London for 12 months

[Ger_Tom]

Hi there,

my name is Thomas and I will be in London for a year together with my Monster 1000 S.

I am originally from Munich and used to riding on the countryroads in southern Germany (hence the nic).

Where do you guys meet for weekend rides? I want to go riding on 23/24th April.
Who joins in and shows me where the bends are?
I like to ride speedy but not headless (is that understandable for non-Germans? :burnout: )

See you...
Tom

Here is a picture of my beauty:

Welcome Thomas, nice bike, enjoy your time in the UK.

Unfortunately, I have friends around on the weekend... :rolleyes:

Horrible timing on the start of the season. But the weather will not be nice anyway tomorrow, so I hope for the weekend thereafter :D

oy, current forecast is nice after an early wet start (dry from 6am they reckon)

And that last bit of advice comes all the way from the States. Nice one Dave, I knew there was a linky somewhere. You got shares in the Ace.

Wondering how I get negative points for welcoming people. PD, got room at paranoid house?

:D

"Erste Fahrt" (part of the picture name) means "first ride"... So the temperature was not really important :twisted:
But the roads were clear and the air temp was somewhat at 5°C or so. And I was wearing cloves during riding as well.

But to be honest: I prefer riding when the street temperature is above 10°C and the air above 15°C.


do you use the bike during the week ?
No, not to get to the office. In the evenings from time to time, yes. And I will be having a few days of training in East London. I am thinking of going there by bike. But usually, I don't do distances that don't allow the engine to get warm.

great to meet up with you today Tom :D - shame it was only a morning's ride about, but maybe a longer day next time when you are free.

Nice bike :cool:
