Mr Slow out riding!

Post by WustaBill44 »

Hello Motorcyclists, I found the Nov/Dec issue of A B R Magazine at Droitwich leisure Centre café whilst recovering from their over hot steam room and sauna! The magazine is a nice change from the usual 'knees down' or old bike magazine. It was lovely to read of motorcyclists riding off into parts unknown. I myself ride all the year round exploring the Worcestershire country lanes on my Chinese copy of a Honda Innova. Its only 112cc but sips petrol and does not need a winch to pick it up if one.. 'goes over'... like I did last year in a dark very muddy country lane! I may well have a subscription as its only £18 or so. I have to use a air cushion seat as some fool in a Austin Maxi knocked me off my Yamaha in 1975 and nearly killed me. Strange is it not that my pains come from events years ago?!

Welcome Wusta,

This is a friendly forum with loads going on. The beauty of this "adventure" scene as there are all sorts here doing all sort on all sorts of bikes.

An adventure is the dark lane you talk about to a full on round the world trip. The site encourages all.

Safe riding

Welcome from Bristol too.
Nothing wrong with a smaller bike, in fact I'm fast coming round to the idea that you see more when on something smaller. I spent a week in the mountains of Andalucia on a YBR125 and loved it so much that I've just picked up a CG125 this morning before breakfast.... Now that's how to start a day :)
Anyway hope to see you at a meet sometime
Cheers
