Usually newbies give a bit more of an introduction, as in your biking history & a couple of pictures etc, I see that @Sandi T. teased a few more details out of you, so don't be shy, we really don't bite mate!
Yeah been riding off an on since 1978, stopped riding to raise money for racing cars started riding again and passed the direct access licence in 2015 so I could go to my now son-in-laws stag doo at Thunder in the Glens "Harley meet" and as they say the rest is history
That's more like it Redwood starting to get to know you now! What sort of car racing did you do? Would imagine it was bloody expensive, I do clubman bike racing which is bad enough, can't imagine that racing any sort of car except possibly banger racing would be cheap. I test rode a 1200 Explorer a couple of years back while my Street RS was serviced, thought I would hate it but really enjoyed riding it.
