"Greetings all " from UK newby.

Hi, one & all .      Here is my opening shot. ( I promise it will not hurt). on this excellent forum.

I am a 66 year old retired engineer with a reborn interest in motorcycles.
As a teanager I rode Norton and Ducati, then things got in the way. (as they do !)  46 years later and the horses are back in the stable.
Current occupants are;-
'98 BMW 1100 RT ( seems to be getting heavier these days !??? )
'59 BSA A10 S Rocket engined G Flash, ( thinks its an RGS )   ( More of the 'Monster later !)
'88 Honda Hawk/Bros (650) Fully stripped, refinishing under-way.
''04 Honda VFR 800 V Tec. ( the young pretender and regular 'hack' )

Be in touch ,
Pete

G'day Pete, welcome to the forum.
Hope you don't mind, I had to move this post.
Your avatar would suggest your an IOM fan. Me two. I've got all the races since '85 on DVD.
46 years is a long time out of the saddle, but you've got enough toys to make up.
Cheers

Welcome Pete, another engineer got to be good, help keep us agricultural types in hand 

mind one good bike out of four - some room for improvement

Muskrat, you have great taste in DVD's !   Ive been fortunate to have attended the last 3 TT's and the iconic Hailwood/Agostini battle os '67 you should take the trip someday.
Bill, if 'Good' equates to 'temperamental *******', then you'r 'spot-on' sir.-------Like any highly strung,well hung thoroughbred,  I guess the pleasure will be all the more intense for the anticipation.

Hay-Ho !
Flash'

ps, muskrat, move as you feel necessary. ---I'll get the hang of this one day.

Nice intro Pete, welcome to the best place ever for anything A10 and we even manage a bit of humour, whether intentional or not . You were indeed well blessed to have seen that scrap between Mike the bike and Aggo , both 2 of my all time heroes ,Mike came out first for me though, best wishes BobH.
