Oops, suppose I should have posted here first...
Male, 43, married, non-smoker, just bought myself a new bike, my first since a brief foray into riding around 20 years ago. Passed my CBT last week, bike went in for its first service on Tuesday this week! Now I'm just looking for ideas of nice rides out, bike-friendly cafes to potter out to and general advice and camaraderie with regards to going in for my direct access sometime next year. Feel free to say hello!
Bought a Lexmoto Ranger. I know people pull faces at Chinese bikes but the build quality is getting better, slowly. Decided on a cruiser rather than a race replica, much more my style, laid back and easy-going. Been busy since I bought it, Datatagged it, put a bracket for a removable back box on it. Also been splurging on extras online.
By day, I drive a big tin box, a Vauxhall Movano MWB van. I know, it'll come in handy with a Chinese bike! The bike is a means to an end - get me back on two wheels, get some practice in and get through my test, then use it as a deposit for my next machine, whatever that may be!
That's enough about me, any suggestions for rides out and good places to stop for a cuppa welcome!
