The MotorBike Forum

Hey all,

Thought i would poke my nose in here and introduce myself. Got a post in the newbie section aswell.

I'm from Paisley and drive an 06 R1. Regularly out myself heading towards arrochar and inverarry. Guys i usually head out with are pulling excuses out the sky to not make it out for a run haha. If anyone is out and about drop me a message and ill tag along.

Anyone from Glasgow any advice on where abouts to go get good practice and confidence on the bike... learner 125 here

Hi there, I’m new to this website, are there any 125 riders near Glasgow. I’m 17 in a couple of weeks and only know one other rider.

Looking for some folk local to meet up with for some ride outs when the better weather comes. Usually out and about myself but getting boring now. All my mates have either sold up and got into something else or just don't like bikes (weirdos)

Hi Folks,

Just joined the forum and keen to find out who's nearby...anyone fancy meeting up in the city centre one evening/weekend and taking a ride through east/mid/west lothian?

Cheers,

I've recently returned to biking as a treatment for depression and anxiety. Many of my friends and family think I'm crazy, saying things like if you want an adrenaline rush to clear your mind, go for a run or if you want to relax, do something like Yoga or Mindfulness ! It does make me wonder if these people know me 🤔! Anyway I've just got a new bike (Honda CMX500 Rebel) in September and planning to ride to work, but anyone interested in some shortish ride outs over the winter, perhaps adhoc as...

Bit of a long shot but anyone local or planning a ride out up this way over the next 10 days? I’m working in Thurso (travelled from Manchester) and I’ve brought my bike in the van so I can ride some of the local roads and take a photo of my bike at the John o’ groats sign of course!

Hey guys and girls!

So I’m new at riding and wanting to see if there’s anyone near me that would like to come out to bike with me?

I’m slowly getting the confidence up, but would really appreciate the company.

Riding a HondaCBR125R.

I have a Honda Vision 110 from 2012 which seriously needs to see a good mechanic. I am new to the area of motorbikes in Edinburgh and I was wondering if you could recommend a trustworthy mechanic.
I have booked with Harley Davison but I am worry they are not used to scooters and could also be very expensive. What about Mark1? I live in Morningside by the way.
Thanks for the help.

I would like to tour scotland for about 2 weeks starting from leeds stopping at b and bs to old for camping 64 got a BMW r80rt any one interested?
Jem

I’m new on a 125. :D
Looking to organise a ride out.
I’m in Clydebank area looking for other riders in the area to get some more road experience.
We should be making maximum use of the great weather.

Post up with any suggestions that suit you.
Maybe a midweek and/or weekend.
Be good to get a few peoples ideas.

Hiya
Just new to this forum. I'm from renfrewshire looking for any learners like myself who fancy a wee jaunt, laugh n share tips etc.

I'm from just outside Glasgow in Bellshill. Got my cbt two weeks ago still finding my feet on the roads, looking forward to some summer rides.

Hi
I´ll go to Scotland from the 4 to the 14 of august.
I'll start the trip on the 2 of august, travel by France and in two days ai¡ll take the ferry Calais-Dover. Then I'll go to Edimburg. Let's see! The first time driving in the wrong side angel , speed in miles and unknowing radars.

At the moment, I have booking where to sleep, and after talking with some friends who visited Scotland or live in Britain, and some other british motards I'm think the routes:

Edimburgo 4-7 AUGUST
Nairn 7-8...

anyone interested for a ride tomorrow sunday 18.06?the i'm located in falkirk.

cheers

So is anyone from my neck of the woods?

Would like to get some ride outs going when the nicer weather rocks up

Some really nice roads my way and can smash some of the challenge 100 if your involved

Anybody on here in Northeast Scotland. I'm in Huntly for a week then heading to John O Groats, then down the west coast. Got some routes off Throttled that I'm gonna try.

Hi all,

Riding up to Dumfries from Harrogate tomorrow and staying at a hotel there. anyone have any suggestions on the best rides out of there. We'll probably do a big route round the SW there before moving further up on Sat/Sun.

Any suggestions on the best rides round there?

Regards

Andrew

Hi I ride a 125cc supermoto n just looking for people to ride with, if your in the Glasgow area hit me up.

Not sure whether this is the right place or not, but I haven't found a better one. I'm new to glasgow, and I don't know anything, like John Snow. Does anyone knows a mechanic I could trust? Thanks!

Or even south of the border folk, if they are willing to travel!

Appreciate that it's starting to get colder (and will continue to do so) but that doesn't mean to say we can't ride out. Nothing a fleece and a spine can't solve :mrgreen:

I'll be back in the UK around the 3rd week in October until mid-November, so I was possibly thinking about hitting the A82/A83 to Inveraray or even head down to Troon or Saltcoats.... somewhere that does a decent fish supper! Nothing is set in stone, we can...

New to the forum , passed my DAS on Friday. Got my bike and the bug. Are there any regular meets in our area ?

Was out all day today but a bit of company would be ideal.

Hi, I'm new to this site and am looking for a regular ride out in the Edinburgh / West Lothian area. Any advice would be handy. I know that there used to be one on a Tuesday night that ran from the Lizzie Brice petrol station in Livingston a year or two ago. Is this still running ?

Is anyone free tomorrow for a little ride out? its to be nice weather and it would be nice to know a few bikers from Scotland. I'm not sure what to do in a meet but I'm up for giving one a go :) Please reply if you are free and are up for meeting tomorrow.

Thanks,

Had an explore and Abington to the A76 via Leadhills and Wanlockhead (B797) is a great road and climb

... 1&t=m&z=11

The Mennock Pass down from Wanlockhead to the A76 is the best part, twisting, narrow and I saw people panning for gold in the river!

The road surface is good, just watch for sheep.

Just a quick post to ask if any folk fancy getting together to start rideouts to see the glorious sights of Scotland.

I passed my Mod 2 test earlier this year BTW so I am not a Valentino Rossi or anywhere near at this early stage of my biking life.

Cheers guys + gals

Don't go on this road. It has huge rocks

goes very high

there are massive beasts

warnings of other beasts

and very little chance for sustenance

This is definitely a road to avoid.......

Me and my brother took the bikes out for a quick rideout over to Loch Lomond as the weather was fine last night. The ride was was better by passing a group of 20+ female riders (Pretty sure they were all female) going the other way led by a lassie in a pink helmet!

It was great to see, and by the way, everyone one the waved/nodded (Per previous nodding topic) - Thats the way it should be.

If you were one of these females - Made my night, you all looked great!!

Cheers
