Hey all,

I used to be quite active on this forum, but my last post now is from 10 years ago! Long story short, I sold my last bike (CBR 600 F4) when I bought a house, and needing a car I couldn't afford it all. Something had to give and unfortunately it was the bike.

I thought that was that, sold all my gear, forgot my password for this forum...and then the last 3 or 4 years I've been getting that itch again.
Giving the odd biker nod to others when I'm driving my car, having those conversations with other bikers saying "Ah yea, I used to have a bike" etc.

This year everything fell into place and I decided to start again, 2 weeks ago picked up this 2013 STR 675, a bike I always dreamed of when I started out Very Happy

Anyway, happy to be back! One small update now is that I am living in Yvelines, France. A whole other story but hopefully I can still contribute! And you never know maybe there are some other expat bikers in France, I haven't found any yet I think it's a small demographic but fingers crossed Thumbs Up
