Previously stealth newbie

Hi all, I’ve been looking through the forum for a while now & you seem like a decent bunch so I thought I’d come out of the shadows.
I’ve been riding for about 5 years all in. In that time I’ve had a Vespa (it got nicked then torched), an SV650S which I adored (it got nicked) and now a lovely new Gloss Black 749 which I adore even more (I’ll kill them if they even try)! I was about to go on track with the SV when it disappeared and I’m still a bit precious about the 749 but am hoping to do it this summer.
Cheers all !



Welcome! We are at Cubana tonight so will we see you there???

Welcome BaggaZee! I know you from somewhere…quite a few of us Ducatisti here!

Sorry to hear about your Vespa, I wouldn’t know what I’d do if I lost mine!

Hope to see your lovely bike soon!

Ah, finally sussed the images.
Hmmm, Cubana, is that the place just South of the river, near Waterloo somewhere? I had one of the best steaks of my life there a few weeks ago! No can do tonight, I’ll definitely be up for going back there sometime though!
Hey Paivi, there are a few names I recognise on here!
Now how do I submit this… Ah!

I would also be a bit precious about your beautiful bike - hopefully we meet up soon.

Welcome to LB

aj…

lurvly bike mate!

Hello BaggaZee! Lovely bike you have there! I know how you feel with the stolen SV, I had a bike nicked as well! You don’t work in Chiswick by any chance do you?

Cheers!
I do indeed, about 50 yards over your right shoulder. How you doing Jay? )

Damn those emoticons!!

Hello fellow Ducatisti

Hope you Enjoy Work

Are they still doing those insane summer events up there?

Hi mate, nice ped. Get an Almax chain if you haven’t already. And a trackday. Don’t worry about taking your brand new £8k bike out on track and caning it…I just did and it didn’t hurt at all

Cheers Mini Mo!
Yep, when possible, not too busy this afternoon obviously!
They are indeed still doing that. This Friday they have one of those freefall machines (massive fan, a flappy suit & lots of bouncy castle around to catch you) and I’m off, I’ll be 100 miles away! Not pleased!

welcome to lb mate see ya round

Cheers andrew&7, it’s what it’s for I suppose, has to be done!

Got an Oxford monster chain, is there something I should know?

Hiya, bike is B E A U T I F U L. am drooling.

Check Almax out in the directory http://londonbikers.com/directory/item.aspx?uid=8a082c86-ab34-4804-b248-86a14eea02ce and have a read of their website.

Some of us have seen them breaking Oxford chains for real, and it takes seconds. Gulp.

Ebike are no longer giving a discount on Oxford chains, as they’re not good enough. Get an Almax one, as it’s apparently the bee’s knees. Got me a nice discount on my insurance, too! LB gets £10 off the price (I’ve got a 2m one, to reach the lamp post, and paid about £150 for it, together with the lock; you’ll also get a carrying case although I can’t see myself carrying this around, as it weighs about 15kg! Next day delivery, too!).

Now I wish I hadn’t seen the pics, poor Vespa!

Hmmm, OK, I’m convinced that my Oxford chain is on pushbike duty from now on. Any opinions on the Monster lock?
I know what you mean about the Vespa, I was almost as gutted as it was!
I can joke about it now!

You’ll need the Superbike not the Monster

Welcome mate, very very nice bike…mmmmmmm
