Hello all, thanks for the invite by Billinom8s.
I jumped from a 125cc about 25 years ago and then straight on to a CBR1000, then a ZZR1100 as a commuter between Torquay and Plymouth, then Exeter with my latest 1200 I've had about 6 years. I'm 51 and no longer commuting so would like to do a bit more riding. I am no expert!
Look forward to seeing some of you!
Harry.

Hi Harry and welcome to the forum.
Plenty of rides coming up, stuff being planned for next year already too.
Feel free to join in on the runs out or even organising one yourself if nothing takes your fancy.
Jump on in.

Hi Harry
Welcome to the forum. Hope that you enjoy it here. I have a similar story was on 50cc and 125cc at 16 / 17 years old then got fed up with getting wet and turned to those funny boxes with 4 wheels
roll forward to 2010 (and my then 35th Birthday) and get a bit of spare cash and managed to get myself a K1 GSXR 600. Been loving riding ever since and only ride for fun and enjoyment, leave the getting from A to B to those funny boxes with 4 wheels.
Hope you have a lot of fun on here, when its the warmer months there are ride outs most weekends and when not in Covid times we used to have a meet up at a local pub for Moto GP watching not to mention many people (myself included) enjoy a track day or 5.
Welcome and Enjoy
