I take it then that one of the biker cafe's that has upset someone has now had the autotype thingemy changed to the blue oyster? Lol

Hi.

Thought it was me for a moment. I bought a rather nice yellow 53 plate model a few month ago. I live nearby and often call in after going for a spin. As I'm local and lucky enough to not work Monday/Tuesday I often stop at the lower barn. Friendly bunch and I often get into trouble at home spending too long chatting about this and that.

Where are you from?

Hey guys not had my storm long and only been up rivi once on it I did spot a red vtr up there when I went you can't really miss mine it's orange and purple lol hope to see some of you up there and have a chat and maybe a ride out one time

Hi Chris & Doddy.

Small world. I saw Doddy's Storm up at Rivi a few weeks ago. Nice paint job. I was probably on my CBF250 ( I have this thing about smaller bikes) so you woudn't have seen my Storm.

Tuesdays sound good though with all the salt, crap on the road and cold weather it might not be for a while yet. Carn't wait for spring.

I have however, just signed up for advanced training at SLAM who meet at the Hartwood in Chorley. Anyone here a member?

cool think ill try gettin up there in new year thanks mate

I live a couple of miles from the barns but never really bother with it, full of people walking about posing and giving others the stare down if they dont know you, wombles that.

If I go for a blast / ride out on a weekend its usually early before the mainstream and police are out

I work nights so have the summer days to my self it's probably the only benefit to working nights when normals are tucked up in bed.

rivi is easily THE worst road in the uk for a blast. especially the top roads.
way too many potholes, too much mud & horse sh1t & boy racers in uber saxos & scoobys thinking theyre pro rally drivers & quite confident that nothing will ever be coming the other way...

& £1.50 for a cup of melted plastic.

add to that the fact that it takes over an hour for the ambulance to get there....
