Hi, I have been lurking on here for the last month or so and thought I'd better say hello to the regulars, I'm based in the north so cabin fever up here is well set in due to the weather at present.
I have been riding for about 22 years and am definitely now a fully paid up member of the fair weather riders club, you would struggle standing up on the roads up here atm let alone try to ride a 200kg machine ( I used to ride all weathers until someone educated me in the ways of the car, and I'm not missing being out freezing myself to the core in the sub zero conditions we're currently experiencing.
So anyway hello and are there any other northerners on here ?

What's the north? If you're from London it starts at Watford, if you're from Newcastle it starts at Middlesbrough.I have been riding for about 22 years and am definitely now a fully paid up member of the fair weather riders club, you would struggle standing up on the roads up here atm let alone try to ride a 200kg machine ( I used to ride all weathers until someone educated me in the ways of the car, and I'm not missing being out freezing myself to the core in the sub zero conditions we're currently experiencing.

Hi,
Lots of Northerners on here. You can normally spot them by their argumentative nature and poor spelling.
Southerners identify themselves by starting threads about their miserable commutes or about their motorcycle being stolen.
Welcome.

Thanks for the welcome,
I will apologise to all southerners affected by the poor spelling and grammar from your northern cousins. Unfortunately our education budgets have been plundered by the rich south for centuries so it's not really our fault.
On the plus side of living north of Leeds we do have some fantastic roads and a relatively low crime rate (apart from the huge cannabis factories uncovered on a daily basis) and when the sun does eventually shine for about four months of the year, it is actually quite a nice place to live and ride motorcycle's ( if one can actually afford them ) due to the shocking unemployment levels and death of manufacturing

Aye, hello.
What part of the north! are you from?
Thanks for all the welcomes everyone, What part of the north! are you from?
I reside in County Durham
And for all those asking the north starts roughly at Yorkshire for me but clearly I'm wrong as usual ( lack of proper education system strikes again)

There's a definate clique on here, there's a north / south devide and of course the Scottish but no one likes them anyway.

Morpeth is distinctively southern, regards from Wooler. There's a definate clique on here, there's a north / south devide and of course the Scottish but no one likes them anyway.

You both have my sympathy, it is absolutely freezing cold here today in the deerness valley so I can imagine you both are experiencing similar weather.It made me laugh the other week when someone, obviously in the south put up pictures of a three plus hour ride out, if you attempted that here at the moment you would either end up on your arse, in hospital with frostbite or at very best caked in inches of road salt

I found some of the car people a bit odd, There's a definate clique on here, there's a north / south devide and of course the Scottish but no one likes them anyway.
I asked some advice on whether or not a certain type of cylinder head that stipulates you cannot skim could be, and no one actually answered what I asked them, I just got told off for not fixing it and being basically called a timewaster
