Am I paranoid

[thehollowmen]

Welcome to the madhouse

Yes you're a little paranoid, we all were at some stage.
If you've got a friend or a family member who bikes, get them to bring you up to play... maybe have them attend a small ride or something with you.

Its just the usual, don't touch stuff that isn't yours, taking a step back from the bike when you look at the whole thing so drool doesn't land on it... the usual polite stuff.

Welcome, and I hope to see you around... maybe when I get enough time to come up for a ride :-)

I, for one, wouldn't be paranoid if my phone wasn't being tapped, spyware wasn't monitoring everything I typed on my computer, that black four-door sedan didn't follow me everywhere I go, and every shop assistant I met didn't already know my name...

[justsomeguy]

Shit yes... I mean without these young guys who is going to pick us up when we fall down and attract all the 'hot chicks'?

you guys are alright

[Ms Piggy]

That's right. Didn't we meet in the mens loos at the "Bristol"? :spudbooge

No I was trying to push you outta the way so I could get into the ladies!

Did he happen to say to you on the way past...
"The mens loos don't have a urinal?"

[FzerozeroT]

why is being thought of as a newbie a bad thing? you get the "older wiser teacher" types who are extra nice to you giving advice and free beers.

I believe it was something like that.

I STILL cant outrun that sedan... oh...hang on.... its just a spot on my contacts...

As for family, my uncle used to be an avid motorcycle fiend many years ago until one fateful night where he was 4 times over the limit and took his bike for a blat. Came worse end of the stick and almost died. Never been the same again.

As for free beer, sounds great, only one problem, I don't drink.

[riffer]

Hey Ramius - is that your bike I see parked outside AT&T House on Murphy Street most days is it?

Hey Ram

One of the scariest things I ever done was turning up for my first KB ride. I have a bike and I love bikes but hell I knew no way in hell I be able to keep up. And you guessed it ...lost at second turn off (better than some mind you - Duckman you still hiding out there ).

Most where brave enuff to come and say hi as I stood out a lil more than the others as the only gal there....but damn what a great day and I meet some fantastic people. Though I dont go on many rides now I think I have made some cool biker friends. Those that turned up to our Red Ribbon ride and said hiya MD made my day

They wait for me - damn near finished their lunch before I potter up but no one is ever critical and always push the idea of ride your limit. And have I learnt anything about bikes? HELL YES and some! Get out there and meet the crew

IMHO MD

[Ramius]

Howdy.

Nah, my bike stays in the garage during the day and comes out at night and on the weekend. Have no idea where Murphy street is. However, I will be out more than my bike is parked up because I still have 600km to knock off in 10 days.
