Hey guys,
I am a new rider, just passed my test last Friday
I visited Box Hill on my Suzuki LS650 with the missus riding pillion for the first time on Tuesday, it was a shame it was raining though. Glad to get a coffee at Rykas and have a chat with a chap named Steve whom told me that there are events/ride outs that happen fairly regularly over there, it also sounds like a good place to hang out with like minded people.
Cheers,
Jon _________________ Unix is user friendly - it's just picky about it's friends |

Hello and welcome to BHF
It's been rubbish weather of late, so not much is getting much in the way of rideouts but keep you eye open for wobbler runs which are the perfect introduction to group rideouts.
Well done on passing the test _________________ Boxhill Chippendales

Hello John!
LS650... That's the chopper/cruiser type thing right? Much better on pillion carrying than my R1!
Nice bike anyway, if you like that sort of thing (which i do... just like sportsbikes better ).
And well done on the test. _________________ Not man enough for an R1....... FZ1's are cooler anyway |

Hey Tusky,
I heard about the wobbler runs, these sound like a great idea I hope to partake in group rideouts especially when or should if the weather gets better
Thanks _________________ Unix is user friendly - it's just picky about it's friends |
