Title: Bulldog Bash Post by: pie on August 05, 2007, 09:11:22 PM Is anyone here going?
Title: Re: Bulldog Bash Post by: Manky Monkey on August 05, 2007, 10:04:13 PM Can't afford the 50 quid ticket price & have to work on Saturday mornings anyway, so for the last few years I've been going up to Stratford on the Saturday afternoon instead. Most show goers leave the site in the afternoon when it's quiet & head for the town in search of cheaper beer & decent loos. There's several big pubs where everyone congregates so we just cruise from one to another. We see loads of bikes, chat to loads of people & all it costs is the petrol money & the price of a pub lunch. I think Ska Man & Simon are taking their trikes up. Not sure about Flap. He's been on holiday so not spoken to him for a couple of weeks. If I can't bum a lift with Ska Man I'll go in my old van instead.
See you there? Title: Re: Bulldog Bash Post by: pie on August 05, 2007, 10:25:03 PM maybe i'll do the same then! i'll look out for the two trikes, would really like to see them other than in a picture, could do with a bit of inspiration to get me back on track with mine.
Title: Re: Bulldog Bash Post by: ByzMax on August 05, 2007, 11:29:41 PM ;D Me Mrs Byzmax and the Byzmax boyz will be there on the Beach Bastard!
Look Forward to seeing any who make it! ;D Title: Re: Bulldog Bash Post by: Manky Monkey on August 06, 2007, 06:48:18 AM Going to the show itself Byz or doing the town like us?
Can't remember the pub names, but there's one on the road from the town out to the rally site, (possibly The New Inn), one on the right as you go over the canal bridges into town from the site, plus the pavement along the front of the park, (which I think is a meeting point for bikes every Sunday morning, not just Bulldog weekend). There's a pub at the top end of the town, in the market square, which we normally walk up to for lunch. Title: Re: Bulldog Bash Post by: flap on August 06, 2007, 02:27:56 PM When is it?
Title: Re: Bulldog Bash Post by: Manky Monkey on August 06, 2007, 03:48:34 PM 9th -12th August. This weekend. We going up on Saturday afternoon as before? I think Nige & Simon are taking the trikes. Guess I'll be tagging along behind in the van. :(
Title: Re: Bulldog Bash Post by: ByzMax on August 06, 2007, 03:50:17 PM When is it? Tis this weekend Loony! Will be going to the show all weekend and may have a ride out on the weekend if your about. Let me know! Title: Re: Bulldog Bash Post by: flap on August 06, 2007, 03:56:54 PM Strike on Saturday so no work for you and Si. I don't work Saturdays anyway. 8)
Title: Re: Bulldog Bash Post by: Manky Monkey on August 06, 2007, 04:09:11 PM How convenient. Would be nice if someone actually bothered to tell us officially instead of just word of mouth. Strike also means no pay but will try & raise enough for the petrol money. Mrs Manky's at an 'orse event in Scotland all weekend so I'll be all alone. :(
Title: Re: Bulldog Bash Post by: flap on August 06, 2007, 04:17:34 PM Yep, Strike at Basingstoke so i presume hook will be on strike the same day. Reading are out on Wednesday and Friday. Gets very confusing.
Title: Re: Bulldog Bash Post by: Manky Monkey on August 06, 2007, 04:21:06 PM Not achieving anything though is it, other than a big hole in my already meagre finances. Don't they know I've got an ageing Pop to support?
Title: Re: Bulldog Bash Post by: BikerGran on August 06, 2007, 06:24:59 PM Brings a whole new dimension to the phrase "aged P"
Title: Re: Bulldog Bash Post by: Plainy Janie on August 07, 2007, 05:18:41 PM Flap, are you saying that different branches are on strike different days? Not heard that before. Or am I getting confoosed. I know that collection depots, post office counters, night drivers strike different days. ???

Kustom, you serious? O.K, the Bulldog Bash is one of Britain's biggest weekend bike shows. The bike equivalent of a music festival. 21st anniversary this year I believe. Held at Shakespeare County Raceway, Stratford on Avon, this coming weekend. Go to www.bulldogbash.com for more info. Title: Re: Bulldog Bash Post by: kustom on August 08, 2007, 08:19:11 AM sorry thought you was talking about another show not the bull dog bash
