Hi All, Quick hello from a newbie from deepest darkest London… I’m based out near Heathrow so as to ensure my lungs are full of beautiful smoke and pollution on a daily basis… On the rare occasion I go north of Watford I have to stop every few miles just to suck on an exhaust pipe to stop my body from going into shock from all the clean air… I’m fairly new to bikes and after a couple of months on a trusty Honda CBF125 I managed to Pass my test in Sept 2018, within weeks I was on my Triumph Street Scrambler and haven’t looked back since. 2019 has been a great year and on top of a bit of fair weather commuting I try to get out most weekends for a blast, one of the best trips to date was in June to Normady for a few days an amazing experience ruined only by the French… Ive loved every minute of owning and riding a bike but there were 2 things no one prepared me for.. Firstly the deep depression when you cant get out for a weekend ride and secondly the amount of money that I have spent on add ons and tinkering… I have convinced my wife that we are actually an amazon receiving centre… none of the boxes that come with my name on are actually mine.. honest… As im still new, im still learning and I’m hoping you guys are a nice bunch that will help me out with stupid questions as I further my bike riding journey Thanks for taking the time to read & hopefully will catch up with some of you on a few ride outs Cheers Stu
Scampey. Welcome to the Family. Do drop us a picture of the baby steed we will love it as something different to ogle. Congratulations on your test aswel. On here or should I say in here in the asylum the inmates are only to willing to help out and do love a chinwag now and then depending on meds. So you got a question fire away someone will give it attention. I myself are not to far from you and yes perhaps there could be a run out sometime soon. Ride Safe & Regards Joe.
Hey Scampey, welcome, they're a good bunch here, participate, don't take anything to heart, I'm guessing as you ride a Street Scrambler you may be over-sensitive gender fluid hipster, take the piss and you'll fit right in. They have an annual meet up named the GMU, 2020's is in planning, sheep shagging country (not the southern hemisphere one) some time July. Your attendance alone will lower the average age by twenty years, by the looks of last years pictures and comments, imagine the Garry Glitter fan club jubilee conference.
You had me at gender fluid sheep shangging.. I'm in... Sign me up!!! Thanks Joe, appreciated.. Pic posted as requested.. Ogle away and just imagine her covered in mud.. She loves it dirty...
Scampey. I missed something I thought it was a 125 Honda. I was going to have a meet and burn you of. Like Repooh said you have to take everything as the fun side of things and brush of the piss takers as its all part of what makes this forum the one. It's a lovely machine and I am sure you get some great pleasure out of showing it of. How is the grin factor right now it lasts for months. Thanks for sharing the picture. Regards & Ride Safe Joe
