Hi,
Been away from bikes for a few years due to other stresses on finances (building house and stuff) but my wife got so fed up with me moaning about having to sell my bike, I came home from a business trip a few weeks ago to find a 954 Blade in my kitchen
Been getting my confidence back over the last couple of weeks, little rides across dartmoor etc. and would like to join in with whatever is going on in the area. I live between Okehampton and Tavistock and am looking forward to a good summer of rideouts and meets.
Look forward to meeting you all.

Hi hemi and welcome...blade..in the kitchen you say...good choice of ride...bad choice of storage location...but we can overlook that...
I refuse to enter into a battle of wits against someone who is unarmed. It's better to remain silent and be thought of as a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt.
