Hi, remember to add yourself to the Member Map
What bikes have you had before or have you just passed?
Re: hi all :) - Enceladus - 08-05-12
passed my test ages ago, but have been off the road bike wise for about 10 years.
previously had a suzuki gs500 as a commuter hack, but ridden a few fazers and loved them, so as soon as i was in a more stable financial (and storage) position, i ordered my 600.
hopefully will take delivery this week or early next.

Re: hi all :) - Enceladus - 09-05-12

http://fishandchipsat149.co.uk/

Re: hi all :) - badger - 11-05-12

) are planning a trip up this way, let me know and i'll let you in on some of the cracking roads round here 
Re: hi all :) - badger - 12-05-12
nice one, i'll put it on my list of to do's on a saturday. on the few occasions i have been up to brid or scarborough usually use the A161 to goole then the rest of the way on the a614. wuld be good to try some different roads?
Re: hi all :) - Enceladus - 12-05-12
the 614 is ok, but with it being the main road and usually quite busy, there isn't much chance to have a "play".
as an alternative i'd suggest the following from howden. (hope this works!)

some nice twisty bits, some good straights, and normally not that busy.
just watch out for a tractor or two !
