Welcome to REVTOTHELIMIT. Your forum for all things MOTORBIKE. From Ducati to Yamaha, from Suzuki to KTM, from Dakar to WSB, MotoGP and BSB. Come in and talk motorbikes with us. We have racers, riders, trackdays, we have DAS instructors and coaches.
Just joined and live near Newbury, Berkshire. Up for any rideouts unless you have a deathwish
I have a 2007 cbr1000rr I used to use on the road but now is just used for track days (novice groups), a ktm 1190 adventure for commuting (when I used to commute) and longer trips, a ktm 950 sm for playing on the lanes and a drz400 for playing on the dirt lanes. Also very slowly restoring a zxr750 l. I do all my own work on the bikes.

We've been here for over 20 years and it's ok. Kids can't wait to get away but I think that that's common where ever you live.
There's some reasonable roads to play on round here, quite a lot of green lanes and a few tracks within striking distance. It could be worse

I'll see you on the 4494
Ha, almost certainly. It was busy last night. I can't recall where I was but four japanese cars came round a corner nose to tail like the fast and the furious and there was an ariel nomad out for a play along with plenty of bikes. If you see this give me a wave...

used to work in the area at a little place near the A34 called AERE.
One of the places that meant that, if the four minute warning had sounded, we wouldn't have lasted long.

All within a few miles.
Been in the first two. One as a worker one as a 'contracted researcher'.
You could add Culham to that list. If a fusion reactor goes on the blink all the matter in the planet ends up in a teaspoon that weighs a googleplex tonnes.

Fusion, you say?
We'd have had unlimited free power for the rest of our lives
Nice bikes! I don't live near Newbury - I'm on the south coast.
