The more the merrier.

I also have a bit of an agenda, because it will be useful to have someone with a 4x4 following me down the West Coast, picking up the bits that have been falling off my bike.:thumbup1:

Birdy

Birdy,

I'm pretty hardy, but you're looking at -5 with an on shore wind this time of year, not like in the late summer. So I'd go for a cheap and cheerful back packers, as you're more than likely get breakfast, they'll look after your kit, most of them even read you a bed time story. You'll probably get the place to yourself, as there's almost no trade this time of year. I have had a scout about and the deals seem to be as follows:

Back packers

Baggies Back Packers, 33 Oriental Place - 01273 733 740 - Prices from £13 - Courtyard parking I think, but check.

Grape Vine, 75 Middle Street or 29 North Road - 01273 703 958 - Prices from £13

St Christopher's, 10 Grand Junction Road - 01273 202 035 - Prices from £16

Of course, far be it from me to put you off sleeping under the pier, I'm verging on a fare weather biker here!

Iain.

PS

The offer still stands.

Birdy, Check your email's...:thumbup1:

Mini meet
 

well as luck would have it a job has come up in Brighton for me on Friday, so I will be able to pop along for the evening, bikes still having some mods done to it so it will have to be the works vans but what the heck as long as I can get along.

So looking forward to see some new faces, and see who's going where and when.

cheers,

Colin

Thanks very much for those places Iain, I will get myself inside one. I may be fairly stupid, but don't think I am quite stupid enough for camping out on the beach at this time of year. Besides my girlfriend may be coming up to see me off, and I think she would rather sleep somewhere with a roof.

Thanks for the offer too Matt, most kind of you. But, as I have already mentioned, the lady might be coming, so we will have to get somewhere in town.

Looking forward to it.

Birdy

A pier ences
 

Hi Birdy, given that you sometimes sleep under piers, perhaps you could give me some tips on how one also attracts a lady! Always seems to evade me. Linzi.

Haha, she's far too good for me, but also happens to be attracted to the trampy look.

She's beautiful and not at all trampy, but likes her men to look like they've slept under a pier, and stink of roll ups and spirits. I like to oblige. :thumbup1:

Birdy

anyone need a lift !!!!!
 

hi all, i am coming down from the crawley area, for the meet tomorrow at the hanover pub, just wondering if anybody needs a liftdown to brighton, i am afraid i can only take one person as i have ajeep and only 2 seats, don,t mind going out of my way abit, if so give me a call on 07718905005 , see you all tomorrow. cheers freddy

Thanks Iain for your hostel work, I think we'll be staying at the St. Chris one, it is close enough to the pier to bring back fond memories.:thumbup1:

Looking forward to seeing you all, looks like it will be quite a large 'mini meet.'

Birdy.

As suspected I can't be there. :( Enjoy the night and have a pint for me.

Thanks everyone for coming out on such a cold night, it was nice to meet some more hubbers. I think the plan is to do another one in March.

The mystery still remains though, what happened to Paul, after calling Mike earlier in the day, we were expecting you? Hope you can make the next one.

Good luck Birdy, look forward to the reports.

Iain.

Yeh...good luck Birdy and good luck to one and all in this coming year!

Many interesting people, old and new, and was especially good to see everyone made the effort in spite of the ridiculous cold!

A little hard to focus on more than one person at a time but that was due to the popularity of the pub rather than anything else.

Anyway, glad I went and I look forward to seeing you all again at the next one!

Go well.

Brighton
 

reat night out, worth the drive across from Bournemouth, got home at 2.30 this morning. Good bunch turn out on what was a very cold night, top marks to the few who came on bikes.

Met some new HUB members and look forward to the next one, A few of use are going to try and rund the same mini meets in the Bournemouth area starting in March, same format Friday night at a good pub.

Good luck Birdy on you trip.

Regards Colin
Bournemouth

Thanks everyone...
 

Just to say thanks for welcoming me into the Hubbers in such a friendly way and I am looking forward to the next one and now back at work thinking of distant places!
Thanks
Matt:thumbup1:

Louder?
 

To whoever I was speaking and then dried up. Sorry. I have now almost lost my voice from straining over the noise. I really dislike noisy environments, Sorry. Linzi.
