Absolutely right.

hi all, im from sunny kent 'rochester'!!!!

Surffrog · 01-17-2008, 2:57 AM

Hi Leemerritt and

Wow, Rochester. That brings back really fond memories. I competed in a few pirate rallies round your way, albeit a very long time ago. Are the country "back roads' still as good as they used to be?

Woah!

Ive never seen your blade on the streets before, i usually pass your road but dont usually go down there.

Twincam · 01-20-2008, 3:13 PM

If you ever want to meet up, just drop me a PM.

You go up ace cafe much?

Surffrog · 01-21-2008, 1:25 AM

Cool to see there's so many of us about.

I see from the news at Heathrow that the weather's still pretty sh*ty. Is it icy or just plain cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey?

I'm near Oxford.

13°C (55°F) yesterday. Grey and damp though.

twincam you would'nt see my blade on the street never.always try and avoid leaving my baby alone.(look what happend after my little hospital trip).anyway never rearly go to the ace always find it a little boring.do go whenever they have the anual brighton run.mainly ride alot around chelmsford areas as i know these like the back of my hand.

Twincam · 01-21-2008, 8:14 AM

Ah ok, i only go down Chelmsford to go to the DVLA office, dont really know it as much as i would like. I prefer the route to Harold Wood from the A12 Colchester Road, its a straigh run with one camera and a few traffic lights (Porches try it and trust me they loose)

I havent been on a Brighton Run before, will be taking my Mini when it is ready - might tag along with you when you next go if thats ok?

Hi, I am in the UK, live in Gloucester and work in Wolverhampton, first bike for a few years so all a bit rusty!!! if you know of any ride outs please let me know. Cheers

bumble blade · 01-21-2008, 1:55 PM

twincam your missing out on some great riding right on your door step. the roads to finchingfield,dunmow, burnam-on -crouch,felstead.and many more.
all these roads are almost camera free and loads of bikers meet up at several places along the way. i'll have to give you a call when the weather picks up and take you out for a dash with my mates.i'm not the fastest but hey who's slow on a blade.

Twincam · 01-21-2008, 1:57 PM

Haha its true, ill be bringing my son anyway so i wont be doing break neck speeds...

Yeah that sounds nice, hopefully the weather does pick up soon (the blade has only seen one day this year) Grrr.

bumble blade · 01-21-2008, 2:15 PM

i know what you mean, wethers crap maybe we'd be better of whipping the engines out our bikes and sticking them in rowing boats.at least we'll be able to enjoy the outside world.

mr_bump · 01-30-2008, 9:41 AM

I live in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire

Surffrog · 01-30-2008, 1:06 PM

mr_bump · 01-31-2008, 6:58 PM

Thank you, thank you

Gothy · 02-02-2008, 11:58 AM

hi guy's,
My name's Chris (gothy)

I live in Kent near Dover,
and I ride a Honda cb400 super four.

As listening to music goes, i have it on so i can hear the engine too.
because when i open up the bike she screams just like a blade. - just not as fast.

She's got a scorpion full system and makes such a lovely sound under heavy accleration from 6000 to 12500 RPM, and a nice deep tone at around 3000 RPM.

Surffrog · 02-03-2008, 2:21 AM

How 'ya doing Gothy?

I think it's just you and me on the 400's at the moment. There are quite a few CB400's here in Thailand (mine's a CBR) but I've often wondered what they're like.
Stay safe and keep her sunny side up

Bucko@buck88.ka · 03-06-2008, 3:54 PM

Hey, Twin. We're doing really well with Brit number here now. Not quite enough for an invasion. But give it time
