Adventure Bike Rider Forum

Hi all, thought after some months of reading the magazine I'd finally pop my head in to the forums and say hello.

I have a GSA1150 which was bought last year in favour of an FJR1300 (long story - but one's passage to the dark side was fun to say the least).

Myself and a friend are planning a trip across the States in 2012 and have been busily doing progressively longer rides to acclimatise ourselves (now up to 400 mile round trips) with a view to a 4 day tour to Italy via some mountainy things in a few weeks.

Hoping to come on a couple of the rallies and say hello - ABR is sort of local to me so the Midlands ones look good.

Hello mate and welcome to the forum. It's a cracking place full of a variety of knowledge and experiences so feel free to jump in with questions, advice and ponderings.

Nice bike pic.

Hi Owen, good to have you on board.

Check out the Midlands Rally and if the dates are good put your name down.

Let the other guys in the unit know as they told me they were interested in getting some mud on their tyres and I can guarantee that if they fancy taking on the Enduro trail.

Welcome to ABR mate, excellent choice of bike, now, whats that name all about?

Aha!

Well its a name that sort of stuck - mainly cos I don't have the smallest whippet style bodywork lets say.

Its also (sad but true) my MMO name.

Ooo, looking good for a ride out on Sunday, need to check with Kenno & Herbie.
Will need to be back lunchtime though.

Hi & welcome to the sire / forum from Aberdeenshire
