I'm a clinical research scientist - running clinical trials with cancer patients. Er... it's more fun than it sounds.... :o)

...to learn new stuff. Like 'Bikes run better with petrol in'.

Some twerp (which may or may not have been me...) left my bike on 'Reserve', so when it started going 'chug chug chug' up the Devizes...

perhaps.........especially if the rider is better at left handers than right handers

or.........if the track is predominantly left handers, but i can't think of any off the top of my head

...

Yes, and I really want to go, but my bike's not in a fit state, and unless I get a new one tomorrow I won't be able to - sob!!

Oh poo - the dealer closes at 4 on a saturday, but thanks for the offer. I'll keep pondering.

I wondered if he was french perhaps...

Seriously, it's being sold by a dealer who bought it from another dealer, came in as part ex, so I've no idea of history. It's got such a low mileage I'm...

I've been looking at a second hand bike - Honda Hornet 600. and I've noticed the tyres are more worn on the left hand side than the right, especially the back one. The bike's only done 1600 miles -...

I've just got some leather trousers through from Fox Creek Leather in the states - a bit of a faff, but what with strong pound etc... Anyway, they're absolutely fabulous. The softest leather I think...

Sorry I haven't done one - are you automatically offered one then? Because the b****rds have just given me points - I got done twice in 24 hours for going through the same camera(!!!), but they...

Oh no, Rayzer's right, anything other than lemon and sugar is frankly not cricket. And there have to be lots of them of course. preferably not scraped off the floor after the unsucessful flip attempt...

My excuse is that I don't have...er... balls! ;)

.. or even 'appreciated'... You see, still not functioning properly... :D

Working fine now - wretched bike took one look at Dave, who without doubt looks more technically competent than I do, and started first time. Frailty, thy name is Beryl...

Thanks Dave - very much...

At least i don't ride like a girlie eh Jen!! :P ;D ;)[/quote]


Oi - what's wrong with riding like a girlie??! You should be so lucky! Hurrrumph....

this is not a dating forum davey boy :P ;D ;D ;) .. just dont say you ride a twin. :-[ i wont say a word :-X ;)[/quote]


Now excuse me boys, what is going on here?! I take my eyes off the site...

OK, so I'm afraid I know as much about the internal workings of my bike as I do about the internal workings of a giraffe, about which I am deeply ashamed. However, until I get myself a decent book on...

What you did sounds great BB, and definitely something I shall look into. I promised myself I'd keep training and keep riding regularly, but you know what life's like; it has a horrible habit of...

Ah, not too technical then, I might manage that. The message bit, not the sticker bit. I shall no doubt get the sticker stuck on the garage wall/floor/cat etc in an affort to get it where it's meant...

OK, I'm going to be really dense here - what does 'PM me' mean? I'd like a WB sticker for Beryl (the bike...) if there's one going.

yes, I know, women and technology, get it over with....

I'm not too far from you, over near Wylye, so if we get any decent weekends and you fancy a ride out somewhere give me a shout. I did my DA course December 05 and haven't done a great deal of riding...

I'm over in the Wylye Valley, west of Salisbury - very pretty and I'm just dying to start exploring it. Roll on crisp clear days and I might just get out and have a potter myself. Assuming I can work...

Hi there - just joined the site and saw your messages, and I wondered how you got on. Did you do your CBT? Did you take it any further and do the bike test? I'm also something of a not-awfully-tall...

You're right, I guess I gotta face that rain sometime....

Hello all. I'm new to riding and to Wiltshire too, so it's a double whammy, and now it keeps raining, so I've barely had Beryl (Suzuki GS500) out of the garage since I got here. :(

I'd be up for...
