Ttaskmaster Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 In order: Ride with: Thames Vale Vultures, my girlfriend, her club, random people from work and all by myself when I feel like it. My group is affiliated with MAG, NABD and sponsors charities such as The Variety Club and Help For Heroes. I ride..... a motorcycle!!!! Okay, okay - I and my other half both ride Custom XVS650 Dragstars. Both clubs ride all sorts, from Cruisers to Tourers, Sports, Sports Tourers, Bike Trikes, Car Trikes, Big Trikes and even an old Ural Sidecar outfit. Who I'd like to be a member of? Shrug........ No aspirations to join any particular Back, Side, front or any other Patch club. I do my own thing as far as possible and am mostly separate from that world. I am on friendly terms with any who are polite enough to smile and say hello. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedOrZed Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I belong to the "Smarties Puking Club" with a select few others worldwide! Well, OK, two members are now in Barbados We did have a club sidecar outfit (CZ 350 thingie) that we tried to register in the club name (as no one person wanted to be associated with it) but DVLA sulked at the word "puking" until we changed it to "party" I did belong to the NABD - my god they can drink let it lapse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas up - Let's Go! Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Me, Myself and I. To me, riding a motorcycle is the essence of being a free spirit whether it's on the 'highway' or the dirt track, no matter it's about being an individual. I am a member of the TRF (Trail Riders Fellowship), but if was being honest thats about preserving my riding pleasure against a large group of idiots, sorry Ramblers, rather than being part of a group. I sometimes ride with a group of friends, but even then I ride my own ride. If I want to stop and have a look around, or explore a different route, that's what I do (after a quick text to tell them I'm going). If I'm off on the trail I take a GPS/GSM tracking device so that my other half knows where I am (she just rings the number and it responds by text with my location, brilliant! £100 from Maplin), just in case something happens! As most bikers do (I find), I'll talk to anyone who is friendly - and having a bike that is a little less ordinary, that happens alot (mostly GS riders, who tend to dribble.......) I've never met a biker who doesn't like to have a chat in a cold petrol station, cafe, lay-by etc. I've never been one to follow the crowd, I think it's being an individual, my mother says I'm just stubborn.

SRJ999 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Me, Myself and I. To me, riding a motorcycle is the essence of being a free spirit whether it's on the 'highway' or the dirt track, no matter it's about being an individual.

I've never been one to follow the crowd, I think it's being an individual, my mother says I'm just stubborn. Ditto, actually. I love to ride the bike, even alone. However, that enjoyment is enhanced if it's a ride with mates but I'm not interested in joining any group. If I want to go out, I'll call someone to see if they're up for it. If not, so be it. I'm not interested in any organised ride outs but I'm also a grumpy old bastid, so that's probably not a bad thing If I'm off on the trail I take a GPS/GSM tracking device so that my other half knows where I am (she just rings the number and it responds by text with my location, brilliant! £100 from Maplin), just in case something happens! What a corking idea. Does it work only in the UK or is it worldwide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas up - Let's Go! Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 What a corking idea. Does it work only in the UK or is it worldwide? Anywhere you can get a GPS lock and a Mobile Phone signal - here in the UK there's not many places you're out of reach. Used it all through Europe last month too.

Grouch Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I only got my 125 in March so I'm not part of any club and none of my close friends have bikes, so at the moment I am riding solo. I did however take a ride to Squire's the other week as a sort of recon mission to find out exactly where it is etc. Even though it was a mid week afternoon there were plenty of bikes there ranging from vintage Triumph's to quads, I had a nosy round and now I know how to get there for next time. I intend on going to one of the regular events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
