Hi there ... and welcome to WB ... Richard
Welcome Lee. I see we have finally allowed you to speak. Glad you joined. Stay in touch mate and February AKA the big 40 will soon be here. ;)
Tell Deb that when you get past 40 you can have 1 mid life crisis a year! It works for me and i'm still sane ;)
Hello Lee, welcome to Wiltshire Bikers! :)
Here's a link for a very very cheap GPZ500 I've seen for sale.
Its just a helmet cam, but you can hear the engine.could any of you experts have a listen to the vid..and tell me if it's a plum or sounds normal please?

I've seen quite a few GPZ vids on youtube and they do seem to sound a bit rough at low revs :)
Hello and welcome Lee.
Although my second bike the Yamaha XJ6 diversion is a great bike and can often be found on 0% finance if you time it right. Mine was a 2010 model and did me very well for the three years that I had it.
Ta Dan,
I do like the look of the XJ - looks kind of bad-ass! but I'm more leaning towards buying an older bike, so that as things go wrong with it, I can learn about repairs & maintaince :D
Cheers Nelly, you lot will be sick of all my questions in a few months :D ..big mistake allowing me to speak!! - Deb never does :mad: lol!
Hi and welcome good luck with buying a bike and the mid-life crisis and hope you have more fun on a bike then the Porsche and sun glasses approach to you're 40s I'm hoping train spotting never comes to my mind later (but wait what's a few thousand HP look like going past)
Thanks Birdylegs. I have no fears of getting into train spotting..although we do live 30 metres from a railway line..convenient coincidence? ? Nah!!! I'll stick to my new found 2 wheeled obsession! :)
Well guys & gals, I'm one step closer to becoming a biker- bought myself a rather old & tired looking CBR400-the engine is sweet though (I think!!). Whist I'm learning to ride and passing my tests I intend to tart her up a bit and learn about the workings of a bike in the process:D:D:D
