    I am not sure what time i will get down but thought it might be worth having a thread where people can post up where and when they are getting there.

    I fancy pancakes so aim to head for the Pelican Diner, opposite amusement park on the seafront, for about 10 - 10.30. Then will probably head cross country to Wessons later on in the day. Depending on who else is coming, we could always arrange a meet time somewhere like Battle for the afternoon ride to Wessons. Trying to get everyone together in Hastings, for a rideout, is impossible! Will post up what I will wear - silly hat maybe? if any newbies who want to join me at the diner.
    It may all change by the morning lol. :D

    Hi Chaps.....sorry we never caught up but bloody hell fire what a day, first time to Hastings via Rye and it won’t be the last.
    Great atmosphere and friendly bikers from all walks of life…….
    Lammy, I didn’t get your last message until I arrived back home, not too worry I am sure we will meet up at some point?
    Alec, sorry mate I tried to keep an eye out for your bike (as pictured) to no avail…..
    Cheers

    Hey Gary, glad you had a great time and are home safe :D. May Day is always a really tricky one to try and organise but definitely worth a visit if haven't done it before - especially with weather like today's. We were in town from 11 - 1pm and then went for a blat out to Wessons via the more obscure country lanes. All good fun

    plenty of bikes and great weather but I didn't enjoy it as much as in the past. Now it has become for profit the bike parking has gone to shit and no one is around to assist, it's a shame as it used to be a really great event.

    I doubt I even got to see 20% of the bikes down there :thumbsdown:

    but luckily the weather was good and a little ride out afterwards still made it a great day :D

    Thanks Tom for a great route back to Wessons, not that I'll ever find that route again, but I may have fun trying next time I'm in the area

    Was great to briefly see Leila and Tom. Was superb weather and very busy. A "maybe" minor complaint but as we entered the car park the hi viz'd up car park wombles handed us our 3" square ply stand puck!! So how the f@@k am I supposed to either use a clutch or throttle/brake and maintain control of a 900cc bike with that in one of my mitts - idiots :mad:. Last year they were all layed out ready to be used in the car parks. Wish I had taken the TZR250 as it seems to be more fun on the mayday run. Next year the TZR will be razzed all the way.

    Good to see you and the crew too. Would have chatted more but there were just too many people and I was feeling a bit squished! Lol
