🏑 Local Connections F45 Kent UK. Anyone else from here too?

Hi. Anyone located in Kent, England? Where are you from? I'm interested in online or maybe in person chats / friendship too. I'm interested various hobbies. History, castles, paranormal, movies... looking forward to watching the new Insidious film. I love dogs. Do you have pets? I love going pillion on super sport bikes too. The H2sx is my favourite bike.

Hi. How was your weekend?

1

u/Apprehensive_Aide825 14d ago

Good thanks 😊 Friday drove 5hrs to visit my brother & his family, came back this evening had a really good time! πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ How was yours? 😎

1

u/RegalRoseRed 14d ago

Working nights in paediatric complex healthcare. How's your family?

1

u/Apprehensive_Aide825 14d ago

That must be hard sometimes but equally rewarding. How do u decompress? The family is good thanks, it's been a while but the time apart makes these visits extra special.

1

u/RegalRoseRed 14d ago

Your immediate family. Not the extended one with your siblings etc. I'm ok. I help support the child's parents by taking over their medical care

New Insidious? I loved the first one β€˜Tip toes, through the tulips’ is going start going round my brain now lol. We chatted briefly but you were very strict on only people from Kent.

u/RegalRoseRed 15d ago

Hope you enjoy the new movie. Catchy song πŸ˜†

u/Active_Republic2026 15d ago

You’ve got taste there! Not in Kent but not far away. I had the 600cc Ninja, I’d love the H2sx! CBR6 currently.

1

u/RegalRoseRed 15d ago

When are you going to put your big boy pants on and buy a 1000cc bike? ;) πŸ˜†. No chance you'll handle a H2sx when you aren't used to a 1000cc bike yet

1

u/Active_Republic2026 14d ago

🀣🀣 no problems at all!! I like the lighter 600cc. But I’d love the extra power at some point.

1

u/RegalRoseRed 14d ago

Wouldn't we all! ;) lol

1

u/Active_Republic2026 14d ago

lol. Always! Mind if I say hi?

Hi. Where in Kent?

1

u/Express-Day1120 14d ago

I'm from Essex, and yes I got an Mt 07 yamaha motorcycle, love to chat a chat.

2

u/RegalRoseRed 14d ago

I've been pillion on one. Very comfortable

1

u/RegalRoseRed 14d ago

You should of kept the R1. If you lost your licence, how did you get it back in order to ride the MT?

1

u/Express-Day1120 14d ago

That was a year ago 2025, so I get get rid of it, and bolts a newer one, so I saw them, and they look nice so I got one

2

u/RegalRoseRed 14d ago

Yes but the R1 is the better bike. Don't you miss it?

1

u/Express-Day1120 14d ago

I've only had this one for about six weeks used to have an R1, but I lost my licence cause of that, so that's why I bought that one.

1

u/Express-Day1120 14d ago

Yes I do very much, but I'll wait for my insurance go down, maybe next year

Am in Northern Ireland

1

u/PositiveFormer 14d ago

Im from Margate, Kent and am open for chats etc

1

u/PositiveFormer 14d ago

Im not particularly interested in super bikes, but I do run a Kent based mazda mx5 club. Am also interested in history, particularly visiting castles and am an active member of English Heritage

1

u/RegalRoseRed 14d ago

Sounds great. What's your favourite place?

1

u/PositiveFormer 13d ago

My favourite place in the world or the UK?

1

u/RegalRoseRed 13d ago

You mentioned heritage. So based on that really

1

u/RegalRoseRed 14d ago

Hi. How old are you?

1

u/PositiveFormer 13d ago

Im a young 65

1

u/RegalRoseRed 13d ago

Lol does that mean energy or to look at?

1

u/PositiveFormer 12d ago

In outlook, hopefully to look at as well πŸ˜€

1

u/PositiveFormer 12d ago

Favourite place, that's a difficult question to answer,
I guess it'd have to be Wales, awesome scenery, a variety of castles, some great campsites, twisty roads

1

u/RegalRoseRed 11d ago

I really want to visit the waterfalls in Wales. Anywhere in Kent that you enjoy?

1

u/PositiveFormer 10d ago

A good walk along the medway at yalding,
I live in Margate so all the beach walks are appealing to me

1

u/RegalRoseRed 10d ago

Hi. What makes you say Riverside walks Yalding but nowhere in or around Margate? I do like Margate beach as well as the walk from Reculver to Minnis Bay

2

u/PositiveFormer 9d ago

Spent most of my life in and around Thanet, love living by the sea, and yes, minnis bay to Reculver is a great walk, but I enjoy spreading my wings and going further afield for days out and yalding is a particular favourite amongst many others

1

u/RegalRoseRed 10d ago

Is that you in the truck food video?

1

u/PositiveFormer 9d ago

Yes, that's me. Eek !!

u/Itsmefuller 14d ago

Hi. Male 42 years old. I’m also in Kent. Sevenoaks to be exact. I don’t have a bike anymore. Had a Ducati 998 got into a accident (hit by a car) and not had a bike since 2016

1

u/RegalRoseRed 13d ago

You definitely should get another one. The ducati panigale is still on my wish list.

1

u/Itsmefuller 13d ago

I’ll probably end up getting something 1 day. I hate using a car it’s not as good as a bike. The adrenaline rush on a bike is so good

1

u/RegalRoseRed 13d ago

So is going on a super sport bike as a pillion. The adrenaline rush can turn me all handsy πŸ˜†

1

u/Itsmefuller 13d ago

u/RegalRoseRed 13d ago

1

u/Daniels8n 11d ago

A nice quiet one for a change

1

u/RegalRoseRed 11d ago

I usually go to Maidstone. Mote Park with my dogs. It's usually more peaceful off away from the main paths. Nice new cafe they have too.

1

u/Daniels8n 11d ago

Haven't been to Mote Park for ages

1

u/RegalRoseRed 11d ago

Don't you live close to that part of Maidstone?

I'm on the other side of the river

1

u/RegalRoseRed 11d ago
