Hi there

[swaffs]

Thought I would say hi and introduce myself.
ok that's done i look forward to joining in the chat.


Ok,
been riding for 9 months, initially just to ease the commute M25 etc...

I did Direct Access and brought an ER-5 to learn (to ride, rather than pass test) and gain confidence on, however 8 months and 5000 miles later, sod that, got me a nice CBR600 FY.
(Had to start bloody insurance from scratch as churchill couldn't get me under the old company with new bike)
So 8 months insurance wasted and no I couldn't have waited the extra 3 months !!!!

only had it 3 weeks, and due to a job change won't be commuting on it, so I need to get out and about on it, (only done about 30 miles so far)
I'm hoping you guys (and gals) are going to be helping me .
I don't know any bikers around my area (brother and sister in law in Newcastle !!! although I am doing the easter egg run with Northumberland Bikers in April !!)
so if there's any meets around the London/Surrey area let me know, would be cool to take my new toy out other than for work.

ok i forgot to mention my age #cough# 32.

Introduction over.
Ready for the newbie flak, bring it on...


/Korn thanks for the invite, look forward to meeting you.

Welcome aboard, good choice in bike as well. Got the black and red one myself.


So do you originally hail from up north yourself?

London/Surrey/Berkshire is where it all happens - a lot of the BCF peeps are down here. That lot up north have no idea what goes on. We'll no doubt see you at Boxhill once the weather sorts itself out.

Excellent choice of bike by the way.

Welcome. Quite a few of us in the South.

We can often be found around boxhill (near dorking) on Sundays... though I believe the intention was to have a mess around in an industrial estate in Reading if the weather's nice this sunday: there'll probably be a few going to box anyway... Judging by the forcast storms, it all seems quite unlikley however.

Most of us that go to meets have bigger bikes... Don't think I own any 125s now .

This forum is linked to from NSR125.com, so there's a lot of learners around however.

[Golden]

What are the plans for Sunday??? which estate in Reading are people meeting at....obviously might give it a miss if its pissing it down, DOH!

Cool.

I get the feeling now they are desperate for submariners, I can't go anywhere near a recriuting officer without them trying to get me to become an MEO on a submarine.

As a rating in a 'black tin can' you must have had it the worst of everyone!

OM(TSM) sounds like an interesting job though, albeit in a submarine!

Welcome to BCF.

Shame you bought a Honda.

Welcome to the forum swaffs.

There you go, I think those zorsts with the colour scheme make this bike look wicked.
I am of course extremely biased. My 4 year old boy also loves it calls it my \shout #England# bike.

Very nice bike, and a belated welcome!

[Phil.]

Love the bike mate! Cans are great!

Welcome to the forum!

[swaffs]

Thanks guys.
I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it
It sounds awesome as well.

We'll need to have a rev-off, cos I think my FY sounds like god's blender.

[swaffs]

Bring some humble pie !!!.

[Bendy]

That's fighting talk sir!

See you at the Ace if the weather's not shit or something else doesn't get in the way

[swaffs]

Look forward to it.
