Just saying hello :)

[rew632]

Hey everyone, I thought I would post a little about myself as I'm new here. My name is Kevin but people from the internetz call me rew because my username is rew632 (not sure why I picked that name) I'm 24YO. I passed my test almost 2 years ago and had my CBT for 1 year so overall have almost 3 years riding.

I done my test myself and had all of 3 lessons as money was tight but I somehow passed everything 1st time, I would say Roadcraft Nottingham's YouTube videos helped a lot and still do to this day.

I still have my little Suzuki EN 125 and she has got me through all my tests and to work and back. I have not long changed to a 1980 CX500 (some will not be liking that lol) I like the bike I know all about the names people call it but.... I like it, well mostly its engine and I wouldn't change a thing about it.


I'm from Glasgow so I hope to have a few meets with people around Scotland and hopefully get down south for the odd meet now and then. I'm happy to ride and meet in the rain as I feel it just ups the challenge

I don't ride "fast" and will only filter when needed so I don't know how that goes with group rides?

Thanks for reading this and I hope to talk to you all soon.


Ride safe

How are rew?

CX500 has character, no need to be apologetic.

I'm Glasgow based myself, and am also about the journey rather than the destination. The weather's not ideal for ride outs at the moment, but let's see what spring brings.

Hey

Some nice custom CX500s out there, getting popular as cafe racer stock judging from the way bike porn websites keep spamming them. They've come a long way since their gullepump days.
