Having a sniff at LB after meeting many friendly LB faces at todays rideout (A Bikers dying wish). Am strictly not in London as such, but 15 miles past the M25 into North Kent. Am notoriously scared to ride in to that London unless accompanied, but love it when I am there.
I’m on a BMW F800S at the moment, my second bike after passing my test in 04. It’s primarily a toy, but have had some excellent touring times on it, here and abroad, and I am not afraid to ride all year round.
Hi there and welcome to LByou dont have to be in london to be a londonbiker anybody can join the forum we have a member from the usa on here too cheers ginger
Excellent! Can I take you up on that some time? I am fine for the majority of the way, but start getting slightly panicky after Lewisham…or is that just normal in Lewisham anyway ;)?I went to BMM once with Dr Zoidberg off here, but that was ages ago from a different direction. Goose, I’m in Chatham.
hiya yea both myself and goose are in chavland as well Im cool with the A2 and lewisham, its just central london i have problems with, Im out riding most nights after about 9 so if you’re free for a ride just send goose a PM cus i cant get into mines, see you about soon
Hiya, as Angel said, we are both in Chatham as well, just off Chatham Hill.My bikes off the road at the moment so im left to babysit while Angel goes out on her ventures!Lewisham is where the fun begins, all those big roundabouts and crazy car drivers, lmaoI know what your saying though, riding around Medway is a piece of cake compared to London, all you need to remember is that as soon as you get into Lewisham, everyone is trying to kill you, especially on the roundabouts…
Firstly welcome to the madhouse and mines a pint of Kronnie!
To be fair that’s normal for Lewisham!
If you can make it that far and Goose or Angel aren’t available I can take you the rest of the way as I’m in Greenwich, so not far from Lewisham, and it’s an easy and fairly short trip to Borough from me.
Excellent, ta, will give a shout when I next have a Wed off. Work seems to have it in for me with regards to Wednesdays these days, seem to be rostered on every one of them! But I can find Greenwich no probs.
