New biking season, New bike, New start...
After a wet and miserable winter, spring is upon us and its time to get back out on the road, albeit with a few changes for me and Oldfatboy.
As Im no longer commuting I'm now riding purely for fun so I traded in the ER6 for a Ducati Monster and I haven't looked back. The ride and handling on the Monster is way more fun than the kwaka ever was - Best decision I ever made.
Oldfatboy also traded in his ZZR1400 for the new Ducati Diavel and hes loving that too.
Very much looking forward to the warmer, drier days to get out on some rides.
Im back on the forum so here's to a fresh start ;D

Ohhhh I lurv the Diavels! Rode one a year back on a demo day at Riders Bristol, so much power that is fully useable and for the style of bike it handles really well though it took a bit of getting used to. Look forward to seeing both bikes out!

Great to see you back :)
I bet the Monster and Diavel are super bikes.
Will keep a look out for you around Westbury and give you a wave if I see/hear them :)

Can give away too much at the moment, but once we have exchanged contracts we can broadcast it to the world! ;D ;D

Well good luck to you and I hope your venture turns out well for you.
My daughter lives in Frome so I shall try to push some custom your way once you are established etc. :) :)

Re: New biking season, New bike, New start...
Lease is up for grabs on the kings again, I cant understand why people cannot make money in that place, its fantastic, location parking footfall etc, just needs a bloody good chef ! and a little longevity, enjoy your pub and when this new biking season begins will you please let me know, you must be living the posh side of Trow vegas as its still prety ****e around here :)

Re: New biking season, New bike, New start...
The Kings?
Where's that? Just curious... we have already got wheels in motion on a pub, so Im just being nosey :)

Re: New biking season, New bike, New start...
Kings arms Hilperton, used to be a "Proper biker meet" huge car park on the outskirts of trowbridge, good sized restaurant which never seems to be open :( take a look at it before you sign anything I think it may appeal, I have certainly considered it but have too much going on right now :(
-
Re: New biking season, New bike, New start...
Thanks for the heads up, will check it out. ;)

Re: New biking season, New bike, New start...
The Kings Arms at Staverton near Trowbridge is a bit of a dump. All the year I've lived close by it's never done any good.
