Youngish newbie old member new ... or something

[Fallout]

Evening! New forum member here ... kind of!

Decided I would sign up to a bike forum to get some old skool internet babbling going on. I missed forums basically. Guess what? Some cheeky swine had stolen my email address and used it on here to further their own bike related escapades! So with great satisfaction I reset the password and logged in, only to find out actually it was me ... apparently in 2008 the cheeky young scamp that I was signed up for some much needed sage wisdom, and then then just disappeared into the internet void. Reading the crap I'd put in my signature was like looking the unjaded, not beaten down by life, bum-fluff adorned version of myself in the mirror, full of expectation and hope, totally oblivious to the crushing agony of the decade laid out before him. What a total git.

Anyway, I'm Simon. I have, unsurprisingly, been riding since about 2008. I have a BMW S1000R on finance which is like a solid lump of depleted uranium around my neck chaining me to a life of crushing poverty, a tatty old GSXR 750 which burns 100ml of oil every 100 miles but strangely not when been caned to death on the track, and a DRZ 400 for pottering about the lanes at 3 mph while fantasising I am Graham Jarvis. For a living I make computer games, and when I'm not at work, fettling bikes, or trying to figure out how I will ever actually afford the deposit for a mortgage, I write dance music and build random stuff out of wood ... like furniture. It's really bad.

This seems like a pretty cool place and you people in the threads seem like the biker types I have enjoyed chatting with and meeting over the years, so looking forward to just a whole load of pointless babbling with you all. Thanks for having me!

Edit: Oh and I realise I'm not a new rider, but this seemed to be the only forum people were posting hellos in. Hope that's cool!

Good evening (or rather, good night).

Computer games where you have to fettle enough motorcycles from wood so you can buy a house with security doors that stop people dancing in and punching you in the face?

Welcome back, the bad news is we still haven't got wipers on visors.

I don't know you but I'd like to punch you in the face.
