    Hi folks, been a biker all my life and have returned to the VFR world, I bought an accident damaged 1990 VFR 750 in 1997 and loved it after a total rebuild. My son took up a lot of my time so ended up selling it, fast forward a few years and back to biking in various forms I am now the proud owner of a brand new 800. I bought without even a test ride it because I love the look and the style as well as the touring capabilities and remember the quality my 750 was.

    I still have my 2004 Ducati S2r that was registered for the first time ever last July by me, now done 296 miles.
    My KTM 990 Adventure 19.300 miles I bought new in 2014, it's going through some transformation just now (fed up on my tip toes)

    Anyway, 3 bikes in the garage, gorgeous weather here in the Shire and lockdown !

    Hope you're well everyone.

    A job well done for your first post Brian. Great photo, and the VFR is looking sharp!

    I hope the lockdown ends soon and you will be able to ride to your hearts content.

    Welcome to The World Brian! I’m know I can’t wait for this lock down to end and I’m sure everyone else here feels the same. Here’s to riding sooner, rather than later.

    As a child my family had what I remember as a great holiday at Butlins in Ayr. I loved it then although the idea of it now seems rather funny. This was around 1967. Originally from Skipton in Yorkshire. Great taste in motorcycles and colours.
    Welcome.
