New member, and a newly fledged biker too

Hello everyone! :) You all seem like a friendly bunch around here so I'm hoping you can make a new member feel welcome.

I'm a pretty new member of the biking club - I took my CBT back in April '09, but finally got myself a bike of my own in March this year, a trusty Honda CG125. Since then we have done nearly 4000 miles together, including getting my full licence in September ;D

I think that's about enough for now, so I'll just end with a quick photo of my trusty steed (known as Stanley):

And just because I love him, a sneaky photo of my car too:

It would be good to actually meet some other female bikers - I'm the only one in my office, in fact possibly in the whole place!

I don't know if I would call either of them 'mighty beasts' ;D They are both first vehicles so neither is very fast, but they do look good!

Hmmmmm, no, I think I'll pass on that offer :P He's a C reg (1986), so not quite an original but still pretty old - older than me in fact!

I don't intend to sell HIM (Stanley is not a her), although he's not looking quite as shiny at the moment due to the mucky roads. There are a few faults to fix but I'm working my way through the list - the hardest bit is finding the parts as Honda have discontinued most of them!

Hello and welcome Loops! :) Where do you live?

Welcome aboard Loops - Looks like Stanley is a long-term proposition then - he'll make a decent winter hack as long as you can keep the salt from eating him alive :(
Are you going to trade up to something bigger and better come the spring - or earlier, now's the best time to be buying as the prices are depressed by the season? Any idea what floats your boat yet?
Whereabouts are you from? I'd guess somewhere around the Bath-Corsham area as you mention using the A4 regularly. If near Corsham on your travels, why not drop into the Fart & Clown in Gastard on a Wednesday evening to sample the Smellyburgers (which are far better than the name might suggest ;D) and meet some WBs as it's our official weekly meeting point now [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Stanley is indeed a long term member of the family - I'll be keeping him even if I do trade up. I'm also still riding and intend to for as long as I can keep him upright (and the cages aren't sliding all over the road), it's all a good learning experience :)

I did my A2 restricted licence, so I'm limited for the next two years. Stanley is doing nicely for now (at 36,000 miles!), I might upgrade to a 250 or 350cc next year or I may wait until I am de-restricted and go straight up to a 500cc or 600cc.

I'm in the Corsham area, I'd definitely be up for popping along to a regular meet, have a chance to meet some new faces - and try a Smellyburger, I'm trusting you on it being a tasty option!

We are tippy-toeing around at the moment - I've also booked in for some new tyres tomorrow (everyone think sunny thoughts for the next few days so I can run them in!) which should help during the torrential downpours.

I will try and make it to a Harp and Crown meet soon!
