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.

    • For Plusnet, I pay £31.99 for Full Fibre 500.  (the number is the line speed you have paid for) I have recently recontracted.  Always phone them up, and ask what deal they can do for me.  Usually get a decent reduction.  Sue, I would suggest you call them, especially if you are close to contract renewal.  Sometimes they will change deals mid-contract, as I have found in the past.      
    • The drivers generally have the same set area to cover every day, so they're fairly easy to follow - quite often on bike. They organise their drops to maximise how many they can do within a given time - there's actually software at the depot to do this before they set off - so they tend to follow the same route. Certain addresses are delivery hotspots, some have two or three drops a day from the various couriers. It all adds up doorstep deliveries being incredibly easy to target. I suspect Vladi's neighbour hasn't had their fake parcel nicked, not because of their security, but because the thief simply wouldn't have seen the driver stop there, so there's nothing to steal. The losses are factored in, driving prices up for everyone, and the drivers are treated abysmally. It's a dreadful business. It needs regulating.   Sorry, cross post with Azalea and Alec1
    • Amazon seem to do this more and more now.  They don't even ring the doorbell, just leave them lying on the door step, then you find out it's been delivered when you check tracking.  The official Amazon vans are frequently followed on their routes by thieves and take the opportunities freely given.   
    • Our local delivery driver was followed and had his van stolen.
