Hi there

Off-topic Newbies
1

I have heard LondonBikers mentioned a few times so have decided to check it out. I only recently took up motorcycling in order to do a charity ride this December plus it was the logical progression after getting around London first on my rollerblades and then by bicycle.

So far so good. Learning to ride over this last winter has meant that it has been a positive joy to ride during the summer. I should have listened

One of the best things I have found about biking is how friendly the motorcycle community is. I just realised that I missed the newbie night but I hope to make it to the next one.

Ciao for now,

Annette

ps. I don’t ride a sports bike – instead I ride a bmw f650 – am I still allowed on the site?

Ello and welcome to LB. Ya BMW is cool, look out for MacP, has a similar bike.

A charity ride in december you say, look out for out London Air Ambulance ride posts which is happening in November I believe.

Get yourself down to Cubana at waterloo tomorrow night, the regular LB wednesday night haunt… cant get a friendlier place.

Ride safe.

And see you are planning a long trip… seems like a worthy cause! Nice one. If am at cubana tomorrow and so are you, you can tell me all about it.

Don’t worry I ride a 650GS so you won’t be the only one taking stick.

Welcome to Londonbikers Annette I just joined to.

Dang, DA, you’re REAL fast now the crutches have gone! Haven’t managed to get to a SINGLE newbie before you! Poor things, we’ll be recognisable at the Newbie meet not by the terrified looks on our faces but by the bruises all over us!

Hoping to make it to the November Newbie meet, Annette if you go you certainly won’t be the only newbie or the only non-sports bike rider. Welcome.

Good morning and welcome to the LBs. I don’t ride a sports bike either so no problem what you ride

Welcome!

As you can see it’s not all sports bikes - Which is a very good thing!

11

Welcome to LB,

Ahh, am getting an old BMW back ont he road for the winter this year; maybe see ya on a rideout or meet sometime.

Keep it rubber side down.

Hey Annette, welcome to LB! It doesn’t matter what you ride, LB is for riders, not bikes! All are welcome, even Ginger. Hope to see you at Cubana tonight?

13

Welcome aboard!

14

Welcome, its OK not to have a sportsbike, if you get the drinks in . Seriously, that is a nice bike, how are you finding it? I find BMWs a bit heavy?

15

Thanks to all that said hello at the Cubana night! See you next time.

Annette

Hey Annette

Good to meet you last night, see you around!

Well hello good evening and welcome to this post. I’m angryjonny and a few of you had the misfortune of meeting me last night at Cubana where I was going by my “real life” name of Jon. I came along with Annette to offer moral support but ended up cowering quietly in the shadows because (as I tend to find out in situations such as that) I’m a social retard. However, in situations like this where I can hide behind the anonymity of an internet pseudonym I tend to be much louder. Just as long as no-one finds out my real name, or the fact that I live in Ealing.

Damn.

Anyway, I thought I’d tag myself onto Annette’s “Hi There” thread because I’m not worthy of a thread of my own. Yes I am. I am great. No, I suck. My personality is placid but my self-esteem is bi-polar and fuelled mainly by alcohol.

This disappointing first-post has been brought to you by the word “dreary”, the colour beige and the politician John Selwyn Gummer. Thank you and good night.

Nice to meet you both last night
