A big Hi! from a newbie

Hello all.
I have been reading bits and pieces on the website and decided that you people have a good time on your bikes, so I decided to register.
I'm aged 57 (but look younger, so I'm told), follicly "challenged", normally clean shaven, and don't have any bad habits that anyone's complained about (too much).
I live in Exeter
My bike (currently garaged until the better weather!) is a black 98 Yamaha Fazer FZS600.
I have had the bike for two years now, having had the urge to ride again after mortgage, family growing up, etc.
I am a good weather biker (I know, I know) who enjoys a little ride now and again
Never ridden abroad; never been on a track day. Really keen on the RTTB 2015 and have put it in my diary, but would like to go on other rides (work and wife permitting

). Also fancy going to British Superbikes, etc.

Hi there and welcome in. Glad you like the idea of the RTTB, it's normally fun.
Of don't mind fair weather riding, rain is zero fun.
Get your name down on stuff, pop along to the pub meet on Wednesday and say hi.
Might I say you kept me entertained whilst being POTUS, some classic words you came up with.

Hi to you too.
Don't know which pub you refer to? Unfortunately I work nights

, but I will keep an eye on things.
Being a newbie can you explain "POTUS" to me please? Ta.

Welcome. Bit far from me but maybe see you at Thruxton next August.
I might wave as you pass me for the buns but I'm not keen to ride up to Exeter overnight just to join an early ride back home!

Jammy so and so! Nice colour bike. Orange my favourite (probably something to do with being a summer baby - August?).
