    Hello, my name's John and I'm a biker (or rather I soon will be - again!)

    I've just placed an order for a Triumph Tiger Explorer 1200 in sapphire blue. It's due in a couple of weeks!!

    I've been riding bikes since I was 16 (OK, since I was 15, but only in farmer's fields and never on the roads officer - honest! :wink: ). I've ridden all sorts of bikes from a BSA Bantam Bushman and a Vesper Scooter through to Moto Guzzi T3, a Kawasaki Z900 and a Honda VTR1000 Firestorm. Alas, a few years ago the pressures of work forced me to hang up my helmet and travel all over the world on business. Well, now I'm back in the UK for good and I'm returning to my roots - biking! :upyeah:

    Thanks for the welcome. However, from your comment, I can tell you've never had to travel for a living.
