Hey there Natman - hope you're punchin out a few miles on the BeaST. Looks like a pretty sweet ride.
I've seen footage of the narrow, car-filled, sometimes cobblestone Manchester streets - and if you've ridden a bike there (especially in anger).......
Nice to have you aboard.
Looks like there's a few chaps around you who could be talked in to a RTE. Peter (Blueheeler55) knows some pretty good roads and chow houses down that way.
Anyway - enjoy your time here.
Cheers, Diesel
PS: Man. U suck! Go Liverpool!
