    Well, I'm middle aged & the bikes a thumper!

    Anyway, I'm Neal & I live just outside Swindon (few hundred yards from M4 J15)

    I've recently downsized from a CBR1000F to a Suzuki XF650 (otherwise known as a "Freewind" - awfull name, so the tank badges have been ripped off to save my blushes :-[ !!!!!)

    It's been a bit of a shock going from the CBR to the XF, but TBH, I'm having much more fun on the XF - especially round the clogged Swindon roads & streets. The licence feels a bit more secure too :

    Well, I'm hoping to make some riding mates around Swindon & this looked like a good place to start

    BTW. are there other thumper riders here (I'd hate to be the only slow 'un )

    Cheers, & keep it shiny side up

    Always room for another one on here! Welcome to you and I look forward to meeting you. We have bikes of all shapes & sizes on here and the riders are much the same!

    Maybe you could make it down to the Lysley at Chippenham next Monday for our Pink Meet.

    We could learn a lot from crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, while others bright, some have weird names, but they all have learned to live together in the same box.”

    Look forward to seeing you there.

    It should be a laugh as the great Gixerboy is to make a prat of himself riding a pink 125 - his normal steed is his beloved gixer1000 at great speed! No compulsion to wear pink yourself!
