managing director pulled me aside to say what a nice mature bunch we are , with some really special machines (sure he meant mine) They'd love to have us back. We would be made very welcome and he'd like to host it every year for us. He's even talking about giving us some organisational support to run some bike competitions for Best blade etc and will verify our cause to the likes of the big bike chains etc for sponsorship of prizes for the day.

Next year is a long way off but it soon comes round, maybe we'll use a different venue next year and save his offer ?

Time will tell.

Well done Fringe - you've set a benchmark today!



Thanks to everyone!

My day finished with the rear tyre valve popping when I turned in to my road. How lucky was I after a 80 odd mile journey home?

My word I have no idea what you mean!

I like the idea of an airfield hire and some great riding roads. I won't make any more sugestions as you're all sick of hearing it!!!

Class!

Should try and get the airfeild thing up and running asap, would be good to get some kinda radar set-up so we could all take a few runs and get a print-out of passing speeds, then this "which colour bike is fastest" will be well and truly resolved.
