    Just Joined KB (Lil_Byte)

    Just saying hello - from the Deepish South.

    The weather is getting better here and the ice is off the roads so the bike is getting dusted off again.

    I ride a Suzuki GS1200ss after selling my GSX1100R to buy a house.

    Started riding again, about 4 years ago, after a 20 year break. Enjoying it very muchly but finding the knees don't work as well as they used to when I was 20 something years younger.
    I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

    A warm welcome from up north. I had a 10-15 year layoff when the kids were little so you're in good company. I found out that my knees weren't in great shape either when I switched from the BMW to the Blackbird but a few exercises and regular dollops of glucosamine as Kiwifruit correctly points out has made quite a bit of diffference.

    Enjoy the site!

    Sounds like I will have to find some of that Gluca stuff. Might be helpful

    Yeah, but maybe not everyone wants to ride a CBR1000....
