Easter Sunday Meet at Box Hill

Weather was dry for the big joint UKMOC & DSC meet at Box Hill â€“ even a few of the DOC popped in too.

Over a period of a couple of hours bikes just rumbled in totalling 97 Ducatiâ€™s by 12.30! There may have been more after we left, but stopped counting by then.
The bikes ranged from the standard & custom 600â€™s â€“ to the S4R in the Monster range & the 748 through the SS, ST, 8**â€™s, Multi strada to the 9**â€™s range. There was even a rare 749 dark. Also seen was a Hailwood replica, a Bostrom bike & a Hodgeson rep â€“ and AKâ€™s thing â€“ which didnâ€™t know which side of the fence to park on!

Faces too numerous to mention in the UKMOC, but Iâ€™ll try:
CK & AK

Also:

2 x S4 riders â€“ forgotten your names! - and probably others too!!!

A very good turnout for both clubs â€“ and the UKMOC did as they usually do â€“ went to a local pub for a good scoff & a beer.

Good to meet you all and finally put some faces to names...what a great turn out!

Had a good run home and the roadworks on the M25 weren't too bad on the way back.

I hope to make the Monster weekend assuming I've found a bike by then!

****! ****! ****!!! I forgot about the 'safety' cameras on the M25 gantries between the A3 and the roadworks. Finger's crossed.....

Chased a 748 on the A40 on the way back til he wussed out at 100, then I went past and gave a little wave...

PD, was going to have a chat and look at your bike but when I returned you had all gone! Will have to catch you again-cool bike!

My first ride out to a UKMOC meet (I'm the big ugly one in the Alpinestars leathers drooling over Kylie - "Kylie went to Box Hill.jpeg")
Got lost a couple of times on the way down (If I could only get out of bed early enough to meet up in Alton!!??

)

Its weird but I knew loads of your bikes but none of you lot! I'm sure everyoune feels the same on their first meet.

And I've just realised how shabby my bike is looking compared to most of the machines there today

Anyway hope to meet up again in the coming months.
