Herts/Beds/Bucks Area or near
 

Hi all, I have not long finished restoring a beautiful 996s and am looking to come out to a meet in the local area. I have previously raced at club level and a few BSB meetings and also have an SV1000 I do 2 up work with. I see there is a meet in the Oxon/Berks area regularly and an Essex meet. Does anything happen more centrally in the northern home counties? No problem if not, just wondering how this scene is run in my area. Peter

Hi Peter,

I used to ride with the Beds, Herts, Cambs, Northants group of the DSC and before that the North Bucks Ducati Club. I am based in east Northants and ride a 998S amongst other m/cycles.
The BHCN group has pretty much expired but I am keen to rekindle the Ducati spirit in this area so if you would like to meet up for ride and a chat please let me know.

If you guys wants to get together, pick a well-known local place, maybe even an existing bike meet, and post up the details as there are bound to be a few more (shy!) people that want to come along.
You can post the details up and we can update the list of meetings and hopefully we can rekindle the meetings!
If you need help we can send you some DSC cards that you can hand out to people as reminders... just let me know if you want some.

Looking for meets in Herts/Bucks areas
 

Hi Guys,

Im based around the Welwyn/St Albans area and looking to meet up locally with some Ducatisti. I used to help run the bucks area meet way back in DSC's infancy with mate who now doesnt ride. Im lucky enough to own a Ducati superbike and a hyperstrada for 2up duty with the mrs.

Be good to meet up and press the flesh as there arent seemingly any meets in the Herts/Bucks/Middx areas.

Hope to see you out soon.

Tim

Hi all, due to the mrs moving in and selling her house then selling mine and working in London, I don't sadly have the time just at the minute to organise anything, but, I am happy to come along to something if I'm free. Clearly there are a few people in the area who are between oxon and Essex.........

say when?
 

it would be nice to see some of you lot out as I'm always about on my red thing...

Is there a call for a BHCN regular meet again?

We used to meet over at either Grafham Water (for the more northern part of the area) or The Chester Arms at Chicheley (nr Bedford)

Who would be interested in re-starting a regular meet?

Rob - I know we talked about this over the winter - anyone else? Something like pick one Sunday a month - 3rd Sunday perhaps??

We also used to a regular evening meet during the summer months as well - also from the Chester Arms...

I'm interested!
Not that I know where any of those places are?
And evening meets sound like a good idea...

You can count me in, just for the summer though lol

hi all I have a 916 plus other bikes mv brutal and I used to go to the chicley arms near Newport Milton Keynes a few years ago would be interested in popping over there or some where else if not working pod

Just finished restoring a 916 myself and live in Milton Keynes.
First Friday of every month Jacks cafe (just outside Towster on the A5) have a bike night from 6pm. Always a good turn out, havent seen too many Ducati's but will be at least one 916 outside this Friday.

Greg

Hi im interested in meeting up for rideouts and chats just let me no when i live in watford and can meet you guys cheers neil
Also may be we could get a regular meet going as there seems to be quite a few of us that live in this area and we could put our heads together i'm sure with the clubs help at getting this going.

Jacks Cafe this Friday (first Friday every month) From 6pm i think.

I did see a couple of 748's last month.

Will be down on the 916 if anyone wants to say Hello.

Sounds like you've just restarted the monthly meeting :)

I'll add this to the calendar so people can "subscribe" to the event and get reminder emails before the date.

Yeh i suppose i had! wasnt planning to but its a start. :D

Maybe we need to get you signed up as a Regional Organiser then ... can we tempt you with a free "Official Team" t-shirt and other goodies? ;)

hi seen your post about meeting at jacks will be there at the next meet cheers Neil

Good man i will see you then.

I may even nimble over on my Monster-or possibly my 450RT-it's certainly time I started doing a bit of riding-hardly been out the last couple of years.

John

Could be a plan, I pass the place on a regular basis while out and about in the works van and was up that way on the Monster the other week when doing a 3 day course in Towcester. Been a while since I've stopped in there, not been since the old BHCN regional group split up.

It not a bad place to meet and the food is ok. On the first Friday evening of the month they have a band and the car park is normally pritty full. And if it get too much you have the super sausage down the road.

Billing Bike feast this weekend in Northampton, May give it a look on Sunday if the weather holds!?

Herts meets
 

Don't forget guys and gals meet at Jacks Hill cafe next Friday to get this side of the club up and going again then we can all decide a more regular meet place see you there.

I will be the one on the Ducati:) and i will put on my 916 t shirt as well just so you can make sure you avoid me :p

Panigale
 

Hi just got the panigale s and looking to put the termi's on it any views on full system or just end cans anyone using either.

Keep the Termi's and replace the rest with a 916, it will then look stunning :D

Herts meets
 

What happened to everyone tonight at jacks hill cafe no one turned up got there at 6pm left 8.45 my mate was on his mike hailwood rep met another guy on a red pani not in dsc and no one else unless you where all riding choppers LOL :) :) :)

Ah I did see the Hailwood rep and a black ducati and the red one but I guess you didnt see the red 916. The car park is not that big! But must admit didnt stay that long a I hadnt seen my daughter all week and needed dinner.

i walked about looking for a 916 where did you park it behind a lorry LOL there was 3 of us paul was in his all in one ducati leathers and i was wearing black and white dainese leathers shame we missed each other we could of had a chat going to brands next wednesday if you fancy it.

For the next one on the 5th I will definitely try to pass by as I've just bought a new toy, I have upgraded from a 848 to a 1199 Panigale :-)
It would be nice to meet up with some other Ducati lovers as it's looking like there is not a lot of us these days, I will probably make my way to the ace cafe after if it doesn't get that late?

See you on the 5th weather permitting.
Greg

Good work guys - spread the DSC love if you get the chance!

I have some DSC "calling cards" that we give out if you guys want some. You can leave them on bikes or give them out to people at meets.

Just PM me your details and I can send you a stack along with some stickers.

As I have started to realise the privileges of being a Ducati member (Brands Hatch hospitality tickets) hint hint, that is no problem Antonye, ;-)

Today is a nice day
 

It's a nice day to find out where this cafe is?
it doesn't look like wet mode will be needed so I hope I will see some of you there?

I will take my yellow 748

cool, I'm sure you will stand out...
see you there.

beds meet
 

does any one from Bedfordshire meet any where these days

where do you go? i go to the ace cafe but the M1 is a boring the ride?

You can take the back way to the Ace a little better.
The super sausage and jacks café on the A5 are good places to meet of a Sunday am.
On your bike in Aylesbury the a good burger/coffee van.
Or the Cotswolds are a stones throw away.

Thanks for that, I will take note and try them, i got my bike from On your bike! so i no my way there...

sadly a little cold for me this time of year but have just sevised the 916 and doing the st at the moment so as soon as it gets a little warmer i will be out and about i go up super sausage and jacks hill on sundays

meet up
 

Hi all the weather is getting better so its time to get your bikes out .I been riding this year for a couple of months ,so if any one in the bucks Milton Keynes Bedford Luton area whats to meet may be once a month it would be super to see any one .
