    Hi there,

    Another mid-life crisis rider!
    Had a DT125 at uni and a couple of Vespas when I lived in London.
    Hit my forties and one day in 2014 suddenly decided to buy a bike again. Two days later I owned a CBR125 and had passed the CBT!
    Jekyll fought back though and I took my time riding it through 2014 to get experience. Spring 2015 did the full test and bought a very sensible CB500F.
    Less than 4 months later Hyde took control once more when I saw a bargain Yamaha MT07 on Autotrader in Mansfield. Booked the next day off work caught a bus and four trains, bought it and rode it back.

    Love the freedom of riding the bike on my tod but am up for meeting other riders.

    Cheers,
    Guy

    Hi and welcome to WB

    I know where NSP is, been through a few thousand times

    Thanks BB and Burbler. Peasedown/Dennisville haha! If you want to spend a lot of time cleaning your bike then NSP and the roads around are perfect, Trev.
