Just a quick Hello from a new member
« on: 25.10. 2024 11:59 »
Hi everyone, just wanted to say hello from a new member, have been meaning to join for a time but never seemed to get round to it, you've got fantastic knowledge base on the website.
I've always had bikes of one sort or another since I was 17 (long time ago), but I have found lately, that I have been gravitating towards the older bikes.
 Don't get me wrong the new ones are fantastic and amazing machines, but I realised I don't need the cruse control, rider modes and all the electronics, I'm much happier on the older stuff, engine ,brakes, 2 wheels and handlebars for the kind of riding that I do, also you can work on them.
So that's it guys
stay well
Paul
