gee it's good to be back home....

I'm not a new member, but it's been so bloody log since I irritated people on KB I might as well be a noob. My name is David, and I'm a bikeaholic.

Since I was last here, my T Bird was written off when a woman in a nasty BMW turned across in front of me. I loved that bike more than life itself, so I bought a Trophy 1200 frame with live rego and modified it to fit the running gear from my T Bird Sport, so I own a 1995 Trophy 1200 that looks like a 2004 T Bird Sport. I haven't ridden her for a while (long story), but I have been riding a bike. Kind of. For all of 2016 I rode a Honda NBC110 Postie bike, covering nearly 20,000 kms delivering mail.

At first I thought I'd hate it, but I started having FUN! I learnt how to pull cracker wheelies (using judder bars), dragged my panniers so often I ended up losing mail from the holes I wore in them, holed a piston and only came off once (not paying attention).

KB doesn't look like it's changed a bit, so it's good to be back.

Unfortunately/Typically/Sadly/Worryingly and........ Really? are just some of the adverbs that can be used for a returning member.

True...

After about 18 months away (Last Rep Oct 15) I am back too... Well have been for a few weeks now.
Much more involved in the industry than I used to be... Less racing these days.
