I was in the same place about 4 years ago, started on a GN, cos' wanted a spankin' new bike and it was a spankin' price, it wasnt long till i was looking for a bigger bike. Always rides happening Minnie, just keep an eye for them in the Meetings/Events Forum, there's a 250 ride every other weekend, run by Maverick, you can view the thread by clicking on Forums and scrolling down to club 250 (i think)....welcome to KB...

I know them both and they're both deserving of their respective names. I'd hate to be VERY drunk in their presence... I reckon there'd be shaved eyebrows, green hair and all manner of "changes" made to one's person during those hours of unconsciousness.

Lovely people though.
