Welcome aboard from a misty Somerset.

I went to school in Norfolk, happy days!

Great looking BM, how are you finding it?
And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

Fairly simple, when the music stopped I didn't have a chair?? Seriously I was a hobby flyer then sold the family business and turned my hobby into business, lost the hobby and work more hours now than ever :( :(

Rotary wing stuff, black magic, love the Robo's we'll sort of 0.5 second reaction time to get the collective down, now that keeps your hearing sharp :woohoo:

Ah yes I had the same problem, been here since 76, married a Narfolk girl so I am in it up to my eyes, genuinely classed a a local, even the locals allow me to swear at visitors now

Hi there, yes Norfolk is one of those places, gets under your skin, never thought I would go native but it has gone that way.

Beemer, working well, quite different to my other rides, it just ticks all the boxes, handles well, goes like stink stops on a sixpence, would I buy another one, for sure.

Enjoy and agree Norfolk is a cracking place
Serious question, honestly. What is good about it ? I ask as I am moving house to Martham tomorrow and although pretty, it looks as flat as a witches tit.

Tell me a bit about it from a bikers point of view.
Well it ain't flat, try biking it, unless you are very fit you'll be puffing well after a few miles, mind you it's not Yorkshire either. Martham, well yes it's really flat over there, at one point in time that bit was joined to Holland???

Coast rode ride is good, Well next the Sea, Hunstanton good rides out, Whitwell Station near Lenwade has a great Friday night bask, loads of bikes food and drink on site. Did a Police riding course recently and they took me on roads I have never been on and we had a great time, and the boys in blue were very...........enthusiastic about riding and showed you how to "make progress"

Seriously, Norfolk is a great place to live once you get in the groove

And even when it`s flat there`s always a bloody headwind when you are cycling :angry: From Wiltshire originally and took a long while to get used to the flatness but love it now, the north Norfolk coast is very special and whereas Norwich was pretty dead 40 years ago I love it now, good cinemas and great food and pubs at the riverside (thumbs)

Er no, Norfolk is a horrible place to live, don't come here, the people are awful, stay away for your own safety, we shoot burglars here. We dont like strangers, leave us alone.
