Hi all, thought I'd drop in and say hi and why I was here.
I started off on a 125 about 20 years ago when you could just hop on anything.....I then had a break from two wheels when I passed my driving test but decided to get a bike about 5 years ago again because I realised I missed it! I bought myself an a partly restored Yamaha XZ550....an old V twin which was great to start with....I then went to a CBR600 which showed it's age very quickly and in 2 years I had swapped it for a GSX600f of 98 vintage. A sedate and sensible bike compared to the CBR but now I'm a bit older I prefer the more relaxed pace, shall we say as I no longer feel the need to ride as fast as the bike will go....
Anyway, that's me, hello to all the other rider folk and maybe meet up during the summer sometime.
