    Hello!

    I moved to Calne in December 2019 from Oxfordshire. I've been riding since 1971, and currently the owner of a BMW F800GT. Spent many years working in car and bike dealers, the last one being in Newbury until it closed last summer. Most of my riding these days tends to be days out, but now that I'm forcibly retired, I may make more use of the bike and get myself away for a few long weekends.

    That's about it! If anyone has any questions about how dealers operate, I'd be happy to try and answer!

    Cheers!

    Hi John, Welcome to WB. We are a bit thin on the ground on here but we like to think we are quality not quantity, well most of us anyway.
    We are all looking forward to getting out and about again and enjoying long weekends away, ah we can dream...
    We could learn a lot from crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, while others bright, some have weird names, but they all have learned to live together in the same box.”

    Welcome aboard John. We're about to leave the area but will still infest the forum and see WB folk around and about, including you hopefully.
