New rider from South Bucks

Post by caecilius »

Hello Everyone, I'm a Beverly 350 rider from Marlow in Bucks. I've come late to the scene - I got a bike and my scooter licence just 6 years ago. I've been mostly hanging out on the German Beverly forum and I've joined them for a couple of their annual rideouts but it would be nice to find something more local. I'm retired now, so I have a bit more time for leisure activities.

I just got back from my latest Dutch/German tour - this time on my own. I stayed in hotels but did a bit of self-catering. I took the Harwich - Hook route using the 10% discount that they offer bikers in the summer. Glad to have avoided the Dover chaos that is reported this weekend.

Welcome Alan.
I too utilise a McVitie's Victoria biscuit tin for storage! Just right for under the Tmax seat.

Alan welcome

Despite only 6 years riding it sounds like you've made up time in touring abroad.

Love the photo as and perhaps meet one day on a ride out and hear more of your tours.

Vespa GTS300 Super for practical runabout, Triumph Tiger Explorer for conquering the planet. Car almost obsolete.

Thanks, guys, for the welcome. I'm feeling at home already.

I bought some UHT milk sticks from Amazon before I went - they were perfect for a nice brew. I nicked the McVities tin off my mum. All the kit inc kettle stows away in it.
