Hi all, just came across this forum, surprised I've never managed to find it until now! I'm currently living in north Swindon, don't actually know any other bikers from these parts as I've not been here a year yet, moved up from Taunton. Been out riding most of the winter so far enjoying my r6 but for the most part, solo. be good to meet some more like minded people locally and maybe tag along for some rideouts!

Here's me and my ride :)

What like the 2nd one in Hemel??
Did you know that we were the testing centre for roundabouts at one point?? Hence the Magic Roundabout and some of the wonderful double roundabouts we have

Actually I'm really liking it. Moved here to be with 'er indoors but seens as she has now left me in the lurch I just ride, ride, ride. As I don't really know anywhere locally or anyone local (I work in high Wycombe...) I tend to dash off into South Wales for fun.

Yeah, what the heck is that magic roundabout all about? Let's face it, it's hardly round and it's certainly not magic!

Nice bike, considering you have only been out riding on your own, those are some pretty neat pics you managed to take!!! lol ;D ;D Very nice bike though

LOL, I said mostly on my own ;) I do sometimes manage to drag someone along with me, problem is until now everyone I know that rides are down in Taunton so by the time we meet somewhere we've already covered some distance!

Thanks though ;D
