Hello, is there anybody in there?
« on: November 21, 2025, 16:22:50 »
Welp, New member here. I suppose I should introduce myself...

Male...
Gen-X...
Enjoys long walks on the beach...

Errr... No... Hold on... Wrong forums!



Still male and Gen-X but into bikes.
Location: West Yorkshire

Spent pretty much all my life into bikes, learned to ride about 10yo on a Yamaha TY80. Had various bikes over the years (non legal) until I was 49, where I thought "If I don't do it now, I never will!" So went out and did my DA and bought an old school superbike (like you do)!
Which brings me onto the bikes I own...

1998 Yamaha YZF1000R Thunderace (the bike hinted at above).
2017 Suzuki DL1000 V-Strom (the reason I'm here).
2003 Suzuki GSX1300 Hayabusa (which I won from RevComps (would you believe?)).

I don't tend to speed, but anyone that's seen me join a Motorway will know I like my acceleration  :auto-dirtbike: lol and filtering is one of lifes great joys!

I shall supply photos if anyone is interested and if I can get my Donkey in gear in this cold weather!!!

Anything else anyone wants to know?

This doesn't last forever, so do it while you can. Nothing travels faster than the speed of time.
