Default So who's UK based?

Have been visting this forum for a while now and was wondering how many of us are UK based.

So far I only know of 4.......Blackmer48, SportserSpence, Orangeade & Johnny English.

Who else is out there and what part of the UK are you?

Thanks Steelworker. I did try to do a search on the forum to see if anyone had started a similar thread before.... but missed that one.

Guess it wouldn't do any harm to have a quick recap though as we're heading towards a new riding season.

Like most on here I'm itching to get past the snow & cold to get out on the bike again...and maybe meet up a few likeminded folk.

Always good to know who's nearby...or not.

Hi, I'm in Hampshire too! Near Grayshott/Hindhead Tunnel. Once the weather gets warmer, perhaps we can meet up?

Here's a link to a map showing the whereabouts of XL Forum members - add yourself...

Got an 883R which is idly sitting in the garage while I use public transport to get to work

Whereabouts in North London? That's my old stomping ground.

Born and brought up in Wood Green before being dragged out to the countryside.

It's a bit of a longer journey to the Ace Cafe than it was when I lived in London but it's still my favourite destination.

I know Wood Green (and Turnpike Lane) well. Go through them on my commute into work. I was born and raised in Ponders End, Enfield. Boy has this area changed in the last couple of decades!!
Lots of pubs have been demolished, lots of new housing has been built and lots of traffic has accumulated...

Still, there are some good bits left - Enfield Town still has some nice characterful pubs left!
