haha, thanks.
I think its fate. Saw it once, liked it. Was on my Riding lesson and my instructor took me to exactly the same garage cause thats where he gets his bikes serviced, and it was just sat there glistening in the sun.
I'm already building a list of what i want to do to it.

Helo there - You're more than welcome to join us.

As we've just had a local ride out it'll probably be spring 2009 by the time we get our fingers out and arrange the next one.

Just joking - I'm sure the ball is well and truly rolling and we'll be out a few more times this summer.

Cheers Keith

Hi Wester,

I pass through Blaby and Countesthorpe most days at about 7:40 and 17:00 to and from work on a silver blue pointy.

where are you getting the bike from ?

Wigstons not a hell hole, I've spent many an hour wandering around there when I was working that way. Its not the middle of the universe I'll grant you but its not that bad. Unless its gone down hill drastically recently anyway.

Best of luck for the test, fingers crossed.

Croeso! Wigston eh? Was at a wedding in Oadby over the weekend. You getting your bike from that little bike shop near St Peters church? He had a couple of nice curvey ones in there and a silver pointy. Can't remember the name of the place atm....

I'm getting her from Spenders Garage, Just out in kibworth. your talking about Chris Sharpe's luckypants, i didnt really look at his stock. I saw the one i have the deposit down on on the way back from midlands superbikes. Then my instructor took me by the garage cause its where he has serviced his bikes, So i kept seeing her. it was like destiny :P.

Where abouts do you work Alan? Wigston aint that bad, its south wigston where it gets nasty, But it appears the little chavs have developed legs, and began to invade my neighbourhood. not good.....

And hovis, I've been riding with a yellow helmet for two years, thats enough for me thanks :P.
