Hi @Rockman

Nice idea...and probably this group has the best chance of doing that .:D

I guess locations make sense to find somewhere central for all

I wonder if some normal bike run locations would make some sense ?

The ones I know

Striking out for me puts the ace on my doorstep almost,
Box hill a little jaunt into the country.

Alton & loonies a decent run out.

Access to others has me within an easy ride distance to the start of the M1/M4/M25
So anywhere else is just a matter of weather and saddle time.

Errr yeah, its like sitting on an angry dragon lol

I am taking it very easy, hard to tell what gear its in, pretty much live in second gear lol, getting used to it though, the steady stuff is fine, its the gaps in taffic entering busy roads that are a bit scarey, I cant drive aggressively on it or ill be watching it dissapear into the distance from my seated on the road position

Looking on the brightside, diabetes is no longer the biggest risk to my life :)


Edit: 125cc to 135bhp is only 10 different right?

Not many things
Lots of cheap ladies bike stuff on facebook marketplace and ebay at the moment so you don't have to spend a fortune to get kitted out. If she doesn't like it then you won't have spent too much.

I've got new bike now so spent the last 6 months replacing bits of kit that have deteriorated, my boots fell apart on the day I collected my new (used) bike.
