Hi Axman,

That sounds like a good idea! I can see no logical way of navigating around it. I would also close my eyes! :twisted:

Hi Dave,

I'm not sure where it is - but that's probably a good thing! :)
Let's hope its up in the far North somewhere and well out of our way! Apologies to any Scottish Bulldog riders.

Hi John w,

How long have you had your Bulldog?

Did you see the slating of it by the Motorcycle news.

In a write up on 167 bikes, they gave it a 4/10. was so annoyed I wrote to them and gave them what for. But they are ony one boring upstart opinion on what is a good bike.

Went for a ride through the Trough of Bowland on easter Sunday. Then home and back to gardening. What a treat!.

Safe riding.

Dave.

Hello Dave,

I've owned the 'Dog for just over 2 years. I think it's a great bike. Looks greatd. Comfortable. No chain :-D . I will be keeping it for some time as by owning it and joining in with various events I have got to know some good people.
I'm off to the 3rd International Bulldog Treffen in Germany next month with Mick P :-D

I also agree the journalists don't know what they're talking about. In the UK, if it's not a sports bike and isn't continually being improved to get another 2bhp and weigh less than it did previously - then it's crap! Well, I say that people with this attitude aren't true motorcyclists - they are wannabe racers/fashion freaks. Surely the fact thet you ride a bike is good no matter what it is or how fast it goes. As far as I can see, the average biker can't handle extremely powerful, cutting edge bikes - that's why the accidents happen.
So stay alive and ride something like the Bulldog. It will still go fast enough to lose your driving licence if you are not careful. :evil:

Anyway - enough of my ranting! Enjoy your Bulldog :twisted:

Maybe you will do a trip to Europe with us somtime?

Oh yes, almost forgot - that roundabout is in Swindon, Wiltshire - so don't go there!

Cheers ~ John w

Hi Axman,

Sorry for the delay in replying.
We are riding to Antwerp on Thursday 11th. To Willingen on the Friday 12th.
I believe that you and Paul are going to Willingen on Thursday so we will see you there.
There are 3 of us coming over. Another Bulldog rider contacted me last week and wished to join us. He is Dave from Wales. I hope to meet him next Sunday.
It would be good to meet up with some other Bulldog riders on the road to Willingen.
:arrow: Is there anyone reading this who would like to meet up? Any riders from Belgium or The Netherlands going to Germany? We are happy to vary our route - we don't mind where we go! - All roads lead to Willingen! :P

See ya soon :lol:
Cheers ~ John w
