Aussie moved up into the city of Bristol

Post by JaxJax1 »

Hey guys and girls I've been introduced to this by another rider in a bike shop in Bristol.
Really interested how you riders cope with riding in the cold between now and next summer

Cheers!

P.s I'm also in the market for a bike soon as my license gets upgraded to open class. ( unrestricted) MT07, Panigale 1199 or monster

Hi there jax, welcome to Swb.

I reckon that was probably me that was bothering you if it was in Fowlers.

Dive on in and have fun. Keep us posted on the bike Hunt.

How did you get past the border guards ??

In disguise, I borrowed a gixxer and pushed it Across the dotted line. It had twigs sticking out it and everything.

I think they felt sorry for me.

I wouldn't consider a Panigale for long road rides/touring - but then I'm an old fart with sore aching bones and what do I know :mrgreen:
