Hope you have a good one but I thought the Hen and Chickens was at Melling and the one just north of Maghull at Lydiate on the A5147 (I think?) is the Scotch Piper. Both have bike nites and normally a good turnout - just avoid the usual nutters!?

We usually go to the scotch piper just down the road from the hen and chickens, last6 night was the first wednesday evening we went there, we took our lessons and test across the road in fast track....but we plan to go again next week and probably most weeks after, we liked it there.
If the silver one is the one I thin it is then i dont think he/she is from this site, i saw that bike last week at the scotch piper but couldnt see the rider.
Sorry i missed you, hope to see you there soon.

yeah thats the only reason I dont like going to scotch piper, finding space to park,but there seems to be a more friendly, closer feeling there, might be cos its smaller...lol..hmmm..cosy

Neither, I'm not one for cold calling on my own....... unsure.gif

today's merseyside meeting at Southport is only the second social bike gathering I've been on.

Been riding for 5 years !!!!!

Went with the XJ900 squad up to Devils bridge , last year, that was a laugh and goin to France with them in the summer.

Looking forward to todays ride out.

See ya. Ivan

I'm on call for work tonight, so no Hen & Chickens for me. Even the back-up plan of watching Liverpool vs Chelsea down at my local has been scuppered due to lack of mobile phone signal in the pub!
