Dale - Newbie

Post by Zx10dale »

Found myself at Crossgates yesterday and recognised a couple of lads I had just bumped into at the Raven (Whitchurch).Got talking and found out they were from this forum. As I was going to do the same route as them I was invited to ride along. (rubbish with names so cant remember who they were except there was a 675,Fireblade 08,Blackbird (blue) and Honda 1000R )Ended up doing Aberystwyth, and Bala before heading back home. Excellent ride a great bunch of lads and of course superb roads and not one policeman. Always looking for riding partners etc so I said I would join the forum. So here I am looking forward to more runs like that in the future. cheers guys

Hi dale was good to meet you yesterday and was good fun loved the roads and the company was excellent except for blade he kept showing me his arse all the way home which was enough to distract an old woman who drove straight into one of these

No just the aftermath looking at the giant 4x4 the old dear was driving there was no attempt to turn or brake.

It was an 05 in green, brand new, it was a fantastic machine loved every minute on it. The crash was my fault not the bike , it was written off which is why I now have the R 1

I've not written one off, gave it a proper good go and if I'd gone through the insurance probably would of, so am I not a proper kwak rider?
