Sorry Micksea, after this ^^^^ and a few single malts I couldn't resist.

You have to admit though, if a new lady joins an posts and introduction, she gets twice as many replies as any new bloke!!

Welcome to the forum and to biking!

I'm a bit pissed off with my wife at the moment, what you up to Friday night? ;-)
Ya wife might well be pissed off with you :)
She's used to it, I wind her up with comments like that all the time. I've never had an affair, but if I ever did I don't think I'd have to lie about it because she'd assume it was a wind up.

Don't forget to come over this way and see the north Antrim Coast and the Wild Atlantic Way.
hi and thank you for welcoming me. wow a 1400, shit she must be good at this bike riding! I shall look you up if ever I get out that way, you never know.
A few of us meet up for breakfast once a month. Last month three serious trikes turned up. All women riders. Due to a certain anomaly over here they are ridden on a car licence.

I go to France every year and have friends there who both ride various bikes. She has a BMW F800ST and was complaining her husband was always riding off ahead on his [mint] K100RS. Then he bought a Ducati and it got worse. Last year when we were there he got yet another Ducati making it 4 bikes in the shed. She took out his old one and strangely the problem resolved itself. So now when they go somewhere the tradition that he got there first and had the coffees up on the table has ended and they now roll up together. Still got 4 bikes in the shed, one being the K100RS which my friend I travel with bought to leave in France for occasional flying visits.

Bottom line, don't let anyone stop you. And do visit from one end to the other. Northern Ireland, the Mournes, the North Antrim Coast A2 road and Torr Head all worth a visit in their own right. In good weather many of these places, like Scotland and the South West are in my opinion better than anything more 'exotic' places have to offer. People will always stop and talk to you.
Thanks for the encouragement. I have joined a club near me where they meet once a month on a Sunday morning but haven't had the confidence to join in yet, hopefully soon though :) I have got soooo much to learn, this is just the beginning of a very long road ahead.
