Hi from Clevedon
Re: Hi from Clevedon
Helloooooo!!!!
I'm a little down the coast in Burnham and similarly would love to have a riding buddy that's not mental out on the roads
Drop me a PM anytime, I need a reason to get my bike out and head somewhere

Mellow - have they closed down now then?
Don't often ride to work. I go from Taunton to Clevedon so its a bit boring or highly illegal motorway riding. Crikey you do Clevedon to Yeovil. I though i had a long commute. How long does it take?
Do you ride or drive to work? I'll look out for you and do my own bit of stalking...
I ride if the weather is reasonable. Otherwise i drive. Its a decent trek but a fun ride..
Illegal riding on the motorway? I don't know what you mean..
I work shift so it can be fun.. quiet roads, especially during the summer months...
Where do you ride if your not commuting and just going for a spin?

I basically bought a new l6 model really cheap in october as it was in its way out. Then saw the new R model come out last month and thought... yes please ... lol... p/x and bought this one.
Nothing more to it than that.

Ooh the R!
Didn't feel that comfy on the gixxer personally, but the 'blade fits like a glove

Re: Hi from Clevedon
A guy i work with will rides nothing but a blade.. he's had quite a few. I guess like most things, you get a feel for something when you start out and often from there you adapt to what becomes a "norm".Smiler wrote:Ooh the R!

I rode a Yamaha R1M a few months back after winning a competition to ride it at silverstone with Niall Mckenzie instructing. Theres a small write up on it in Fast Bikes magazine this month... lol. I felt a little uneasy on it at first but by the end of the morning, it had grown on me. But not enough to tempt me to consider buying one.
Re: Hi from Clevedon
I had a GSXR600 around Oulton recently, it was good fun but not enough to tempt me to change lol! Let's call it a fling haha

Re: Hi from Clevedon
i had an RD350LC when i was 19 but some ker nicked it, needed transport so bought a GSX400 import, sold it after a couple of months and went back to an RD350.
For some reason i've never been tempted back by a gixxer since. Have had hondas, yamahas, kawasakis and now a ktm.
I see a lot of them go past me on track though.
