I Live in Poole, Dorset. Get down to the Quay at Poole on Tuesday's for bike night, 500+ bikes average. Also Pop over to Crescent motorcycles in Verwood. They run a British Superbike team and the owner is also the Manager of the Suzuki Motogp team. They have a large collection of 500cc race bikes and superbikes there. Also we have a tank museum if you like that sort of thing.

I'm up here on the Wirral, but at the moment I'm bikeless (running that is), I've only been back in the UK for a couple of years after 10 years overseas (Thailand and Australia), so I'm not really up to date as to what's going on bike wise here.

Cheers

I can report that 99.9% of me does not reside in the UK.  However, there are hair and fingernail clippings I cannot account for.  There was also that period of time I had dry flaky skin...
Then there was that fun loving Brit lass, long ago, that may well have brought back some of my DNA.  But, she may have moved to Hong Kong, for all I know.

Do they export blood donations from the US to the UK?

So, I guess there could be a small percentage of me enjoying the UK motorcycle scene.  But, not nearly enough to pay even a small percentage of your taxes.

Cheerio!

There are about 40-50 registered users in the UK, but that doesn't mean that they're all active.

I try to collect contact details from most that I spot. Send me yours (by PM). Luton not too far...

So it follows that, on average, 23.6 members of this forum should be in the UK...

Hi stu, i'm up in the northwest of the uk in lancaster  ;)       mick.

Sorry mick yur only nearly half way up north in the UK. I'm up in Orkney, a good 400 + miles further north than Lancaster. I have seen another CB 550 up here but I don't think the guy works a computer at all.

Anyone in Shetland? thats another 80 miles north.

Hi Stu,
I'm another new member, no I don't have a new member, but maybe at my age that may not be a bad idea!
 Anyway, I'm an Essex boy through and through and have just finished putting together a very sweet 1976 CB750 F1 Cafe, will post some pics as soon as the weekend allows me to take some in daylight.

Best of luck

Hi Stu400,

I am 100% in the uk in Norfolk.
I've just signed up to the 400 four forum that you mention.
The picture is of my bike which I did a complete nut & bolt restoration on from August 2004 and finished April 2005. It's currently in a Vac Bag in my shed and I have not ridden it for 18 months due to health problems, but heres hoping :)
