Title: hi all!
Post by: rodmac on December 12, 2013, 06:50:44 PM
Just joined the forum, I am a born again biker from Wickford, Essex. I first rode bikes in the early 70's and had a Honda 250cc, I always aspired to have a 750 four but was just a boyhood dream at the time. I sold my 250 a week before my planned bike test and decided that a car was the way forward. Years later, how I wished that I had just taken my bike test when it was really simple! About 5 years ago, I had the urge to ride bikes again, although restricted to 125cc. I bought a new HN 125 (Chinese) and the little bike was great but somewhat lacking in power! I decided to get my full licence via the DAS route and passed both Mod 1 and 2 first time and bought a CB 1300 which is just great. I have recently purchased a 1977 750 four F2, it is currently a non runner but I can't wait to get it on the road again, which is why I have joined this forum,
Happy and safe biking everyone.

Welcome
 Nice to know there's someone else with a 750 not to far away.There far better than the modern crap.
I have been considering buying an F to replace my incredibly crap Triumph.

Hi Rodmac and welcome,
                     Don't worry about the born again bit, I'm on my 3rd rebirth of my bike, but at least it confirms my loyalties to two wheels.
