New Dog says "Hello"!

Hi all,
Dogbad in Lancaster here. Had bikes since I ws 8 years old and had a few years of no licence due to brain injuries. Got it back a couple of years ago and been through a shedload of different bikes. Latest swap is to a '99 Thundercat. First legal ride on it was today, taxed it, and it is a good tight engine. Looks like it's been down on one side at some point as transfers aren't on the lowers right hand side. No other damage that I can see and it's only done 17000 miles from new, less than 30 miles since the last MOT! So far I like the bike and hope I can get my head round the "Sports Tourer" type of bike.
Glad I found you all.

Hi, welcome.

Hope you get to grips with the sports tourer bit and am able to enjoy the bike as we do.

Come in, make yourself at home. great

And you may find that the Cat can do 'sports' and 'tourer' almost as well as dedicated bikes in each genre. My favourite statistic is that the Cat has more peak torque than EVERY R6 that has been made.

Thanks for the welcomes all. I think that Ellie might have seen these photo's on the Bikers Oracle bit but I'll show 'em here as well cos they is nice innit! Rolling Eyes

It took me nearly a week to spot the Transfers aren't there on the right hand side confused

I am actually coming to think it looks better wi'out 't Transfers!
