    Just been looking at the location map and there doesn't appear to be many members in the south (Hampshire, Dorset & Wiltshire) and poor "Blackness" seems to be all alone on the Isle of Wight. Is my observation correct or have members not entered themselves on the location map. Doing so will help others see who is where.:confused:

    Thats right dude... Ive got the island to myself !! Often found terrorising tarmac along the south coast tho !

    I have been over here a year now and apart from bloody scooter boys i haven't found any bike meets or anything over here ! Its either the shite roads and drivers have killed everyone else off or the speed police have made everyone nervous ! Either way I'm still going strong and flying the flag for the 1000RR ;) !

    Bristol but not many of the locals want to play, hoping to change that this year.

    All of them my friend ;) ! You kinda take off on the first pot hole, keep it pinned and just kinda skim the rest until you run out of road ! Its a learning curve and an acquired technique you have to develop :) !
    Check out the famous Military Road on the south of the island.. Its about 7 miles of the straightest road there is here. Top gear have used it and the police kinda leave it alone ! Your airborne through most of it again because of the bumps and cracks but to one side you also have a couple of hundred feet eroding cliff face that dumps you into the sea :/ ! Again, another learning curve ! I have a friend with a Lamborghini and he can get just over 155mph down it but he has to stay right in the middle of the road so he doesn't get thrown into either the sea or a field !
    My favourite road is the one that takes me to the ferry so i can get away from the bloody place :)
