I've looked on the site a couple of times for rideouts thought it was time I joined but i might get kicked straight off again when I say that my present ride is a scooter as I can.t ride my bike till I mod it a bit.been riding since the 60's
off and on do most of my riding on my own thought it might be good to go with others sometimes look forward to meeting some of you

Hi Dave, welcome to the forum, we wouldn't kick you off for riding a scooter, hell we still allow gixxers on here so you are totally safe:-)

Have a dig around the site's and get stuck in.

Playing a banjo might raise an eyebrow or two though

What was it Mark Twain said? ..... "The definition of a gentleman is a man who owns a banjo, and doesn't play it"

Mind you, if you play a banjo you will have heard that before - and a million others

Which is why I gave it up and went on to flat top guitar - that and the fact that I was crap

Oh and welcome aboard!

Hi
Thanks for the warm welcome. I might have made it sound more than it is (well I am a banjo player, sort of)
I struggle to bend my my knee, have to sit on the pillion seat to change gear and its pretty uncomfortable after about 10 miles, so I am going to fit a forward peg and hopefully make a gearchange for it if it works ok. I've ordered crash bars from crazy iron (Russia) don't know if anyone here has bought anything from them, cause on the MT07 there is nothing to mount it on and yes I have heard most of the jokes about banjo players sad thing is the're mostly true

Welcome from another banjo picker!

Banjo & Jock - a bit off-topic here, but as banjo pickers I take it you both know about the 13th annual Cornish Bluegrass Festival at Hendra from the 16th to 18th September?

Hello Banjo, looks like we might be forming an SWB Bluegrass band at this rate, if you need a singer, give me a call ;) ......

Hi Dave,

Have you considered the Kliktronic device to change gears. I cannot change gears with my foot and I'm having the device fitted to my bike.

Cheers

Hi
Regards Cornish bluegrass I might go on the Saturday, went for the first 10 years great weekend and cheap
the kliktronic could be an option but I still need a forward peg.
thanks for the idea, this seems a really friendly site.
