Bikers

Any bikers on here who ride to away games? Something I've been intrested in doing but never found anyone to go with as my biker mates don't follow football.

So if anyone fancies being my football friend then let me know!!

    Ah the old Scomadi TL50. Is that why you are known as tangoflash?

    Been Tangoflash on here for a few years now (a nickname my mate gave to my bright orange Vespa).

    No longer a TL50, now a TL180. Fitted a Gilera runner 2-stroke engine in it recently and does 85+mph now :smile:

    What are you travelling on RedRooster? Not that it makes a difference, i can't afford all the away games.

    This is my beauty... Yeah she's only a 600 but she's quick enough and looks pretty.

    I have a CBR600F but sod riding to away games, would much rather get the train and have a few beers. I also wouldn't trust a lot of towns with my bike for 2 hours.

    What you mean is, you want somebody with a bike to carry your iPhone 6 to away games. (:

    I do think it's sweet that scooterists think a biker thread is for them.

    How to ruin a good scooter. Yes, I know taste is a personal thing, but those pictures on the side are awful.

    Anyway, back to the original topic of the thread. I'd be happy to look at going to anything up to about 100 miles away. I've got an 850 Yamaha.

    Scooters are hideous... but cool.

    They're such a strange thing...

    If you don't want to watch the match sitting in sweaty or wet leathers and your helmet getting damaged rolling around on the floor (no not that helmet) what do you do. I used to find the nearest leisure centre to change and shower and leave stuff in a locker. Need to then get a local bus or train to the ground.

    Advantage of a bike is not getting delayed by motorway hold ups, means you can leave later because you have a more reliable ETA. Wish I still had my old Triumph.

    Yeah but you have to spend the time you've saved getting a bus to and changing at the leisure centre.

    The potential for innuendo/euphemisms/bants on this thread is colossal (sorry) with all talk of two strikes and riding up the outside lane etc but nobody has risen to it (oops, there I go again).

    Wow, thanks for the compliment. I'll be honest and say I'm not overly keen on the side panels either, but one of my friends has just started doing vinyl wrapping as his own business, so used my scooter as an example of what he can do and have it beside his stall at rallies. I chose the theme and the pics, but didn't think he'd put full images on the panels, but cost me nothing and will peel them off during the winter.





    Oh yeah, and I bet your Yamaha looks shit too............................................... :smile:
