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  :)

Just digging up a fascinating old thread... I was brought up on a fun fair and as a kid spent a lot of time building, fixing and riding (off road) various Bantams, C15's, Tiger Cubs, Honda 50's and scooters then on my 16th birthday and back on the Isle of Wight bought an FS1E (life defining moment) and started work in a plastic precision engineering company making parts for Rolls Royce and cigarette manufacturing machines. A few years later moved into boat building (much more money) as well as breaking cars in my spare time and then in the early 80's trained and became a photographer and videographer and moved to Darlington.

In the mid 90's started a company called Racing Composites in Lincolnshire making the bodywork for a lot of the motorbike racing teams here and abroad and the then growing track day market and then after a competitor bought us out started an internet company in a completely different direction altogether. We sold the internet company back in 2015 and retired.

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
