Thanks for the welcome Alex.  It's pretty spread out here, as you'd imagine, but if you live near a tourist hub at the end of good roads as I do, you see a fair share of bikes.  A lot of American made bikes come out my way but just as many sport bikes and Adventure bikes.  The American bike riders typically stop at the coffee shops but the other riders go up into the hills beyond, especially the Adventure types as there are lots of good dirt/gravel roads near the border.  Go out West and it's all ADV bikes, they were a real game changer I recon, I love mine, it can go anywhere I'm brave enough to take it or just cruse comfortably up the blacktop.  In my younger days I rode a Honda 250 Elsinore for a bit, nice bike, but chalk and cheese compared to these bigger dirt bikes we have now.

I haven't mentioned groups and all that because I'm a lone rider, a loner at heart.  I live alone, never go to meetups etc, I've always been that way, since a kid.  We're a bit limited out here in the countryside because of all the Roos hopping around too.  I wouldn't dare ride at night, I don't believe many riders do unless it's in the city.  What's it like in London town, many good rides out into the countryside?
