I had a mid-life crisis in 2007 and decided to take my big bike test! I havent looked back since. Ive had great fun with Curvy Riders, meeting new people, organising ride-outs and social gatherings. Looking forward to doing more track days this year. Come along and join us at one of our ride outs or social evenings.

Hi – I’m a rider from way back, having passed my test in 1965. My experience has been wide, including Continental riding and touring much of Britain, and I still think in terms of 200 to 300 miles as a nice day’s potter. However, having served as an Instructor in the past, I am also empathetic of how it feels to be a newcomer to two wheels, and still take pleasure in just riding at an unhurried pace that will suit everybody and helping others to get the most pleasure out of their rides. I live near Llanberis in North Wales (half-way up a mountain near Snowdon) and currently ride a much modified Suzuki DL650 V-Strom that has carried me and my tent on many adventures. If you fancy a ride around some of the lesser-know lost roads of North and Mid Wales, then give me a shout and I’ll take you out – easy fun and fantastic views guaranteed!

I live in Dumfries and have always been interested in bikes from a young age, having gone to the TT with my family many times as well as the grass-tracking and scrambling meetings locally in Dumfries & Galloway.

My brother always had a bike and I always wanted to have one of my own but never had the courage or finance to do it. Then marriage, family and house kind of took over everything which meant there was no opportunity for me to achieve my dream of having my own bike.

Around four years ago, we were on holiday with some biker friends and my husband decided he was going to take his bike test after having been off bikes for around 30 years! I decided at that time that I didn't want to be pillion on someone else's bike and decided to do my test too. I passed first time, although I went down the restricted route and I've never looked back since (well not literally!) I ride a Yamaha 600 which isn't the fastest or most stylish machine on two wheels, but it's mine and it's comfortable!

Come along to our Social evenings on the last Wednesday of every month at the King's Arms Hotel, High Street, Lockerbie where you can meet the rest of the crowd. We have some great roads to play on around this area so please come along and join in the fun.
