South West Bikers | Motorcycle Forum

Hello Everyone,

Well my life has changed a lot since I was last on here in 2013; I've still got the Nuda and still living in Torquay. I've gone from being a commercial dive/survey vessel, skipper/owner; to creating a wildlife rescue centre called ELM Wildlife in 2018. Still trying to make up my mind if that was good, bad or mad.

I've not stopped riding during this time, but ELM is a 7 day a week job. I've done a fair amount of riding on my own, plus riding with a couple of groups over the past 3 or 4 years.

Why am I back, well I was chatting to Simon this morning and he was telling me about this forum. I'd forgotten I was a member, I'm busy, that's my excuse. The Nuda isn't being a good girl, still riding her, but she needs some tlc, hence my chat with Simon.

Looking forward to riding with you guys.
Rick

Hi & welcome back, though you pre-date me on here.

Lovely bike the Nuda, not many about though.

Welcome back Rick : )

Hope you get the bike sorted soon and can find a bit of time to enjoy it : )

Thank you for the welcome Jug, I see you've got a very nice stable of bikes; very jealous.

Thank you for the welcome Church. I am still riding it at the moment, but it's not a very rewarding experience at the moment; I hope we can get it sorted.

What's up with your Nuda?
Maybe start a new thread so we can all give you useless advice to help spur you on.

Welcome back. Hope to see you on a ride out in 2025

Been out over the winter a little, but bloody cold; looking forward to warmer weather. Hopefully see you soon.

I already can't make up my mind, with the info I've had so far; hoping Simon can sort me out.

I checked the other day, after you said that; 24 on the road, mind you the SORN ones may be waiting for a glimpse of sun.

Looking at 'How many left' (registered & SORN) it thinks there are;

Nuda 900 - 50
Nuda 900 ABS - 4
Nuda 900 R - 65
Nuda 900 R ABS - 16

So 135 in total in the UK.. which makes them pretty rare I think.

Compared that to my old 990 Superduke, there's still 801 of them out there.
