Haha thanks StephenSteve R1 wrote:Welcome to the forum Karen, good luck in sorting your 4c8, what's the name of the one horse power horse that you are trying to wheelie, I bet that takes more skill to ride than your bike![]()
So what's his / her top speed, 0 to 35 mph and how many miles does he / she do on a bag of hay![]()
Welcome

Her name is Jet, she was a driving horse and we didn't know if she'd ever been ridden before so I jumped on to find out, had great fun on her I love the ones that wheelie!
They're like a bike with a brain, awesome!
She's a bit of a plod so top speed would be around 25, my Arab was rapid, we set a speed camera off once haha!

Re: Hi from Scotland
I'm definitely not Scottish but I love it here, the countryside, the roads, the people are all great. I miss friends and family back down south but not enough to leave all this behind [emoji23]T1DKY wrote:Welcome in Karen, makes me wonder if any of the members in Scotland are actually Scottish.Highlander wrote:Same here, I'm originally from Somerset.

Re: Hi from Scotland
Haha thanks everyone 
I love it up here in Scotland, I'm definitely here for life! I'm always down the Galloway forest in my Vitara, hopefully I'll be there on the bike soon too!
Got a compression tester now, I just ended up ordering one, so I'll get it done either tomorrow or Saturday

Welcome along.
Lots of good roads in Dumfries & Galloway and over into the Scottish borders and the other side too.
