Just saying hello

Old biker aged 51...Had my 97 Thundercat since about 2006 and I put about 30,000 miles of the 48,000 on it but I do have other bikes.

Nephew got the Thundercat initially and after a year changed ownership to his wife as she passed her test, I then purchased it and put the big miles on...sold it to a friend who traded it into a local dealer, however another friend bought the bike and had a little spill (15 mph) I then bought the bike back because I regretted selling the bike that I had become such a part of. It had a few scuffs so I put a James Toseland sticker set and covered the bike....these are now removed and i'm gradually bringing it back to standard.

I also have a Suzuki Bandit 1200S K6 the very last of the 1200 Bandits only made in 2006 a hybrid with the 1250 watercooled bodywork and the air/oil cooled engine. I also ride a 1980 Honda 250N Superdream made really old school...some will know me from other bike forums as Ivor Hugh Jarse but at a recent Superdream camping weekend we were given badges to wear and my wife got Mrs Hugh Jarse!...I know not to make that mistake again

Hi & Welcome aboard mate.

You've certainly got the paintwork covered.
Looking good.
I can understand why your wife's Hugh Jarse identification didn't go down well. Once bitten twice shy they say

Cheers

Hi & Welcome to the forum.

You'll prob have noticed that there are a few of us here-abouts in the same age bracket (if you look at our profile to the right of posts)

We've a couple of the site ride outs yet to come (see Taste of Lincolnshire & Surf & Turf ), this season still, . . . if we can tweek your interest to come along. You'll get a warm welcome.

cheers

I do regular nights at the weekends but I can work Sat night and do a ride out on Sundays and go straight through to work again without sleep until the Monday morning...the art is getting loads of sleep before hand and building a cushion. What time is the start of the ride from Beverly on Sun?

Hello and welcome! Nice bike collection

I'd guess about 9am. Greencat will let us know nearer the time....unless he already has and I missed it or have forgotten it.

Be good to see you there.

Welcome aboard, age is merely a number. Or so they say!

Come in, sit your Hugh Jarse down and enjoy the banter.

Hi there and welcome aboard, Blimey you've got a bike or two in the stable there haven't you, keep trying to persuade my wife that I should have another bike but she ain't convinced, may have to show her that picture to help my case
