Do you ride a motorbike?

putt-putt..vroom-vroom...same nation, different tribes @Fenn

PTW is the name of the game..
we all ride under the same sky.
 
To everyone Ride motorbike scooter Will be nice to meet up at some point near future for drink.
 
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.

I live 10 minutes from boxhill hehe, but wales would be a great excuse to test outmy new temporay bike
 
I never expected to but im loving harleys, theyare so pretty, when the weather is rubbish I could just look at it but will use the Suzuki for my commuting

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?

Correct, except when you hit warp speed..( and you will...WHHEEEEEEEE :D:D:D )

And remember the wrist controls the twist.;)

OR as i tell the missus...
Scream IF you want to FASTER...:happy:
(punches to the kidneys means go slower... apparently.:sorry: )
 
Shes having none of it! But my youngest (15) wants a go on the back, I have said once ive bought her full protective gear she can, I bought myself a cool new helmet today so she just needs the clothes now, thatll give me time to get better before I let her on hehe
 
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.
