Hello dogbot!

Seeing as you're local-ish to myself, where abouts do you ride? Wondering if I may have seen you out and about near Usk, Abergavenney

Sort of, yeah. Mostly my trips into Wales are the standard Chepstow - Tintern - Monmouth run then out towards the Forest of Dean, but I've looped round the other way a few times, towards Usk. Not for a while, though.

We tend to do a few Wales runs when the weather warms up. Most of this lot go into hibernation from October.

Nice. I'll keep an eye out for that. I'm only in Bristol, so the South West is my easily accessible oyster.

Ah okay.. something you might like is the Skenfrith road between Ross-on-Wye and Abergavenney.. very nice B-road

The Tintern road is so busy with Traffic I avoid it like the plague, the Usk Roads are much quieter albeit not as nice scenery down there.

I'm looking forward to a Welsh shakedown run of the bike!

Yeah, honestly I haven't been on the Tintern road in about 2 years, because last time it was just covered in slow moving squids in branded gear and big "fast" bikes. Sigh. I prefer the Monmouth > Forest of Dean > Gloucester bit of that route nowadays.

Tbh, scenery is a bonus, but it's not really what I'm there for. Any recommendations appreciated.

I'll have a look at some routes when the ice goes from the roads.

Hi folks,

Just signed up for the new site. I was on the old site as Hoodlum but haven't been active for a number of years after falling out with bikes for a bit. Think I was last on here about 2008/9 maybe a bit later.

Back on now though after getting myself a nice Sprint ST at tail end of last year.

I live up in Scotland with my wife and two kids, 8 and 10. As well as biking, I waste my spare time cycling and doing karate.

Bike wise I had a Bandit for a couple of years after passing my test in 2002 then fell in love with my old Daytona 650, (in yellow which everyone knows was the fast one). Nothing since then until recently.

Off to Black Forrest and B500 in June. Looking forward to spending a lot of time getting my ass re-intimated with the saddle.

Looking forward to sharing in some bike related banter on here again.

Hello.

Wasn't you a copper? Think I remember the name anyway.

200th member too. I think you win a prize for that. Ask Kwacky, Think it involves gaffa tape and a hotel room

The very same, you have a good memory. Still there but no longer with the Darkside!

200th member! Nice.

Hey sexy, pucker up, I go in dry

Nice to see you back

Just be gentle when you peel the gaffa tape back off!!!

Welcome in enjoy the site [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]

Hi there and welcome watch out last time Kwacky rode me he put me in hospital and I had to tell everyone I had a bike accident. He's a ruff boy.

Welcome 20th member hood to see you black.

B500 and black forest is epic. Been twice and some great roads in the area but be careful on the B500 can catch you out in places and been some nasty accidents.

Cheers guys.

I'll hopefully be OK Blade, only problem might be getting distracted by the fantastic scenery. We've git a mix of bikes, even a Harley so speed won't be an issue.

You'll be going back there if you don't shut your mouth
