Title: Hiya from the Peak District
Post by: Fordy on April 13, 2015, 05:58:52 PM: Hi, I just thought I would introduce myself to everyone, I have just bought a really decent, standard K6 (apart from a Motad, hoping to get standards ASAP) I love my bikes and have got a varied small collection from 1921 to 2002. All of them get ridden, I think thats what a bikes for, not to be looked at, hope you all agree.
I have a problem with my Honda which I have posted, hopefully someone can help me.
Here in Derbyshire we have got some really nice roads which suit bikes to a tee, (my '21 triumph struggles a bit on some of the faster roads, 25mph doesn't seem to cut it somehow ;D all the rest love it.

Post by: Rozabikes Tim on April 14, 2015, 04:24:59 PM: Hi and welcome. Peak district is absolutely fab. A bit biased as we have a shop on Bakewell. Just driven through to Leek this morning and Monal Dale this afternoon. This weather and our countryside. Heaven! Wish a had a bike on the road though.....

It's not a required field in registration form.

It is very useful for others as it stops all the "where are you?" posts and offers the prospect of local (face-to-face) help.

Member's choice.
