| Hi,
It seems we have many members that live in England and I have started this new section to see if it will help some of them organize rides. The reason I haven't started one for the U.S. or other countries is since the U.S. is so large and I would have to start many different sections in the U.S. and also because I'm not sure how this will work out.
I am experimenting with this for now and am more than willing to expand if this works out. We have many members from England and since England is kind of an island it may work best there at first. Again, please don't be offended if your country or continent has been left out.
If you live in England, or in Europe, and plan to ride to England please use this section to see if you can set up meet points or rides with others there. Also, please post pictures of all the riders and some nice pictures of the countryside too.
Also, please give me feedback to see if this section is worth having and if I can add improvements too. And if you are in another part of the world and think a section like this can help out please get back to me.
I ask for your patience to see if this works and if it doesn't I can just delete this section and just say " Well I tried". _________________ Ride safe, JeffR 2007 Silver Wing (30,000 miles) 2005 Majesty 400 (sold 12,500 miles) 2004 Reflex (sold 3,500 miles) Givi Windshield, top case, vista cruise, power commander, dr pulley sliders, air hawk seat pad, (J.

| It might be a good idea if the UK members could put their location under their avatar (saves going into individual profiles), then at least we'd have an idea where we all are!

| Good idea,
We may have a small island but our roads are so crap that 'long hauls' are often out of the question. (At least we don't have to carry spare petrol!)

| Hi Walmac and Tamjay,
Whereabouts in Yellowbelly land are you both? I'm in Louth, but wifey and me tour round the county and beyond when the weather (and work!!) allow. Wouldn't mind meeting up sometime.

Kurt,
I just spoke with PJA and he said he wouldn't get caught riding with someone from Belmont, Perth. I tried to stand up and defend you but he wasn't having any of that. _________________ Ride safe, JeffR 2007 Silver Wing (30,000 miles) 2005 Majesty 400 (sold 12,500 miles) 2004 Reflex (sold 3,500 miles) Givi Windshield, top case, vista cruise, power commander, dr pulley sliders, air hawk seat pad, (J.

| I know for a fact that you guys at admin can do a 'mass email' - so please can you trawl the membership list and 'ping' everyone with a UK location and let them know that this area now exists please.
Thank You. |

| A great idea as there appears to be quite a number of forum members here in the UK that live in England.
I live in Scotland however and was wondering if there are any other Scottish members.
Also I was wondering how many UK members there are in total i.e Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Distance would prohibit my meeting up with other UK members on a regular basis however I would be very pleased to be able to meet up now and again with local forum members. |

Heh Mitch
It would be a fair old trek for me and I'm way ooop north, I think there is a member from Penrith, maybe a poll on the new section would answer the questions.

| Sounds like a good idea, a Brit forum section. I've been a member for some years but I've not posted for a while.
I was 600ted but I couldn't log on so I've had to use another email address and login details.
I have a bordeaux red 2001 Swing with givi box and laminar lips.
Ministry test tomorrow.....she'll be ok though. Longest run...Dijon to Manchester ( home ) in one hit and no sore bum !
Will keep more of an eye on the site now !

| Skeggy LOL - Haven't been there for a while - since I was a kid. I wonder if it's changed much Infact I remember the last time I went my brother and I got banned out of every arcade in the place...... something to do with the little device he had built to 'fiddle' the one armed bandits I think....... |

You're not that old Skippy, so it can't have changed that much!! Nice theatre for live shows, The Embassy Centre, seen a few of the 60/70/80's bands doing revival shows there. Still got 'comforts' though, and chavs as well now!
