I've just registered today. I am in Dawlish, been here for about 18 years, divorced and remarried in 1999. I've had a driving licence since 1976 and always fancied doing my bike test when I was a kid but my old man always said "No boy, you need a car around ya! 'Cos if you have an accident it won't hurt as much", so I left it, Thanks Dad! In October 2002 I did a Direct Access course with Abbotts Motorcycles in Newton Abbot and passed first time so I've now been riding for nearly 15 years.
My first bike was a new 52 plate Honda Hornet 600, at first it was a bit hairy until I got the hang of it. I had the Hornet for just on 5 years when I px'd it for a new 57 plate CB1300sa8 and just as I was getting used to it some muppet tried to drive over it while it was parked up. The insurance eventually paid out for a new 58 plate model which I still have and I love it.....I don't wash it...... but I love it. It's got about 28,500 miles on it and I get around 37mpg from it.
Well that's enough from me, I'm gonna go and do some lurking around the forum to see whats what.
