Name tags, yep I'm sure you are right as I was wandering around, only having spoke to 2 members on the day.

A better effort would be welcome instead of the 'look' you get, when you arrive.

Thanks again Steve for the burger if without the bun

Thanks for another great day out CJ, thanks to Jane for the cheese burger, met lots of old friends, and some new ones....thanks to Steve at BB for the hospitality ( never did pick up that bolt) but did get the paddock shirt, had a good run home in the sunshine with Smarty, had some fun in Revesby park with 2 lads on sports bike, when we stopted for petrol in Horncastle they were all of 25/6 ish we old buggers should know better but a good first run of the year..scrubbed my new tyre in..to the edge, both sides

Stay lucky Woody.

Sorry you felt you got "a look" and that I and some others didnt get to speak to you Phil but then again you didnt speak to us either so fault is on both sides. I found when I was unknown to folk at my first meet that any perceived ice soon melted when I went over and introduced myself



And I was wearing a name tag of sorts my T shirt says Tigs on the back it was just hidden under 3 other layers

Yer miserable git.

Some but not a lot, tracked down it's build history through a mate in Milwaukee but not a lot after that until Nigel, the boss, found it in an antique shop in Derbyshire

indeed first ride out this year still got the stupid grin great company,
thanks cj&jj even had sunshine ........whichway?

........have you tried turning me off & then turning me on again ?

can't be too shy Grillphill. Gotta get in there and introduce yourself. i still don't know everyone and invariably forget names just vaguely recognising some from a meet somewhere else. Everyone gets looked at when arriving, it's normal as peeps try to recognise bike/rider combo (even if you don't come in a sidecar)
A good opening line might be to comment on someone with 2 burgers in his hand as to why his wheel bearings don't last too long then?
meeting bods from internet forums can be an eye opener and sometimes strange. Hope you don't feel groomed.

Cheers, Richard.

Nice to see everyone again. Thanks to CJ and Jane for the organisation and hospitality and obviously thanks to Steve for spending quality time with us

Not everyone in UKBEG is generously proportioned - a few of us have managed to maintain their racing snake physiques ....

Partly my fault I suppose & will make more effort at the next meet. 2/10 must try harder

Gutted I missed it! but no chance for me to be there even thought I live less than 15 miles away, glad you all had a good time, I hope to bump into a few of you this year, anyone in east anglia going for a rideout give me a shout, off on my own from Cambridge to Huntstanton on the 11/4 so anyone want to pop along or meet on the seafront give me a shout.
cheers
