Great day @ JHP ducati cov
 

well what a great day @ jhp today ! went there early 2 see how my engine was getting on in the Hands of the MASTER !!!
and the news was good .
Then met Glyn, Timetrial, Cheif, captain Chaos, and had a rattle !! mark 853 popped in (sorry i missed the free coffee ) :lol: but anyhow it got me thinking !!!!!
There aint much happening in the midlands for the duke boys/gals, so Its time we sorted somthing out !!

so here,s the deal .

next door to JHP is a pub with a beer garden :lol::lol::lol: and the pub does food :lol::lol: and Beer !!!
next door to the pub is a Ducati shop that does servicing, Bloody awsome trick bits :D so who,s up for a new MDM midlands ducati meet please post if your interested and we'll take it from there!! regards MADMAV Ps THIS IS NOT A SEPERATE ISSUE TO THE DSC JUST AN IDEA FOR THE MIDS TO GET TOGETHER !!!! :cool:

Mav, I was there today dropping off my 748 for servicing this week. I came up from Swindon for it, as everyone rates JHP highly.

Got to say, what a place! Well impressive - was expecting to be ejected from the shop for being too scruffy!!! :D

Just caught a glimpse of Matt Llewellyn leaving as I turned up.

I'll be back there first thing next Saturday to collect the bike. Also, will be meeting a mate up there who's having his S4 ecu tweaked in the morning.

Cheers!

yeah jacko i did see ya drop ya bike off !! i was the goodlooking one !! :lol::lol: (not) anyway hope you found your JHP EXPERIENCE interesting ! regards mav:cool:

JHP Ducati Coventry....
 

.....That's strange! I was there today but can't say that I remember talking with you Mad!?........did spend some time chatting with John's new YTS lad dressed up like a kwik fit fitter in a bright red Ducati boiler suit!!!!!!!

Great idea (but then I did suggest it a couple of months ago on here!!!) one question though Mad? Where are we going to draw the 'MIDLAND' southern boundary line in the sand ? Coventry!!??

CC

doh, nearly bloody went up there!! cut grass and power washed the poxy patio instead...arnt i the party pooper!

id go to a Midlands bash..if i aint too far sarf in Northampton?

captain my missus is pi**ing her self ! just you wait ! you will have people thinking i'm on the jhp (payrole) :lol: and andy b the northampton was made by midland defectors! as the way milton keyns was made by southern defectors:lol: u would be most welcome mate!:roll: ... mav

nice to meet every one today
cheers for sorting us out with the guided tour mav, thats one busy looking workshop

with regards to a meet in cov id be up for popping over to the odd meet , but as i already get out a lot with the bhc boys i dought id get a pass for a regular jaunt over(i've been told off today for being so long) all the best with it. you never know i might be able to drag a few of the lads over for a ride one w/e.

Mav,

If there's enough of a demand for an official DSC region based in Coventry, why don't you or another member simply consider being a Regional Organiser.

I'm sure that John and the lads would be happy to supply free coffee etc., if you wanted to use them (or the pub next door) as a base camp.

Let me know if you can fit it in and I'll organise for full DSC support via this site, Pronto, mail outs etc. I'm sure that JHP/Duc Cov would point any new customers in your direction as well :-)

sounds good david ! the idea was to get some duke boys/gals to meet up first !

then look at the posability of a region if there is a big enough demand.

but i will catch up with u at some point for a chat about it .

stay safe david !!! regards mav

Go on Keith ...
 

... you know you want to !!!! :frog:

I'd be up for a midlands meet

Yep ill meet up for a chat but we need to get numbers of members who are up for it, and what partisipation they wish take in the midlands group?

Midland Ducati Meet
 

How cool would that be , meet all the chaps at JHP then spend lots of money !
I guess you could twist my arm

Ferrari

u got loads pete !
 

its only money pete !

but if your'e short just mail me :lol::lol::lol::lol: think i've got a £10er left :D

Mav...go for it mate. I had a similar feeling back in 2001. I contacted David Cook and started up the Herts/Beds Region that Fordie now runs so well and has extended out. I thought there was one man and a dog in the area, turns out there are loads. Now some of my best biking buddies are within 50 miles and there is a thriving community.

JHP will be a great place to meet. I suspect if you put up a first meeting, Fordie will bring the boys from just south of you and other groups will make it a run over to meet up.

Go for it....put a date on the site and ask David for help in mailing out to all members, (not everyone is on the website)

Good luck

I'd be up for it,maybe we have a chat about it on our way down WDW i thought i would mention that to make people jealous:devil:

Let me know if you get a new region up and running and I'll make sure you get one of our ultra-exclusive, elder-only edition Regional Organiser t-shirts :D

MIDLAND DUCATI TYPES

Mav, Chaos and I chatted a lot on Saturday about a midlands Region. Mav put a posting up here to guage response to the idea, and everyone wants him to organize something solid. How about a few dry runs first to see if it takes off, do it kinda casual. No official notice need be taken, just express your interest in this thread and we'll put a topic up with a date and see if many turn up for a bit of a ride out. Meeting at JHP would show support for both Ducati and John and the boys. But please remember Mav is a busy man who goes out of his way to help and get involved. A couple of low key things could be the way to go. A wise man once said "Slowly, slowly catchie monkey!" :o
