Cheers Green199,
Our local regular Wednesday nt pub meets have just finished for the season (April to September), there are however the VMCC and Sunday lunch meets. Startford Upon Avon is a great meeting spot.
What we need is a focal point throughout the year, a meet, a show or track day/s, however a slant on the CR scene is a defo. I must say though, the thought of being labeled as a Chapter
does turn my stomach a tad. Soz to anyone who wants to be in a Chapter, no offence, its great for some e.g The Rolling Hills Harley crew etc, however, "my bikes not off the peg" and I'm not a patch wearer. A classic working model is the VMCC, I'm a member, a multi brand club without the single make restrictions, or any others. Don't get me wrong I'm not advocating forming a club, just clubing together.
The point of the CR in my view is to promote individualism and artistic bike engineering, on all levels....the end result being a bike thats yours, built by you and admired by all, if they can catch you. My bike doesnt have Cafe Racer labels on it coz it doesnt need sub titles.
Heres an idea:
As we CR types tend to spend a great deal of time in autojumbles, and there are 60 plus of them throughout the country, why don't we make them a focal point..all points of the UK are covered by one at least. I am well up for comming up with stand material i.e. trailer, tables, banners and freebies. Realistically small local AJ's should be covered by someone in that area. Imagine being able to arrive at your AJ and stage yourself at a CR stand, coffee, chat, info, feedback on ideas....sounds good to me...anyone else up for it????
