Bit late notice I realise but I too not be turning up. I have been thinking about it all day and decided about lunch time I wouldnt be coming. My rear tyre does not have the required ~700 miles (250mi each way and allowing up to 200 for the ride) life left in it that I need to get there and back and complete the ride out.
:-(

We're bound to do another in the future mate :)

Good to see so many there [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Yeah a terrific morning. Stand up, sit down, move your bike, put you helmet on, take you helmet off ;D
Seriously though. Many thanks to the team for making this happen and to Tash and basil for bossing us around so politely x
Good to see you all there. It's not often I make it to meets like this. Mrs A was chuffed by the warm welcome too. She was a bit miffed to see the boys scrapping in Warminster Services, as was I. But let that not ruin a good meet... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
sorry I couldn't make Weymouth the misses got pissed last night so I was head chef today, still made the photo and hello to everyone I missed. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
It was great to see so many faces there today.....new people too.....and please please dont be offended if I forget your name...its normal (everyone knows what im like).....and its also a good excuse to buy a t-shirt or hoodie for the dopes like me who are pants with names
Shame things got a bit wobbly at one point but please understand this is not common practice and it is the first time I have witnessed this sort of thing....but in saying that certain things need to be said sometimes and explained to 'people'.......
But anyway....thanks millions and squillions to our lovely photographer and her balancing act on that platform, thanks also to her 'not-so-lovely' hairy assistant 'Basil' for keeping the rabble organised and in position......And a massive thank you to everyone who got out of bed so early on a Sunday morning to visit some old house to have a picture taken.....cant wait to see the pics now hehe [smiley=thumbsup.gif] [smiley=thumbsup.gif] [smiley=thumbsup.gif] ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
When do we get to see the results? :-?
Not sure Mr Able....... but knowing Tash and Basil I doubt it will be long..... ;D ;D
I'm not sure how much scrapping we got in, I think the people around us saw what was happening and got in quick, hands did seem to come for everywhere! All that happened was he bit my elbow, I'm guessing pulling my hair was out of the question as I just had my head shaved, and with all the people around holding him, he didn't manage to get to his handag, tetanus and rabies jab later all's good!Quote:

The guy doesn't take a hint, or even being told directly, in fact he just rode ahead of us and got to Weymouth before we did.
So I apologise to all members, old and new, for my part in todays incident, I hope it didn't spoil what was otherwise a great day, and I hope it didn't spoil your impression of what, in my mind, is an amazing group of people and a great community.
I always miss the good stuff ;D ;Dis he banned or isn't he banned there's only one way to find out FIGHT!!!!! ;D ;D ;D
Had a really enjoyable morning - Thanks to all who attended and the great organisation. Looking forward to seeing the results. Hunar, I don't think you're the one that should be apologising but I think it's very good of you to do so. You only said what most often think but haven't been brave enough to say to his face, so perhaps now the message will be understood? All in all though, a really great morning and hope the results are good :)
Really good day with great company,well worth the rather early start. Hope Hunar has his tetinus jabs up to date ;)
Fantastic day! The riding was fantastic and much different than I expected. Was my first official ride with everyone, and will defiantly be coming next time! Get some Wiltshire Bikers miles I guess.
Thanks for everyone for the company and the warm welcome. Along with all the compliments on the deafening machine of mine. Ouch - my ears are bleeding.
Hope all the best for Richard Lane, and everyone defiantly made Wiltshire Bikers proud at the scene of that accident.
Cheers guys. Cant wait to see your pictures!
Are the photos going to be on sale ? [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

someone please enlighten me, it's not the guy who was with us on iow is it? u know the one on the beach???
What a FAB morning!!! HUGE well done to Basil and Tash for organising and taking the photos, you are both stars!!! It worked out really well, would have been nice to have a bit more time and more photos but hey we've done it once we can do it again!! It was defo worth getting up for ( not that I slept last night - 1hr sleep! :() and I am sure everyone will be thrilled with the results...so a great big pat on the backs of the organisers!!! [smiley=thumbsup.gif] [smiley=thumbsup.gif] [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
The incident when we got back to Warminster Services did spoil it but only for a few short minutes. I do have to say this though... I have re read the threads and can see nowhere that is says we were going back to Warminster after the shoot ( please correct me if I have missed it?? :-/) so I assume the only way the ex member knew we were going to be there was to have been told as his arrival at the services was spot on to ours, take from that what you will but I would like to say that today was a Wiltshire Bikers organised event and ride out, I understand that some people are still on speaking terms with the ex member and if they want to ride with him then they should arrange their own ride outs and not invite him onto the WB ones as he has been told on a number of occasions that he is not welcome.
Hunar, there is no need to apoligise at all and I am grateful that you had the balls to speak to him as I know from personal experience he does not listen when he is told to stop upsetting people so thank you. I will say no more on the matter as I think enough time has been wasted on the subject but please people bear in mind WB events, ride outs and meets are for WBers!
To end this post I will say all in all it was a fantastic day with great people (yes even you basil ;):-* lol), the ride back home with the mighty Hunar was a great potter, the wx was perfect and the company as always great!!
CHEERS GUYS!!!!!
Roxy [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
potter? that was pottering was it? well some of it was through the villages, but alot of it wasn't! See told you that you are faster than me, that was a blat for me, and a potter for you, I need a sports bike lol, but I did enjoy pottering with you!Quote:

Really liked the beach racing, great fun, I bet they really ache tomorrow morning, especially those in the “expert race” which went on for ages.
Thought I’d jot this down before jumping in the shower to de-sand myself.
Hope the photo’s come out well, judging by Tash’s previous pics I’m sure they will be great. Well done Basil & Dabs in organising us rabble
Great ride there & back, thanks to Scotty & Stu for a job well done.
It was also Gemma’s first try of her heated top which was a great success (even though a person with normal blood wouldn’t be cold anyway) I’ve even got a red head to prove the sun came out 8-)
All in all, an excellent and entertaining day [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Regading the small incident at Warminster, I can only echo Tina's & Roxy's sentiments above.
can i just say i know the (ex member) and no i didnt say anything about where we were meeting but up to this point he has not offended me and the times he has to others ive put him straight, does this mean your also going to ban me because i speak to him.Quote:

i know he is not a liked guy and for some of the things he has done rightly so but its a pity as bikers we cant all get on , i am in know way defending him just viewing my feelings.Quote:

Speedy no one is saying you are not entitled to your views etc.....he is just not welcome at WB events thats all.....he has offended way too many people in his time and so thats just the way it is......if you choose to ride with him or chat with him thats your choice (and no-one is criticising or judging you at all) but he is just not welcome at any WB activities [smiley=thumbsup.gif] [smiley=thumbsup.gif]....and hopefully he will respect the wishes of 99% of the members :) :)
Thanks to Basil and the events team for all the work that went in to organising the photo shoot and especially to Tash for being chauffeur and daredevil photographer!
