Vintage Tiger Steamer Gathering In The Sw

Yep, very interested in a SD (socially distanced!) meet-up ..... as long as I'm allowed to and forgiven for turning up on a Trident or Mk. 1 Speed Triple. My Tiger's still in storage and will require a long re-commissioning exercise once it's eventually repatriated!

Locations? I was going to suggest this :-

but as it's now pre-book only; chargeable and likely to be a poseur's paradise, I dismissed the idea.

I figure an initial meeting ought to be somewhere slightly "lower key"? As an alternative how about the (former?) Log Cabin Diner on the 361? Not sure if it's opened up yet but there's a car park so that's a start. Just checked - it's open for takeaway so is fine.

However, if you're looking at attracting Steamers from the wider SW region then maybe somewhere like the Haynes Museum would be more regional-centric?

Edit :-

For possible future meets we could consider Coldharbour Mill in Uffculme - a working mill that still uses steam power (occasionally) for textile production. Has a large car park, cafe and shop.

 

I’m up for this!

 

ok is it weekends that are best? I’m probably more free in the week at the moment as have just got back from work in the North Sea.

 

As I'm a retard - sorry ...... as I'm (mostly) retired - any day/time is good for me. I am, however, unashamedly a fair weather rider so, if it's raining I'll be in me old Astra!

 

If the weather's OK (i.e. dry) I could/would do Tuesday or Thursday.

Did you fit repro indicators?

 

Sounds good - if the weather stays dry I'll probably use Speed or Trident, or even the Daytona if I get it taxed. Seeya then.

 

where’s this log cabin??

 

Although annoyingly I’ve arranged to meet a mate in Dorchester on Tuesday. He’s coming from Pompey and I’m coming from Exeter so Dorchester is in the middle. Bloomin typical but don’t feel I can back out on him now.

 

Ah I’ve found it near South Molton.

 

Yeah, good idea as Steamers aren't exactly around in plentiful numbers these days. Never were, I suppose!

 

It's easy to find, Clarkey - it's 'on' the A361 North Devon Link Road.

 

cheers. I’ve double booked myself though so hope you guys enjoy the day.

 

Sure will - if it's dry. And the same to you. See you at the next one!
