    Hi all,

    I've just joined your forum. I'm an oldie (53) from London/Herts as well being a newbie. Moved to a Triumph Exlporer 1200 from a Triumph Tiger 1050 in September (bought the first Triumph in 2013) Prior to that, always had jap stuff. Year round rider who commutes into the smoke on average 1,000 miles a month. Looking forward to using the forum! Cheers.

    Hello Andy. I'm 67 and don't consider myself old. Riding about 5000 miles a year in all weathers and won't give up biking while I can still get on one!!

    Hi Andy. 53, a mere youngster around here. Enjoy the banter and if you get stuck there's loads of folk who might be able to help out too.
