Where you from and how long have you been riding??

Is that some form of chat up line? :o :o

Well I'm from Berkshire and I've been riding for 9 years now.

Never thought of it like that :o

Answer is NO, not a chat up line. Just wondered as it seems most people on the site arent actually from Wiltshire.

Seen as everyone is so far spaced out how do you manage to arrange smaller ride outs or are they all long distance runs??

Well some of us (RVFBabe and SkyJawa) are from Berkshire/Surrey and for us to ride to Wiltshire wouldn't be too much of a problem. The forum has only been going a short time and therefore no rideouts have really been planned (apart from the one Richie posted up about but that was mainly because of the Ninja lot going anyway).

There will be plans in the summer for some rideouts I believe and as Gixer Paul/Rick AKA Baldspeed are my brothers they can just stop the night at ours (mine and RVFBabe's) for the night if they wanted to. However, they are only from Warwickshire themselves so it's not too far for them to travel either.

Andrew, I'm a member on Visordown but don't post. There are also biking sections on other forums as well (Scoobynet/Pistonheads) but TBH I've never really done the thing of getting to know other bikers!

Dutch

14-03-06, 01:26 PM

All the bikers I knew have all stopped riding.
Most had families, One had money problems and another scarred himself too much.
I love riding but still getting to know about it so talking to everyone on here is great.
Sounds like most people that post on here are family?

Dutch, only four of us on here are family and that's the Wallace brothers (Me, Rich and Paul). Poor old RVFBabe married in to the Wallace clan.

Oh, there is another family as well which is SkyJawa, Jennie and Iain, but tbh the latter two haven't posted since returning back from New Zealand. Neil, do you know why this is?

Scott_W

14-03-06, 01:39 PM

We try and get out as often as poss but with people having different committments each weekend its not as much as we'd like. I reckon once or twice a month would be about right...........

Dutch

14-03-06, 01:48 PM

Thats not bad considering. Think my missus would murder me if i wanted to go out every weekend.
Where do you all meet or do you just see whats going on and then decide?

Scott_W

14-03-06, 01:50 PM

For Neil, Karen and I it's easier as we can meet up during the week and go for a ride around our local area. We did this last year not long after Neil passed his test, and we plan to do this a lot more this year.

Also, with Paul we tend to meet up on a Saturday or Sunday and just ride around Oxfordshire as it's half way for both of us. However, we only managed this a couple of times last year due to circumstances.

Neil, no probs about Iain/Jennie. Guessed it would kind of be dog related.

Where about in Oxfordshire do you meet??

Considering what you are all saying this Box Hill run was quite a big meet that just happened. Was it just people from this site or was it from a load of sites??

Scott_W

14-03-06, 02:01 PM

The Box Hill run was arranged on the MCNNinja forum and loads of people "local" to Box Hill turned up as well as the crew Richie got together from your neck of the woods.

As for meeting up in Oxfordshire, we normally meet at the services at say Bicester or the ones at J8. From there we head off towards Dorchester, Henley, High Wycombe, etc... and just take in loads of different roads. Some quick and some slightly slower twistier stuff.

You know many places in Oxfordshire? If so, do you know of Fox's Diner?

Dont know too much about Oxfordshire to be honest. the other problem i find is that because i drove for 10 years all the routes i know are easy and quick rather than chellenging and fun!!
There is so much i want to learn about riding and i cant wait till a bit of good weather comes about as it feels like it has been winter for the past 6 months.
Do you mind who turns up on the days you go out in Oxforshire??

Scott_W

14-03-06, 02:08 PM

Not really! I suppose if we're planning on meeting up we can just chuck a post up on here and if you can make it then turn up.

I know what you mean about driving roads that are easy/quick. As you can see most of us on here are petrolheads and all drive quick cars so we tend to know some good roads for cars, but yet when you do them on the bike they just aren't the same. However, that is the joy of riding a bike, you just jump on it and go where ever you like!

Scott
As long as you dont mind having a few other people turning up on those Oxforshire days that would be great.
Totally agree about the bike and just being able to jump on it and go. It is the only vehicle i have ever owned that i just dont care which way i choose to get somewhere or even to know where i really want to go.
Everytime is different and always a challenge. Especially considering i am a newbie
