Does anyone know of any motorbike forums in Sheffield?

I love motorbikes, can't ride and don't have one, but love being pillion.

Am recently single, but have own leathers and helmet and don't want them to go to waste!

Any ideas anyone?

ditto! got leathers and helmet due to doing motorbike training 2 yrs ago. Not got my own bike but am a pillion groupie - always asking anyone who will take me if I can hop on the back!

Btw - didnt pass full test as failed theory (after only 25 years of driving!) so never went in for full road test. Now the flippin cbt which I DID pass has expired! Might have to get myself back and do it - yesterdays weather was a beaut for a ride out!:clap:

Try this one, it's Sheffield based,

http://www.globalsuperbikes.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/

Roll on the good weather.

:)

Thanks for that - ive just e-mailed them.

And yes it wudda been a fab day for a ride yesterday - over the snake or up to the Cat and Fiddle.

That is really strange,
When I go on the pillion, It scares me witless.. But I like taking people on the back.
I'm Bikeless at the moment but looking to get back on in the summer.

well Muddy - seeing as how you obviously live so near and as a repayment for taking that short cut home from the pub over private land(!) then I hope you will take me for a ride - so to speak! (better half permitting of course - yours not mine that is!)

Will certainly...
By the way the worse culprit for the passage is the old fella with the little red car.. you get a very amusing note if you park in front of his garage ..... :loopy:

Theres lots of bike forums out there but there normaly for specific types of bikes like the gs forum http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/index.php or the diversion forum http://www.bikersoracle.com/yamahadiversion/forum/ obviously these ones I use.:thumbsup:

I would take Pillion but my GF get very jealous about who sits on the back lol:thumbsup: :hihi: :hihi:

Or try this link.... http://www.longriders-uk.com/

This is a bike club based in Sheffield - they are doing an easter egg run on the 27th March in aid of a local charity (also happens to be my birthday)

So if you can make it, please do - all are welcome

PLEASE NOTE - The website contains some adult material - e.g photos of rally's, days out etc.

And yes,I am a member and no, I have no pillion passenger at the moment..........

That looks like a rather scary website DJ Shadowman!

Nah, all very friendly people - whats scary about it ?

I thinks its probably the skull and cross bones and flashing 'enter here'!

Are you all Harley riders? I am just assuming - I haven't opened the site yet.

Whats the kind of age range?

There actually a friendly group offered to help me out on numerous occasions and I ride a Diversion.:thumbsup: :cool:

The age range is varied, the oldest member at the moment is 42 (I believe)

I dont think that any of us own a Harley, we prefer to "modify" bikes ! myself, I ride a Yamaha XJ 600 (pre diversion)

Have a look at the site, all the details are on there including the times / meeting places for the easter egg run.Its open to everyone and its in a good cause.

Are there any regular meets or pubs that bikers go to in Sheffield?

Or any single and lovely men out there with a motorbike? 28-38 ish?

I'm 27!

why dont you get your own a bike! you will love it!

Coz i'd be too scared I reckon - plus I love riding pillion.

It's a lot scarier when you're not in control........

I don't feel like that - I guess its part of holding onto a big burley man that I enjoy too though! he he!

I want to do the direct access motorbike training course, anyone recommend a company in Sheffield? MCT any good?

Wow, you're willing to do all that, just for a date with BruciesBabe. Now that's what I call a chat-up line. ;)

Seriously though, I know a few people who've used the mob down by the dog track (owlerton). Can't remember what they're called, but they seemed OK from all the reports.

Good luck. :thumbsup:

I'm sure BruciesBabe is indeed a babe, but I don't think my girlfriend would approve!

I've just been on the phone to MCT and have arranged a free 40 minute try out on a bike for Sunday (strike while the iron is hot!), cheers for the advice though.

did I say tomorrow.....meant today !
