New guy here from Lincolnshire
« on: September 25, 2018, 12:36:13 PM »
Hi guys,

Been a lurker for quite a while so I thought it was about time to register and put up a bit of a bio. I'm Steve from Allington just outside of Grantham and I am retired. I have just bought a CB500 four (not delivered yet hence no pic yet) to replace the one I had for a very short time back in the 70's. Been a died in the wool biker on and off since the early 70's but nowadays due to health, terrible roads here, traffic from hell and having the attention span of a goldfish any bikes are just an ornament that I pass the time of day buggering about with. It's in the blood.

Really enjoy reading the forum here so I thought it was time to step in and hopefully take part too.

Steve

Welcome to the forum Steve, from not far away just outside Horncastle. Yes, the road around Lincs are shite in places but as for volume of traffic, we find the roads pretty much dead over this way (being imports from down south everything is dead in Lincs....lovely!!) Enjoy playing with your new bike.

Thank you and looking forward to it arriving here  :)

My last bike here was a Harley Davidson Tractor Sporster (a late midlife crisis I think) and the roads and traffic in and around Grantham, the A1 and the A52 made me realise that I am far too long in the tooth to end up in a hedge on my backside now  :)

When it eventually arrives here it will be the first step for me reliving my misspent youth in the 70’s all over again :)
