Re: New riders out there in/near Thames valley area
I did just this the day I bought my 1st VFR. Went to Kings Ride Business Park in Crowthorne. Took it to 4'000 rpm, eased of the gas and then pinned it. It's the only intentional wheelie I've ever done and I very nearly flipped it going onto a main road. Maybe my technique was flawed........

Re: New riders out there in/near Thames valley area
Yo, I?m a newb to the forum, joined yesterday. Was told about the TV section so I thought I?d pop in to say hi. I live in Witney, right in the top left of the TV area.
Anyway just wondering if i could join you lot for a spin some time? Though i'v only ridden in a group 2X |

Re: New riders out there in/near Thames valley area
Wow didn't think there be a rideout that soon near. Unfortunantly i got to wait another 4 weeks for a broken thumb to fix till i can go for a spin. How regular are the ride outs near me?

Re: New riders out there in/near Thames valley area
As the weather improves i expect we'll try to get out as much as possible. I would think there will be something happening, on a lot of the weekends.
When TonyK is off work(he works shifts) we(+fury ginger one) also quite often go for a spin during the week. |

Rideout's depend largely on the weather as the TV lot seem to think that their bikes will dissolve if it rains. Rideouts thus far have been fairly regular - roughly once a week. We try to have a combination of smaller morning or afternoon runs combined with occational day long rides such as our last one to Brighton. Shame you cant make tomorrow's ride but I hope that you will come and meet us on Tuesday at the Shire. You can come by car if your thumb is dodgy and there should be people there from 6pm onwards. Personally I usually arrive at 7.30 cause I commute from London. Jon PS - the Ape may look like a friendly creature but please dont feed him as he will bite.
