First things first, lets get some idea's of the best date for the meet.
So people don't have to read all the posts here's the info you'll need if you want to come.
Date = Friday 20th - Sunday 22nd July
Camping = <!-- m -->http://www.masonscampsite.co.uk/ (http://www.masonscampsite.co.uk/)<!-- m -->
£10 p/n + £2.50 booking fee. Min 2 nights. Deposit £20. This price is not on the web-site so ring and tell them your from TigerTriple.com
Local Pub = <!-- m -->http://www.craven-cruckbarn.co.uk/ (http://www.craven-cruckbarn.co.uk/)<!-- m -->
Please tell me if you want a meal. Don't forget to double you meal ammount if you are bringing someone with you.
aesdj = 2 meals
aesdj = 4 meals
aesdj = 2 meals (Saturday only) and so on.
Saturday ride out = 10am start -5/6 pm finish.
This may change after I've ridden the route I've got planned (roughtly 120 - 150 miles). I've got a ford for us to ride through (puddle <!-- s:lol: -->:lol:<!-- s:lol: --> ) but I'm trying to find a better one.
Just posted in the other thread asking people to now use this thread for anything to do with the meet,cheers.
I'm guessing that's June:?:
I hope so.
100% have voted for June 2nd :hello2 :thumbsup
I voted 2nd. In truth, any is good currently. If we do 2/3 then there is the 4th, a bank hol, to get yourself home. :wink:
Sorry guys that I didn't put a month down but the previous meets have been in July so I tuck it that the meets are always going to be in July. If people would prefer a different month then just say and we'll go with the majority, also the dates are a Saturday.
Danger: Choas at work. :wink:
So we acidentally have a 100% vote for the wrong day ?
Bear in mind guys, the whole world (well, Tiger world anyway) is watching.... :ImaPoser
Any date in July is ok for me, so i`m not voting
Can`t a mod edit the poll to read July?
Does it show that I don't post very often :oops:
June is the only time I'm back :cry:
C'mon guys, we gotta get Sin to this one...
:wink: sorted
now with July added
all dates are Saturday's
Thanks guys :lol:
I'll spring for the beer 8) how about that for incentive / bribery?
Wife informs me that 2 Jun is the start of the 4 days of celbration for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee so it might be hard to fix anything that weekend. :?

Its also MOTOGP at Catalunya, as we are going.
I could make late June at a push.
Plus you`ll get all the bank holiday traffic, roads will be more busy/full of nobheads :lol:
Well done for getting this going guys.
I would have preferred it if people had the choice to vote for more than one date. Then you can choose the date with the most votes.
Having said that, the only date out of those that I can do is July 21st.
Cheers, H.
P.S. Jason, Will, don't forget to recce some nice wet fords. Just for uncle John from Nofuck.
Mustang, could you make this thread a sticky please like we had last year?
I'm flexible for dates. I'll bring my trainer wheels this time for off road stuff!!

Actually I'm not too bothered about an actual off road route. I might well be on my Girly. Just a couple of fords will do. This site will help http://www.wetroads.co.uk/ (http://www.wetroads.co.uk/)

Hey Blacktiger, have you put the word out on the 800 forum? The more the merrier i say :D
I'll do it right now. :) we'll see if they have their reading glasses on this time. Looks like they've decided to allow all types of Tiger into their event.

Though you may come to wish he hadn't
Spotted a couple of names I know on here from other forums, yes, it's THAT Dilbert :lol:
Quote from: "Dilbert"Though you may come to wish he hadn't
Why's that? A Tiger rider is a Tiger rider is a Tiger rider. We're not fussy.

Speak for yourself :!:
They must at least be prepared to have a good time with an A1 bunch of like-minded people & possibly partake in a beverage or two after a great day's riding / falling off in the mud :oops: & ridng through various planned ankle wash stations / fords :!: :D

Ahhh, yes I see you ride the roads of Staffordshire too :D
So what's happening then :?:
Well Dilbert at the 2011 meet BlackTiger kindly volunteered me to arrange this years meet (cheers mate). As I'm from Yorkshire this is were the meet is being held. This is one idea for the camping http://www.masonscampsite.co.uk/Welcome_.html (http://www.masonscampsite.co.uk/Welcome_.html) and this is the local pub http://www.craven-cruckbarn.co.uk/pub.htm (http://www.craven-cruckbarn.co.uk/pub.htm) . If you use this link you can see the site and how far the pub is from it. Don't worry everyone, its not as far as the 2010 pub :lol: . This is early in the planning and this is what I've found so far but once the bikes on the road (1 April) I'll drive out and have a proper look and time the walk to the pub. These may all change as I've said this is what I've come up with so far.At the minute we our just deciding the date.

Looks good. Particularly like the pub. "Society for the preservation of beer from the wood" & 8 beers to try. NICE!
It's 0.4 miles from the bottom of the campsite to the pub. I think we can manage that.

Well if BlackTiger's giving it the thumb's up and he's a real ale man then it should do for all the drinkers of the group. I'll ring the camp site tommorow to check that they'll take 15+ biker's and e-mail the pub about meals etc.
I fancy a bit of this bash :D but cant vote on a date as our crew is in Scotland May / June and no dates have been confirmed.
I'm not opening my gob this time, I'll wait for the dates from everyone else, if it fits I'll come, but like Pete I'm in France from mid June til early July and no dates confirmed yet.
I've been in touch with both the pub and camp site and the pub is fine about the numbers but it would help if they know before hand how many per night would like a meal.The campsite also said its fine but with it being in high season its a minimum of 2 nights.For one person in a tent it is £10 p/n and for 2 in a tent its £17 p/n.This includes all the facilities which to be honest I think we'll only need the showers.They will need £20 depoist per booking which can be done on line or over the phone.If people can say if this is ok or not then we'll go with majority.
Sounds good to me.
Have to wait for date to be confirmed first for me.
I just started a thread on the RAT site http://www.triumphrat.net/tiger-chat/19 ... ost2125156 (http://www.triumphrat.net/tiger-chat/196561-uk-tiger-meeting-2012-a.html#post2125156) to get more interest.
How far are we from picking a date? I haven't voted because I don't have any strong reason for doing so. :roll:

Same here guys. Not voted, as all dates are good for me :D
When will the voting close so we can 'red circle' the calender :?:
I was going to give it to mid/late Feb or do people need it ending sooner as to book the dates at work etc. Must say that I hope we do July as I'm booked to do this http://rblr1000.co.uk/ (http://rblr1000.co.uk/) and I may need to do some serious arse kissing to do both in one month.

Well you'll have to persuade those that haven't voted yet to vote for July. Late July is the only date I can do. June 2nd I'll be in Canada.
Weekend of 7/8 July is festival of 1000 bikes at Mallory
Looks a nice pub and location. Let's hope it is a winner.
Looks good Real ale, Tigers, Camping will try and be there.
steve
I was hoping to be able to close the poll and have a date to work to but as it is there's two dates with the same ammount of votes. June 2nd which is a bank holiday so the traffic could be a pain and July 21st. My plan from the start was to have it in July as the last two meets have been July. From now on and to make it easier for everyone maybe we need to make it the same month every year.How about we start a thread with a poll to decide which month from now on the meet will be held.I don't know how to resolve the clash of dates so any suggestions would help.For me the 21st July would be the date to use.
looks like the July date has just edged in front.. :)
Well aesdj, worry no longer! i've decided to vote for the 21st of july not only because it suits me better, but also because we need to firm a date up! I for one will need feeding on the Friday & the Saturday night, so count me in for food! (& beer!) Hope we can bolt something down soon, can't wait! :D
Cheers mat you've sorted it for me. Right everyone it's been decided we are meeting up on the weekend of Friday 20th - Sunday 22nd July. I've got a route sorted for the Saturday althought I've got to ride it and make sure it's not to long. I've not looked into fitting in a ford as yet and looking at the map of were we our I may struggle but I'll check out the web site blacktiger posted.
I think you're right, time to make a call.
Could I suggest my independence seeking brethren, Pandas and Anyone else inclined for a meet/run on the June weekend North of the Border where the traffic is liable to be lighter.
Friday 20th - Sunday 22nd July is good for me and annual leave booked (hopefully granted), will of course require filling up with food on Fri and Sat. Thanks for your work in organising, all we have to do now is book the warm blue sky weather. :D

When do you figure on riding up? I'm off Friday, Sat & Sunday so can go any time Friday.
I can make up an interesting route for an all day Friday if you're interested.

This sounds like a plan,
Just need to get A/L granted as a week before Olympics so probably wont know for sure till nearer the date.
If all good then yes would like to ride up Friday pref AM for an all day.
Now the dates are decided, is anyone from the south or the midlands planning to travel up on the Friday :?: We could perhaps get a bit of a Tiger convoy going :!: :!: :D

I'll get to it and come up with a plan and route from the southeast then. Matt, if I get us to Stafford can you do a route to the campsite? I think you're going to have some favourite roads north of you through the peaks. PM me with your exact location so we can have a coffee when we get to you. ;-)
OK I have put the 21st of July in my diary to keep free. It is an easy travel for me, but I will still camp on the Friday and Saturday, as I assume that is what everyone else will be doing.
Thanks for the hard work sorting this.

Blacktiger, PM'd :D
No problems, Tea (or coffee) & buscuits and press onwards & upwards :!:
I'll sort a route out as suggested (No M-ways) & show you some of the Staffordshire countryside. 8)
Dilbert, if you've got your ears on & attending, PM me & we could perhaps collect you en route :shock: :?:
I might meet y'all there after towing the Tiger up on her trailer behind me motorhome :ImaPoser
Quote from: "Bixxer Bob"I might meet y'all there after towing the Tiger up on her trailer behind me motorhome :ImaPoser

Just waiting on permission from `er indoors :roll:
Quote from: "mat-tiger1"I'll sort a route out as suggested (No M-ways) & show you some of the Staffordshire countryside. 8)
That's the ticket.
So my route to mat-tiger1 comes off the M25 near Slough and runs close to High Wickham, Thame, Bicester, Banbury & Leamington Spa before running between Coventry and Birmingham. Anyone want to join the convoy?
Too far out of the way for me. I'll probably head up to Sleaford, Lincoln, Humber bridge and coast road. Better have a look at the link and see where I'm actually going first :oops:

I quite like the look of their Tepees already set up on site... hmmm :D
I'll just tell 'work' that I really am off that weekend then I guess I'd better book?
doesnt look like theres much of a scenic route from me, probably like you BB up over Humber Bridge then york and harrogate... unless its a really nice day and I get up early and go via scarborough :D
oops, had a prob with the server dropping out while I was posting and ended up with three posts. Mustang'll fix it I guess.
Quote from: NeilDI quite like the look of their Tepees already set up on site... hmmm :D
I wonder if there'll be enough of us to fill the 'Cruck barn' :?:
maybe we could book up :?: (Not for a wedding though!) :shock:

Coast road? You better check the campsite location again! :lol:
Anyhow, i`ve got permission from Mrs RF, just got to check at work.
And which part of the site we booking, looking at the website, there`s 3 to choose from?
I`m drawn to hiring one of the Teepees, saves bringing a load of stuff 8)
And anyone bringing their wives/girlfriends/partners?
according to the price list we get a free dog? wonder if I could request a cat instead.. :D
yes BB's 'coastal route' confused me, unless of course he is going via Scarborough.. :shock:
Quote from: "mat-tiger1"Quote from: "blacktiger"Dilbert, if you've got your ears on & attending, PM me & we could perhaps collect you en route :shock: :?:
Not sure yet, timing's currently Ok, but I don't do camping, so I'd need to sort a B&B, or just come up for the day, depends what the plan is :?:
Just popped a shout-out for this meet on the ABR forum. :D

The more the merrier eh :?: :occasion14
Is our friend Bonanza onboard with this? Haven't seen a post from him.
Errrrrr, ..... I was joking about the motorhome, but the site's only a few minutes from friends of Mrs BB so she's coming too and she doesn't do tents so I'm booked on a premium field plot with leccy for her hairdryer :oops:
I've posted a route from the south east on Tigerrides site where it can be downloaded.... http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/uk_ ... es/Routes/ (http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/uk_tiger_rides/files/Routes/)
Runs from basically the M25 across to mat-tiger1 in Cannock and up to the campsite from there. If anyone wants to join the convoy you can see where we're going. Just tell us where you'll join in.

Sorry to say that I wont be there this time. :( I,m off on family hols on 14 July (family in Bulgaria) and the only other w/end I have off work in June/July is taken up going to Ireland for the Mid Antrim 150 road races :D .
Looks like a good choice of venue (well done Jason) with some great roads and scenery. Be sure to visit Buttertubs and Ribblehead.
Hope you all enjoy yourselves and have a pint for me.
Quote from: "BONANZA"Hope you all enjoy yourselves and have a pint for me.

Shame you can't come but that's the way things work sometimes. Enjoy your trips.
Quote from: "BONANZA"with some great roads and scenery. Be sure to visit Buttertubs and Ribblehead.
Thats the way I was planning to go, two great minds and all that :lol: .Sorry you carn't make it.
Excellent choice of campsite and pub, I stayed there a couple of years ago when the couple who run the site had just got married, the pub food and beer is fantastic as is the barn and the location is great, isolated but everything you need is just a short walk away ( the pub ), only thing you need to worry about is the midges if you sit outside in the evening, take a hat.
:cry: time to retire I think. Really annoyed that I'm going to miss it again, please fix next years dates soon so I can book leave and flights earlier for next year.
So, has anyone actually booked anything yet?
Quote from: "rf9rider"So, has anyone actually booked anything yet?
Not me.
Jason, do we need to book anything? Or can you go in and tell them what's going on? Or????????????

Prefer this price to the book online price :!: :shock:
Can we organize this as a group booking aesdj :?: :?
I paid £54 for two people for 2 nights in my motorhome inc electric .... works out at £13.50 a head :D

I've been onto the web site and the price does seem to be different (£12 p/n + £2.50 booking fee) from what she told me (£10 p/n all in). I've rung her tonight but there closed so I've left a message for her to contact me. Blacktiger, last time I spoke to them (January) she said there was no rush as it was so early but I think the sooner we book the better. I do intended poping in once the bike's back on the road (1st April) just to show that we won't rape and pilage the place :lol: . As they want a deposit (2 nights min) off of everyone it makes sense for everyone to book there own place so Mat I don't think we'll beable to do a group booking. I'll tell her that people will use our web site name when booking so she can keep track of numbers and plan things. I'll posted what she's said as soon as.

Blacktiger, last time I spoke to them (January) she said there was no rush as it was so early but I think the sooner we book the better. I do intended poping in once the bike's back on the road (1st April) just to show that we won't rape and pilage the place :lol: . As they want a deposit (2 nights min) off of everyone it makes sense for everyone to book there own place so Mat I don't think we'll beable to do a group booking. I'll tell her that people will use our web site name when booking so she can keep track of numbers and plan things. I'll posted what she's said as soon as.
:iagree Sounds like a plan :!:
Just let us know how they want to play it and then we can get things sorted :icon_salut
Quote from: "mat-tiger1"Quote from: "aesdj"Quote from: "mat-tiger1"Quote from: "aesdj"I've been in touch with both the pub and camp site and the pub is fine about the numbers but it would help if they know before hand how many per night would like a meal.The campsite also said its fine but with it being in high season its a minimum of 2 nights.For one person in a tent it is £10 p/n and for 2 in a tent its £17 p/n.This includes all the facilities which to be honest I think we'll only need the showers.They will need £20 depoist per booking which can be done on line or over the phone.If people can say if this is ok or not then we'll go with majority.
Prefer this price to the book online price :!: :shock:
Can we organize this as a group booking aesdj :?: :?

Guys before we get carry'd away with the list and I know it's a pain but if we could put the number of meals you want after your name that would be great. This way it saves us having to do another one later for the meals.
The camp sites closed until 30th March so I don't expect a quick reply but as soon as she does I'll let everyone know.

Right lads I've spoken to the camp site and she apologises because it's a new web-site and the single occupancy cost is missing which she's going to put right asap. The price is £10 p/n and £17 p/n for two sharing plus £2.50 booking fee as I said in an earlier post although the booking fees new to me but it's only £2.50 so I'm sure we can all run to the extra cost :lol: . Just a quick reminder that it's a minimum of 2 nights due to it being high season.
I've told her that anyone booking will tell her our web-site name (TigerTriple.com) so DON'T FORGET TO TELL HER,cheers.

RF, I can't see where one books a teepee... A teepee sounds fun and quite practical as it saves hauling camping gear 300 miles or so. Is it obvious? Am I being a spaz again? How d'you do that? :oops: :roll:
durrrr.... found it. It was obvious. Apologies all.
:oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:
Am I being thick here? When I try to book I'm getting £40 for two nights. The online booking menu doesn't let me choose "Tent" alone. Are you guys phoning?

Think we need to have someone visit or phone and bok us in for the weekend, possibly same with the pub.
Any local volunteers to go to a pub, (for research purposes of course)!!
Just to keep the tradition going there's a small ford quite near the campsite at
N53 59.458 W1 52.729 on a minor road at Pickles Beck. I'll take the plunge on the way up. Listed as Bolton Abbey.....

I told the lady of the camp site that people would tell her our web-site name when booking, don't know if you can do this on line so your probable best ringing her. Also another reason why you'll need to ring is she's not put the single ocupancey price on there yet (as of the 3rd) so to get it for £10 p/n you'll have to speak to them direct.

Got it already planned. As said earlier I plan to pop in to both the site + pub when I'm back on the road (1st April).
Unable to book us in as they need a deposit as also said earlier.
Come on guys, keep up :roll: .
Already paid in full so I'll be there. Even if you lot are somewhere else :shock:

As it was such a nice day today and I had no work I thought that a run out was needed. I headed towards Hawes in the Yorkshire dales and suddenly realised that I wasn,t far from the site that you lucky people are staying at in July, so why not go for a looksee. I went over the top of the Dales N.P to Grassington and on from there. You,re in for a treat with brilliant roads and stunning scenery(I figured it must have been nearly 8 years since I was last down that road). I found the site ok and it looked as if they were getting ready to open with the grass cut and work on the gravel roads. The site goes down to the river and is in a beautiful spot and the pub is a 2 minute walk away with another one just a little further on. It looks like Jason has got it spot on with this one, well done mate :)
Just one thing though, it looks close enough for Jason to walk to in an hour or so :wink:
Will

Sshhhh, don't let the wife hear she thinks it's at least 2 hours away by bike :lol:
Just a quick update for anyone trying to book a pitch at the campsite by phone.
After trying repeatedly to speak to a human being instead of an answering machine over the last two weeks :BangHead I got a callback to the voice mail message i'd left on their machine last week, kindly letting me know that the lady that takes the bookings wasn't very well & had been in hospital :(
The person told me that although they couldn't take my booking themselves, they reassured me that my booking would be taken early next week by the usual lady who was now feeling a little better :eusa_dance
So hopefully, my next post will confirm a booking :?: (Fingers crossed) :thumbsup
I have been AWOL a bit.
:)
I take it that we are to arrive on Friday 20th July and leave on the Sunday? And that we are to book in advance?
Apart from bringing our own food, does the campsite have facilities or are we eating at local pub?
Cheers.
Yup, arrive Friday, leave Sunday.
The campsite has a small shop, selling bread, eggs and bacon etc, but we`re eating at the pub at night, there`s a list on here somewhere to leave your name down for the evening meals as they require a rough list of numbers
If someone can put me down for evening meal on both nights that'll be grand.
If Blacktiger can remember to pack some extra bacon for me, that would also be grand ;)

You won't get much action on there. That site is pretty much defunct because the people who started it have moved on to other bikes.
I use it as a convenient place to hold Garmin .gdb files where other people, such as you, can download them.
You say "that morning". Do you mean Friday or Saturday? I think most will be arriving at the camp site Friday evening hence the two meals etc. being Friday and Saturday nights.
Right, I've been watching this for a while and even tho' I have jumped ship, as an ex tiger owner I thought I would meet up with you all again, just don't take the pee out of my KTM it gets upset easily.

Hi, i have to work till midday Friday then straight to the rally from Solihull. I have booked two meals for Friday and saturday night. What about breakfast? Does the pub do these of have i got to bring the bacon and mushrooms and fire the stove up for tea and butties? LOL Also i will need tyres before the rally so my question is, how extreme is the rideout? Will i get away with the normal dual sport type tyres or will i have to order some TKC`s?

Hi crusty and nice that your coming along. Everyone will be fending for themselves as far as breakfast goes. Don't worry blacktiger does a mean bacon butty :lol: . As far as the ride on Saturday, 80/90 % of it is on narrow single track tarmac roads. Theres nothing to stop and look at like last year, this ride is all about the cracking views.If you look at the first post on page one the details are there. I asked if anyone wanted any off road stuff but no one seened bother'd which suits me as my tiger doesn't like getting her feet mucky :lol:

Nothing off road for me either, don`t want to bend my wheels :lol:
Have downloaded the route from website. What do i need to load it? I have a garmin zumo, do i have to load it onto that? Crusty

So my guess is that you haven't had the Zumo long?
Yes, double click on the .gdb file and it'll open as a Mapsource document. Plug your Zumo into the computer and wait for it to be recognised..."bing, bong". Then click the "transfer to unit" button and watch it load. You then unplug and let the Zumo fire up then import the route. Done.
Sorry if I'm teaching you to suck eggs........ but............?
Thanks Blacktiger i will have a go at that later. I have had the Zumo ages and it is a great bit of kit, but not so good on what makes it run, Not happy with the constant need to upgrade stuff!! Why do you think i bought a steamer? Old school bike that you have a chance of fixing when i plays up. ( I hear they have fuel injection on some of these modern machines now??? LOL)
Will bring a cattering pack of bacon as i have been known to knock out a decent bacon and mushroom butty.
Crusty
Would have loved to attend, but am in Turkey on them dates (not on the bike though :( ) these meets always fall at the wrong time...
Have fun and hope it don't rain for ya.....

I find the promise of beer usually works. (well, It does for me :P ) How's about we pitch the close location of the local pub and the food menu available :?: The way to a man's heart..etc..etc.. :lol:
I get the impression that they're frightened of going outside that forum. They might catch something!! My posts are mostly ignored. Very odd when we've got something they want already organised.
I know what you mean :!: i had the same reaction from the ABR forum :roll: come guys, any ideas :?:

You seem to be an exception Selina.
More like 'spechial' :lol:
Tried drumming up some interest around Kent as it's a nice ride too, only to be met with.....overnight.......in a tent........wot no rooms......etc blah,blah blah, never mind it's their loss, it will be enjoyable anyway.
Looks like Selina has added support and some are starting to look at coming to the same site. Whether they'll lower their standards and talk to 900, 955 & 1050 owners is another story. :roll:
Have we got any "Dora's'" coming along :?: it was nice to see the "fresh out of the box" 800's last year 8)
I'm lost here. When is the meetup and where is it? I'm pretty much game for joining but trying to follow this thread gave me a sore head.

Hi BruKen, try going back to page1, All will be revealed :!: :D
Ah, yes. Errrr, ummmm.... look! A squirrel!
At the risk of being shot. Do I book and pay through the weblink or organiser? Ya, hey, I'm coming along again but won't be doing any heavy offroading. Last years collateral damage serves a healthy warning. 400lbs plus plenty pigs don't fly.
yep book and pay direct with campsite.. might take a coupel of phonecalls... think aedj was after when/if peopel were having evening meal in pub so he could let them know..
off roading.. nah.. :D
Well I will definitely eat Saturday, but will probably be too late to eat on the Friday. So dinner for 1 please.

You know where we'll be though, yes? The pub is 5 minutes walk to the east of the campsite.
Don't forget to mention Tiger Triple when you book the campsite to get the reduced rate,
OK, I've booked. Very nice old gal who didn't know quite where we'd be staying, but knew that we were the "Tiger Club" and asked if I knew any of you by name so I could be matched against it and put in the correct field.
Apparently none of you have booked in under your forum names :evil: and she was quite disbelieving when I gave aesdj as an example and made me look like a prat when she said pronounce it! But she took my bucks anyway. Business over, we had a virtual coffee and chin wag and mutually agreed that the Black Tiger must be the lead exotic dancer of the troupe
They do know we are a hairy biker convention, right?

We like to be incognito.
The nearest I get to exotic is lycra shorts under my riding kit.
Must admit she seemed a bit confused when I booked.

Suits me, I like to be 'special'.
I e-mailed Mark at the Craven Arms just to see if there was anything noteworthy occurring over the weekend we're there & he tells me, that although there's a few functions going on over the weekend, the 'Tiger' group will be more than welcome :!:
As they are in the SPBW (Society for the Preservation of Beers in the Wood) I for one will be looking forward to sampling a few of their fine ales :eusa_dance :occasion14
Not long now :wav :D

I've not popped into the pub as yet as my bikes been off the road for nearly 4 weeks now :( trying to sort out these dam oil lines :evil: . As soon as I'm back on the road I'll go and reserve our places.
Been out on the bike today for the first time in 5/6 weeks and I thought it best I went and booked the meals at the pub.
Friday 20th July = 12 places
Saturday 21st July = 13 places
They asked what time we want to eat so I said 7pm. If this is a problem for anyone, let me know and I can change it.

Not booked yet, they're closed at the moment. Not sure if i'll be coming up early on saturday, or coming after work on friday evening (finish at 6)
Either way, i'd miss the meal so i'll bring my own grub for friday if I do :P
Looking forward to meeting you lads
Finally managed to do the full route that I'm planning on taking you all on (still got rained on though) but it's only 108miles and took me 3h30mins with no stops.Add lets say 1hour for lunch and a start time of 10am that only takes us up to 2.30pm.With there being nothing of interest to stop and look at I'm going to look at adding another 60miles or so on to it which should take us up to around 4.30pm.I'll try and find somethings of interest to lower the milage.
Quote from: "BigDan"Not sure if i'll be coming up early on saturday, or coming after work on friday evening (finish at 6)
As I've said above we are planning on setting off at 10am so make sure your there for then Dan.
Sorry guys I am not sure if I can make it this year as the Tiger has just mashed Fourth gear. If I can get the bits in time I can get it back together and hopefully attend.
:BangHead :(
You best 'ad do!! :P And you know why haha :D
Best o' luck mate
Just to say, booked and paid for today. £26.50 for the two nights, is that right? £12 a night + booking fee?
Quote from: "BigDan"Just to say, booked and paid for today. £26.50 for the two nights, is that right? £12 a night + booking fee?
No, it should be £10 per night + booking fee. If you tell them your with the TigerTriple group you should get it at that price.
Quote from: "metalguru"Sorry guys I am not sure if I can make it this year as the Tiger has just mashed Fourth gear. If I can get the bits in time I can get it back together and hopefully attend.
Sorry to hear that mate. Hope you get it sorted in time.
Bad news about the gearbox mate.
On another note, wheres the nearest petrol station to where we are staying?

Yeah, I told her that... Hmm!! I'll mention it to them at some point, might not be much but thats nearly 2 pints :P
I`m coming too :D , not booked as yet, if metalguru cant get the gearbox sorted in time I`ll take his place and reinburse his camping fees, if he gets sorted then I`ll book.
2 x meals here.
Quote from: "rf9rider"On another note, wheres the nearest petrol station to where we are staying?
There's one in Threshfield and Kettlewell and there both on the route at 4.7 + 10.7 miles from Appletreewick.I'll check next time I'm out on their opening times/price but it won't be this weekend unless I can graft some floatation devices on to the Tiger :lol: .I'd say it's best to fill up once your near Appletree at a major town etc as your guaranteed it being open and cheaper than the above that are in the middle of nowhere.

I'm potentially looking to make this one if theres room. That's if the bloody stator decides it going to work now, as in second new one fault on first etc etc cheers Spud :wink:
Been in touch with Tan Hill Inn about some dinner and they say it's fine but can I ring them when we set off or we could just stop there for a drink and grab lunch elsewere.We can decide that on the Friday.
Whats the weather like up there at the moment?
Quote from: "rf9rider"Whats the weather like up there at the moment?
What is that a trick question :shock: .It's pissing it down :cry: on and off like it has been doing for the last 10 weeks.Didn't mind for the first 6/7 weeks as my bike was off the road whilst I did my oil lines but now I want it to sod off so I can:-
a) Get out on the bike.
b) Go on the route to see what the extra loops I've added in are like.
Been out of touch enjoying a tour of British Columbia. Been seeing the weather reports of floods of Biblical proportions. We're still on are we?
Yup still going, just hopeing we may get some weather!
Is the campsite still campable?
Quote from: "metalguru"Is the campsite still campable?
The weather is ment to be ok on Sunday so I'll pop in and make sure but I carn't see why not.
Blacktiger hope you had a great time.As far as I'm aware we're still on.
It might be a good idea to get some contact numbers together, if anyone doesn't turn up but went missing along the way, or someone gets lost e.t.c.?
Mine is 07889 198 876
If the weather is anything next weekend as it is right now, I'll be arriving by boat using the steamer as an anchor. I'll keep my eye out for the old man with a menagerie in his. A fekin Ark should be hard to miss!

Blacktiger, are you (& anyone else having to travel past 8) ) still planning on popping to mine on the way up north for tea & biccies :?:
Still on from my point of view, but then we have a proper roof :D
Off to Fort William tomorrow, see ya'll next w'end :wink:
Hope you all have a great time next week. Shame that I couldn,t make it this year, but I,m off to sunny Bulgaria t,moro morning. Don,t worry about the weather, I,ve had a word and ordered some sunshine for you all.I was in N.I. a couple of weeks ago and if they can race round country lanes in this weather then I,m sure you can cope.
Good luck and enjoy.
PS lots of pics please :wink:
Will.

Will try to see if i can get something else sorted this week to get the dates changed so will get back to you all if i can still come out to play. If i come does anyone want to see the tow bar trailer rig? I dont need it for just me out for the weekend but could drag it along if there is any interest in it for you. Either on sorting one out for yourselves or just another camp fire topic to take the piss out of when the 800 crew have ritired to bed with their piss poor fuel figures! :lol: :wink: :twisted:

Right guys,been out to the site today and everythings good.He's put some matting down last week when the weather was really bad but with the river drawing the wetness away and the sun + wind that we've had this weekend the grounds nearly dry. I asked if he could keep us near to the entrance to the field as mud and top heavy Tiger's don't play nice together which he said would be fine. If the field does become slippery he'll put some matting down just for us.
I believe PeterH was asking about petral. The one that is 4.7miles awey (Threshfields) is open Saturday 8am - 5pm and unleaded is 135.9 which isn't to bad really.
I'll ring the pub with final numbers Thursday and I'll confirm that 7pm is good for everyone.
If I've forgotten anything or you want some info on something just let me know.
The petral station is open 8am - 5pm everyday if anyone wants to fill up Friday but I only posted the time for Saturday, sorry :oops:
BruKen, Im off all day Friday so making an early`ish start...hopefully have the canvas up...deck chair out...and man kini on well before 1600 :D
Plus I dont fancy either the M6 or M60...62 whatever at that time of day :(
Oh, aesdj... it wasnt me...I ride a proper Tigger..it dont need juice, just a cuddle :wink:
Twas me asking about the petrol station, thanks mate. :)
All being well, i`ll be leaving around 9/10am, i`ve got Bixer Bobs tel number, so any problems i`ll let him know :)

Bad news indeed. "Work" is a four letter word.
Weather claiming to be sunny on the saturday now...
I am sorry but I can not make this one,
you guys have a great time and post loads of photos
I`m ready, bike checked over etc.
Looks like the weather is on the turn for the better.
yep, just need to find my camping stuff and work out how to strap it all on :shock: and i'll be set.. :D
Careful you don't bend the U trap on the kitchen sink when strapping it down :wink:
Just been in touch with the pub and there's been some confusion about the booking :x . I'll tell you all about it tomorow but the meal for Friday (12 people) is now at 7.30pm and Saturday (14 people) is 7.00pm.

Sounds OK to me. Reckoning on getting to the campsite around 5~5:30pm tomorrow.
I'm getting well pissed with the pub now. Just had the manager ring me back to say that they carn't do the times that I was told above. Even though I booked in person 3/4 weeks ago they classed it as not being confirmed :? and the person should have taken my number for them to have been able to ring me. Seems like the 2 staff that I've spoke to don't know what they are doing.The manager couldn't apoligise enough but that doesn't help us.Anyway the new meal time is 8.30pm for both meals but they will try and get us in sooner if they can. Really sorry guys.

Sorry guys, it looks like I'm backing out.
Just picked up three new projects at work this week and its becoming plain they need attention this weekend to get off the ground.
Gutted not to go but roughly speaking this is going to keep 4 people in work for 12 months, inc me!
Great time in Yorkshire. Big thanks to Jason for arranging everything and especially the excellent route for Saturday. You couldn't have better "Tiger" roads to ride over.
So here are my photos.....

So the BIG question now is ; where to next year?
P.S. Nigels KTM picked up a rear puncture on the way home. After trying two cans of foam which came straight out of the small hole that they should have sealed easily we fitted a new tube.
Excellent shots Blacktiger! They really capture the spirit of the ride out!
& What's that you say, another puncture? There's sabotage afoot! At least the practice of helping to fix mine & Metalguru's punctures on the up to the way to the meet came in handy :!:
It was nice to see all of you guys again & of course nice to see some new faces too :D
I think everyone will aggree, a great weekend was had by all :!:
Like Blacktiger says:- WHERE TO NEXT :?: :?: :?:
:iagree
Brilliant weekend and some great roads to great places, many thanks to Jason it must have taken some organising..
Nice ride up and down, thanks Blacktiger, nice scenic maintenance stops!!
See you all next year but WHERE?
I was just thinking " where's the Roadie" myself, great lineup just the same, lucky burgers :(

well they're not horse drawn vehicles, so must be animals!

it was one of those rides where i'd have really liked an on board video to catch all the scenery...

I'm sure MetalGuru and one of the new boys, the guy who was suppost to meet up with Mat Tiger had video cams on ther helmets.

Hey! Nobody saw it so it didn't happen. Your shennanigans are all on film. He he!
Nothing to see here, please move along.
Yeah! Paint missing on the crash bars, a graze on my shin and being wet down one side means NOW'T. :oops:
