Hey guys, is there anyone on here that likes to go...well riding

I like to go riding but can get a bit boring after a while being on my own...so i was just wondering if there was anyone in the west yorks area that likes to go out on the odd sunday.

Thanks
Matt

[panrider1]

is halifax to far away from you then matt

[phantomtek]

I am in Leeds and always up for a rideout, usually to Squires. I will show you a good route, we can meet up with the rest of the Northern lot then go upto Helmsley its ace

[MattHirst]

Hey panrider......i work in southowram (you should know where that is if you live in halifax )

I'd love to go out riding with you guys (trying to make this sound as none-dodgey as i can lol)...but i aint up for no speed contests, i'm only a learner on a 125 (but i wouldnt say im a bad rider nor a nutty one).

Oh yeah, any of you often go to scarborough? Me and the old man used to go up there quite a lot but now he sold his bike its a no no

So how many northerners are there on here?

Matt

[phantomtek]

[panrider1]

yep i know where that is matt .im 20 miniutes outside of halifax .
dont bother about riding a 125 we have all been there and i dont do speed contests them days are over

[MattHirst]

Trust me, i aint a chav. If it was upto me, i'd put every chav in the country into 1 building, put a stick of dynamite up each one's ass and blow them all up

Anyway, on a more serious note....not to sound stupid or anything but where exactly is squires? If it is easy accessable (bearing in mind i can't go on motorways) then i'd give it a shot.

Helmsley seems a good trip, and from there, there is a road straight to scarborough by the looks of things.

Anyway, i live in thornhill lees, dewsbury.

Oh yeah, what bike's do you guys ride?

I applied to be in the 'northern riders' section thingy but my application is still 'pending'

Ermm:

[MattHirst]

Ahh, sounds good.

Anyone up for anything on sunday? Just about the only time i am free for riding

I asked my old man about 'squires' and he said it is a bikers cafe heading towards pontefract.....is this right or is he thinking of something else?

Phantom, I'll PM you my address in a moment.

So what is your most favoured riding destination? IE the place you go most that is of any interest to the biking world......

So, do you guys go out often with each other?

Hope i won't look out of place to much on a suzuki GZ125

Matt

[phantomtek]

You will look fine, won't be able to make it this weekend but the weekend after will be fine, I am free to go to Squires, which as your Dad says is a Bikers Cafe, and it is near Pontefract. It's ok to sit and look at the bikes but I love the ride there and back, trying to improve on my cornering on the wide selection of road patterns. You won't be out of place on a GZ125, as I say I will be taking my mate on his CG125 so you can race him

My favourite place was probably Brighton as I loved my stay down there, though I also like North Yorkshire and I've heard good things about Wales, Scotland and the South West.

[MattHirst]

Sounds good to me, like i said....i am free just about every sunday (apart from when im playing in a snooker tourney ) but biking takes over that anyday

I might have to take a trip upto squires this sunday just for the ride whether its on my own or with other random people

[JBurrows88]

I seriously need to fix my handlebars then you must PM me about going somewhere (or post)

I've not gone out on a ride with any1 on here b4 and all my mate have 50cc scooters so never end up going far with friends.

I live in bradford/shipley area and have a YBR-125

We must do something sometime (arrange a ride out when you can get time free)

Post to us in north room

Hey, I still can't access the north room...they don't want me

I sometimes pass through shipley when heading towards otley or up that way...going through baildon/ilkley way.

Whats up with you handlebars? Is your bike in any ride-able condition?

Matt

[JBurrows88]

its ridable and i think there only minor damage!


I put bike on stand and the stand was not on the ground and the bike fell 5seconds after i walked away! lol i looked like a right tit when i was picking it up

Then got on bike later and realised that the handle bars are out of proportion to the wheel (when handle bars are straight the wheel points sligtly to the left. Think i just have to unscrew the handle bar holder and put handle bars back into correct position!

Takes few minutes, as i have had to do this once before (on a friends little pit bike)

I don't want people to think i'm impatient though

I'll see the weekend over and see that happens then.

Matt

[dodsi]

We dont want you in our club.



Your welcome to join us I am on as phanny said a ZX6R I dont live that far from helmsley etc.

[MattHirst]

So when do you generally go out for a ride?

Oh, before i start jumping into things. You guys ok with a random guy, that you haven't ever met tagging along? (we all have to start somewhere in the biking community )

Matt

[dodsi]

well that is how most of us met.

The only person I knew was extreme3d out of the north lot.

That was because he used to live next door to me and it was me that got him into biking.

[MattHirst]

So have any of you guys got a ride organised for tomorrow?

Matt

[dodsi]

Work.
