Hiya it's Jon smilers mate

Post by Jonj »

Hiya I was down on the gwithian camping trip a few weeks back on my little cb450 and met a couple of you there

Well next weekend I'll be down Newquay way visiting a mate I'm planing to move in with next year but he will be working on the Saturday so was wondering if anyone will be about for a bit of a ride (I will be on the vfr this time lol) and explore some of your pristine countryside and twisty roads again except I would would rather not see badger inches from decapitation this time haha

Heyyyyyy! Hello my lovely! :ymhug:

Despite your dodgy accent and the slightly dodgier face fur, those lovely folk in pixieland have some ace roads to play about on :)):

I cant come down next weekend or else I'd love to do a chunk of Cornwall again, Badger has some pretty awesome routes so if you're stuck for suggestions give him a shout :)):

So does this mean you'll be a full time SWBer before long? :-bd

Hi Jon,

Think we met on the camping weekend a couple years ago, when it pissed down and some of us were in ti-pees.
Hope to catch up again soon.
Nothing against smiler, we all love her but bragging about knowing her will have people questioning their own sanity when inviting you to events :)) :))
(Just kidding Smiler)
In the mean time, enjoy south wests finest twisties .
catch you soon
Nick.

Missed this one.

Wouldn't have wanted to try to keep up with Jon on a decent bike anyway. Hard enough on that rust collection last time! Although I do have a decent rear tyre on now which is making me a lot more confident with leaning around corners. Turns out I'm not completely c**p at cornering just mostly.

Whatever happened to the guy on the kwacker with the fuel issue? I wondered because one the the royal british legion riders branch guys had a lot of trouble a week or two later after filling up at that same Shell garage.

Haha nothing wrong with riding to your abilitys mate my whole riding career has consisted of constantly throwing my balls to the wall and riding like a dick (nothing to be proud of) that's how I have learnt how to grow it about there's no skill lol just bollocks lol

I haven't heard anything from him but he should have been fine as long as he kept his tank toped up it was just his fuel pump that was knackered

It's probably 50/50 skill and danglies. Just the danglies and you'd be crashing every few minutes but you definitely need them as well.
