Welcome!

Now this may sound odd (I'm not sure if Uxbridge is many peoples idea of a 'touring' destination), but can you advise of any decent places with secure (bike friendly) parking in the area? (I'm interested in mooching around the area where some of my family lived for generations).

Mike.

Welcome

There a few regular gatherings around the London area, namely Ace cafe, Doggetts and Battleaxes however Doggetts and Battleaxes seem to die off during the winter months for some reason.

Hope to see you at meeting in the new year

Parking and ACE

Definatley up for the ace. See you there is there a normal time to meet?

Mike As for parking in Uxbridge thers three places for bikes in the town centre

1 At the bottom of Belmont road by WHSmith opp Barclays. Its free and there is lots of people around so should be fairly safe

2 At the bottom of Belmont road it turns sharp right into the High Street about 100 metres up on the right is a kebab shop (opp Tescos) there is a place there for bikes but I dont like using that on as there is an alley there aswell

3 Park in sainsburys you'll have to pay and the space isnt very big but it in the open

All above OK for daytime wouldnt leave it overnight there.There are multi storey car parks aswell but dont know what there like as never use them
I look into overnight parking
If youre a member of HM forces theres and RAF camp 2mins walk from centre but you will have to blag it
DO NOT park on the Uxbridge road as very popular for thefts from cars
Theres a big roundabout by St Andrews church. And its got diesel or something on it as is slippery even when dry
Hope this is of use to you, if you need to know where anything else is then gis us a shout

Gregarious,

Watcha and welcome on board.
If the boxer twin guys get uppity about F650's, (not that they would do such a thing) just remind them the mileage you get from a tankfull and watch them wince.
If you want to pop down towards Henley for a ride, let me know. PB

Gregarious,

Stick the piccie on a photo website and copy the link using the "insert Image" icon. You can only upload once you pay your £10 membeship dues. PB
