The Bike Experience In The News - SV650.org

I know there are some on this forum who support/ participate/ interested in the Bike Experience and those who have no idea what I’m talking about. So to make things clearer last Wednesday we were joined not only by BBC Radio Wiltshire, but by BBC Points West. The report went out last night and an edited version is now available on line from the BBC News website. So here it is…

More information on The Bike Experience is here.

I'm all for this kind of thing, and have been to a couple of the NABD events in the past, been meaning to pop down there at some point (although I have enough difficulties holding my own bike up, let along someone elses), but riding within physical limitations is something I'm well aware of and thoroughly applaud any efforts to help people follow their passion.

I see the next is Wednesday the 26th, never know I might turn up then.

Cheers Mark.

Talon will be at Cadwell this weekend (21st,22nd,23rd). I have so much respect for anyone who can handle a race bike, but I'm in awe of disabled riders on race bikes

Cheers Mark.

I think that qualifies as understatement of the year.
