Hi All,

Moved back to the UK from South Africa about three years ago. I last rode an Aprilia Mille R 15 years ago which I managed to highsided coming out the chicane at Kyalami. The result - my pride and joy was trashed and I broke my back. No worries, I walk today, sort of, and in the process of doing my CBT and direct access to get my license again.

Once that has been done, I will be back on two wheels and joining you on a few rides.

Can't wait.

cheers

Hello & welcome. There's a ride on the 14th which will be suitable for people on learner bikes, as long as they are capable of the posted speed limits ........

Welcome and good luck with the CBT etc.
The August 14th Friendly Rideout will be a great groundbreaker if you can make it. As Mr Moose said, if you can attain the posted speed limits you'll be fine

.
I can't make the rideout

as am still under 'Management Supervision' following an ironwork inplant in my left hip, but perhaps we'll catch up in a few weeks and compare back injuries - I broke mine racing sidecars in 1981 and don't/won't/haven't rode anywhere without a back protector since - it saved me from a wheelchair then #:-sand probably again in 2008

(on public roads this time) - and IMHO should be a legal requirement for road riding as well as racing.

Hi,

CBT done, bit odd going from this

to riding around Exeter on a 50cc scooter.

next step is Das, which will be in September and then I'll be joining you on the highways and byways of Devon and Cornwall

I doubt I will be able to ride like I used too, but one never knows.

This is me on my Gixxer, as a track tool I loved this bike, all about stringing the corners together and keeping the momentum.

Doubt I will do track schools again, not after the last time - but I'll come and watch
