Hey guys,

I am a new rider, just passed my test last Friday Very Happy

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

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 Wink

Hello John! Waving

LS650... That's the chopper/cruiser type thing right? Much better on pillion carrying than my R1! Laughing

Nice bike anyway, if you like that sort of thing (which i do... just like sportsbikes better Twisted Evil ).

And well done on the test.

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 Wink

Thanks
