Fantasic, now you can really enjoy this lovely weather. Went to Box last night and it was such a beautiful evening, all the better for being on the bike.
Only eight of us there, I guess everyone was watching the footie? ':rock:'

Still Smillin !!

Burger, yep sidewinders smile is as big as mine !  Life just aint never gonna be the same again.

Weaver,  I hope that I can come to Devon on the bike but I am wary as the bike is higher than I would have liked, in truth there is very little that would fit at 4ft 11..  so I know have to learn the skills and coping methods in order to ride safely.  But I have three good friends who are all sports bike riders who are happy to help me get my skills up.  So I will work like hell and hopefully be there on my bike.. gives me a goal to aim for  '<img'>

Gloria ! Thank you, the theory is the next one, hopefully after travelling to Scotland in September on the bike I will be fit, ready and able for the practical.

Grandma, after reading Gloria's write up about box hill I cannot wait to find it ! Football what football ! nothin else exsisted yesterday !

Thank you everyone, OK any tips on riding a bike that is a little bit bigger than your height..   ':oops'

Get some stabilisers  ':p'    ....

Only kidding. They do tiebars or lowering kits for many so think of that when looking to buy a bike(check its available for yours), also you can cut away a good part of the seat to lower bum height.

We'll have to get you some made to measure boots with big platforms inside like they already make.

Erm I'll go and have another think and get back to you  '<img'>

You and Strummin Ronin have got something in common.  Look at her signature...
