Hi from sunny Westward Ho!

Post by nelsont5 »

Hi all!

Just moved to Westward Ho! from London, loving being 2mins from the beach. I was informed by a customer at work today about the Barnstaple Bike meets and was googling it and stumbled upon this forum. So i thought id say hi and introduce myself. Currently riding an 06 CBR600RR, seen better days but i still absolutely love it (other half would say a little too much)!

Anyway i see loads of bikers on my daily commute to Barnstaple so maybe some of you are on here!

Take it easy and enjoy the sun,
Nelson

hi nelson, welcome to playtime :)):

We have a few members up your way and hopefully they will be a long soon, some of them are a little shy but it's ok if you offer them some cake, they only nibble.

The 600rr is a beast, you certainly have the right roads to play on for it.

Hi cobrabuilder.

Now that sounds like a blinding trip. If only I hadnt just come back from an over budget holiday, that would be a mad one. Im guessing your both riding out? The longest bike trip ive done is bringing the bike from london to here when moving down! I long for a European trip and definitely like the sound of Nurburgring. Nice to meet ya btw! :D
