North East Section Club Night on Thursday the 1st September

Post by nomisimon »

Summer greetings on a fine evening

Our next meeting is this Thursday, the very first day of September, from 7pm as usual.

The venue is the Robin Hood Inn on the Military Road http://robinhoodinnhadrianswall.com/ and the weather looks good, so far, for us to bring our bikes. There have been a few new members join our section in the last month, hopefully we'll see them if they aren't on holiday.

The weather since we last me has been warm (too hot sometimes), dry and not too windy...I've been out several times on my bikes and hope you've had the chance too.

See you on Thursday.

Simon

We met at the Robin Hood on the 1st September and pretty much filled the snug which the pub kindly let us use.

The night started to draw in at about 8:15 pm, so next month, it will be back to four wheels unless our lights are working and the weather isn’t too inclement. I felt so sorry for one member who had ridden many miles, only to have to turn around and go home immediately so he didn’t get caught in the dark; his battery wasn’t charging. Geordie is almost finished his bike…it has a sidecar too, but he’s having carburettor issues, and Neil has had his 1953 G80 running for the first time in probably over 40 years. He sent me a photo of the basket case, spread over his lawn, back in November 2020. I’ve seen the bike in person and he’s made a fantastic job of it; only a few jobs to do and it’s done. There are two pictures, one of the basket case almost two years ago and the other of the bike as it is now. Sean has had unexpected loss of compression on his 16MS and brought his cylinder head for examination. There’s always plenty of discussion, as you’d expect, regarding problems people are having.

The pictures will be in Jampot or on our section's Facebook page.

Our next meeting will be on Thursday the 6th October at the Robin Hood from 7pm. (http://robinhoodinnhadrianswall.com/ NE18 0LL)

Remember that we have a Facebook Group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/373628291432623 It’s a private group for North East Section members to share pictures and information. We’ve kept it private and for members only, to keep the spammers and scammers at bay.

If you’re looking for a great day out, the Great North Classic Car Show is back this year…last time there were about sixty stunning motorcycles of various marques there too. You can find more information at https://www.facebook.com/tgnccs
