Re: Barnsley area

Lol... it's okay, I'm not from Barnsley ;) That sounds quite good actually, I bet he regretted doing it! It's shocking that people don't stop after causing accidents like that though - even if he was being a prat, surely anybody with any compassion would want to see if the person they had potentiall...

Re: Barnsley area

No, I was being good - I kept pulling over (when it was safe) to allow him to catch up... :P Some drivers are so impatient though. Two cars at separate junctions pulled up beside us to turn the corner in the same direction (one left, one right) - fortunately I saw them and didn't try to go too. It's...

Re: Mouldy gloves.

I was too wet to think about anything properly at the time :( I will know for in future though. I should probably have bought waterproofs (my jacket is waterproof but I have jeans which obviously aren't!), but I couldn't really afford them. It was only a light rain when I set off - just happened tha...

Mouldy gloves.

Josh went to pick up his scooter today, so I said I would ride down and meet up with him. I haven't ridden my scooter for about two and a half weeks since I got soaked - I decided it was easier to get the bus for now! We'll hopefully be moving to a closer car park too, so that I don't have to walk h...

Re: Barnsley area

Yay! :) Josh picked up his scooter today and we went for a little trip around Leeds. He managed to hit a top speed of about 25mph, so I think we'll have to work on that before the 15th! :lol:

Re: Barnsley area

Sorry I've not been on for a while. Been very busy lately and haven't really had time! :( Not been riding my scooter for a while either - I got soaked about a week and a half ago and I've been sulking about it ever since :lol: The car park is also too far away to be convenient - it's about half a mi...

Re: Barnsley area

That was supposed to say "the big numbers on the speedometer were mph rather than kph", but I guess you knew what I meant anyway! Sooo... as for a date, I'm free 18th/19th August and each weekend after that except 22nd/23rd September and 27th/28th October. Things might crop up in the meant...

Re: Barnsley area

Not much ;) He should be getting it next Saturday. Yeah, it's 125cc and he preferred it over the Sym that they had there because the big numbers were mph rather than kph.

Re: Barnsley area

He's paid the deposit on his scooter! He's getting a Yamaha Vity in white. I don't particularly like it but it's got good storage and it's better than nothing :lol: He can come and do shopping with me now! :)

Re: Getting a PCX 125 on Saturday!

Yeah, I try to be very careful because I'm a bit nervous. I hate getting too close to other vehicles - so much so that I turn left out of the car park then go around the roundabout and head back the other direction. It adds about 5 minutes onto my journey, but I feel safer doing it that way! (It's q...

Re: Barnsley area

Sounds good. If I like to stick to speed limits and hate overtaking anything other than cyclists, will I get lost? I don't want everyone to have disappeared within 17 seconds! :lol:

I am free on Saturdays, and until about 18:30 on Sundays. I will let you know if Josh gets a scooter! :)

Re: Barnsley area

I don't know :P It'll depend on when Josh gets his scooter, but I'm hoping that will be in the next three weeks or so. Mid to late August maybe? I don't know where though. Castleford? :lol:

Re: Getting a PCX 125 on Saturday!

Not here unfortunately, they've marked them with one of those "low flying motorbike" signs (as my Mum likes to call them) :( I went to work this morning - took a wrong turn... and then another... and another... started on 28 miles, finished on 36 - the journey should have been 2.3 miles lo...

Re: Getting a PCX 125 on Saturday!

Yeah there are quite a few actually, just a shame they are mostly closed on a Sunday else he would've been persuaded to go ;) I think he'd kill me if I forced him to make a decision... Lol oh Josh will be lagging behind I'm sure. I'm not confident when it comes to junctions and changing direction et...

Re: Barnsley area

I'm not bothered really, I intended to pay £100 or so for my helmet and ended up having to pay £320 because my head was too big for most! So it's been expensive in every aspect lol ;) I guess they knew I wouldn't think to ask for discount :P qed, where abouts in North Yorkshire are you? A lot of min...
