Oh yes, I remember...

Did you know that the Suzuki shop in Burseldon is having a bike meet on Thursday nights starting next week?

And there is a BBQ at the Anchor pub, Ropley with a lot of bikers from this area too? I plan to be there myself.

Not as much as you're thinking - they still cost me £260! But a discount is still discount Wink

Not bad for a 2 piece really though eh? And they really were nicer than the ones in Hein Gericke Very Happy

Yes it is Rob Willshers...just down the street from me - literally. Typical, cos my bike lives in Shirley!!! I might end up standing my leathers thumbing it down there, or shamefully turning up in my Noddy car.

Leggy Girl, my mate who I ride with, is a new rider and despite the fact she has a Bandit, she rides very steadily. So you are more than welcome to come out with us to this BBQ and meet at The Anchor pub, Ropley. I will often blast up the road a bit, but then wait further up - its no biggie to me. We all start off slow at some point. (well most of us do)
