Mahoooooosive Wiltshire bikers group photo 2010
Now i know we all 'pretend' we hate having our pictures taken, but picture the seen - Row after row of Polished bikes with their well lubed and oiled owners grinning wickedly with pride and obsession, shining in the sun (hopefully!) in front of a cracking backdrop. That's got to be worth organising surely?
Maybe tag it onto the last ride out of the Summer....or an official Sunday ride out.....or just creat a special day of it. Get everyone to make an extra big effort for the turn out and try to make it an annual thing.
I know i'd like an oversized picture of my fellow bike droolers hanging in the downstairs toilet!!
Where would you hang yours? ;D

Re: Mahoooooosive Wiltshire bikers group photo 2010
Now that is an inspired idea Liam, I would hang mine in the upstairs toilet coz only posh people have a downstairs toilet!!! :D ;D ;D
seriously though.... a group photo would be a fantastic keepsake.... i would buy one, over to Ro??

Re: Mahoooooosive Wiltshire bikers group photo 201
I have a separate ladies and gents toilets ;D love the idea it's a keeper [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Re: Mahoooooosive Wiltshire bikers group photo 2010
maybe we could all buy one.... proceeds to WB coffers!
-
Re: Mahoooooosive Wiltshire bikers group photo 2010
Really good idea. If Ro is not available to take the photograph, I have a DLSR camera and tripod and would be happy to give it a go. Can't guarantee the quality of the shot though as still a bit of an amateur

Re: Mahoooooosive Wiltshire bikers group photo 2010
I think it's a great idea, but I bet it'll be hard to set up with a good backdrop. I've had one idea for where we could try: on the Remembrance Day ride-out to Shaftesbury last year, we spotted that bikes could park (probably illegally) on the wide promenade by the memorial, where there's a spectacular view.

Re: Mahoooooosive Wiltshire bikers group photo 2010
Excellent idea Basil....glad you shared it on here....thanks for thinking of it.....Im sure with all the different 'heads' on WB a couple of great ideas will come up.....and they have already started coming in. i.e Ro.

Re: Mahoooooosive Wiltshire bikers group photo 2010
Sounds like a good idea to me, would definately be up for something like this, I need a decent pic to go in the diningroom

Re: Mahoooooosive Wiltshire bikers group photo 2010
Exmouth beach has got a long promenade...especially down the bottom end where the road ends at the cliffs. There's also a path going up the cliff so the photographer can easily get some elevated shots, that way we can get in a few rows deep to fill the shot and have the sea as the backdrop........it'll also be a bloody good ride down there and the cafe on the sea front is a real winner.
My wife is a keen amateur photographer with a "Karlos Fandango" DSLR blah blah blah thingy!! She'd be happy to take the shots and supply the digital images to everyone who wants them, it's just a case of hitting a button these days, so it wont cost any more than fuel and munchies.
It's great that people want to offer their services to take photos, it's just i'm sure you (and the rest of us) would rather have you in it [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Any more suggestions of locations?
And i suppose we should start thinking about dates and start taking names

Re: Mahoooooosive Wiltshire bikers group photo 2010
Great idea! I'd buy one and hang it over the holes in the bedroom where the ex took the flat screen telly! ;D
-
Re: Mahoooooosive Wiltshire bikers group photo 201
How about going down to Portland bill and using one of the lighthouses as a backdrop? I would suggest doing the photos of an evening because the lighting gives a better feel to the shots and creates less shadows and makes for a better background. I would be more than happy to take individual portraits of peeps with thWeir bikes as well.
-
Re: Mahoooooosive Wiltshire bikers group photo 2010
Wicked idea, Basil, I'm in! Let me know with plenty of time please, going to have to wash the bike for the first time ever!
-
Re: Mahoooooosive Wiltshire bikers group photo 2010
i think thats a brill idea!only thing is we kinda want someone who isnt a wber to take the pic other wise someone has to miss out :-/
also are pillions allowed :P
-
Re: Mahoooooosive Wiltshire bikers group photo 2010
Ooohh brlliant idea, please can it be once I've done my mod2 and I have my own bike????????? pleeeeeaaaaaassssssseeeeeeeee?

I'd like an individual pic too Chris [smiley=thumbsup.gif] Really like the idea of an evening shoot with a lighthouse backdrop - excellent idea! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Re: Mahoooooosive Wiltshire bikers group photo 2010

Actually, that's a very good point - are there any lighthouses in Wiltshire that would be suitable?
-
Re: Mahoooooosive Wiltshire bikers group photo 2010
The lighthouse chimney by the White Horse!!! ;D
Great point Dabz, it should be in Wiltshire....some kind of recognisable ref. point to the county.
Shall we give it until Monday 16th for people to put down their ideas and then run a poll on the locations suggested??
Then the tricky bit......WHEN?! :-?
-
Re: Mahoooooosive Wiltshire bikers group photo 2010
Do you think they would allow bikes around Stone henge or how about Avebury?
-
Re: Mahoooooosive Wiltshire bikers group photo 2010
What about a pic in front of Longleat House?
it's not very far so the 125's could be there as well! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

I can't believe a guy shared your bedroom Gemma and wanted to watch the telly, .... ;D :D ;D
I apologise for that.... couldn't resist it!!! ::) :D ;D

Re: Mahoooooosive Wiltshire bikers group photo 2010
i like longleat [smiley=thumbsup.gif] it has to be in wiltshire for sure [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
-
Re: Mahoooooosive Wiltshire bikers group photo 2010
Im in full agreement with the Wiltshire thing.... we are Wiltshire bikers..... also agree with Toph about it being close enough for the 125ers to get there.....Longleat is a great idea.... bikers sat on the steps and bikes in front maybe....... anyone friendly with Lord Bath??? lol.....or its a case of writing a very well worded 'begging' letter asking for permission. He may go for it you never know.
Worth a try.......Dabz is there a big anniversary coming up or anything like that?? The publicity would be free for Mr Bath (not that he needs it) but he may go along with it....never know until we ask ;D ;D

Re: Mahoooooosive Wiltshire bikers group photo 2010
mmmm...now theres an idea Ro....I saw the photo from that and it was brilliant... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Also, a friend of mine had a photo taken at westbury cement works club on the lawn with the white horse in the background. But that was a few years ago and although it looked excellent I dont know what the area is like nowadays.... It would be good to have as many ideas and as much input on this as possible as it involves all of us so keep those ideas coming in xx ;D ;D
-
Re: Mahoooooosive Wiltshire bikers group photo 2010
Longleat would be excellent

Yes, there were some great photos there - WolfHunter took this one from the lift thing:

You can just see our group: far left, second row from the bottom.

Re: Mahoooooosive Wiltshire bikers group photo 2010
anniversary...well we have our 5th birthday as a club coming up on 2nd Jan! we could use that as the event, though not really the best time of year, so we'd want to do it a lot earlier than that
-
Re: Mahoooooosive Wiltshire bikers group photo 2010
i like the idea of bowood or longleat!big places in wiltshire that people know!
if they have a little cafe they will make a killing aswel :P be great to make it an annual thing or every 2 years or something :)
-
Re: Mahoooooosive Wiltshire bikers group photo 2010
Bowood seems like a good place. if the guv would let us do it. Any one know of someone with a cherry picker?
-
Re: Mahoooooosive Wiltshire bikers group photo 2010
Kemble Airfield? It's a bit marginal on the county - the main buildings are in Gloucestershire but some of the runways are in Wiltshire :)
It's a bit of a Wiltshire cliché, but I do quite like the idea of a white horse in the background. Which one though?
I don't know of any lighthouses, but Westmill Wind Farm might be interesting::
