Hi All,

Just picked up my new GSX650F yesterday :) and wondered if there are others riders in the Derbyshire area - England that is?

Cheers,

Stolly

hi stolly

welcome. from london!

i was hoping to do the peak district run in the next few weeks. hoping to get to matlock bath and then across snakes pass and down to cat & fiddle. then straight back home.

any advice on that area, ie. road conditions, coppers with radar gun, other hazards, etc.

Just watch your speed on those roads, the police have eyes in the sky as well

thats funny. My trip up there last saturday in sh*te weather (don't ask!) was quiet to say the least. No bikers at all for miles around.

Was feeling quite lonely up there! :cry:

I was over the road several times this weekend ... Saturday was cold n horrible ... no other bikes around .. Sunday dawned wet n misty but by lunchtime was wall to wall sunshine .. good few bikes but not as busy as usual on a brite day .. guess the early clag put off the long distance visitors ..

living only a mile from the road makes it kinda easy for me to have a blast when the weather comes good !

I'm aiming for snowdonia this saturday, all 565 miles of riding up to llanberis. Can't wait now that i have my newly acquired airhawk cushion, hein gericke 3-fingered pathan winter gloves and a box of heat packs!

Lets just say i'm taking no chances, but forecast looking good so far...

just watch out for the North Wales police ! they are very heavy handed with bikers .... the chief constable is a madman !

ran a press conference and showed everyone a photo of a decapitated biker after a smash ... didnt even ask the family ...
