Seeking all like minded Dax lovers
Its been a long time since i've posted, but i'm back :D A few weeks ago Tuftynutkin posted a meeting at the Ace cafe, it was mainly Monkey bike guys, but also about 5 Daxes turned up.In total there must have been about 20 bikes. After meeting at about 10.30, we all took flight and left, to take over the city of London. I must say it was a spectical to behold. Everywhere we went people stopped to take photos :D :D .We stopped at Traffalger square for a break, then continued to the south bank and again stopped by the Globe theater. We left there at about 4pm and made our way back to The Ace via the North circular ( time for a blast of speed).
All in all it was a very well organised and attended meet. Many thanks for the monkey guys, will be defo doing the next years meet.

If anybody is interested, there will be a very large classic bike show/motorbike auto jumble on the 1st of July At Battlesbridge, In Essex. This is usually a very big meeting with loads of different bikes and associated activities throughout the day. I will be there with my two Daxes and I hope to see Tufty down there as well. Please come along lets try and get somthing started in the way of a meet! Check out the Battlesbrige antiques website for dairy and further details. :D :D :D
Hope to see you there

I'm up for that :D
Typically I'm on call that weekend, but I gonna try to come anyway :D
Not sure if I will bring a bike, they don't look so good in bits and stored in various boxes, but it would be nice to see your bikes. I'm close to getting one of mine on the road but I'm not sure if I'm that close!

Hopefully see you and Tufty there.

Re: Seeking all like minded Dax lovers
Hello Blue, Would love to see you at Battlesbridge, I'm aiming to be there from about 10.30ish, I normally tuck myself in and around the Vespa boys. It would be nice to see more people, bikes or not. It seems that on occation throughout this forum people have expressed a desire to have meets/ rideouts. This could be the start of something for the "Essex Chapter" :D :D If enough people turn up then I would defo consider organising something on the similar line to the Ace cafe model.

Once again mark the 1st of July in your diarys and lets make this the start of somthing that I am sure we have all wanted for some time.

Many thanks Simon :D

Hi Everyone
I am interested in how many users of this forum live in Essex as there does not appear to be much interest in a meet on July 1st or am I wrong, so far only 4 members have shown an interest !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the backing Tufty, i'm beginning to think the same thing :( There was as a spate of people on here crying out for a chance to meet. I understand that some people live far away, but this could be the beginning of a regular local meet (Essex) If people want an informal, friendly meet then turn up at Battles bridge show grounds on the 1st of July (obviously pending weather) and join us. It would be a chance to talk Dax, and show off you'r bikes. :D :D :D

Hello Gents (Ah, and I must say hello to our lady friends now as well!!)

Time is nearly upon us for the Battlesbridge motorcycle meet (possibly the biggest annual meet in Essex) :D It would be nice to see a few faces and say hello. ;)
A few of us will be attending so you won't be alone. I know Tufftynutkin will be in attendance with his brand new creation where he will reveal all!!! :o :o :o
He has been tempting me with snippets of info, so I for one can't wait :mrgreen: I will be taking down my 1974 Lady Dax and my go faster 1972 custom Dax.
There are lots of clubs attending and loads of auto-jumblers, There all also some really good stalls selling everything from wiring accesories through to nuts bolts, and all things "bling" :D

This will be my last posting on this subject, but I hope that it will generate a bit more interest, than it has to date.

Many thanks Si :D :D :D

Re: Seeking all like minded Dax lovers
I'll do my best to get there but I've a feeling it might be on my RD350LC if the weather is good. I'll have a word with "she who must be obeyed" about taking Daxy Waxy in the car but I'm not sure if she will as a bike gathering and auto jumble are not really her thing. It's an auto jumble after all so I might be able to twist my dad''s arm to drive up there. Fingers crossed I make it!
