Hello from Weston-super-Mare

[Msh]

Evening!

A fairly new rider here (passed in November) from Weston-super-Mare.

I’m not really a social media user, so just trying my best to find what’s going on and what I can get involved with. Unfortunately, not with much success.

Anyway, nice to meet you all!

Hi there and welcome to swb and social media(this is as close to it as I get too).

What have you chosen to ride as your first Bike then?

What have you chosen to ride as your first Bike then?

I’ve gone for a ‘16 Versys 650, it felt like a somewhat sensible starting option so far it’s been quite good!

Welcome to SWB, as you're a bit new to biking, why not look out for one of SWB's 'Friendly' rideouts. They're geared up to suit every level of biking experience or, if you're feeling a tad more confident, not to say adventurous, join one of our more standard rideouts - there's one coming up this coming Sunday, details here: https://www.southwestbikers.com/viewtopic.php?t=102474 . Whatever, have fun, ride safe and I hope we get to see you soon.

Hi Marcus
Welcome to the forum, hopefully to see you on a rideout soon

[Msh]

Thanks all!

I'll absolutely come along to some rides. I am not sure about this weekend, that's quite a distance to the start point - but I'll have a think about it!

[Robbo87]

We're South West Bikers and we have arguably the best English biking roads south of the frozen north right here and a lot of our rides begin in East Devon, often the Wellington/Taunton area too. If you haven't experienced them, do your biking self a favour, join us for one and if you do and then don't think it was worth it I'll buy you a coffee .

I guess you’re right, I’m just making excuses for avoiding sitting on the motorway for an hour - I will try and make it.

Hey Marcus

Welcome to SWB and congrats on getting on 2 wheels you have opened up a world of adventure and joy for many happy days in the future. Hope to see you on a ride out soon. If your still a little unsure on the road look out for "Friendly" ride outs as you know these are run at published speed limits and very sociable

Welcome! And congratulations on getting the Versys! Hope you have a lot of fun with it : )

Cracking bike to start on, and vastly underrated.
Earlier models were a bit visually challenged but got better looking after the 1st update. Engine was the basis of TT winning Super Twins category, and I happily toured Switzerland on one 10 years ago. Nothing went wrong and I sold it for what I paid for it, which has never happened to me before or since

Welcome aboard
