.... Trying to arrange a regular Adventure bike coffee morning!! (and full cooked Monty) every Saturday morn. at 10am. Having a regular meeting is a good idea and Squires is ideal. However, be careful that you don't get confused with the riders who are part of the York Advanced Motorcycle group. YA...

Squires Bike Cafe in Sherburn, Yorkshire. It seems that a lot of adventure bikers are meeting up there on a saturday morning http://squires-cafe.co.uk/ Every Saturday morning, around 9-11am the Yorkshire Advanced Motorcycle (YAM) group meet up to take associates (trainees) on observed rides & t...

thanks for the link - I LOVE MERINO!!!
I've bought a few base layers whilst in NZ and have since purchased sweaters - they are amazingly warm and you don't need to wash them as often as synthetics (no matter how much they claim to wick).

thanks Domsday for the report. I did an off road training day with i2imca.com in March. The instructor, Tom, was fantastic and I had a really fun day.

I'm not sure why there are so many threads trying to label people. I ride a bike that suits me and my needs. I like other bikes too but in general, they're not built for a 5'2" woman. I've toured abroad on my own and with friends. Occasionally, I go green laning on a 250. I'm not nor want to be...

...had a look at serow yesterday to tall hi Will, I'm surprised the Serow was too tall. Did your wife sit on it? I'm 5' 2" with a 29" inside leg (which is more important than height). I had a Serow earlier this year (stolen) and it was ideal. The seat appears tall but once I sat on it the...
