Well as you all know Bonnie asked me to marry her this year and I said yes. So we have decided that we would like all of your company, so we decided to coincide it with our 5th meeting in the Yorkshire Dales. The ride out will be to the Tan Hill Inn on the Saturday leaving around lunch time, where Bonnie and I will of arranged the ceremony. We would like all of you who turn up to be our witnesses. As you will of gathered this is no “WHITE WEDDING”, it’s a “BIKERS WEDDING”, all you need to wear is leathers. ( Better make that waterproofs) Date to be fixed as we sort everything out. I have a few names so far: NICK Paul & Jahel Oldgimmer & Heather Mal Biker Benny + 1 Kevr + Alex |

Quick Bump, Ray, had a run up last weekend, I think we were right about going up that way. ![]() The other way through Kirby Stephen will be much more straight forward and a bit quicker as well. Not likely to lose as many folk. Talking about getting lost is Stretchermonkey coming?

Quote: Bonnie and I had run through the other week, but I could not remember where the road to the Tan Hill came from... We ended up having a cuppa in Hawes and then came home.
|

|
|
|||||||

Probably not going to help you Ray, but Hawes is in Wensleydale and Tan Hill is in Arkengarthdale. When I lived in North Stainley, used to go Masham, stop off at the pub next to the Theakstones Brewery, refuel, up to Leyburn over Redmire Moor to Reeth up the Arkengarthdale Road to Tan Hill, some where near the pub, there used to be a little humpy back on the road, that if you hit it fast enough, could get plenty of air and loads of hang time . The joys of youth. This is a bit of a redundant post, as we'll be coming from the opposite direction
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
I must admit Andy, I was a nipper on the back of my elder brothers bike when I first went up that way.... The Lake District always sticks in my mind Easter 1976 when Thin Lizzy was in the charts with "The boys are back in town" |

Congratulations to you both. That is going to be a weekend to remember. I'm sorry but myself and Keith won't be able to come, this is the only weekend we can't do unfortunately. Rats rats rats; one of them plaques was mine this year!!!!! I have the proverbial phoenix emerging. Have it all set up to be basically complete for end March; bar the K&N's. Have a fantastic weekend we will have a drink for you at home.

It's different; it's gone naked, which is pretty good for a naked bike anyway. It'll be great when finished or a little OTT, but it will certainly be one of a kind. Hope you have the most horrendous hangover and don't forget your lines!!!

I believe that the local pubs are being booked up, so if you are not a camping sort of person, better start ringing round... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
I believe all the beds in the George & Dragon and the Sun Inn have been booked up, so if you are thinking of attending and you do not fancy camping with the rest of us, you need to be looking at B&B's in Dent. I will be posting up in a few weeks the price for camping and the monies towards the plaques for the BEST BIKE, FURTHEST TRAVELLED and BEST CUSTOM If you are new to the site this year will be our 5th year at Dent and you will be made welcome, you will make new friends and also see some strange looking America and Speedmaster bikes. The best of it is they are all parked together and you can ask questions. PM me for details Date: 18th & 19th May 2012 put it in your diary it is not to be missed... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
All things going to plan, I should make it down this year. Be nice to be able to make Dent for a change. See you all down there. |

DENT 2012 ITINERARY We’re in to the New Year and it is that time again where I bug you all for cash The fees for camping and plaques this year are £10.00 per person per night. To include £2.00 per person each night towards the plaques. (You can see a preview of them further up in this thread). We have a ride out planned to the TAN HILL we have been here before on a ride out organised by Chris (oldgimmer), but this time we will be making a more direct root to the highest pub in Great Britain (if you know how to get there feel free to start off on your own). We will be leaving Dent around 12pm, it is around 30 miles but it is all up hill on country roads and hopefully the weather will be kind to us. There is a car park at the side of the Tan Hill, where we will all park up and gather in the pub ( the barn is to your left through the room and in the corner ) Bonnie and I have arranged our Marriage Ceremony for 2pm. We have arranged a photographer whose name is Luke, and he will be making demands of us and probably asking you to take part in our special day. (Luke will be with us all day and evening) After the Ceremony we are heading back down to Dent, where the BBQ will be available if you require it. There is also a buffet on in the George & Dragon later on. You can also order food from the bar as well, please see the menu’s. The plaques will be presented as usual around 9pm in the George & Dragon so if you’ re one of those that eat in the Sun Inn please make sure you arrive in the George around 9pm ish. You might notice a few new faces around and these will probably be either friends or family who have just turned up for our special day. If you are new to the forums and fancy meeting up with friendly people who only meet up a couple of times a year and talk nothing but bikes, put your name below. This is the ideal time to meet up and make new friends and join our big happy family on Bonnevilleamerica.com and Triumph Cruisers forum. We also have a few Thunderbirds (12, I believe) who turned up last year, a few of these used to own America’s and Speedmasters. Up to now I have the names below, but if you wish to put your name down, either post in this thread or just PM me and I will add your name. Ray & Bonnie Paul & Jahel Oldgimmer & Heather Mal Biker Benny + 1 Kevr + Alex? Warlock + John Chophead GJS Linton + Jackie NIBiker + Flo Phil K + Barbara British Steel Babrat + Jools Brindle + 1 Bluenose + Thunderbird crew (12 ish) Glen Bodger Martin + Holly + (little one in tum) |

Just wondering if anyone is passing close to Leamington Spa and wants a pillion? My son would love to attend, but rather hard to get there on a 125, without going on a motorway!!!! ![]() Paul |

Not Passing that way Paul sorry. But would'nt have the room as the kitchen sink is on the pillion seat. atb geoff

I'm still waiting to find out if daughter can make it, if she can't, I'll be happy to take your lad (he's not sharing my tent though )BTW, I was at the Syndi centre in Sydenham today
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Hey Bryn, That's where Rob lives, well a 2 min walk from Sydni Centre, I live about 2 miles from there! Was it a one off or will you be there again. If so you can crash here and we can organise a beer or two (ish) ![]() Paul |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
It was a works training do, attitude adjustment or something ![]() I was kinda miffed when I got there to found out it was an "informal" thing, so I needn't have worn the company uniform or even gone in the van ( instead)I'm on call this week, so no drinky-poos at all ![]() (Although if I get a chance, I might have just the one tomorrow )If I'm sent there again and I'm not on call, I might take you up on that offer!! |

Anyone coming from down South can still meet Chris (Oldgimmer) on the M6 at LANCASTER SERVICES at 12 ish. Usuall meet at Devil's Bridge for everyone else at 1.30 - 2pm, I will be at Devil's Bridge.If you are going to Lancaster Services please post up then Chris will not have a wasted journey You can always make your own way to Dent as I think the majority of people will know how to get there.... Saturdays run out will be around 12 ish to the Tan Hill Inn (The highest public house in the Britain..... See you all Friday afternoon...........
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
I was going to Lancaster Services, but just as happy to meet at Devils Bridge. Although if Chris wants some company, will now be stopping at Caton for Bacon buttie and coffee. So if he can manage to ride from home to coffee shop, without a break, I can meet him there to escort him to Devils Bridge!!!

Hi Ray, Should be OK to find the service station . But from then on lol. Be going up the A14 around 8am Friday morning to join the M6 North at Coventry. Then going up the M6 toll road if anybody is going that way let me Know if you want to join me. Should get to Lancaster's service around 12 then.As Ray wont be there. Will we still go to the Smoking Area to meet up atb geoff
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Geoff have you got a Sat Nav? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
No worries Ray he'll be coming straight past me. Geoff, I can swing by Corley Services (1st services on M6 - just past J3), at about 8:30, so I can meet you there. Sorry for strange time but any later and Coventry comes to a stand still till about 9:30. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Was going to suggest that he makes his way here, then ride up with Bonnie and I after a brew of course!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Would that brew include a bacon buttie
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
If you get here early enough we could sort it.... |

The Link for the 10 day weather forecast for Dent Rain Again Well at the momentatb geoff http://www.weather-forecast.com/locations/Kendal/forecasts/latest |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
So bacon butties is it guys, what time you make it here ?????? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
PM me your landline Geoff |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: From meeting Geoff its about 150 miles, maybe slightly under. So allow 2 1/2 hours, plus at least one stop, so call it 3 hrs from Corley. So about 11:30 at yours, allowing for Geoff travelling light!!!! Of course if just us on the 'tractor' , leaving Corley at 8:30 - should mean we would get to you about 8:15
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
If possible Paul, try and push it for about 11 so it will give us time to meet everybody at Devil's Bridge for 13.00 13.30 ish.... 1 week to go
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Sorry chaps I'm confused ![]() Not difficult I know. Are you still meeting at the services and coming through to Bullbeck and then Devils Bridge or are you going straight to Rays and then up to Devils Bridge. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
You're confised..... HELP!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Well I'm not confused I will meet at Devils Bridge (unless I get confused that is)
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Hopefully no matter what we should be at Devil's Bridge for the very very latest 13.30.... Depends on if Paul and Geoff pull the throttle back a little and if they are coming here first for a brew and bacon buttie....... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
In lou that Geoff already has to leave home at 7a.m., I think realistically it may be a little tight going to Ray's first, it would only take one jam, and it would throw all plans out of the window. So I think it would be best if we stuck to plan A!!! i.e. I meet Geoff at 8:30 at Corley Services, we take a gentle ride up to Caton, grab a coffee there, then meet everyone at Devil's Bridge. Chris how long from Caton to DB? Also to save Chris a ride out, I can swing by Lancaster Services on route and pick anyone up that are there, say 11:30 - 12:00. Chris if you PM your number I can call as we leave the Services and meet you at the Layby/Cafe at Caton. Unless Geoff doesn't mind getting up even earlier and meeting us at 8am, then that would mean we could get to Ray's about 11. Which would mean reverting to Plan 69a!!!!! There I think that makes it as clear as mud.
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: Clear as the proverbial. Don't know why but plan 69 seems by far the best. I'll come to the services for 11.30 anyway just in case and that will give plenty of time for a stop at Caton and then to meet Ray at Devils Bridge For anyone who needs it my mobile is 07817 367 111 It's sunny outside now let's hope it lasts another week. According to the tabloids we re due bloody snow next week. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
SNOOOOOOOW! .. .. .. I think I'm on my own at being excited at that prospect
|

It better not bloody snow I spent three ours cleaning the bike this morning so she didn't let the side down next Saturday

No worries Geoff, also spoke to Ray today. If your no. still ends in 591, then I already have it. Will meet you at Corley Services at 8:30. A bit of rain you say!!!! Already packed poncho's, life raft, flare gun, spare paddles, and snorkel gear, in case it really rains. It's Dent - ergo FLOOD.

Once again thank you all for your kindness. Will hopefully see some of you at the Farmyard. Paul and Jahel |
