Quite local, what kind of ride are you looking for? There's a few of us get out regularly but we tend to be irresponsible and kittens can get hurt.

Howden isn't too far if it's where I'm thinking. Could be good for a ride out.

Yeah I'm york. Do you get up seaways at all? I'm more of a potterer than a progress maker, but me and fifteen15 have fun. He's in bev. He's quicker and smoother than me and has the faster bike - gsxr 600. I've only got twins - 500 and 650. Plus also I've got a speed awareness in hull come tuesday so I've had to think about the old throttley stuff more lately. But I'd definitely be up for it.

You need to get in the northern forum - not because it's busy or owt, but just cos that's where the york people will post. Although thinking about it, and iirc, you've got to get some karma up first before you can access the local boards. There are about ten semi-regs from round about, but I've not met 'em. Was going to put out some pms and try and organise a scarborough bimble from fridaythorpe this summer but here we are in august and I've done nowt. So yeah - I just know fifteen15, and I'll vouch for him any day. Bloody good lad. But his shifts are awkward so haven't seen as much of him lately.

Hey trevor thanks for the reply. Ive requested to join the northern forum so we'll see how that goes. I'd be up for a ride sometime, like I say, I don't mind getting a move on, but by no means like some do.
im on a hornet 600 so probably wouldn't be too badly matched. Maybe we could organise something.

Also, I know where seaways is, I take a ride to brid quite often, though never stopped there.

Are you seaways or squires? Always seems it's one or t'other up this neck. I prefer the latter really cos there're more bikes to look at, but it's just that bit further. And the ride from where I am is pretty pants too. But having said that I'm there most saturdays. Seaways I do more of in the week - shuts at four mind you, which is crap. Oh and then there's fimber, down by the roundabout on way to sledmere. Not as busy down there, but good for the odd bit of old brit iron.

To be honest, I know of a few of the cafes and I probably should stop for a chat, but id rather be out riding than sat looking at bikes.

Haha yeah me too, me too. I generally just get a cuppa, say eh up to whoever is there who I know, then crack on. There are some good roads up on the wolds, but there are also a fair few patrols too and plenty have been done for 60 odd in a 60 limit. Can be pretty harsh.

Not sure where the wolds are. When I go for a ride, I usually go to brid, Scarborough, or down the a19 past Selby. I think I've been lucky so far as I don't think I've even caught a patrol

other place I go is wetherby, but thats with the missus on the back, and the way she makes me ride a patrol wouldn't be a prob!

maybe next time you're out you could give me a bell, show me where you go.

Yup, I do that one quite often, although last time it wasn't much fun because they'd been surface-dressing the roads on the way to Burnsall. The bit from Burnsall to Grassington is my favorite, although I prefer to do it on my WR250X so I can see over the walls.

If you're going Otley / Ilkley way, have you tried going along the other side of the river via Askwith?

One for Trevor: if you want more bikes to ogle then the Sun Inn near Norwood has meet-ups on Wednesday evenings and Sundays. Not really my thing, so you're safe from finding me there.

[malteser273]

I haven't tried going near askwith, I don't ride over that way often.

I'm always up for trying new routes, but I was mostly looking for people to have a ride with. I love going out on my own, but sometimes its nice to have someone to ride with
