Re: B.E = Biker Expats..
 

Hey BB,

Just trying to catch up before shooting off to work. Will have a look at that site with Michael later on today. Thanks ;)

Your bike is lovely....and like yourself, Michael hadn't ridden for years and then got back on the saddle last year......with me in tow! I know how to balance well *lol*

We bought a 125 cc scooter last summer, which is a godsend during the summer months with parking being what it is......but have definitely decided to keep the scooter for work purposes and buy something special for ourselves. Michael will be taking his test on the 26th so please wish him luck ;)

Martha, balance is all in the hips you know...nudge nudge..say no more..!!
I am not fond of scooters, I have fallen off of them toooo many times..I obviously dont have the hips for them .....Michael will pass no problemo, getting lots of practise on the scooter, as long as he is not getting any bad habits..lots of life savers and practise, practise, practise U turns, when he passes he will be allowed to wear the Village people biker boy gear like me !!
Here is another site for you to check out, I did here there is a 400 coming as well..Good vibes for the 26th... http://www.jinlun.co.uk/ ..:eek:

Re: B.E = Biker Expats..
 

I have tried, I have friends who all go biking on a Sunday, and I just cant get over the fact that you are on 2 wheels, go very fast and really have very little control over your own destiny, sorry it seems like sheer folly to me, but good on ya for doing it.

Re: B.E = Biker Expats..
 

That's why it's so good..thanks for trying...:eek:

Re: B.E = Biker Expats..
 

Hey Bb,

We have already picked out our village people biker boy/girl gear.....just waiting to pass the test so we can go and actually buy the stuff *lol*

Thanks for the links and the good vibes too! ;)

Re: B.E = Biker Expats..
 

No.... not matching leathers ;-)

Re: B.E = Biker Expats..
 

nice!

Re: B.E = Biker Expats..
 

Hey MnM, I have visions of you and Michael biking a long the coast roads with the wind in your hair, well under your helmets any way, I shoudn't really say this as it is ilegal:unsure: so I hope there is no Brit PC listening in to this, but my best buddy from Glasgow:beer: likes a wee drink or two:beer: :beer: and there's been many a night that her OH has picked her up from a heavy session after work, dressed her in her leathers and then chained her to himself once they are on the bike so he does not loose her on the way home. She said she remembers the first time she rode on the back of his bike (over 25 years ago) he lent one way when they went round a corner and she was worried they would fall off so she lent in the oppersite directions:ohmy: They have spent many happy hours biking through Europe and over into North Afica, she says there is nothing like it, it is just amazing, so I hope you and Michael get on ya bike and hit the road soon.

Re: B.E = Biker Expats..
 

We do too Crispygirl! Can't wait to get that bike and go cruising ;)

I love leathers....the smell, the way they feel on the skin, the texture......everything about them......EXCEPT for wearing them in the heat of the summer. I am sure Michael and I will have a few debates about that! He has already told me that if I don't wear leathers I don't get to ride :(

Loved the story of your friend ;)

Re: B.E = Biker Expats..
 

I tell my Wife the same thing - but I don't mean the Bike!!! ;)

Re: B.E = Biker Expats..
 

*lol*

Michael does not have to persuade me to wear leathers! Believe me ;)

Re: B.E = Biker Expats..
 

oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh leather........:thumbsup:

Re: B.E = Biker Expats..
 

Oh dear!!!.....if there is SUCH a positive response re leather garments, I wonder what the response for corsets would be :rofl: :p
