Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Cheers guys, I follow tank slap on Twitter too, love the comments..

I'm nice on that @tankslappers twitter feed. That's polite me

Welcome in Joliv1202. I live in Berkshire too plenty of riders around this area for ride outs

Welcome! Great bunch on here!

Hello!! Real name is Ro, I'm already on 1000rr forum but new here. I'm 26, into my 6th year on two wheels... now my 2nd year of having only two wheels as my car died of old age (1959 Morris). Based in Reading and ride around on a Fireblade 954 (the best one?!) love getting out and about for cafe rides so if anyone fancies burning some fuel drop me a message

Hi Ro

Yep, we've got a few around Reading way and we do get out for cake

Welcome to the forum Ro, would that have been a Moggy that expired on you.?
My baby brother killed a few of them in his time.

Hi Ro. Welcome onboard.

I'm based in Mortimer just outside reading. Looks like we are going to be organising some southern rideouts next year. Frankie has got a great list of cafes we should try

Hi and welcome Ro, good to have you along - I suspect cafe rides may turn into cafe crawls from the cake related comments on here at times.

Can't beat an old Moggy minor, I've some very fond memories of my parents BRG Moggy ragtop in my childhood, also remember sitting on the front cross member with a paintbrush and jar of paraffin cleaning out the bell housing while Dad had the engine out, prior to a Gold Seal lump going back in. My Mother nailed his head to the wall when she saw the state of me after that.

Hi To welcome to the site mate.

954's totally rock. Had one a few years back until I wrote it off in a track day and was gutted it was an amazing bike.

Last of the true blades designed by Tadao Baba.

Sure was a Moggy... she isn't dead as such, more a 4-pages-of-MOT-fail sort of death... excessive corrosion on every possible point More hibernating than dead.

She's called Ziggy, a 1959 Blue/grey saloon with a 1300cc Midget engine lurking inside her. She was my daily drive during the winter until she was dry stored 2yrs ago... now I'm down to 2 wheels only!

Welcome on board great choice of site to be part of. I too am around the Reading area...seems us southerns are making a dent into the 'mostly' northern bunch!

WOW Coincidentally my mum had a Moggy ragtop too, & I also have fond memories of those times. ( albeit not quite of the iconically Deegee paintbrush caliber)

What norther bunch is that mate.? Most seem to be right down there in the Midlands.

Anyone higher than London are northerners lol!

Yep....once you get North of the Watford Gap you're into the hinterlands with this crew....go ahead, ask them about gravy or black pudding......make it a trick question...sommit like "Do chips & gravy come with gravy on them??"

We always get a bag of chips and a carton of gravy so we can dunk them in the gravy but then I would say we are sophisticated northerners

Eee appen I'll take whippet out for stroll now...from the tropical South...

Welcome along. The guys here love a bit of a ride to north Wales of you know of any good routes feel free to add it to the 2015 ride thread [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]

Great roads around there.
