Hi to all! :spudwave:
I'm another of the (so I'm told) large number of guys returning to bikes after a 5 or 10 years absence.
I saw an old '85 Katana 1100 (needs TLC) for sale a few weeks back and just couldn't resist the urge to relive my youth
Only time will tell it that was a stupid idea or not...

I came back after 25 years and I'm loving every moment of it. Welcome back and have a good time on the site (and the road)...might see you out there.

As a RMB (returing middle-aged biker) myself it's definintely not a dumb idea! I went through all the usual emotions and questions as to whether I was being silly, but it was the best thing I could have done! You won't regret it, just go easy on the throttle for a while, the 1100 is still a fast bike by todays standards and even on the 'F' I have about twice the power of my previous bikes and gave myself a fright once or twice until I got back into the groove again! How about a pic of the bike? They were a nice machine.

Welcome to KB mate.
No longer absent
Welcome Slides!
I am back in the saddle after almost 20 years. I have asked myself "why" several times and have not come up with any answer that made sense - but who cares!
The best reason I can think of is that bikes make mature guys practically irresistible to women.
Finding the inner self
Hey Slides & welcome back in the game!
I too was a returning biker & the advice given here is spot on in taking it easy for a start, I know I gave myself a couple of scares before everything begun to bed back in.
One of the greatest rides I ever had was on a silver Katana 1100, this one was the limited edition wire wheel model with fancy carbs & bits. Whoa did it have some get up & go!!!
So have fun & get a pic of the bike up sometime.

Welcome mate.
To every man upon this earth
Death cometh sooner or late
And how can a man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
And the temples of his Gods

Welcome Slides!
Yup, there is certainly a few of us "getting back on the horse" after a few years in the cage...
Good on ya for going for an '80's bike!!
