Welcome to the forum. You'r not too far from me in Hampshire. So might have to get out one day for a ride out when its not sheet ice!

Only thing to look out for is the colour. Bright orange is the slowest colour. :mrgreen:

Normally you'll find me round the back end of Portsdown Hill. Theres a lovely set of roads around the A32 through Deanmead to Waterlooville. But always on the look out for new roads. I'm origionaly from Belfast so not tuned in with the area too much yet.

Been meaning to go have a look around Box hill. Hopefully a nice day should get me around there having a ride. Will let you know.

I'll be up for that too being only down the road in Portsmouth. Let me know when you are up for it.

Nothing wrong with orange. They'll love you in Holland anyways.

Not far away in Sevenoaks, Kent, but an easy trip along the M25, so count me in if you're out and about, and I'll drag the sorry old yellow wreck along and see if it lasts the day without breaking down.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
