Good Afternoon :)

Post by M3verick »

Only just come across this forum, shammy mentioned it on the other forum im part of (R6ers - J3Math on there, but apparently someone has taken that name on here already!!) and thought id check it out as I dont know too many bikers around the SW!

Anyway, My name is John Mathewson, 22 from Weston, and about to go back to loughborough uni for my final year in Manufacturing Engineering. Feels like im writing a date site intro!

Please to meet you all and hope to get out on a few rideouts before I go back!

Passed my DAS last year and have now taken to track riding! I ride a 2003 Kawasaki ZX-6R on the road, pretty standard apart from a PCIII, exhaust and a few bits n bobs! This picture was taken on the Normandy beaches this year when we rode to Le Mans for the MotoGP :)

Image

I also ride a 2003 Yamaha R6 on track, here are a couple of photos from Castle Combe trackday a few weeks ago.
Few nice bits which I wont list but are in my sig!

Well I took biking up again when I had some time and money last year after a few years out because of university; the trip to le mans was amazing, id recommend it to anyone! Ended up buying a trackbike before I even went on track but boy I dont regret it! Just trying to find a few people to go with now!

Shammys a bit useless with her mashed finger and excuses that apparently the driving lesson trade is busy!! :wink:
