Portishead newbie

Post by MisterPaul »

Hi all

I've stumbled across the site while trying to get some advice on overnight parking near Bristol Temple Meads station.

I'm currently a scooterist (am I still allowed in?) living in Portishead and working in Bristol. Had a Honda Vision since January and still loving it being the quickest way of getting around Bristol.

I've got my Module 1 booked in a couple of weeks and am looking forward to getting the L plates off.

I was intending on staying with a small engine as I don't know if I canl trust myself with the potential power of something bigger. Well I was intending, until I was on a 500cc on a lesson day a couple of weeks ago and got onto the dual carriageway at Keynsham...

Hello Paul. There's a few of us up here in the far north.
'Ware on the Keynsham BP and the 4174 ring road. Often camera vans lurking (sometimes on bridges !!).
Have you noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a maniac ?

Don't care who you are, how much you have, how powerful you are. You still sit on the toilet with your pants around your ankles. Yep, it's a level playing field..
