St Salisbury day

[Raptorman]

Its the 4th may i am suggesting 9.30 at tidworth easy to get too and petrol station near by, lots of parking and easy to fine right off the main road

any thoughts or excuses

[RED PRED]

At the moment its looking good for me Malcolm .

[outlander]

Almost certain I can do this one. Sounds good to me.

[secret solo]

this date will fall into place with the lot who we met up butser malc so will try to see what time and where they are planning as i think they will do ox-drove and old shaftsbury drove. Cant beat a bit of local knowledge ;)

[secret solo]

Xmas, great, you know how much i love Xmas - NOT :(:D

See raptorman, you try to organise a ride and you always get the complainer , theres just no pleasing everyone :)

[RED PRED]

My severe and extreme hatred for all things yuletide have nothing to do with quadding, Raptorman, i do appreciate your efforts in organising this ride and look forward to seeing all you wonderful chaps again - except you secret :fencing::D;)

[secret solo]

lmao,, kisses to you too :hug:

[RED PRED]

Only joking, i look forward to it, where will we get a bacon butty lol .

I suggest us lot from Basingstoke meet at Morrisons at 08.30 on sunday morning, I am going to fill up with fuel saturday night to avoid the panic buying queues, who is joining Sean and myself . .

[upperdeane]

I havn't been on-line for a while .....is this still on Sunday 4th May ? If so, count me in.

[Nogbad]

I'm not sure that my QZ250 is up to that much work in one day, so I'll give it a miss - have a great day, chaps.

[outlander]

I'm still comming. Will be at Morrisons Sun morning.
Are you sure Nogbad, the routes around Salsbury Plain are not hard, just it will take us an hour or so to get to them. I'm sure your QZ will be OK but wether your bottom can take it only you know that.

[butch2485]

I'm not sure that my QZ250 is up to that much work in one day, so I'll give it a miss - have a great day, chaps.

your qz will make COME ON BE BRAVE

[RED PRED]

Nogbad, i am sure that if Seans bollocks can handle the ride then your QZ will be fine lol .
We will cruise down there and back at a speed that suits you .

[Nogbad]

OK you talked me into it. But I won't be going much faster than 50 mph as otherwise the poor thing is screaming. I don't mind making my wife scream but not my quad.........

[secret solo]

was just about to chastise you for using "only a 250" as an excuse but no need now. them qz engines are good for 10000km with being thrashed ;)

[RED PRED]

I have got a tow rope Nogbad, i could tow you to Tidworth then your engine will get a rest lol, thats a good idea with the price of petrol now, split the petrol bill lol .

[secret solo]

wanna tow me too?? cant persuade my quad to run on lidl,s vegetable oil, only my car will,. Must be cos its german...lol

[RED PRED]

So let me see, i go to pick nogbad up from burghfield then down to gosport then up to tidworth :eek:, i would say that i dont come out that deal very well lol .
So where is this ride taking us secret, have you got a plan in mind ?

[Nogbad]

Alright RP enough of the p i s s taking - I'll upgrade one day to something bigger !! If Trevor can tow me from home to Morrisons, then RP from Morrisons to Tidworth, then anyone else can tow me all the way around, and the same on the way home, it will be a cheap day out for me. Only need buy a sarnie but if some-one buys that for me as well, then the whole day will be FREE.

I should be there at 8.30am (Morrisons) - see you all then

[secret solo]

why you asking me??? Its raptorman that put this one together, im just along for the ride...... I suggested joining up with another group and doing old shaftsbury drove and ox-drove (which apparently has a cafe at the end?) but got informed its a ride on the plain itself so am just along to ride ;)

[RED PRED]

Pardon me for asking lol, just thought with your local knowledge you may have assisted the route or whatever, just as long as we annoy the MOD then great, we will probably get Prince William chase us away in a Chinook lol .
The cafe bit--COOL :D

[upperdeane]

Can somebody confirm ....is it a 8:30am meet at Morissons this coming Sunday ?

[secret solo]

Pardon me for asking lol, just thought with your local knowledge you may have assisted the route or whatever, just as long as we annoy the MOD then great, we will probably get Prince William chase us away in a Chinook lol .
The cafe bit--COOL :D


you cant really use a gps on salisbury plain as every 100yds or so is yet another crossroads then another and so on---- you just ride in a general direction and make it up as you go along. Once you decide its time to head back, thats when you use gps to find out where the hell you are...lol

Easy to annoy mod, just go off-route and go faster than the 30mph speed limit.

[RED PRED]

Just to confirm, the Basingstoke bunch to leave Morrisons at 08.30 sunday morning .

[steve millennium]

Can't make this one guys,have a good'en!!

[upperdeane]

Just to confirm, the Basingstoke bunch to leave Morrisons at 08.30 sunday morning .

See you Sunday morning .....

[Raptorman]

Could we still aim for that point i just put tidworth because it is easy to get to
I am open to all
Solo are you still meeting with up with steve hedge end ? and his crew
We may be loading quads onto vans will know later today i will ring you later

[RED PRED]

[Raptorman]

we have arranged to get to Tidworth for 9.30am Malcolm .

Dont panic Mr Manning will be there at 9.30 ;) its just solo messing things up lol

[secret solo]

thats it, blame me for messing up what i have not aranged :(
Steve and co have not contacted me but are doing old shaftbury and ox- drove so we aint got the same ride planned anyway....
Be there at 9.30 :scared: thats when i normally get up..... Omfg, am going to have to get up soooo fookin early :( lol

[RED PRED]

Is it worth going to bed at all secret lol .

[secret solo]

Is it worth going to bed at all secret lol .


Well that all depends on who i can get to come with me ;)

[RED PRED]

Looks like another lonely night then LOL .

[RED PRED]

Just one question, why is it called st.salisbury day ?, if its obvious or i have missed something then you have permission call me the stupidest twat in Hampshire LOL

[secret solo]

hey mr stupidest twat in hampshire ;) i think cos it was posted on st georges day?? (he he)

good ride, nothing planned, just made up as we went along. As usual we had the obligatory rain but didnt last too long, still got pretty wet though.

Here is what all you puddle avoiding pussys missed, congrats to lee for attempting it, and myself of course. sorry no mention for the 4x4 brigade as a puddle like that is just a walk in the park for them ;)

cant believe how youtube has trashed the quality of the vid,, grrr.

Look on my page as the other two vids shot today are also on there. http://www.youtube.com/user/rappey

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aONVW1z5XXo

[RED PRED]

LMAO, i should have twigged lol .
I think the guys only went in the field (then i followed) to avoid that puddle because they saw the fun you were having in it .
It was a good day, thanks to Malc for arranging it and the rest of you guys for turning up, thanks to Malc for the go on your quad, it was good for some of the guys to ride other quads and i think its fair to say the Outlander gets max respect :) by all who rode it .
Lets not leave it so long to meet up again, say June time for a Meon Valley run .

[secret solo]

forgot to ad a pic of the day...

[RED PRED]

I am just downloading mine now for Danny to see if he wants any for home page photo section .

[outlander]

Thanks for a great ride today guys. Nice to meet you all eventually.
Who's that softy in the video with his feet in the air!:D

[Nogbad]

Thanks for a great day out - am now absoultely knackered. My thumb will not be up for 5 agianst 1 for a while !!!

Had a look at some of the video I took and will be putting it on CD Rom as DivX files so you should be able to see. We can circulate the CDs.

Great to meet the Protsmouth crew.

[RED PRED]

I dont know,all you gadget men, its all clever stuff innit :)

[upperdeane]

Yep ...a great day out..... and no accidents or injuries :)

[RED PRED]

Thats always a good result Gary, i noticed Sean was not doing donuts ;) and i stayed on my quad .

[RED PRED]

It was great to be in the pack today so i could see the lines others were taking through puddles and ruts, soooo much easier than being the front guy, apart from all the dust being kicked up on the plain reducing visibility to about 10 yards lol, i think that is why i always end up in front so they can learn from my mistakes ;):D

[Raptorman]

It was good to get 10 quads out see if we can make it more next time everyone seem to have a good time no breakdowns no incidents (sean)
A little amout of rain almost heaven videos look good look forward to the next 'inter area meet' St Meon day ;)

[RED PRED]

Ditto that Malcolm, by which time Pompey should have won the FA Cup :) and Reading gone down :sorry::frusty::mad: .
I reckon at least 12 quads next time, Yellow Peril usually comes and we might get the elusive admin (Danny i think his name is LOL) and the mighty Warriorrider, and we may even get a few of the fair weather brigade as long as there is no imminent threat of a few spots of rain during a two week period either side of the proposed ride date LOL .
There are some we have not met yet, Wild One and Phil the Blue Raptor rider in Winklebury who has not joined the site yet but I am confident will .
Good times ahead guys but we need to keep the momentum going and not slacken off with the organising .
The only disappointment yesterday was the lack of a bacon butty establishment-tut tut !

Bring on the Meon Valley

great ride malcolm

[warriorrider]

Looks like you all had a good ride out wish i could of been there but stuck at home with very sore ribs due to an accident at work.:hurt:

[RED PRED]

we needed you there Nige, i felt like i was in a sea of blue and white quads LOL .

[Nogbad]

Maybe, but by the end of the day they were all brown !!

[RED PRED]

what your trousers !! , i dont know why but i always seem to get muddier than everyone else, perhaps because i was going through more puddles and not around them all (that deep bugger excluded lol) .

[yellow peril]

Sorry that i couldnt make it guys but i was oncall for work and i had to go out anyway on the sunday morning to do a job for work, hopefully next time, the yellow peril will be there :fencing:

[RED PRED]

you would have loved the deep puddles dave lol

[upperdeane]

For those of you with Memory Map, i've attached the route we did ......

[RED PRED]

Thanks Gary
