New to the site... and the area!

Post by XWaysJames »

Hi there,

I've recently moved down from Kent to the Dorchester area with my wife and our young daughter. All my biker buddies are all in Kent and as yet I've not come across any other bikers in my local area... I'm sure you're out there.

I ride a Gixxer 600 and go out to play on most weekends when the girls are out playing with their four legged, money sucking equine friend!

Pleasure to have come across this site. I hope to see some of you out on the black stuff some day soon.

Welcome dude, :)

Im new hear myself, and i too come from Kent some 7 years ago.
Its a bit of a change as a biker coming from Kent, as there are just so many bikers in there! And when i came to the SW i thought the place was biker'less! Im not talking about Devon and Cornwall, as there is just shit'loads of us down there! ;)
But over the years I've been here, I seeing more and more. :)

Where is kent are you from?

Hello and welcome!

I reckon if you post up a ride out and head towards WestBay, you'll probably get a few people interested. SWB Tip: Mention 'coffee and CAKE', ;) :D :D
