I've met both good & bad off the net & that does include some I've met from BM,but I can honestly say the majority of people on here are a likeminded bunch.There are exceptions to the rule & I've been unfortunate to have met a few of them.On the other hand I'm still in concact & have become good friends with more of the decent loons than the purely mental loons.Its upto your own judgement whether someone is worth seeing again.& whilst I agree with meeting up as a group is the safer option you can also meet somewhere like a pub wheres theres a lot of people around,if theres any doubt on the first meeting dont give the, your address,pure common sense.I've been lucky so far that anyone I've given my address to has been perfectly fine
We'll certainly not regretting it so far,meet a lot of crazy (but nice), people so far. Was down at Donnington, mad, and brilliant, that was when I bike was getting bought
Thank you Tangoman for your appology via PM.
Had I been a man on here looking for mates to ride with I doubt this debate would have even been voiced!!!!
the issue was that yore married!! an lookin for friends male!![although yu say lookin for nobody] or female,an maybe ridin out alone to meet same,me bein a old fashioned colonel blimp voiced concerns[rightly or wrongly] about other blokes temptin yu astray![cos yu are very attractive]an i got crucified for percieved slur on your lifestyle!!oh god ive done it again!! note to brain SHUTUP DAVE!!
lol well all i can say is hello to any new people i have missed and i think that it is important to be careful when you meet people just to be on the safe side, because there are some strange people about. But there has been some good advice given out about having someone call you and having people know where you are. I think though tango man that there are a few people on here who are wanting to meet people who are interested in going on ride outs and meetinf and making a wider circle of friends and i have been able to do this on this site and i have met someone as well. i have met up with loads of people as part of a group and had a really great time.
i think it is a fair comment to say if you married y you here and i have been on other sites where men are married looking for sex out sie of their marriage which seems a sad thing to do and maybe if they pur their time into thier marriage it would be better. Or of course leave the marriage/relationships because yes what is the point. But that said i some people dont like bikes but happy if their partner does and I have met both married single men and women and all sorts of people from different walks of life and different interests on this site and touch wood (TOUCHES HEAD) never had any of that stuff because the people i have met have been upfront and looking to just enjoy riding their bike and not wanting doing that on their own anymore or want to widen their circle of friends.
But Its only my opinion, to wanted to say but it it wouldnt do if we were all the same and variety is the very spice of life...so... whens the next meet lol then we can meet face to face have a coffe and a laugh its all good fun if you want it to be. (a bit less rain wiould be nice) xxxxs everyone
