Hello from Plymouth

Post by Vannicholas »

Hi.
Hopefully this is posted on the right bit of the site. I'm not too tech savvy, so I got the wife to bring this page up. Simon sorted my suspension the other day and pointed me in this direction. I got home, signed up, and it turns out I've been a member since 2013! I refer you to my opening gambit!
Anyway, I've ridden bikes since I was a kid up north, came down to the sunny South West in the early 90's courtesy of HM RM and never went back, let's face it, it's grim up north.
I'm living in Plymouth, a spit away from Ernesettle MX. I've recently got into track days, 3 x at Castle Combe, so I'm very much brand new. I'm looking to get some more experience on track and hopefully some advice.
All the best,
Jim.

Hi Jim, and Welcome. I'm a Combe regular as well, was there on Wednesday, and booked in for 2 more in July. I ride a Black and White R1 in the Inters group. If you are on any more later in the year, post in the Track days section, and people can look out for you.
I'm not really grumpy, just misunderstood

Hi Jim and welcome, I live about 20mins from Combe done it a few times but the 10min sessions do my head in so stopped going there, they do longer sessions now but I'm unlikely to get there this year...
Enjoy yourself, you're in the right part of the country to get out there with this lot.

Nice one, looking forward to it. I've put my name down as a reserve for Llandow, so hopefully I'll get up there and say hello.
