Is a Tiger Meet USA 201x7 worth doing?

[mat-tiger1]

Since starting this the management has started making plans to visit our friends in Australia next year.  I can't fund both so this will have to be held over fro another time.   

Happy that you're planning a trip to Oz Bixxer!  (don't forget the ride report!)

Gutted that you won't be able to make a USA trip with yer old mukkas.

Just checking, how many are we now guys? Do we still have enough interested to make a trip viable?

And there we were under the impression that you'd already got permission.

Well, going by what's been posted so far the cost doesn't seem to alter with the numbers. And I'd prefer a select few rather than a dozen. Fewer people to please that way.

Good point H.  Permission wasn't the issue, but our friends in Oz are a lot older than us so she wants to go while they still draw breath.  Won't be a ride report as we'll be spending most of our time aboard this old lady:

It'll be more like excerpts from the 'Captain's log' then eh Bixxer?

No one wants to see a Captains log.

It was indeed myself that spoke to Roddy, there needs to be 6 bikes to fill a container that's a 20 footer. But I have just been not so gently reminded that it's the Mrs 50th next year and she took me to Japan for mine. Apparently I had completely forgotten which I actually had not just going to both trips 

So I am happy to postpone the trip for a year or if people want to go still I am more than happy to help out in the organisation of things

cheers Spud

Certainly for me 2017 could be better as my first year of retirement (2016)could be a little too busy trying to fit everything in. BUT having said that I'm still willing to go in 2016 if there's enough interest.

Northumberland or Ireland then?

Northumberland or Ireland then?

Ha ha ha! Yeah.
In the original survey there were two that were interested in France/Spain. And one interested in east Europe. Can anyone tell who they were?
If my Spanish property search in April comes to fruition I could have a place to stay for beer money.

If we don't do the USA then i'd vote for Ireland in the 1st instance, at least we'd have a bit of an overseas adventure!  (No offence Geoff!)

However, i'm liking BT's thought process!  Some Spanish Trails with Paella & Cerveza afterwards?   

Wait! Here's a thought BT why not open a Spanish trail-riding centre that serves real ales?? 

I'd definitely put my name down for that!! 

[Nick Calne]

Just about to move house, so perhaps Northumberland, Ireland or Spain next year is more realistic for me.

I still think a meet up this year to plan out a few things re USA and whatever else would be cool.

[nickjtc]

Maybe you guys should lay this thread to rest and start a new one................ "What DO we want to do for our ride in 2016??" 

[Nick Calne]

No Nick the correct title should be 'what can we afford / what will our wives tolerate'.

What we would, almost to man, WANT to do would be a mega round the world trip.
