Are there many other bikers/motorcyclists in East Dulwich?

No, we love the roofed one, very knobby but still great. BTW are the mad paiggio 3 wheeler truck versions still motor bikes. I want one of those ( you know what for *Bob*) Oh imagine 32 mph down Barry rd with a ton of Oak behind you, wind in your hair....



It's a dream

No, the roof ones are ghey, just wrong, very wrong. At least I sort of get the three wheeled jobs, esp with all the mulch on the roads right now. That will pass, though, and you're then just left with your slightly pointless, fairy tri-knobbervagen.

The Bikerz of SE22 seem to be a quiet lot.


I seem to remember someone else trying to organise ride-out / meet-ups some time back but interest was minimal.


To draw your attention away from the point of the thread, and for no reason whatsoever other than it having made me laugh, I draw your attention to the top two 'comments' in

. You must read the whole of the top one first to get into the 'zone' before reading the second one.

Oh, but with a pick up truck and canvas back ohjeemeflip, surely an exemption can be made. Like a taste cul-de-sac (gated of course)


No ?

Well, I'll check in as a motorcyclist here. I commute every day on a VFR800 these days and do the occasional tour or trackday FWIW.


Still not sure as to the point of this thread though. Are you looking for people to go on a 'ride out' with? Do you want to meet up with other ED bikers outside the EDT of an evening and admire each others machinery while not drinking beer?


I love my motorbikes but have never really got this concept of identifying as a 'biker'. I can't stand biker meets or big group rides. They just seem a bit odd really.

Ah, I see... It's probably the heady allure of the female silhouette bulked out by plastic armour and Gore-tex, or maybe the mysterious veil of her race-replica Arai?


I prefer the frissance of seeing girls in thin summer dresses on Italian mopeds speeding around the perilous tarmac of the Elephant and Castle roundabout.


I doubt they count as 'bikers' though.

    • Do check out changing at Lille if it's possible, as is much easier than changing stations in Paris.  I did London to Montpellier changing at Lille which was very straightforward but it was a little while ago.
    • We go to the South of France by train most summers.   It is pretty easy and you get to arrive right in the centre of the city.  TGVs are generally efficient, reliable and comfortable. Unfortunately the direct London to Marseille Eurostar train seems to have been a  victim of Brexit so you have to change in Paris - most South bound service go from  Gare de Lyon - about a 15 min RER rise from Gare du Nord. Allow plenty of time travelling back from Gare du Nord, it always was horrid but has reach new levels of chaos since Brexit. I would recommend, at least for the home leg, booking the entire journey through Eurostar. That way if your French train is delayed or cancelled and you miss your Eurostar connection back to London,  Eurostar will get you on to a different train home. As for destinations - there is a lot of the South of Fra.ce to choose from.  What are you looking for?     Also Ouigo trains can be a cheaper option than TGVs, but watch out you have to pay extra for things like luggage and seat reservations.  Also they sometimes stop at TGV stations outside the city centre.
    • Do what I do and stick some of these folk on your ignore list.  It's great fun, they just rant away and you will be totally oblivious to it.
