AMEX by Motorcycle - advice please

[Hornblower]

I will be coming to the AMEX by motorcycle tonight, where is safe to park? Do you have to queue up to leave? Anything else I should know?

There are usually some parked under the railway bridge I think.

There is a row of bikes in the coach park, at the top of the stairs behind the south stand including some tasty Harleys, Triumphs and a very nice Moto Guzzi Griso. I think that there are more on that part of the stadium land nearest to the Village Way/Woodingdean road junction. I'd love to hear how motorbikers are getting on with parking - I'm considering using the stadium as an excuse to buy another bike. After all these years.

Are you travelling down from Lincoln for home fixtures Impy? Sounds like you need one of these to make light of the long schlapp:-

You KNOW it makes sense!

A Fireblade? Too hairy for this ancient returner to the motor bikin' art. I was thinking of a naked street bike, possibly a Triumph or that beautiful Guzzi.
(Lincolnshire's where my genes come from but I was born near Brighton Station and key this in with the South Downs over my right shoulder so no long trip to the Amex for me.)

I know from previous posts they were allowing motorbikes into one of the car parks at no charge but do remember hearing that someone had there bike pushed over after the palace match. I was thinking of riding to games next year when got my replacement bike but this put me off, think i'd rather carry on slumming it on the train and at least that way can have a pint or two!!

Ahhhhh, right you is. If I'm honest, I was just using your imminent return to 2-wheels as an excuse to post some Bike Porn.

BTW, I actually had a go on a Street Triple last year & it was assured & great fun to ride. I'm not a huge fan of the exhaust system on this model (either old or new), but that's just down to my own preferences. Whatever you end up going for, I'm sure you'll love the many improvements that standard machines have over the vast majority of their now-aged forerunners. Well, Just so long as that ECU keeps doing what it's supposed to...

My days of nutter bikes are over, I'll stick with my ubiquitous GS. Dont like the idea of it being pushed over though, I filled the tank this morning so it will take at least three of us to pick the bugger up.

Looking on the bright side, it'd take at least 3 muscle-bound toerags to push it over in the first place.

ps What GS have you got H/b?

I've got an r1100 at the mo, I had an R1150 Adventure but it was just too tall for me. I do love the boxer engine, I've had loads of different bikes over the last 40 years, all the japs, big trailees, strokers, Guzzis, customs, you name it I've tried it including one of the new bonnevilles (probably the most boring bike I've ever owned) but I keep coming back to the beemer twin. What's your current steed?

I usually travel by motorbike. Park by the coaches up the top, free of charge, just by the stairs going down to the south stand. Easy enough. When it comes to leaving, often there are a few that block you in on rare occasions, but apart from that, you just filter through the coach park and get on the road, easy stuff. Saved me a great lot of hassle and normally get away from the stadium within 5 minutes max.
