Guest Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Hi everybody,I am new to this forum and also new in Manchester so I am looking for people to ride with. I am going to Matlock for the first time on Sunday, starting in Didsbury, so I was wondering if there is anyone else going this way?Riding a Harley so I am not a speed freak, my fast and furious days are over (even though I am only 36).Hope to hear from anyone here or a chat in Matlock would be appreciated. I am on black Sportster with disc wheels and probably look a bit lost Cheers,Dan Quote
Guest philgale Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 would of done but my tyres are shot....maybe next time... Quote
Guest Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Hello.............would have done, but iam at the National Motorbike Museum this Sunday. Another time.. Quote
Guest Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 I'm trying to preserve the petrol right now... If the weather is particularly nice, i will join you though Quote
pumilio Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Hi Dan and welcome to the forum. I am probably up for a run to Matlock tomorrow. I live nearby to you in Heald Green. What time were you thinking of heading out? Quote
Guest Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Ooooo I'm up for it! I'm taking my bike over to the other side of Wigan today to see my folks and coming back tomorrow. I'll be passing through your neck of the woods. If you wanna meet up my name is in the contacts section. Just drop me a text. I'll take you ia Matlock and drop in for a quick cuppa. Only draw back is I can't leave to early as it just seems like I'm dropping my kids on my folks and running for the hills X Will X Quote
Guest akey Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 I'm with willow in wigan but will pick the bike up on Sun as we go past and meet you all in matlock if we make it (guess who's driving the car with the kids in). Quote
Guest Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 hi m8 i might be up for this but im in work till 12 if that any good to u, i need to blow away those winter cob webs Quote
Guest Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Thanks for all the replies. Seems to be a good forum this. As pumilio lives in Herald Green that could be a good place to join up at and then continue to Cat&Fiddle and the peaks and Matlock. pumilio, any suggestion on where to meet?lozz, can you make it to 12:30?Cheers,Dan Quote

Guest akey Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 I am keeping an eye on this thread for willow once you have a start point and time we will work out where best to meet you, might be c&f or on route. I will then catch up with you all at Matlock. Quote
pumilio Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Hi allWe could maybe meet at Hunt's Honda on the A34 (aka Kingsway) at 12:30 for a 12:45 departure to Matlock via the cat and fiddle. That would probably put us at the cat around 1:30p-ish.That work for everyone? Quote
Guest Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Excellent! See you there. Looking forward to it Quote
Guest akey Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Sounds like a plan. Willow will meet you at the cat at 1330. I will go pick up the tiger and meet you at matlock bath, might pick you up on route.Willow is happy to lead you from the cat to matlock as there are roadworks on the a6 around Buxton.Looking forward to meeting you and looking forawrd to seeing the new tiger pulmilo!

brooklyn Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 il see you guys at 13.30 at the cat n fiddle pub tomo if i can spot you... Quote
Guest akey Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Willow will be on a red and black 02 cbr600f sport. She will have a denim bike jacket on and a black shark lid.I will be on a black tiger 955 at Matlock with a White shoei dual sport helmet.Hope that helps Quote
pumilio Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 I plan to be at the cat at ~1:30. I'll probably be on a black Triumph Tiger 1050 with black helmet. However, if I get time in the am to adjust the chain in time to leave I'll be on a black and yellow fireblade... Quote
