Newbies...

Hi All,
Welcome to the new look Paisley Bikers Forum, newbies should introduce themselves here..
With your input it should become a useful place for discussion of bike related topics, organisation of ride outs, and general banter.
In the meantime, my card is behind the bar. The drinks are on me!
Enjoy!

Hi All,
As the PBF founder I'll make the first intro..
Ian's the name, I ride a Suzuki Bandit 1200, I love touring, taking in all that Scotland has to offer but the day trips anywhere around the west or Loch Lomond side are what keep me going.
Hope to see you out and about soon...

hello there
i'm andy i've got an old dirty monster (ducati)
i use it every day wind rain or shine, draw the line at snow but have done it, not fun
i now have a monkey bike that i'm fixing up so thats my new bike
monkey bikes are the future

Hi there it Roy
I ride a triumph street triple, last year was my first time on a naked bike, loved it! But do miss the wind free (well a bit less) of my CBR600F. Getting out on the road is the best thing, hours in the saddle, just clocking up the miles and seeing what scotland has to offer. Hopefully take that journey further soon and don the roads of France, Germany, Spain?? Anybody fancy it???

Hi All
next ones on me!!!
ride an adventure 990 (the orange ones go faster) love using it for work and play fairly new at the game though so if I'm not Blasting it's cos I'm trying to be the one lasting!
am heading way up north for first big trip 2 up end of may so should be fun

Welcome to the PBF amak, sounds like you'll fit in well here!
Glad you're heading up north, you'll love it. If you want any pointers for good roads give us a shout, or check out the ride outs section for possible destinations.
We look forward to hearing how you get on..
In the meantime, I'll have a stella while you're buying!
Cheers Buddy,

Alrite folks, Ric's the name! Currently riding a Ducati 748, which is having a little makeover at the moment. Hopefully it will be finished soon with the help of a couple PBF members......

Anyway, catch you all at the next rideout!

Welcome to the forum Ric. Roll on the good weather so you can get that duke back out to play!

Hi I am heather

Hoping to keep up with the boys on
long runs up north and looking
forward to Ireland in august, anyone
fancy a run to anstruthers for a chippy?

Hi Heather, Welcome to the forum!
When the weather improves a bit we'll definitely have some decent rides organised.And I'm sure you won't have any trouble keeping up!
also, any time you fancy getting out, just post it in the rides section to see if anyone else is up for it.

Hi am Gareth, have been riding a yamaha thundercat for around three years now.Have been a couple of cracking jaunts to Skye(amazing roads!!) Looking forward to meeting other bikers and hopefully picking up some tips! Cheers

Welcome to the PBF Gareth! I hope you find it useful..
With a bit of luck we try to get out pretty much every weekend so keep an eye on the rides section and hopefully you can join us..

Howdy, Davy is the name, I ride a VFR750FG and a CBR600F, giving the road riding a miss for the now and focusing on the track, heard about the PBF fae Kenny.

Welcome aboard Davy!
Track time you say? If you'd like some support give us a shout.. some of us might be up for a day out.

Welcome Davy! Give us a shout when your doing track days, I'm wanting to do a few this "summer"

Take it you use knockhill mostly?

Unfortunately Knockhill is the only track in Scotland the public can use. There are 2 other kinda private tracks but you'll need to join either the Melville motor club (which use East Fortune race track, East Lothian) or join the Kirkcaldy club which use Crail (but used to use knockhill until last year) or join the new Knockhill club which use eh...knockhill! Been doing trackdays at Knockhill for a couple of years now, (although my lap times dont reflect this lol) and i'm about to embark on my first race at East Fortune. I'm riding a 1986 VFR750 in the post classic senior class, racing against GSXR1100's, FZR1000's etc all post 1988. So as you can imagine i'll be dead last but i'm no really caring about that, as some folk say it's the taking part that counts (aye right) Anyone thinking about doing trackdays should just get up there and do it, if you like riding yer bike fast you'll not regret doing it.

All right there Davy good to see you made it in M8

aye Kenny cheers for the heads up.
