s04pb0x6 Have to agree we've done three at Thetford, wouldn't go again. Would love to meet everybody again but at another venue. We'd certainly be up for Holland or a tail ender. Would be nice if where ever it was has decent facilities. :dunno:
As for smart cars you've got to be having a laugh :tosser: hope something can be sorted out k1ap

I AGREE
I have made some very good friends at the bashes and would like to see the (Blackbird Bash) continue, albeit at a diferent location
Ok, you only have to look at how many people are showing an intrest in the bash, nearly cancelled due to lack of intrest, making the numbers up with (smart car owners) :dunno: not the way to go i think, i have been to three bashes at Thetford, had a great time, a lot of effort put in by many people, but if some one else is willing to take it on then go for it.Rolfy Dave said:

Hi all good people, w;;v w4lc0m3
Please stop arguing (disscussing)b0x1 and being elitist (exclusive). You all ride the fastest 0 to 60 prduction road bike in the world (2.78 seconds). Personally I'd jump at the chance to impress car drivers with this sort of info. It would also be an ideal oportunity to increase awareness of motorbikes on the road. And that bikers are human and friendly.g0551p Another thought what easy pickings for converts to the BB and visa versa (I do hear that some bike owners also use cars?
What better way to follow the legendary ped race than with a smart race if there up for it.
I have not had the chance to go to a bash yet and if a date is not sorted soon I still wont get to go:violin: . The last bash I went to was the Kent custom show in 1989 or 1990. It is very difficult for me to get time off on aparticular day as I work in a small unit and only 2 people allowed off at one time so I need to book early.
As for the bash getting staid what you need is new members comming along so instead of replacing/changing the existing bashes why not have extra ones it would give a lot more people a chance to come along at one time or anothersmilie_koc
Does anyone do regular track days as I would like to do some. I am not fast but that is the only way to get quicker.
Sorry if I ranted a bit there but I am a lone BB rider the only run ive been on was a fireblade one!

Nicely put Paddy, this year was my first Thetford bash & I really enjoyed it, as you say there are new members joining all the time who have not experienced it yet so to them it is still new, personally I am looking forward to next year & meeting yet more people.
Let's not forget all the hard work put in by Jaws/Mo etc to organise this event, I organise a works Christmas do every year for approx 20 people & finding venues at the right price & getting the money from people is not easy so I can appreciate the time & effort put in, as has already been said the end of season bash is for different venues, so for my money I say stick with the current formula.

I don't give a toss where it is personally, as long as the same great humour runs free and we all get along as we did this year AGAIN then i'm happy.
I don't even own a BIRD yet i was made to feel welcome arriving in my car.
I can't be doing with pomp and snobbery, the BIRD club has very little of this with its members now....... i like it.
The most down to earth, law abiding group of mis-fits i've had the pleasure of.

LOL... Had a look at that MX5 thread....
Took mine to a wife swap, and couldnt even get a cheap socket set for her...(Dont you dare tell her I said thatfl4g71)
Yes, we are looking to get an MX5... I know its not the quickest of little cars, but who gives a shite anyway... Gorra blackbird for that...Anyway, I spend most of my life at 56 mph, so an MX5 is quite quick compared to that..LOL
Just want one for nice little jollies into 't country with a picanic basket when the sun is out...
Best to ya John & Dawn

Thetford is to close for me,
Look if Jaws has prebooked for next year... perhaps some of you moaners can lend him a hand,
someone to organise a ride out.
someone to organise a wify thing (if they dont want to go on the ride out)
someone to organise pass the buck ... sorry parcel.
someone to organise the weather
someone to erect my tent
someone to scratch my back
see you are getting the jist of it now... many hands make light work.

Sorry but where do you get that info from J.?
I've been to every VFR agro, and this year was the first year it's been in Norwich :dunno: :dunno:
The thinking is not to have the event in the same area, but move it around the country, so that different people can have easier access to the event, as well as different runs and leaders each time.
Revolutionary thinking isn't it?
Sorry if I was wrong... seems that every time me and Wiz get together we talk about Norwich !
No doubt you know all about the Bird Bash as well R M.. thats why you are able to take the piss .. Yes ??
And no doubt you think that is revolutionary thinking too.. LOL !!

Check out the S2000 as well Rolfy if looking for something like that.... different class mate!Rolfy Dave said:
Unfortunately a different class of price as well:cry:R2B2 said:
We are only lookin to pay about ?3.5k, so that puts the S2000 out of the frame...Got our eyes on a nice little Monaco MX5 in Southampton at the moment... Just under ?3k and in superb condition...
Thanks anyway Rob...Glad to see you had a nice time at Sheepfest...Would have loved to go, but my left wrist just wouldnt have coped with the riding..
Best wishes,

SUMMER BASH 2007
Ok talked it over with my woman and would like some input
we moved to france this year with the idea of opening a campsite and b&b
we won't be open fully till next summer and would like to put forward
a bash over here but not to compete with jaws c7u8
we were thinking to ask you lot
a) what you want at a bash
b) how long to run for
c) when ?
d) and anything else
we are a good 6 hours away from the ports in the limousin region
and when we do open we will be a biker stop anyway
so what do you think
alex and lynne
