Hi, All.

Been riding since 1979 (ouch that old I,m affraid), Raced in F2 for Kawasaki, road against people like Brent Jones, Roger Freeth (sorry old folk only will know these guys).

Crashed out big time in 82 season....lotsa broken bones !!.

Started riding again this month...

Bike is a 97/98 model storm, Viper Race Cans, ported & polished heads, cams, blade front forks.....goes like stink does about 70 miles to the tank (full chat).....scares the crap outta me !!.

So thats it in a nutshell, but thanks (I think) to Dangerous for pointing me this way.
:done:

hello and welcome, I'm impressed with your bravery getting back into bikes after "lotsa broken bones" are you racing again or merely choosing bikes as a mode of transport. cheers Lucy

Not racing as such (not allowed...wifes orders), maybe the odd track day. This is just a "toy", for summer (dont laugh, we get a least one good week a year !!!).
