I know, but it seems there are a few of us that do, so I thought ....life's too short to hold to protocol.
Could be fun to get together before there's too much salt on the roads (and snow for that matter).
Suggestions for venue/destinations?
I'm based nr Winchester, but have bike, will travel

Shouldn't you be putting things like that on other "specialist" sites? Might give the wrong idea to the leather clad masses on here, as we all know what happens on STW group rides!
speak for yourself, I wear Goretex
I would be up for this.I'm at the far end of the M4 in South Wales.
Leathers or textiles-I'm easy I ride a Trannie.....
My bikes are packed up for the winter!
already 
We might be up for it too, just up the road in Farnborough. 2-up on a Ducati ST3s should be up for it. Sensible (ish) riding only though.... 
PP
absolutely, I reserve the right not to get into the nutty stuff
Scotland, so a bit far away but bike went off the road as of 1/10/11 
Ok lets all meet in the col de la bonette 
Are you going to meet up with a group on scooters and have a fight with razors and chains?
Can I come???
Elfin, I'll let Kirsty take you on the back if the Duke if you like? She needs pillion practice with someone light before she has a big lump like me on.
I'm happy to cross the bridge if someone has a route in mind?
Or there are lots of nice roads here....
Any ideas on when?
End of the month best for me for juice money but can maybe sort something out before...
Ok then!
Can I bring a chain? Oh can I? PLEEEEEEASE????
Shall we go on crossers instead? I can think of some ace footpath/ bridleways in the peak I'd like to haves razz up
No. No chains. Behave now.
Oh go on!
Bloody spoilsport don't want to come anyway not coming now.
You'd just shit yourself anyway......
No, I'd poo in my hand and throw it at you.
I might bimble over, say hello, bimble back...........
I'm in Bristol so not too far away. I'd be up for coming along on my Tuono:
So, we could go in a welsh direction. Could meet by the bridge. Anyone got a good route?
So far we have a trio of Italian bikes.
Any others?
Triumph 
Would be riding over from Northants so if you're heading further west may not hang around for long.
No decision made on a route yet. Seems like we are all spread out a bit. We could just chose a destination, meet up, bumble and then split.
Any suggestions
Damn - bit far for me with my 5 month old lad taking up a lot of time at the moment. The Guzzi doesn't make it far out of Cumbria/Yorkshire/Lancashire at the moment!

Maybe if there is another next year
aka_Gilo, I took the new Tuono out earlier in the year... man that thing is utterly batsh*t insane! Loads of fun, but very glad I didn't buy one. Life would have come to a very entertaining but ultimately untimely end!
That's a lovely guzzi.
I don't think this will be the last attempt at a meet. We should plan for the spring too
Some of the fun roads this side are
A4061 Bridgend-Hirwaun then A4059 up to the A470.
From there you can hit Brecon or Sennybridge with or without a bit of the A40.
Then you have either the A40 to Llandovery,A4069 over Black Mountain or
A4067.
They all drop back onto the A465 or M4 for a quick run back.
Loads of lovely roads that I kind of know.Usually ride them on my own and I'm by no means fast.
We could meet at Abergavenny,Monmouth or Magor services just after the bridge.
Depends how deep into Waleshire you want to come..
Open to suggestions and happy to follow...
Capt Kronos - happy to help with the family. I'll take the Guzzi out.
Sounds like an interesting option
Let's see how many are up for a welsh adventure...
capt.Kronos - love the Guzzi!
Re: the new V4T, yep it's a proper piece of kit. Not taken one out as I'm sure if I did I'd want to buy one, and I can't justify £11.5k on a new bike. That said, I love my V2T and it'll do me fine for a good few years yet.
If we do head for Wales I know stacks of routes we can do as 95% of my riding is over there. Alternatively a breakfast run to Weymouth would be fun, especially if we do the West Bay - Weymouth roller coaster coast road
aka_Gilo... I drifted it around a corner after 15 minutes, hoiked a monster on the subsequent straight and finished with a rolling stoppie... at which point I decided to go for a hair cut as that kind of stuff really is not sensible on the public roads! It's abilities were WAAAAY beyond my levels of competence!!!
The Griso is bloody ace though and never fails to draw attention. I still say it is the sexiest bike on the market today. Hopefully it still will be by the time I finish paying it off
