ducati sportingclub members in derbyshire
 

hi all.
are there any members who live near or around the derbyshire area, i noticed a few went to the powersports open day at clay cross.. the reason being i always see other ducati riders around derbyshire. but never seem to be a member of ducati owners clubs. be good to all meet up when the weather pics up again....go out riding with people with good taste in bikes and not the usual crew with there jap shite, me being the only ducati rider with them, to be tormented and called tractor boy all the time. funny but.......annoying

Hi Mate

Depending where you are in Derby's there are 2 or 3 monthly meets to chose from. There is us lot (the NW region - we meet in Congleton once a month) or the Notts mobb and there is a Midland branch startimg I think. There is a list of regional contacts in here -

Hi there
Probably the most local DSC meet is the Notts group, meeting second Tuesday of every month at the Unicorn at Gunthorpe near Nottingham. Rushjob is the regional organiser so you could U2U him, or drop in at Cornerspeed in Kirkby In Ashfield on a Saturday, thats the other regular meeting place. Oh yeah there's a christmas do in Nottingham on Fri 1 Dec too which unfortunately I can't make :(

Hi,

I'm in Derby (999) and occassionally get along to the Notts meet but haven't yet managed to get to the Congleton meet.

PM me and we can exchange contact details.

derbyshire? what part?

Yep, another member of the Notts lot!

I get into Derbyshire whenever I can as the roads are amazing when clear.....

Give us a shout when the weather gets better nxt yr, there usually a group of us and I've yet to get over with Rob...

Andy

I live in Derby. Chief RB lives around here to but don,t no of any more. See about 4 other Dukes out and about local to me but have no idea who own them.
Live in Darley Abbey/Allestree area .Where are you

I'm from the middle of the Derbyshire Peak District (and still have a pile of stone there ) but live in Switzerland. I come over on the Duke to get it serviced etc (useless lot the Swiss in that department) so U2U me contact details and next time I'm in Blighty (spring '07)we could me up.

Hi,

Was living near Ripley until recently. Still only 30 mins from Ripley and only 45 mins from Matlock :D

I went up to the clay cross ducati open day, red 749R and I wear a black simpson. Spoke to a few people, not sure if you were one of them.

More than happy to meet up when the weather is warm and a little dryer.

Hi mate, as Griff says, I live in derby too - Alvaston. Seen a few dukes around and know one or two, met up with the notts lads once or twice and at powersports open day. Is yours a yellow 749 i saw on raynesway a couple of months back?

Be happy to meet up
Cheers

Ant

Pretty much anywhere with good tarmac and a pub at the end will do me. I have a few favorite routes round North Derbys/Staffs and i have a soft spot for the Cat & Fiddle

Yes i am getting another bike, hoping to get an off roader shortly and maybe a 749 bit later on. Missing my favourite road allready from Chatsworth to Ladybower reservoir. and on to Glossop......

Hi All,

New to club and forum and only six months with my first Duke (TB rep 748) so only a baby! But been blattin round Derb for years now. Live in Tiby very near the Micron factory (can hear the 1098 on the dyno). Would be up for meeting others in our great area. So count me in for any rides or drinks.

Si

Hi Si
Welcome to the board. Its usual to get the drinks in so as its new year and everyone else is detoxing I'll have half a JD in a pint glass with a large coke :D
I'm in Mansfield and quite a few of the Notts mob are around here too. Rushjob (regional organiser) is in Worksop. I reckon we should hook up with the Derbyshire mob in spring.
If you're at loose end any Sat call in at Cornerspeed for a coffee, its always full of other DSC members on Saturdays. (http://www.cornerspeed.co.uk/ for directions)

oh its your 4th post missed that! Still any excuse for a free drink :D

Hello Si, welcome to the forum mate, some of us are getting together in the spring for a hoon around (and maybe meet up with Notts lads?) be good to meet up and say hi! I'll have a very cold Hoegarden while your at the bar

Cheers!

Ant

Cheers guys and I've always got chilled Hoegarden served in iced glasses the way it should be so feel free to pop in anytime. May even find some JD but no soft drinks.

I was in Nellys place last Saturday and will probably call this saturday to drop my wheels in for coating. He's a good guy and its people like him that have turned me from hating the Duke when I first got it to being obsessed by it now. Does anyone know the owner of the 749 who lives at the Hardwick Inn?

Si

Forgot to ask, any of you off to Guadix? I booked two seats on the plane and now the Mrs can't go so I've a spare for anyone wanting to go with on 22nd to 24th.

Im in DERBY (newbie)

Welcome D4VE,

See you've got the spending bug already and now that you've met Nelly you will have a place spend more money in the future. Next time your out Mansfield way feel free to look me up in Tibshelf and hope we can all hook up in summer for a loon around.

Si

We can see where the money is.................North of the Thames!

Lot of good walking around Monsall Head as well. I usually come up 3-4 times a year with my lady-usually a couple of time on the bike-Yellow and black ST4S.

John

By ek lad ! Thames, where's 'T' that then? Eky Thump.

:frog:

I prefer Yorkshire than Derbyshire. Yorkshire is so upmarket and afluent compared to Derbyshire...................IMHO!

I went to Buxton once but it was closed.

Would that be 'The Republic of South Yorkshire' or Numpty, sorry North Yorkshire ?

Its actually "One prefers going to Yorkshire rather than Derbyshire" If one has propper breading of course !

Off to The Republic in a Mo, must remember to get my passport stamped. Sorry Ones passport stamped. :ninja:
