View Full Version : Hi from Bristol
Hi ALL,
I am quite new to bikes as I have full licence done May2009. I am now 33, and was waiting to be a biker for a very long time.
Since than I had Yamaha Fazer 600 for only 26 lovelly days. But sorry ladies - car driving woman reversed in to it - write off.
I went to France on a bike for 5 days :lol: - lovely time
Than I had a nice to ride alternative Yamaha Diversion 900. Well - a WHITE VAN in the middle of my road and write off again.
Now from late January I own Suzuki GSX600F - yellow. Cheap and bit rusty in places, but it was NOW - i need a bike. Not the best bike for longer runs, but I do enjoy the power and handling on it.
So with my temper (driving Vectra 180BHP) and quite responsive bike I am trying to enjoy every mile to the limits.
Usually going out for a quick spinn on weekends (weather related). I do love to ride - I should call it = addiction.
Can help with computers if you have a problems or need an advice.
I am also technically minded - car mechanic in past.
Hope to find someone to ride with around Bristol area.
Have done something like 6000-7000 miles last year and still building my confidence.
See ya on the road
Hi and welcome to WB [smiley=thumbsup.gif] I hope your luck with bikes and cars/vans changes :o
Welcome to WB!
I am from Bristol too - and have just been made redundant! My applications are going nuts - if your company has any positions - hit me up! I aint very well qualified or experianced as I am very young!!!

welcome to wb
not all women are stupid enough to reverse in to a bike :P
hope your luck changes though
Sad to hear
I am nearly in the same position looking for job now. My company's contract will be gone in the end of month, and hope we will have it for next year :-/
I have fingers crossed all the time [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Hi there Gamer..ive just relocated to Bristol a month ago so if you fancy a local ride or something further afield then give me a shout [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
thanks all
tank bag, backpack and 270 miles one day.
I should have taken my over seat bags.
It was a pain for my shoulders, arms, legs - now I know that anything around 100 miles a day is absolutelly fine on my GSX.
