Hi all!

Well I never really know what to put on stuff like this - it's like writing a dating profile! Here goes:

Cuddly knight in leather armour, on silver steed WLTM other knights and knightesses in leather armour and mounted upon fine stallions of their own for fun times and friendship and hopefully lots of riding (ooer!).

Ok, that's the profile out of the way! I'm Aidan, 28, just moved to Swindon. Been riding since I was 17 (CG100, CB125 & RS125) and have recently moved onto a zx6R which I'm hoping to get to some track days in the new year when we get some better weather and I get some more time on the big bike under my belt.

Am a huge GP fan, have thoroughly enjoyed this seasons racing, even if it has been up and down. We have had some spectacular races.

Am interested in coming on some ride outs and meeting some new people as I work from home so don't get much chance to meet new people and we've only just moved down here from Cheltenham.

That's about it really - any questions, feel free to ask. I'm not shy!

Thanks everyone. I've just had chance to have a browse through - looks like the friendliest of all the bike forums I've seen. Certainly more so than the MCN boards!

We are a friendly bunch, we're more like a family then a bike community ;)

Hi and welcome to the forum and to the area; I'm sure you'll find lots of friends here. I'm from Swindon too and I'm happy to meet up on the way to one of the regular evening meets or for a weekend ride-out.

Well if you fancy a ride out to one of the meets, I'd be up for that. Have no idea where I'm going yet as I'm still finding my way round. I can get to George whites, and into town, and thats about it! lol

I've not been to a meet on a bike yet, it's a confidence thing ::) but know where they are, so once weather improves or we at least have a few dry days that'll be cool. if you can't wait that long think ro is surgically attached to his bike [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
