New Member Introductions / Hi from yet another newbie
« on: January 18, 2013, 04:58:44 PM »
Hi everyone
My name is Andy and I live in Coventry (exiled here from Berkshire many years ago).
I've recently registered on the "international" SOHC4 forum and from there was pointed over here - so here I am to join in the fun here too.
I've been riding bikes for a little over 39years - mostly Hondas.
I have a 1976 CB400F that I've owned since 1977. Sadly it's in need of a fair bit of work and has languished in the garage for far too long. That said, I've been collecting bits and pieces to do the things that need doing and those other things that I want to do to it .... and one of these days I'll find the time to get the project ON !
The bike I spend most of my time on now is my Aprilia Falco which I bought new in 2005 - a great bike and even better with the mods that I've spent my time putting in place.
We have a few other bikes in the garage. My youngest son has a 50cc scooter, my eldest son has a 1975 CB125 .... which is soon to be passed on to my middle son as a friend gave up riding and gave his Burgman 400 to my eldest son. He'd not intended owning a maxi scooter and I think it'll just be a temporary thing until he finds another bike - but it would have been rude to refuse it.
I guess bikes are in the blood - my Grandad had a bike with sidecar and my dad rode bike too - as did my kid brother.
Well that's enough about me for the time being.
If this forum has a virtual bar, I guess this round's on me.
