Back again chaps.

[LoSt]

Hello,

I've made my way back to the forums after a fairly lengthy hiatus. I was last here whilst I was doing my full license about 8 years ago.

Over the last 8 Years I've had a few bikes, but struggled to keep with the hobby usually selling my bike and going without one for a year or so before buying another.

I have had a bike in the garage consistently for about 2 years now and cant imagine not having one. I have recently purchased my first new motorcycle and am hopelessly in love with it. I've always had an affinity with motorcycling but it seems to have gotten a lot stronger with age.

Anyway, Hello again, I'm hoping to be around for a while this time, keen to get out and about, clock some miles up

That is a beauty, I am keen on buying one but not sure how I can (a) convince missus om that I need a third bike and can afford a second new one this year (b) get it in the garage.
You have inspired me to persevere.

Enjoy it, it looks great.

Nice bike. I really like these, but they are a bit outside my budget.

Uninteresting fact, my 9 year old son caught me looking at Fazers the other day (not a euphemism) and said ‘oh no please don’t get a Fazer they are disgusting, get a proper motorbike’.

‘What’s a proper motorbike then?’ I enquired.

He points to a listing for an RE Interceptor; ‘That, that’s a proper motorbike. Get one of them.’

So there you go, my 9 year old thinks you’re cooler than me.

Cool looking retro machine! I recently found out how much fun ''small'' retro bikes can be. I got a XBR 500, kick starting it only.

They look great and a huge improvement technically on the Bullet era stuff from what I gather.

Very nice. Especially with that paint job.

Thanks for the replies, I am enjoying the bike immensely.

Doesn't garner quite as much attention as the battle green classic 500 did, but in my opinion that's a good thing

Cheers
