(thumbs) thank you Brenhden. Somerset is beautiful, you're very lucky.

I think I've just been told off!! lol. I have apologised, but I am not sure I am working this bloody forum writing stuff properly. What is the difference to 'quick reply' and 'reply'. I am not sure if I am doing this right? Please could you let me know if you can read my replies to all the lovely messages I am getting, thank you :)

Full of beans hey! :woohoo:

Benhden, I heard so many great reviews about the Street Triple I tried one out and loved it. But I have only ever ridden a Suzuki 650 Gladius while I was learning, it was the schools bike, so I can only compare it to that one. (thumbs)

I don't know the difference either, I can see a lot of posts on here so I think you are doing it right.

Be prepared for the 'rough and tumble' of the forum. The is a lot of banter on here...

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.
