BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

On the subject of kitchen utensils, pot and black kettle come to mind too, not to mention the Devil. :shock: I've got feelings you know :cry: The RT meet is all inclusive, GS's attend and Markus used to have a Triumph, therefore, I'm sure Suzi would be welcome too. Yes, but what about Suzi $h1t sti...

I would "consider" a circular Peak District ride on the 25th starting and finishing at the NCMM. My reluctance is that the NCMM is 1 hr 20 min away from home and I'd likely be riding on my own. A longer ride starting and finishing at Castleton/Grindleford would not be an option for me. Ho...

Put your brown spoon away and give us a clue into what you'd like to do

Apologies to all concerned if it looked like a hijack. to me, just a healthy exchange of views and suggestions.

Fair enough. Might still have a ride up if one of my bike buddies is available.

Carrying over from the 'Central' thread. 25th June appears to be the date. Broadly speaking, if we get a consensus for the 25th, then the ride indicated in the previous thread is the option, due to the time constraints. If there are two separate rides, then we have options. All suggestions welcome. ...

I'll start a separate thread for a Peak District ride on the 25th.

Understand everyone's situation. Is there any chance of bringing everything together on the 25th or is it looking like two separate events;

Appreciate your efforts at inclusivity.......but.. I get this route to be 108 miles @ 3 hrs 15 mins saddle time. I suspect that may be ambitious for that route on a Peak District weekend (unless it's raining). Breaks down into 1st session of approx. 50 miles and 1.5 hrs and 2nd session of approx. 58...

It's over 100 miles and 2 hours riding for me to get to Grindleford. Too far for me to get to the start of a ride out. That wasn't part of the original plan and no one suggested that you should meet at Grindleford. I think we could find our own way from Grindleford to the NCMM if we really had to. ...

The idea is to have a ride in central location for all NM's who have expressed an interest in meeting up. With an option to have a circular ride out starting & finishing at the NCMM. If anyone would like to offer alternative NM's meets/ride outs, starting new threads may avoid any confusion. If...

https://i.ibb.co/j8bnk8m/RT-Markus.jpg Really! Well that's me well and truly stuffed. :cry: No need for your poll. I retract my offer, incidentally made in good faith, but met with the usual intransigence. A discussion of relative merits or otherwise may have been useful but I should have known bet...

1) A ride in lunchtime meet up at the NCMM - David.

2) A ride out around the Peak District from Grindleford/Castleton - Chris (k9doc).

3) A ride around the Lincolnshire Wolds - Chris (k9doc).

How much weight does a 'choice' carry in the big scheme?
